RC Rod Carriers
Available on 2CP, 3CP, 203, 375, 304 style tracks, this
tubing is used to hold the entire CATRAC
® together. They
are fastened to links with a self tapping screw that can be
removed from top or bottom rod to make installation of
hose or cable easier.
WC Welded Carriers
The carrier is widely used in very rugged applications. It
can withstand severe hydraulic shock and has no loose
parts which can be lost during installation of the hose
cable. The welded carrier bars alternate position top to
bottom on styles 203, 375 and 304. Styles 456, 606 and
808 use a box beam construction with top and bottom
beams across from each other for added strength.
RP Removable Pipe (Standard)
This assembly provides easy installation of cable and
hose. The pipe can be removed by knocking out a roll pin
and pulling it out the side of the CATRAC.
SL Spring Loaded Removable Pipe
This design provides the quickest way to install or
change cable and hose in the fi eld. Simply compress the
plunger and pull the pipe out. No screws or pins need
to be removed and no side space limitations need to be
considered.

AB Split Bar Carriers
1/2” wide aluminum or 3/4” wide wood split bar carriers
can be provided. This carrier is custom machined to your
specifi cations. Note: Holes must be at least 1/8” larger
than cable hose diameter.
VP Vertical Pins
Vertical pins, also referred to as separators or dividers,
can be welded into RP, SL and WC style carriers to
separate cables or hoses to prevent twisting or overlap.
Extra Heavy Duty (Mill-Duty) Construction
For steel mills and other heavy duty service, the double
welded carrier (MD option) is used as well as bolted
construction (BC option). This structure has the ultimate
strength for a carrier. Box beam construction is standard
in the 456, 606, and 808 styles and can withstand severe
hydraulic shock loads.
Optional & Special Carrier Designs
Special perforated carriers can be supplied which provide
openings for hose straps. The hose straps, if used,
should be very loose and used as a hose and cable
separator rather than a tie down.
Many carriers and stiffeners are designed in cooperation
with our customers. We welcome ideas to fi t your specifi c
application needs.
