How to correctly choose the width of the track shoe of the bulldozer?

  bulldozer crawler shoes are generally divided into two types, dry type and wet type. The general paint color of bulldozer track shoes is yellow, with single reinforcement. The excavator board is generally three-reinforced and the paint color is black. The material of the track shoe is generally 25MnB, and the final heat treatment hardness of the material is HB364-444.


How to correctly choose the width of the track shoe of the bulldozer?


  The width of the track shoe of the standard crawler bulldozer is generally 510mm or 560mm or 610mm or 660mm, and the width of the track shoe of the wetland bulldozer is 950mm or 1100mm.


  When purchasing a bulldozer crawler, it is necessary to reasonably assemble the crawler shoes according to the operating environment and working conditions. Different crawler shoes have a great impact on the production efficiency of the bulldozer and the service life of the chassis system. When working in wetlands and swamps, choose Widened track shoe (commonly known as wet floor) When the width of the track shoe increases, the buoyancy of the track shoe increases, which can adapt to more working conditions; but the maneuverability of bulldozing decreases, and the track shoe and other bottom plates have other zeros. The structural life of components will also decrease. Moreover, the wider the track shoe, the greater the friction with the ground, the greater the power loss during driving, and the higher the fuel consumption of the bulldozer.


  Another basic principle when choosing track shoes is: the narrower the track shoes the better when the bulldozer is working to ensure that the vehicle does not get stuck. The lower the relative fuel consumption, the higher the efficiency. Therefore, when choosing track shoes, everyone should consider factors such as ground conditions, application conditions and chassis parts wear life.
