Excavator Track Pads

What are Excavator Track Pads?

Excavator track pads deliver the solid foundation heavy equipment operators demand, maximizing traction and performance in challenging environments. Constructed from industrial-grade rubber compounds, these pads withstand punishing jobsite conditions while preventing costly damage to concrete, asphalt, and other finished surfaces that steel tracks would otherwise destroy.

Available in multiple configurations and precise sizing to fit equipment from all major manufacturers, our rubber track pads transform your machine’s capabilities while extending the service life of your valuable steel undercarriage components.

Advanced Engineering & Maximum Durability for Heavy Machinery

The critical interface between rubber pad and steel undercarriage components determines overall system performance and service life. Our Bridgestone rubber track pads feature:

• Superior Bonding Technology: Specialized treatment process ensures optimal rubber-to-metal adhesion even in extreme conditions
• Anti-Delamination Design: Engineered to prevent the separation that causes premature pad failure
• Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Protects steel components from moisture and chemical exposure
• Stress-Dispersing Architecture: Pro-edge design distributes impact forces to prevent edge damage when traversing curbs and obstacles
• Preventative Maintenance Protocol: Easy-to-identify wear indicators signal when inspection or replacement is needed

Regular inspection remains essential for maximizing track pad lifespan—our product documentation includes a comprehensive guide to identifying early wear patterns before they lead to costly repairs or equipment downtime.

Clip-On Track Pad Systems

• Tool-Minimal Installation: Single-side clip design allows for rapid pad changes with basic tools
• Safe Installation Process: No need to work underneath the machine, significantly reducing workplace hazards
• Cost-Effective Solution: Lower initial investment makes these ideal for contractors with occasional surface protection needs
• Minimal Downtime: Field-replaceable design allows operators to swap pads without returning to shop facilities
• Complete Steel Coverage: Full rubber overlay prevents any steel-to-ground contact
• Enhanced Stability: Larger ground-contact area improves machine stability during operation
• Simplified Maintenance: Non-permanent mounting allows for easy cleaning and inspection of steel track components

Choose the track pad mounting system that best fits your specific operational requirements, equipment specifications, and budget constraints.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

Proper installation and maintenance of rubber track pads is crucial to get optimal performance, extend their life and prevent damage to steel tracks. Here are some tips to consider:

• Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions: Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for installation and maintenance to get the best results and avoid voiding any warranties.
• Clean Steel Tracks: Before installing rubber track pads, make sure the steel tracks are clean and free of debris. This will help in getting a secure fit and prevent premature wear.
• Use Correct Tools: Use the right tools and equipment during installation to avoid damaging the rubber track pads or steel tracks.
• Regular Inspections: Check the rubber track pads frequently for signs of wear and tear, cracks or protruding steel parts. Early detection can prevent bigger issues down the line.
• Timely Replacements: If you notice any damage or excessive wear, replace the rubber track pads immediately to get optimal performance and protect the steel tracks.
• Keep Pads Clean: Clean the rubber track pads regularly to remove any debris that can cause damage or reduce their life.
• Minimize Noise and Vibration: High quality rubber pads minimize noise and vibration, reduces wear on machinery and complies with industry standards in noise sensitive areas.

By following these tips you can get reliable performance and longevity from your rubber track pads and protect your investment in heavy construction machinery.
