Structure of track shoes
Feb 27, 2020
Common track shoes are divided into three types according to the shape of grounding: single rib, three rib and flat bottom. Some of them also use triangular track shoes. Single rib track shoes are mainly used for bulldozers and tractors, because the track shoes are required to have high tractive capacity when such machines work. However, this kind of track shoe is rarely used in excavators, only when the excavator is equipped with a drill frame or requires a large horizontal thrust. The higher traction force is needed when the wheel turns, so the higher walking bar (i.e. the walking bar) will squeeze the soil (or land) between the walking bars, thus affecting the mobility of the excavator.
The steel track shoes can be divided into two parts: excavator and bulldozer. These two parts are the most commonly used ones, with section steel as the raw material. Another is the bulldozer used by the wet floor, commonly known as the "triangle plate", which is a cast plate. Another kind of casting plate is used on crawler crane. The weight of the plate is less than tens of kilograms, and the weight of the plate is more than hundreds of kilograms.
