Non-Marking Rubber Tracks

FAQs

Two approaches to non-marking operation: (1) rubber tracks — replace the entire steel track with a rubber track. Lower operating noise, more comfortable ride, but slower to fit (typical 2-4 hours per side) and requires the rubber tracks as separate items. (2) Rubber pads — clip or bolt rubber pads onto existing steel-track shoes. Faster fitment (30-60 minutes for clip-on), no track replacement needed, but slightly higher noise and rougher ride than full rubber tracks. For occasional non-marking work, rubber pads are practical. For continuous non-marking operation, full rubber tracks are typical.

Clip-on rubber pads: spring-clip mechanism fits over the steel track shoe and grips the shoe edges. Fast change-over (typical 30-60 minutes per side), no track removal needed, suitable for daily change-over between rough and finished surfaces. Bolt-on rubber pads: bolted to the steel track shoe through the shoe's existing bolt holes. Higher load capacity, better resistance to walking-off in heavy use, but requires track removal to fit and remove. Bolt-on is the practical choice for permanent or semi-permanent fitment; clip-on for daily flexibility.

Rubber-pad service life depends on operating intensity and surface type. On clean concrete and finished surfaces (the use case the pads are designed for), 1,500-3,000 operating hours is typical. On grit, gravel, or rough surfaces, the softer non-marking compound wears noticeably faster — losing tread depth quickly. Operating rubber pads on rough surfaces is a common cause of premature wear; switch to steel-track or full rubber tracks for rough-surface work, and reserve rubber pads for clean-surface use.

Yes. Replacement clip-springs (the spring-clip hardware that grips the steel track shoe — wears with repeated change-overs), replacement bolt-mounting kits (for bolt-on pads, including the fastening hardware), pad-removal tools (specialist tools for unclipping seized clip-on pads), and replacement individual pads (for replacement of damaged single pads in a set) are available across the rubber-pad accessory range. Match by the pad model code, or WhatsApp 07754288583 with the equipment make for cross-reference.

Within Under Carriage, Rubber Pad covers the rubber track pads (also called rubber shoes or clip-on rubber pads) that fit over steel-track shoes on plant tracked-equipment — converting the equipment to non-marking, low-noise operation suitable for finished surfaces, indoor work, and noise-sensitive environments. Used to protect concrete, asphalt, and finished landscape paving from track damage when steel-track equipment must operate on these surfaces.

Parts for Machines supplies rubber pads across the plant aftermarket — covering pads for the major mini-excavator, compact track loader, skid-steer, and larger excavator-and-dozer ranges. Rubber pads are typically clip-on or bolt-on accessories that fit over the steel track shoes, allowing the equipment to be temporarily converted between steel-track (rough surface, earthwork) and rubber-pad operation (finished surface, indoor work).

Product pages list the equipment make and model the pads are approved for, the track-shoe size (the rubber pad must match the steel-track shoe geometry and width), the pad type (clip-on for fast change-over; bolt-on for permanent fitment requiring track removal to change), the rubber compound (typically grey or black non-marking compound — non-marking means the rubber doesn't transfer to the floor surface during normal operation), the pad thickness, the load rating, and the OEM cross-reference where applicable.

For temporary conversion of steel-track equipment to non-marking operation, clip-on rubber pads give the fastest change-over (typically 30-60 minutes per side for a mini-excavator). For permanent or semi-permanent conversion, bolt-on pads give better load-bearing capability but require track removal to fit. Always use complete sets matched to the equipment. Trade pricing on bulk and fleet orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583. Check compatibility before ordering.
