Introduction to Undercarriage Parts

Sealed Track

Sealed track was developed to help reduce undercarriage wear and to lengthen component life by eliminating abrasives between pins and bushings. This design was a major step toward developing Sealed and Lubricated Track.

works best with machines where travel is not a priority.
low-cost alternative to Sealed and Lubricated Track.

Sealed and Lubricated Track

Sealed and Lubricated Track, a proven design and an industry standard, is a universal track option.

Heavy Duty Sealed and Lubricated Track

Heavy Duty Sealed and Lubricated Track is specifically designed to increase pin and bushing retention, incorporating greater pin-to-link and bushing-to-link contact areas. Additional link wear material increases system wear life.

works best in moderate to high-impact conditions.
is ideal for logging/reforestation, side-sloping work, rocky conditions, and any uneven terrain.

Quad- and Tri-link Track

Quad- and Tri-link Track dramatically improve undercarriage strength with additional outrigger chains (1/2 chains - two for Quad and one for Tri) bolted near the end of each track shoe. These durable designs distribute peak loads more evenly, reduce dry joints, and improve reliability. The result is longer track life and reduced costs.

work best in the most severe high-impact conditions.
are ideal for logging (skidding), stumping, work in rocky terrains, or any application where shoe deflection is high.

Positive Pin Retention Track

Positive Pin Retention Track features an exclusive Cat design that resists link end play, increases sealability, and maximizes track life. Works best in high-impact and high-load applications.

Rotating Bushing Track

Rotating Bushing Track is a sealed and lubricated track that allows the bushings to rotate as they are driven by the sprocket, reducing bushing wear. This design eliminates bushing turn maintenance expense and sprocket replacement costs.

works best in moderate to high-abrasion areas and low to moderate impact conditions - where system wear life with Sealed and Lubricated Track is 4,000 hours or less.

is ideal for work in sandy, abrasive materials.

Test after test conducted by an independent laboratory has proven Cat undercarriage components exceed all others for consistent steel quality, surface hardness, hardened depth, and other performance factors. As a result, no other manufacturer can deliver the extended wear life, serviceability and value of cat undercarriage.
