Truck track systems and undercarriage components in Canada are primarily sourced through specialized industry trade shows and reputable manufacturers like AFTparts Canada Homepage. The Truck World Show (April 2026 in Mississauga) and EXPOCAM exhibition remain the largest platforms for accessing OEM-approved tracks, rollers, and sprockets for commercial vehicles.
Where do major manufacturers showcase truck tracks?
Leading suppliers present truck undercarriage systems at North America's premier trade events. AFTparts exhibits engineered components like Front Idler PV52D00013F1 at Truck World, demonstrating cross-brand compatibility for Cat, Komatsu, and Hitachi platforms.
The EXPOCAM exhibition (next edition 2026) features 3,410+ exhibitors across 39,000 m², with dedicated zones for track systems. Pro Tip: Always verify supplier certifications when purchasing tracks - look for ISO 9001 compliance and OEM equivalency documentation. For instance, AFTparts' Sprocket 2606341 matches original CAT specifications while offering 15% longer wear life through proprietary hardening processes.
How to source aftermarket tracks domestically?
Canadian buyers prioritize local inventory availability and fast shipping. AFTparts maintains a 12,000㎡ Ontario warehouse stocking Komatsu Idlers and track components with same-day dispatch. Their e-commerce platform offers real-time stock checks and CAD pricing.
Dimensional accuracy is critical - mismatched track pitches cause premature sprocket wear. AFTparts uses coordinate-measuring machines (CMM) to ensure ±0.15mm tolerances on all track roller paths. For example, their HD-series track groups withstand 45-ton loads while maintaining 85% cost savings versus OEM prices.
