Description:

• Track shoes provide flotation and traction for the machine and protection for the link assembly. Master track shoes are installed over the master track link.

Attributes:

• Double grouser track shoes have less penetration and traction than single grouser shoes, but better turning ability. Double grouser shoes are standard on track-type loaders and excavators because less turning resistance and greater maneuverability are needed.
• Trapezoidal track shoes have a trapezoidal hole cut between the bolts to provide a place to relieve extrudable type packing material.
