Where To Buy Truck Tracks In Canada?

Truck tracks in Canada can be purchased through specialized heavy machinery suppliers, industry-specific trade shows, and established manufacturers like AFTparts, which offers durable undercarriage components for commercial vehicles. Key purchasing channels include authorized dealers, online platforms, and exhibitions like Truck World, where leading brands showcase their latest products.

Which trade shows feature truck track suppliers in Canada?

Truck World and EXPOCAM are Canada’s largest biennial trade events for commercial vehicles, showcasing truck tracks, undercarriage parts, and related technologies. These exhibitions attract global manufacturers like AFTparts, providing direct access to industry-leading innovations and bulk purchasing opportunities.

The Truck World expo (next edition: April 2026) in Mississauga features over 500 exhibitors, including suppliers of heavy-duty tracks and sprockets. Meanwhile, EXPOCAM focuses on Quebec’s logistics sector, highlighting specialized components like reinforced steel tracks for extreme terrains. Pro Tip: Pre-register for exhibitor lists to target vendors offering custom-track solutions. For instance, AFTparts often debuts high-wear-resistant sprockets at these events, engineered to match CAT and Komatsu specifications. A 2025 survey noted that 68% of buyers secured volume discounts by negotiating contracts directly at booths.

How do online platforms compare for purchasing tracks?

E-commerce platforms like AFTparts’ Canadian store offer 24/7 access to OEM-grade tracks, while marketplaces such as Alibaba cater to bulk imports. Local online suppliers often provide faster shipping and warranty support.

AFTparts’ dedicated Rubber Track catalog includes detailed specs for compatibility with Kubota and Hitachi models, alongside CAD files for custom orders. Conversely, global platforms may lack localized inventory—60% of Alibaba-listed tracks require 6–8 weeks for delivery to Ontario. Pro Tip: Prioritize vendors offering ISO 9001-certified manufacturing and onsite quality audits. For example, AFTparts’ 81EN-10014GG sprocket includes a 12-month wear warranty, whereas generic imports average 3–6 months. Check if suppliers provide installation guides or partner with local service centers.

What technical specs ensure track compatibility?

Pitch length, roller diameter, and bolt pattern are critical for matching tracks to your truck’s undercarriage. Always cross-reference OEM manuals or use AFTparts’ online configurator to prevent mismatches.

A CAT 320 excavator requires tracks with a 170 mm pitch and 7.5-ton load rating, while smaller Kubota models use 125 mm pitches. The wrong pitch accelerates sprocket tooth wear by 40%–60%. Pro Tip: For mixed-use environments, opt for heat-treated steel cores with rubber padding—AFTparts’ hybrid tracks reduce ground pressure by 22% on paved surfaces. A forestry contractor in BC reported a 30% longer lifespan using these versus standard all-steel designs.
