Double/Triple Grouser: this type of shoe provides lower traction due to low grousers. Operates efficiently on soft ground and during cargo handling in ships. Low in turning resistance, high in maneuverability.

What are grousers on a tank?

Grousers are devices intended to increase the traction of continuous tracks, especially in loose material such as soil or snow. On tanks and armoured vehicles, grousers are usually pads attached to the tracks; but on construction vehicles they may take the form of flat plates or bars.

A grouser is the tread part of a steel track shoe. The height of the grouser should be measured using a depth gauge from the top of the grouser to the upper side of the base of the shoe.

What makes a dozer LGP?

Why do excavator tracks come off?

When turning, the tracks may crack and pop or come off if the machine is on a slope. If the tracks are too tight, the excavator loses track power and extra wear occurs. “It is better to have tracks too loose than too tight,” Boyle says.

What is the advantage of a high track bulldozer?

High tracks will outlast standard allmost double the hrs. The big advantage with high drives is that the DRIVE is up high where it’s not exposed to getting pounded to death by rocks and stumps. You’ve just got one solit track frame with an idler to take the beating.

Why do CAT dozers have high tracks?

By separating the drive sprockets from the track roller frame and elevating them above the tracks, more track remained on the ground for improved traction. The elevated sprocket design was also better able to absorb ground shocks for longer life and greater operator comfort.

What is a grouser bar on an excavator?

GROUSER BAR Grouser Bar is a type of steel bar used to restore the tread on dozers, excavators, and other tracked vehicles. A worn track shoe can be regrousered up to four times, greatly extending the life of the shoe. A new grouser bar from Dura-Tuff can also add height (up to 110% of the original) for added traction and increased wear life.

How do I determine the compatible profile size for my grouser?

The measurements you took of the worn grouser in Step 1, and the total desired height will be used to determine the compatible profile size, as shown in the illustration below. You can click on the profile chart thumbnails to match the correct profile size to your track shoe measurements.
