What is a crawler track shoe?

Track shoe, one of the undercarriage parts of construction machinery, is a kind of wearing parts of the construction machinery used. It is commonly used in excavators, bulldozers, crawler cranes, pavers and other construction machinery.

Crawler is a track shoe assembly driven by the sprocket and surrounding the sprocket, bottom roller, idler and top roller. The track consists of track shoes and track pins. The track pins connect the track shoes together to form the track assembly. There are holes at both ends of the track shoe to engage with the sprocket, and there are induced teeth in the middle, which are used for aligning the tracks and preventing the tracks from falling off when the crawler crane is turned or tilted sideways.

How to choose good quality track plate?

The production quality of track plate is closely related to the production process and material. Reasonable production process and high quality material selection can ensure that the track plate has good wear resistance, strength and toughness. In addition, design optimisation and quality control are also important factors to ensure the quality of tracked plates.

1. Production process: good production process is the key to ensure the quality of track plate. Production process includes raw material selection, heat treatment, processing techniques, etc. Reasonable production process can ensure the uniformity, hardness, toughness and other properties of crawler shoe, reduce defects and internal stress. Reasonable production process can ensure the uniformity, hardness, toughness and other properties of crawler plate, reduce defects and internal stress, and improve the wear resistance and strength of crawler plate.

2. Material: the choice of material plays a decisive role in the quality of track plate. High quality material has high strength, good wear resistance and impact resistance. Common materials include alloy steel, high manganese steel, etc. These materials have excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance and are suitable for different working environments and load requirements.

3. Design optimisation: The design of the track plate should take into account the requirements of the use scenario, including load carrying capacity, wear resistance, impact resistance, etc.. Reasonable design can reduce stress concentration and abrasion, and improve the service life of the track plate.

4.Inspection and quality control: In the production process, strict quality control and inspection should be carried out, including chemical composition analysis, metallographic organisation inspection, ultrasonic flaw detection and so on. These tests can ensure that the quality of track plates meets the relevant standards and customer requirements.

The crawler crane track shoes we produce are made of high quality materials, including ZG35SiMn, 28CrMnMo and 28CrMnMoNi. These materials have the following characteristics:

ZG35SiMn: This is a high-strength alloy steel with excellent wear and corrosion resistance. It can be used for a long time in harsh working environments without being easily damaged, effectively extending the service life of the track shoe.

28CrMnMo: This is a kind of alloy steel with good strength and toughness. It not only has excellent wear resistance, but also can withstand high intensity shock and vibration, suitable for large-scale crawler cranes in the load and movement process requirements.

28CrMnMoNi: This is a high-strength, high-toughness alloy steel with excellent wear resistance and impact toughness. It is suitable for harsh working conditions and can withstand high intensity shock and vibration, as well as having high corrosion resistance.

The track shoes we produce undergo precision manufacturing and heat treatment processes to ensure excellent wear resistance, strength and toughness. We also design them according to the customer's needs and the crane's working environment to ensure that the track shoes can perform optimally in different scenarios.
