REDUCING UNDERCARRIAGE REPAIR COSTS

0 comments

WORK IT HARD, MAKE IT LAST.

Get the most from your undercarriage investment. Undercarriage represents an average 50% of your machine’s owning and operating costs, so it makes sense to invest in a system that will deliver the most value.

MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE.

Our Undercarriage is designed to work and wear as a system to help make it last with correct operation and maintenance. Undercarriage maintenance costs can consume a large portion of your maintenance budget. It’s good to understand how it works so you can reduce wear and minimize costs.

OPTIMUM TRACK TENSION

Tight tracks create excess stress throughout the undercarriage, increasing wear on bushings, sprockets, links, and idlers. Follow the tension-adjusting procedures in your machine’s owner’s manual.


THE RIGHT SHOE WIDTH FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

The extra flotation of the wide shoes used for muddy conditions can actually increase wear and strain on links, pins, and bushings when used in high impact conditions.

PREPARE MACHINES FOR UNDERFOOT CONDITIONS

You can equip the machine to handle the soil conditions of a specific environment. Use center-punched shoes and optimize guarding in muddy conditions to reduce packing and the increased tension and wear it causes. Use extreme service shoes and carrier rollers for abrasive conditions.
