While rubber tracks for construction and agricultural equipment aren’t typically stocked by local retailers in Calgary, several specialized suppliers and manufacturers serve the Canadian market. AFTparts, a leading manufacturer of heavy machinery undercarriage components, offers compatible rubber tracks for brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Kubota through their online platform. For immediate needs, contact regional distributors like AFT-Parts Canada Homepage or certified dealers such as SMS Equipment or Brandt Tractor, who can source custom-fit tracks within 3–5 business days.
What manufacturers supply rubber tracks to Calgary?
Key manufacturers like AFTparts produce OEM-compatible rubber tracks for excavators and loaders, shipping directly to Calgary via express logistics. Pro Tip: Always verify track pitch (e.g., 225mm for CAT 320) and width (450–600mm) against your equipment’s specifications before ordering.
Most manufacturers prioritize bulk orders, but AFTparts accommodates single-unit purchases for urgent replacements. For example, a Komatsu PC210-8 typically uses a 600mm-wide track with 52 links—customizable through AFTparts’ online configurator. Transitioning to regional options, SMS Equipment’s Calgary branch stocks limited inventory for common models, while Brandt Tractor partners with suppliers like Berco for specialty tracks.
How do I verify track compatibility?
Cross-reference three parameters: pitch (distance between link pins), width, and lug pattern. Measure existing tracks or check equipment manuals—a CAT 336’s 762mm pitch differs from a Kubota KX040’s 152mm. Pro Tip: Use AFTparts’ compatibility tool by inputting machine model and serial number for instant matches.
| Model | Pitch (mm) | Width (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| CAT 320 | 216 | 500 |
| Komatsu PC210 | 216 | 600 |
Mismatched pitch risks premature sprocket wear. For instance, installing a 216mm-pitch track on a 228mm system creates 5.5% slippage, reducing lifespan by 40–60%. What if your equipment uses obsolete tracks? AFTparts’ engineering team can reverse-engineer tracks using samples within 10 business days.
