Rubber shoes and tracks are designed to improve the grip and stability of chain machines on different terrains, especially on hard and abrasive surfaces, while reducing noise and vibration. To meet the varied needs and applications, ITR offers Bolt-on and Clip-on rubber pads, as well as rubber and polyurethane shoes from Standard and Road-Liner types.
Common features of rubber shoes and pads
Although each type of rubber accessories has its own specific qualities and meets different working requirements, There are common characteristics, that make them valuable additions for all steel chains machines. First, The pads are easy to install and dismantle even on the spot, Especially versions Clip-on, which allows a quick transition from work on surfaces, Suitable for steel chains, to more delicate surfaces, requiring more protection or grip. They are made of special reinforced, durable rubber mixes, providing high strength and extended service life. Regardless of the selected attachment method or composition, Rubber pads allow users to combine the power of steel chains with the tire properties.
Advantages of using rubber pads and shoes
The use of these products provides multiple benefits. They not only allow more efficient work on smooth surfaces, but also extend the working life of the machine, Providing maximum investment returns. The main advantages include:
- Quieter and more smooth work, Improvement of the operator's comfort.
- Vibration, leading to less stress of the chassis part.
- Improved safety during work.
- Prevent damage to the hard surfaces or the steel chains of the machine.
- Improved grip on hard and smooth surfaces.
ITR rubber pads and shoes
The ITR rubber product range is suitable for standard chain vehicle applications to 40 tone and divides into four types:
- Bolt-on rubber pads.
- Clip-on rubber pads.
- Road-line rubber shoes.
- Standard rubber shoes.
Different types may be more appropriate for use depending on operating requirements, which makes the important availability of accurate information when choosing them.
Bolt-on rubber tracks
Rubber pads Bolt-on on ITR are specially designed to be mounted seamlessly on the steel chains of chain machines. They are of size, steel shoes, and have precisely located openings to provide perfect adhesion. Installation is done by threaded studs on the back of the pads, which are attached to existing openings of steel shoes.
Bolt-on pads are the most popular species, providing a balance between endurance and economy. Although their installation takes more time than clip-on pads, They are the ideal solution for semi -permanent use or for long -term operations on delicate surfaces, as well as working in limited spaces near walls or curbs.
These pads provide a stable and secure base, As the rear bolts guarantee a tight adhesion and a uniform profile. The lack of a gap between rubber pads and steel shoes minimizes uneven wear, extending the life and reliability of the chains.
Clip-on rubber swabs
Rubber pads Clip-on on ITR are specially designed for steel tracks without pre -drilled openings. They are mounted using side brackets (clips), which significantly reduces the installation time. The pads act as a softening layer between the steel shoe and the contact surface, effectively turning the machine into one with rubber chains.
The pads are precisely shaped, In order to fit perfectly to a steel profile, while remaining stable and preventing vertical and lateral movements. This design also prevents dirt accumulation between steel bashmak and the pad. Unlike bolt variants, Clip-on pads offer quick installation, while retaining the integrity of the steel chain.
Thanks to the lateral attachment mechanism, Clip-on pads are the easiest to mount and disassemble. This makes them an ideal choice for short -term use, specific applications or for quick adaptation of a steel chain to delicate surfaces without risk of damage.
Road-Liner rubber tracks
Line Road-Liner (or city pads) on ITR For excavators represents the pinnacle of technological innovation. They are designed for use on roads, equal surfaces, Workplaces and industrial warehouses, providing optimal performance and protection. Road-Liner pads are made of steel plate, wrapped with a layer of durable tire, and are usually mounted directly on tracks, replacing the fully steel tracks.
By wrapping the steel elements in a tire, Road-Liner pads effectively protect hard, Finished surfaces of damage, caused by metal chains.
These pads are the most profitable and recommended solution for surgery, in which surface protection is a top priority.
Standard rubber tracks
The ITR STANDARD Rubber Trackets with a reinforced surface offers a healthier option than Road-liners, specially designed for challenging working conditions such as unequal, unstable surfaces or terrains with debris.
Made of durable elastic materials, These tracks are molded and vulcanized directly on the standard steel tracks of machines, creating a complete and integrated solution.
The presence of a steel base provides exceptional bending resistance and heavy loads, generated by uneven terrain, by guaranteeing reliability and durability in harsh conditions.
Although steel tracks lead to higher costs compared to plates, used in Road-liners, This is justified by their superb endurance and functionality.
For specific ITR applications also offers a line of polyurethane shoes, Suitable for heavy machines with a high weight and support surface ratio, such as chain milling cutters.
