IMPROVE LIFE AND REDUCE PREMATURE TRACK FAILURE ON THE SYSTEM-ONE AND HEAVY DUTY UNDERCARRIAGE
Do you have a high drive D6 or D5 Caterpillar crawler that is experiencing a recurring problem with the track link assembly? Are your track link assemblies and the final drives failing prematurely? Are you repairing your tracks at early hours? Do your machines ever work in wet environments such as moist soil, snow, or mud?
After ten years of field testing, we have a solution for your problems! Our solution will bring your operating cost per hour down substantially.
THE PROBLEM
These photos will show what your undercarriage probably looks like without our solution.
When working in wet and snow conditions with the design of the single reduction drive, material packs between the outer flange and the sprocket. This then lifts the rail on one side and allows it to run off centre and also twists the link assemblies.
As you can see the rail is running off centre with the sprocket shaving the inside of the link. This creates an off centre run pattern which minimizes the life of the link assembly.
These photos show premature final drive failure caused by the sprocket skipping in the link assembly and shock loading the final drive.
Here are examples of sprocket shaving and bias link wear.
We have designed and developed a solution to this problem. It will maximize your undercarriage, component, and structural life. In the past ten years of field testing in different geographic areas of Saskatchewan and Alberta Canada, the results have been outstanding and are we are seeing very minimal failures with undercarriage and drive components. The results are showing the following:
• INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
• MINIMAL DOWN TIME
• SUBSTANTIALLY LESS COST PER HOUR ON UNDERCARRIAGE & DRIVE COMPONENTS
These are all factors that are very important to the contractor, to allow them to capitalize on profitability in their competitive environment.
The Solution:
It is hard to create an undercarriage that can be compatible to all geographical areas in the world. Our solution can increase its cost efficiency in geographical environments that have moist soil, snow, or mud.
