Application Scenarios: Medium to heavy-duty working conditions such as earthmoving, road construction, etc. Compatible with 800GT track assemblies, ensuring track system stability and reducing malfunctions.

Core Functions: Locks the track shoes to the track links, distributes bolt stress, prevents loosening and detachment, extends the service life of track shoes and track links, and improves walking safety and efficiency.

Installation and Maintenance Points

Installation: Clean the retainers, bolts, nuts, and mounting surfaces, checking for deformation and cracks; tighten with a torque wrench to 280-320 N·m, ensuring a tight fit without gaps and appropriate track tension (80-100 mm sag).

Maintenance: Check the tightness every 50-100 hours, looking for deformation and cracks. Retighten if torque is insufficient; replace if deformation, cracks, or severe coating peeling occurs.

Replacement: When replacing track shoes, check them simultaneously, prioritizing original parts, ensuring size and material matching, and test the movement after installation to ensure there is no deviation or abnormal noise.
