Choice of Undercarriage Configurations to Meet Your Application
Track frames are available in extra long (XL) or low ground pressure (LGP) configurations:
XL undercarriage for most applications where flotation and side stability are not extreme
LGP undercarriage for soft underfoot conditions where additional flotation is required
762 mm (30 in) LGP undercarriage available for extremely soft underfoot conditions
Track Selections
Caterpillar offers a choice of two undercarriages – Sealed and Lubricated Track (SALT) and SystemOne™. Matching the correct undercarriage to the application and soil conditions will deliver the lowest costs per hour.
Sealed and Lubricated Track (SALT) Undercarriage
– For applications where the track is not bushing limited
– May require pin and bushing turn
SystemOne™ Undercarriage
– For applications where track is bushing limited
– Bushing rotates continuously
– Does not require bushing turn
– Designed to maximize the life of all undercarriage components
