Why Do Track Shoes Need to Be Weighed After Production?
Aug 22,2025
In crawler crane undercarriage manufacturing, weighing each track shoe after production is not just a routine step — it is an essential part of quality control.
Here are the main reasons why weighing matters:
1. Quality Control
Each track shoe must match the design weight standard. Overweight or underweight parts may indicate casting or forging defects such as porosity, shrinkage, or uneven density. Consistent weight ensures structural integrity.
2. Precision and Balance
Crawler cranes rely on accurate weight distribution. If track shoes vary too much in weight, the left and right tracks will not share the load evenly. This imbalance can affect movement, turning performance, and overall stability.
3. Strength and Service Life
A lighter-than-standard shoe may lack sufficient material thickness, making it more prone to cracking or wearing out quickly under heavy loads. Overweight shoes, on the other hand, can cause assembly issues or stress concentration, reducing service life.
4. Customer Confidence
Most clients, especially in overseas markets, require weight inspection reports as part of the final delivery. Controlled weight differences within the same batch ensure consistency, reliability, and trust in the product.
In short, weighing is the final "health check" of a crawler crane track shoe. It guarantees that every component leaving the factory meets design standards, supports stable crane operation, and delivers long-term durability.
