Skid steer loaders, with their multi-functionality and flexibility, play a significant role in various industries, such as construction, agriculture, municipal engineering, landscaping, mining, port logistics, emergency rescue, and industrial enterprises, providing convenience for loading and handling tasks in these fields.
Loaders mainly use tires as their load-bearing and traveling devices. However, as their applications become increasingly widespread, the working environments for loaders are becoming more complex. Currently, there are common technical approaches of covering tires with tracks or directly using tracked undercarriage instead of tires to enhance the superior performance of loaders. The following aspects are where track-type loaders have more advantages:
1. Enhanced traction: Tracks provide a larger ground contact area, improving traction on soft, muddy or uneven surfaces and reducing slippage.
2. Reduced ground pressure: Tracks distribute weight over a larger area, reducing ground pressure and making them suitable for operation on soft or delicate surfaces such as grass or sand.
3. Improved stability: The track design lowers the machine's center of gravity, providing a more stable operation, especially on slopes or uneven terrain.
4. Reduced wear: Tracks are more durable than tires, especially on rough or gravel surfaces, reducing wear and extending service life.
5. Adaptability to harsh environments: Track machines perform better in extreme conditions such as ice and snow, mud or gravel, offering better control and mobility.
6. Versatility: Track skid steer loaders can be equipped with a variety of attachments to handle different tasks, such as digging or grading.
7. Reduced vibration: Tracks effectively absorb ground impacts, reducing operator fatigue and equipment vibration.
Tracks can be divided into rubber tracks and steel tracks, and the choice depends on the specific working environment and requirements of the loader. Our company has over ten years of experience in rubber and steel tracks that are covered over the outside of tires. As long as you have a need, we will provide you with a good solution to ensure your worry-free use.
