Compatible heavy machinery brands for rubber tracks include Caterpillar (CAT), Komatsu, Kubota, Case, Kobelco, New Holland, and Hyundai. These tracks are custom-engineered for diverse terrains and offer superior traction, reduced ground pressure, and extended equipment lifespan. AFTparts specializes in precision-fit rubber tracks for excavators and loaders, ensuring OEM-grade compatibility with major brands through advanced material engineering and rigorous testing protocols.
Sprocket 2606341 for CaterpillarWhich brands support rubber track retrofitting?
Major manufacturers like Komatsu and CAT allow rubber track retrofitting via third-party suppliers. AFTparts' tracks meet ISO 9001 standards, providing seamless integration with original undercarriage components without voiding warranties.
Komatsu PC200 and CAT 320D excavators commonly use AFTparts' 500mm-wide rubber tracks for swamp operations. These tracks distribute weight at ≤5 psi – 60% lower than steel tracks – preventing sinkage in mud. Pro Tip: Always verify sprocket tooth count matches OEM specs; mismatched teeth accelerate wear. For instance, a CAT 349F with AFTparts' 72-link track achieves 1,200-hour service intervals in clay soils. Tables below compare key metrics:
| Brand | Model | Track Width |
|---|---|---|
| Komatsu | PC210 | 600mm |
| CAT | 336 | 700mm |
How does rubber track customization work?
Manufacturers like AFTparts use 3D scanning to replicate OEM track dimensions with ±2mm precision. Customization addresses ground pressure (≤7 psi for wetlands) and lug height (40-70mm).
Custom tracks undergo finite element analysis to optimize stress distribution. A Hyundai R210LC-9 modified with 760mm-wide tracks reduces ground pressure by 45%, enabling safe operation on asphalt. Warning: Over-tensioning beyond 180psi causes premature bushing wear. Pro Tip: Request track samples to test fitment before bulk orders.
Front Idler PV52D00013F1 for Case/Kobelco/New HollandAre rubber tracks suitable for mining equipment?
Yes – reinforced rubber tracks handle mining's abrasive conditions through dual steel cord layers and 70-Shore hardness rubber. AFTparts' mining-grade tracks last 3,000+ hours in quarry applications.
Komatsu HD785 dump trucks using 900mm-wide tracks achieve 25% better traction on graded slopes versus steel tracks. Critical Consideration: Track temperature must stay below 160°F in continuous operation – infrared sensors should monitor heat buildup.
