Steel crawler undercarriage are widely used in a variety of equipment and scenarios due to their high load-bearing capacity, durability and adaptability to complex terrain. The following are the main types of equipment that can be installed with steel crawler chassis and their typical application scenarios:
1. Construction machinery
- Excavators: When operating in complex terrains such as mines and construction sites, steel tracks provide stability and impact resistance.
- Bulldozer: Used for earthmoving and leveling the ground. The tracks can disperse the weight to reduce the pressure on soft ground.
- Loaders: Tracked undercarriage enhances traction when transporting materials in muddy or rough terrain.
- Rotary drilling rig: used for pile foundation construction, suitable for different geological conditions such as soft soil and rock.
2. Agricultural machinery
- Combine harvesters: When working in soft fields, the tracks reduce soil compaction and improve passability.
- Sugarcane harvester: designed for tall crops and rugged farmland, with enhanced stability.
- Large sprayers: for covering large areas in muddy or uneven fields.
3. Special vehicles
- Snowmobile/Swampmobile: Used for driving on low-load-bearing surfaces such as polar regions and swamps to prevent the vehicle from getting stuck.
- Firefighting robot: used in the ruins and high temperature environment of the fire scene, providing stable mobility.
- Rescue equipment: such as earthquake rescue vehicles, which perform tasks in collapsed buildings or rough terrain.
4. Mining and heavy industry equipment
- Mining dump trucks: transport ore in open-pit mines, withstand heavy loads and bumpy roads.
- Drilling platforms: perform exploration operations in remote or undeveloped areas.
- Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM): Some models are equipped with tracks to enable movement in tunnels.
5. Forestry machinery
- Feller/Skidder: Efficiently move wood in dense forests, on slopes or in slippery terrain.
- Forest fire truck: Cross obstacles such as woodlands and bushes to perform firefighting tasks.
6. Other special applications
- Port handling equipment: such as heavy-duty straddle carriers, which are required to stably carry containers.
- Aerospace transporter: Disperses pressure when transporting heavy loads such as rockets and spacecraft.
- Polar research vehicle: Conduct scientific research in glaciers and snow-covered areas.
Precautions
- Alternative solution: In scenarios where high ground protection requirements are required (such as lawns and paved roads), rubber tracks may be used to reduce damage.
- Speed limit: Steel track equipment usually has a lower speed, and a wheeled undercarriage should be selected for high-speed scenarios (such as highway driving).
The core advantages of steel track undercarriage lie in their adaptability to harsh environments and high load capacity. Therefore, the above-mentioned equipment is mostly used in fields that need to overcome terrain obstacles and withstand extreme working conditions.
