Kobelco BM800 Track Shoes Replacement

Mar 05,2026

Crawler cranes are widely used in infrastructure construction, heavy lifting projects, and industrial installations. Due to their continuous operation on rough terrain and under heavy loads, the undercarriage parts of crawler cranes experience constant wear. The track shoes play a crucial role in maintaining the crawler crane's stability and ground traction.

Kobelco BM800 crawler crane track shoes removed and inspected

Recently, maintenance and replacement of the track pads on a Kobelco BM800 crane were performed in Guyana. This replacement was due to wear and tear on the original track plates from long-term operation.

During the maintenance process, the track shoes of the BM800 crawler crane were removed and laid flat on the ground for inspection, as shown in the picture. Technicians carefully inspected the wear, structural integrity, and bolt positions of the track plates before installing the new ones.

This inspection step is crucial because worn or damaged track plates can affect the stability of the crawler crane, reduce traction, and increase stress on other crawler crane parts such as track links, track rollers, and sprockets.

Track shoes are responsible for evenly distributing the machine's weight across the ground while providing sufficient traction to ensure safe movement. For heavy-duty crawler cranes like the Kobelco BM800, durable track pads are crucial for maintaining operational safety during lifting operations.

High-quality track pads help ensure:

* Stable movement on uneven ground

* Increased traction during crane travel

* Reduced wear on track chains and rollers

* Extended service life of the entire chassis system
