Rubber Track Pads for Steel Tracks and Excavators

Select Rubber Track Pads by Mounting System

Rubber track pads are primarily distinguished by their mounting method. The correct solution depends on whether the existing steel track shoe is replaced, used as a mounting base, or equipped with a clamp-on system.

• Chain-on Rubber Pads: replace the steel track shoe and are mounted directly to the track chain.
• Bolt-on Rubber Pads: are bolted onto pre-drilled steel track shoes.
• Clip-on Rubber Pads: are clamped onto the steel track shoe and secured mechanically.
• Paver Rubber Pads: specialised rubber pads and roadliner systems for asphalt pavers and road construction equipment.

Which Rubber Track Pads Fit My Steel Tracks?

Pad width alone is not sufficient to identify the correct rubber pad. Track pitch, mounting system, bolt pattern, track shoe thickness and overall geometry must also be considered. Bolt-on and Paver Rubber Pads in particular require an exact match of the bolt pattern and mounting dimensions.

Key Selection Criteria

• Pad Width: matched to the steel track shoe and machine class.
• Track Pitch: the primary technical dimension used for identification.
• Mounting System: Chain-on, Bolt-on, Clip-on or Paver configuration.
• Bolt Pattern: critical for bolted rubber pad systems.
• Track Shoe Thickness: important for Clip-on Rubber Pads.
• Technical Drawings: recommended for final fitment verification before ordering.

Why Are There Multiple Rubber Pads with the Same Width and Pitch?

Rubber track pads with identical width and track pitch may still differ in bolt pattern, mounting points and overall geometry. For this reason, technical drawings and dimensional specifications should always be checked before purchasing replacement pads.

Rubber Track Pads or Rubber Tracks?

Rubber track pads are designed for machines equipped with steel track undercarriages. They are not complete rubber tracks but a surface protection solution for steel track systems. If your machine uses a full rubber track undercarriage, please refer to our Rubber Tracks category.
