UNDERCARRIAGE
FOR DOZERS

WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCE PLUS LOW OWNING & OPERATING COSTS

 

 

The longer your undercarriage lasts, the lower your total cost of ownership. Because Cat® undercarriage is designed and manufactured by Caterpillar to specifically match your machine requirements, your Cat dealer can provide you with inspections and services that ensure every component lasts as long as possible before replacement.

 

 

 

 

Tips for monitoring health
and controlling costs

Monitoring the condition of your undercarriage components regularly gives you the information needed to predict when maintenance will be required. Custom Track Service from your dealer provides you with regular inspections and wear life documentation so that your undercarriage won’t fail unexpectedly. Here are some maintenance checks you can do yourself.

Operation Checklist

 

Proper shoe selection and smart operation will make your undercarriage work better and last longer. Here are four ways to get the most from your Cat undercarriage investment.

   

Always use the narrowest shoe possible

while still allowing for adequate flotation

   

Minimize high operating speeds

in nonproductive situations, especially in reverse

   

Alternate turning direction

since turning in only one direction wears out one side of the undercarriage faster than the other

   

Monitor track spin

which reduces production while increasing wear on all undercarriage components

   

 

 

 

 

How to clean your undercarriage

 

For heavy equipment with tracks, getting dirty is a part of the job. But to protect the life of the undercarriage, regular cleaning and maintenance will go a long way to extended wear. Caterpillar recommends to power wash on a regular basis and always promptly remove any large rocks, mud or debris that get logged between the tracks. Many operators carry a shovel for just this purpose.
