What Are Hybrid Tracks (Roadliner Pads) and When Should You Use Them?
What Are Hybrid Tracks (Roadliner Pads) and When Should You Use Them?
The Operator's Dilemma
Imagine this scenario: your excavator needs to work in heavy, rocky terrain, but to get there, it must cross newly laid asphalt or pavement. Steel tracks will provide traction in the rough but will destroy the surface. Rubber tracks will protect the ground but might get damaged at the job site. Is there a perfect compromise? Yes, and it's called hybrid tracks, or "roadliner" rubber pads.
What Are Hybrid Tracks?
A hybrid track is not a single, integrated product. It is a system that consists of two elements:
- A standard steel track chain with track shoes (pads).
- Special rubber pads that are bolted directly onto each steel track shoe.
Such a pad is constructed from a durable rubber compound vulcanized to a steel base, which has mounting holes. This gives you the best of both worlds: the powerful and durable structure of a steel track chain combined with a rubber contact surface that is safe for delicate surfaces.
Pros and Cons of Rubber Pads
Advantages:
- Versatility: This is the biggest plus. One machine can work in a quarry on Monday and then move around a city center on Tuesday without issue.
- Surface Protection: They allow heavy machines to operate on asphalt, concrete, or paving stones without causing damage.
- Noise and Vibration Reduction: Operation is much quieter and more comfortable for the operator compared to bare steel tracks.
- Modularity: If one pad is damaged, you only need to replace that single pad, not the entire expensive track.
Disadvantages:
- Higher Initial Cost: A set of steel chains and a full set of bolt-on pads is generally more expensive than a standard set of rubber tracks.
- Time-Consuming Installation: Bolting on or off dozens or hundreds of pads takes time and labor.
- Less Durable Than Solid Rubber: During intense twisting and turning on hard surfaces, the rubber can "delaminate" or tear away from the steel base.
Primary Applications
Rubber pads are the ideal solution for machines working in variable conditions, especially in urban environments.
- Excavators in road work: Performing excavations in roadways, municipal works, and sidewalk construction.
- Asphalt pavers and milling machines: These heavy machines must move on new asphalt without damaging it. Pads are essential equipment for them.
- Crawler cranes: They allow them to operate on construction sites with finished infrastructure.
Wondering if rubber pads are the right solution for your machine?
They are an excellent choice if you value versatility. Remember that the foundation of the system is always a solid steel chain. We offer both complete chains and compatible rubber pads from proven manufacturers like KERTRACK. Contact us, and we will help you choose the optimal solution!
