Undercarriage Spare Parts

Undercarriage Spare Parts

Undercarriage spare parts are essential for the proper functioning of tracked heavy equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, and crawler cranes. These parts are responsible for supporting the weight of the machine, ensuring stability, and enabling smooth movement on various terrains. Here at Hickmah Auto Spares we ensure that all these spare parts are available for our clients. Below are some of the parts we have in the store and at the shops located in Mengo Kisenyi in kampala and Kigali. Here’s a detailed list of undercarriage spare parts for heavy equipment:

  1. Tracks
  • Tracks are the continuous belts of metal or rubber that wrap around the undercarriage, providing traction and distributing the weight of the machine over a larger surface area.
  • Examples: Steel tracks, rubber tracks (for lighter equipment), and track pads.
  1. Track Shoes
  • Track shoes are the individual metal or rubber components that make up the track system. They provide traction and help the machine grip the surface it is moving on.
  • Examples: Bolt-on track shoes, clip-on track shoes, and non-grouser track shoes.
  1. Sprockets
  • Sprockets are toothed wheels that engage with the track and drive its movement. They are key components in transferring the engine power to the tracks.
  • Examples: Drive sprockets and idler sprockets.
  1. Rollers
  • Rollers are cylindrical components that support the weight of the tracks and reduce friction between the track and the undercarriage frame.
  • Examples: Top rollers (also called carrier rollers) and bottom rollers (track rollers).
  1. Idlers
  • Idlers are located at the front or rear of the track assembly. They help maintain proper tension on the track and ensure smooth movement by guiding the tracks.
  • Examples: Front idlers and rear idlers.
  1. Track Tensioners
  • Track tensioners adjust the tension of the tracks, ensuring they remain tight and operate smoothly. Proper tension is crucial for preventing track slippage or excessive wear.
  • Examples: Hydraulic tensioners and spring-loaded tensioners.
  1. Track Adjusters
  • Track adjusters are responsible for maintaining the correct tension on the tracks and compensating for wear over time.
  • Examples: Manual adjusters and hydraulic track adjusters.
  1. Track Chains
  • Track chains are the internal metal components that connect the track shoes and allow the track to function as a continuous loop.
  • Examples: Inner track chains, link chains, and chain links.
  1. Track Pin and Bushing
  • Track pins and bushings are components that connect the track shoes and track chains, allowing the track system to bend as it moves around the undercarriage.
  • Examples: Track pins, track bushings, and wear-resistant pins.
  1. Track Frame
  • The track frame is the structural support that houses all of the undercarriage components, including rollers, sprockets, and idlers. It is designed to bear the weight of the entire machine.
  • Examples: Rear and front track frames.
  1. Carrier Rollers
  • Carrier rollers support the upper portion of the tracks as the machine moves, helping to distribute weight evenly and reduce friction.
  • Examples: Single carrier rollers and double carrier rollers.
  1. Track Links
  • Track links are part of the track chain assembly, connecting the track shoes to the chain. They are made from strong, wear-resistant materials and help in the overall movement of the track system.
  • Examples: Outer track links, inner track links.
  1. Track Guards
  • Track guards prevent debris, dirt, and rocks from damaging the track system. They protect the sprockets, rollers, and other components from foreign objects.
  • Examples: Side shields and track frame guards.
  1. Track Pads
  • Track pads are placed over the metal tracks to provide better traction and reduce wear, especially on softer surfaces or for machines that need to avoid damaging the ground (like in urban environments or for road use).
  • Examples: Rubber track pads, steel track pads.
  1. Link Assembly
  • Link assemblies connect the various parts of the undercarriage track and work in tandem with track chains and pins.
  • Examples: Full link assemblies and half link assemblies.
  1. End Bits
  • End bits are mounted at the ends of the tracks to protect the track chains and reduce wear. They can be found at both the front and rear sections of the undercarriage.
  • Examples: Front and rear end bits.
  1. Track Tensioning Cylinder
  • The track tensioning cylinder applies hydraulic pressure to adjust the tension of the track and ensure smooth operation.
  • Examples: Hydraulic cylinders for tensioning.
  1. Bogie Wheels
  • These wheels are located under the track and support the track system. They are found in some equipment designs to further distribute weight and reduce wear.
  • Examples: Single and double bogie wheels.
  1. Suspension Springs
  • Suspension springs are sometimes used to absorb shock and vibration, ensuring smoother operation and reducing strain on other undercarriage parts.
  • Examples: Coil suspension springs and leaf springs.
