Excavator Track Pads

Excavator Track Pads: Heavy-Duty Rubber Pads for Steel Tracks

Every operator knows the sinking feeling of hearing steel grousers crunch against fresh asphalt or decorative concrete. In the construction industry, protecting the job site surface is just as important as the excavation itself. That is where high-quality excavator track pads become essential equipment. By bridging the gap between your heavy machinery and the ground, these pads allow you to take on versatile projects without the risk of costly surface damage.

At Skid Heaven, we supply professional-grade rubber track pads designed to withstand the punishing conditions of modern construction sites. Whether you are working in urban demolition, utility repair, or residential landscaping, our pads transform your steel-tracked excavator into a surface-friendly machine, ensuring you can bid on more jobs and keep your clients happy.

Why Invest in Premium Rubber Track Pads?

Adding rubber pads to your steel undercarriage is not just about avoiding fines for damaged pavement; it is about upgrading your machine’s overall performance. The interface between your machine and the ground dictates stability, traction, and operator comfort. Inferior pads can chunk, peel, or delaminate after just a few weeks of use, leading to downtime and frustration.

Our selection of heavy-duty excavator pads is engineered to solve these common headaches. By choosing our premium inventory, you are investing in:

  • ✔Total Surface Protection: Eliminate damage to asphalt, concrete, pavers, and established lawns.
  • ✔Enhanced Operator Comfort: Rubber pads act as shock absorbers, reducing operator fatigue.
  • ✔Superior Traction: Specialized rubber compounds provide a “geo-grip” effect on slick pavement.
  • ✔Extended Undercarriage Life: Absorbs impact shock, reducing stress on pins, bushings, and final drives.

Featured Technology: Bridgestone Track Pads

We are proud to offer Bridgestone excavator track pads, widely regarded as the most durable solution on the market. Bridgestone has revolutionized pad technology with features designed to prevent the number one cause of failure: delamination (the rubber separating from the steel core).

Why Bridgestone leads the industry:

  • Anti-Delamination Engineering: Proprietary bonding prevents separation even under high torque.
  • Pro-Edge Design: Protects edges from cutting and chunking on curbs.
  • Cut-Resistant Compounds: Resists cuts from rebar and sharp rocks.

Choosing the Right Mounting System: Bolt-On vs. Clip-On

Not all excavators are used the same way. We offer different mounting styles to match your specific fleet requirements.

Bolt-On Track Pads

Best For: Long-term use on hard surfaces.

These pads replace the grouser shoe entirely or bolt directly through pre-drilled holes. The metal-to-metal mounting eliminates “wobble” and shifting, offering the most stable connection available.

Clip-On Track Pads

Best For: Contractors switching between dirt and pavement.

The industry standard for versatility. These attach directly over your existing steel grouser shoes. They offer rapid installation and removal in the field with minimal tools.

Installation & Maintenance for Maximum Lifespan

Installation Tips

  1. Clean the Steel Shoe: Ensure the steel grouser is completely free of dried mud and debris. Small rocks can prevent a flush fit.
  2. Use Proper Torque: Follow manufacturer specifications. Under-tightening leads to lost pads; over-tightening can snap bolts.
  3. Check After First Shift: New pads can settle. Re-torque the bolts after the first 10 hours of operation.

Operational Best Practices

  • • Minimize Pivot Turns: Aggressive counter-rotation on abrasive surfaces grinds away rubber. Make wide turns.
  • • Watch for “Curbing”: Approach obstacles head-on rather than from the side to avoid slicing the pad edges.
  • • Inspect Regularly: Replace pads individually if deep cuts expose the steel core to prevent rust and de-bonding.
