CAT 095-3416 RETAINER

CAT 095-3416 (0953416) is a track retainer for the Caterpillar 400GT tracked chassis, compatible with heavy-duty equipment such as 349/352/374 excavators and 982/988 loaders. It locks the track pads and track links in lateral position, preventing track pad misalignment/detachment. It is a key fastener for the track system’s anti-detachment and positioning, ensuring chassis stability and safety under heavy load/steering conditions (Cat® Parts).

Compatible Models CAT 349, 352, 374 excavators, 982, 988 For loaders and other applications, this product is compatible with the 400GT tracked chassis and uses chassis components such as 095-2943 track shoes and 095-2963 track plates.

Functional Positioning: Locks the lateral position of the track shoes to prevent lateral displacement/detachment; transmits lateral loads to the tracks, protects track links, track rollers, and guide rollers, and ensures stable operation of the track system.

Compatibility and Application:
Compatible Location: Side of track links, installed at the connection between the track shoe and the link, secured with bolts to lock the lateral freedom of the track shoes, 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 the tracks (commonly 5-10 tons), ensuring the stability of the track system during high-speed travel, turning, and heavy-duty operations, and preventing track shoe detachment that could lead to equipment failure and safety accidents.

Core Functions: Locks the track shoes in lateral position to prevent lateral displacement/falling off; transmits lateral loads to 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 lateral clearance between the retainer and the track shoes to ensure there is no track shoe misalignment or jamming.

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

Replacement Standard: Replace the retainer if it shows cracks, deformation, worn/deformed bolt holes, or if wear on the positioning groove causes track shoe misalignment; prioritize original parts to avoid track shoe detachment, misalignment, and other malfunctions caused by dimensional deviations/insufficient material strength.
