Steel Undercarriage Parts

Regularly inspecting your undercarriage is a standard part of the routine maintenance of your heavy machinery. Before starting any inspection, it’s a good idea to thoroughly clean the undercarriage of dirt and debris, allowing you to get a clear view of your machine’s undercarriage parts and components. After the area is clean, inspect the track frame for any signs of cracks, bends, or other damage. Then, you should check the rubber tracks, rollers, sprockets, pins, and idlers for wear and damage. Finally, confirm that the track tension falls within the manufacturer’s recommended range.

An undercarriage is typically made from high-strength steel, with certain components incorporating materials such as rubber to suit specific performance needs. Some parts may also feature protective zinc or galvanized coatings to reduce corrosion and rust.

An undercarriage, the supporting framework of a vehicle or heavy machine, is made up of several key components. The undercarriage components of a skid steer can vary by brand and model, but most systems include parts such as track shoes, rollers, idlers, sprockets, the track frame, track tensioner, and track chains.
