Undercarriage
To help you take full advantage of the long life built into your Cat undercarriage system, we offer Custom Track Service (CTS), a comprehensive program for managing your undercarriage system. It helps you project remaining wear life, schedule maintenance, and identify potential problems.
THE RIGHT CAT EXCAVATOR UNDERCARRIAGE PARTS FOR YOUR NEEDS
Every Cat excavator undercarriage is designed by Caterpillar engineers and built to exact specifications based on our customers' real-world experience. So, when you choose a Cat excavator undercarriage, you know it’s not just the right choice, it’s the best choice.
To help decide which Cat undercarriage is the right fit for your work and your machine, ask these questions:
- How long will I own this machine?
- How many hours a week will I be using this machine?
- What are my typical ground/soil conditions?
- What are my impact conditions?
- What attachments are on my hydraulic excavator?
- What are the grades/slopes on my job site?
Precisely defining these parameters will help lead you to the best undercarriage choice for your needs.

UNDERCARRIAGE REPAIR OPTIONS
Undercarriage can amount to as much as 50% of owning and operating costs. Managing and maintaining undercarriage systems and components extends wear life and lowers overall operating costs.
Cat Undercarriage & Tracks: Lower your cost per hour
Many competitive links and track rollers have varying hardness, which often leads to unpredictable wear rates, service points, and destruction points. The result is an unbalanced system that increases your downtime and costs.
The hardness of Cat links and track rollers is matched, so they work and wear together at a predictable rate. Cat's balanced link and track roller system reduces your downtime and lowers your cost per hour.
CUSTOM TRACK SERVICE (CTS)
A poorly managed undercarriage can account for more than half of your machine’s maintenance costs. Why risk it? Maximize your undercarriage life and reduce downtime with CTS Pro. We use the latest technology to monitor undercarriage performance and predict wear rates, allowing you to make informed decisions about maintenance, avoid unexpected issues and lower your total costs.
Move More In Less Time
Every construction site presents unique challenges. Machines with Cat® undercarriage have proven they can take on those challenges — moving more material at a lower cost.
