Measurements to confirm
- Overall steel track-shoe width
- Grouser height, thickness and edge profile
- Clearance around the shoe for the clip hardware
- Excavator make, model and approximate operating weight
CLIP-ON TRACK PAD GUIDE
Clip-on rubber track pads attach around a compatible steel track shoe without relying on a conventional through-bolt hole pattern. They are often chosen for excavators that need a removable polyurethane contact surface for work on asphalt, concrete, paving and other finished areas.
VectorMax supplies standard clip-on and single-side clip-on configurations in widths from 380mm to 800mm. The correct pad depends on the track-shoe width, grouser profile and available clamping space. Machine make and model help narrow the options, but physical measurements are still required before fitment can be confirmed.
The best configuration depends on the shape of the steel shoe and the available mounting clearance. Standard clip-on pads grip the shoe using the specified clip arrangement, while single-side designs suit certain shoes where access or profile differs on one edge. Our team can compare photographs and measurements with the product drawings.
Polyurethane clip-on pads help limit direct steel contact with sensitive surfaces and can reduce vibration and operating noise on hard ground. Inspect clips and fasteners regularly, especially after the first operating period. Replace loose, damaged or heavily worn pads promptly. Service life varies with machine weight, surface, travel behaviour, installation and maintenance.
Use our track pad measurement guide before ordering. If your track shoes already have a compatible mounting-hole pattern, also compare our bolt-on rubber track pads.
No. The clip must match the shoe width, grouser profile and available clearance. Measurements and photographs are required for confirmation.
Yes. This collection includes both standard clip-on and single-side clip-on products so you can compare the available mounting styles.
Yes, when installed correctly they can be removed for inspection or replacement. Always follow the specified hardware and tightening procedure.
