How do I measure my Rubber Track?

Measuring the size of the Rubber Tracks on your excavator is not as difficult as many people think!

Due the the vast range of excavators being manufactured, the range of Rubber Track sizes has also increased considerably making it very important that you choose the correct size.

We have compiled a step by step guide below including diagrams to take you through the process of measuring your Tracks to ensure you order the correct size for your excavator.

Step 1: Width - Simply measure from edge to edge on the outside of the track. This measurement is always given in millimetres. (eg. 230mm)

Step 2: Pitch - This measurement is the distance from the centre of one link to the centre of the next link on your track. This measurement is also given in millimetres. (eg. 96mm)

Step 3: Links - This measurement is simply the number of links (or lugs) in the track (eg. 31 links). A link is the metal bar that engages round the sprocket to drive the machine.

These three measurements combine together to make the Track size - in the examples above the size is 230 x 96 x 31. The track size is usually stamped into the rubber on the inside of your Rubber Tracks.

At Excavator Parts Direct we stock a full range of Rubber Tracks from 130mm wide right up to a massive 800mm wide.
