CAT 095-3034 RETAINER

CAT 095-3034 (0953034) is a track retainer for the Caterpillar 400GT tracked chassis. It is used to lock the track pads to the track links, preventing lateral displacement/detachment of the track pads. It is compatible with heavy-duty equipment such as 349/352/374 excavators and 982/988 loaders. It is a key fastener for preventing track slippage and ensuring proper positioning of the tracked chassis, guaranteeing the stable and safe operation of the running gear.

Item Details
Part Model CAT 095-3034 (0953034) Track Retainer

Type: Track lateral positioning fastener with positioning groove and bolt holes, used for lateral locking of track shoes and chain links to prevent track shoes from shifting/falling off

Material: 42CrMo alloy steel, integral forging + tempering heat treatment (hardness HRC32-38), surface anodized black / Caterpillar yellow primer, impact resistant, fatigue resistant, corrosion resistant

Dimensions and Weight: Compatible with 400GT track shoes, width (approx. 400mm), length approx. 120-150mm, width approx. 80-100mm, thickness approx. 20-25mm; single weight approx. 3-5kg, bolt hole spacing/diameter matches track chain links and track shoe mounting holes

Compatible Models: 349, 352, 374 medium and large excavators, 982, 988 Heavy-duty loaders; compatible with 400GT tracked chassis, matching chassis components such as 095-2943 track shoes, 095-2963 mounting plates, and 095-2986/095-2994 spring bases.

Functional Positioning: Locks the lateral position of the track shoes and links, preventing lateral displacement and detachment during travel/turning; transmits lateral loads to the tracks, protecting track links, track rollers, and guide rollers, ensuring stable operation of the track system.

Compatibility and Application:
Compatible Location: Side of track links, installed at the connection between the track shoe and link, secured with bolts to lock the lateral freedom of the track shoes, preventing track shoe offset and detachment, meeting the lateral positioning requirements of the 400GT track shoes.

Application Scenarios: Suitable for heavy-duty working conditions such as mining and infrastructure construction, bearing lateral impact loads on tracks (commonly 5-10 tons), ensuring the stability of the track system during high-speed travel, turning, and heavy-duty operations, and preventing track shoes from falling off and causing equipment failure and safety accidents.

Core Functions: Locks the lateral position of the track shoes to prevent lateral displacement/falling off; transmits lateral loads on the tracks, protecting track links, track rollers, and guide rollers, extending the service life of chassis components.

Installation and Maintenance Points:

Installation: Clean the connecting surfaces of the retainer, track shoes, and track links, ensuring they are free of oil and impurities; tighten bolts to the original torque (200-250 N·m, refer to the model manual); after installation, check the positioning of the retainer and the lateral clearance of the track shoes to ensure there is no track shoe misalignment or jamming.

Maintenance Cycle: Check for deformation, cracks, and bolt torque of the retainer every 250 hours; shorten to 100 hours for harsh working conditions such as mining.

Replacement criteria: If the fixing device has cracks, deformation, worn/deformed bolt holes, or if the track plate is misaligned due to wear of the positioning groove, it must be replaced; original parts are preferred to avoid track plate detachment, misalignment, and other malfunctions caused by dimensional deviations/insufficient material strength.
