PowerTrack FAQ Rubber track sizes and compatibility

Faqs By Rubber track sizes and compatibility

How to correctly read rubber track measurements?

The measurements consist of three values: track width (mm), pitch (mm) and number of links (#).

The order of the "numbers" may vary (e.g. 230x96x31 or 230x31x96) depending on the manufacturer, but from a technical point of view the track remains the same, there are no differences.

The three reference measurements are printed inside the track.

If they cannot be identified, they can be measured manually on the track to be replaced.

You will find all the details on how to proceed on our Technical Support page

Once you have gathered this information, you can enter the measurement in our free text search engine or in the advanced search engine, which you will find available on the PowerTrack Tracks page

What do the letters in the measurements mean (K, W, N, B, Y, T)?

These letters refer to a specific application indicating the type of guide system:

  • N = "narrow" = RUBBER TRACKS WITH NARROW GUIDE
  • W = "wide" = RUBBER TRACKS WITH WIDE GUIDE
  • K = RUBBER TRACKS WITH EXTERNAL GUIDE REINFORCEMENT PLATES
  • Y = RUBBER TRACKS WITH ASYMMETRIC GUIDE
  • B = RUBBER TRACKS WITH EXTERNAL GUIDE (mainly intended for tracked mini loaders)
  • T = RUBBER TRACKS WITH INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL GUIDE (mainly intended for Takeuchi tracked mini loaders)

In what order are the measurements written?

The 'numbers' with which we identify rubber tracks are actually the measurements of our tracks themselves and these three measurements can be written in different order.

For example tracks 230x96x31 and 230x31x96 are absolutely identical, they are simply called differently by different manufacturers.

Technically there are no differences, PowerTrack rubber tracks are standard and fit all standard tracked construction equipment.

Can steel tracks be replaced with rubber ones?

Yes, but compatibility varies depending on the equipment. Sometimes it is also necessary to change the undercarriage.

Contact the manufacturer of your tracked construction equipment to obtain clear and reliable information regarding the switch from steel tracks to rubber tracks.
