Undercarriage
Lower owning and operating costs.
Undercarriage is a significant portion of a tractor’s owning and
operating costs. Caterpillar offers two different undercarriage
choices for lowest owning and operating costs for your
application needs. A sealed and lubricated track (SALT)
undercarriage is standard; SystemOne™ undercarriage is
available as an option. Full length guarding on top of the track
roller frame prevents abrasive material from falling down on
moving parts.
Machine balance is the key to good grading performance.
Greater track length and a stable platform lead to optimum
balance, allowing you to complete jobs easier and quicker with
the D4K than with competitive machines.
SystemOne Undercarriage
With the revolutionary SystemOne undercarriage option,
undercarriage maintenance time and costs are greatly
reduced, lowering your costs and helping your bottom line.
This innovative system uses a rotating bushing design which
increases bushing life and eliminates the need for bushing turns.
The rotating bushing combined with long wear life sprockets
and center tread idler, increases the life and dependability
of the entire system. Ideal for virtually any application or
underfoot condition, the SystemOne undercarriage also features
significantly less vibration for a better, more comfortable ride.
Sealed and Lubricated Track (SALT) Undercarriage
The standard sealed and lubricated track (SALT) undercarriage
is built for long life in rugged conditions. Segmented sprockets
are easy to replace and less expensive than replacing the complete
sprocket hub.
Choice of Track Frame Configurations
Track frames are available in extra long (XL) or low ground
pressure (LGP) configurations. XL undercarriage provides
increased ground contact area and flotation, superior balance
and excellent finish grading. In addition, the LGP version also
features a wider track shoe, increasing ground contact area
for optimum flotation and stability on sloping and finish
grading jobs.
