CAT 095-4023 RETAINER

CAT 095-4023 (0954023) is a track shoe retainer for the Caterpillar 400GT tracked chassis. It is compatible with heavy-duty equipment such as 349/352/374 excavators and 982/988 loaders. Installed at the connection between the track link and the track shoe, its core function is to lock the track shoe in place, preventing it from loosening, shifting, or falling off under heavy loads and impact conditions. This ensures the stable operation of the tracked running system and is a critical fastener for the tracked chassis.

Compatible Models CAT 349, 352, 374 excavators, 982, 988 For loaders and other applications, this product is compatible with the 400GT tracked chassis and includes chassis components such as 095-2943 track shoes, 095-3812 track links, and 095-3609 oil seals/retaining rings.

Functional Positioning: Locks the track shoes to prevent loosening, shifting, or detachment; positions the track shoes laterally to reduce impact wear between the track shoes and track links, extending the service life of the track system.

Compatibility and Application:
Compatible Locations: The connection point between the track shoes and track links. Secured with bolts, the track shoes are locked to prevent loosening, shifting, or detachment during travel, turning, and heavy-duty operations.

Application Scenarios: Suitable for heavy-duty conditions in mining, infrastructure, and other applications. It withstands lateral impact loads on the tracks, ensuring the stability of the track system during high-speed travel, turning, and heavy-duty operations, preventing equipment failure and safety accidents caused by track shoe detachment.

Core Functions: Locks track shoes to prevent loosening, shifting, or detachment; positions track shoes laterally to reduce impact wear between track shoes and chain links, extending track system lifespan and reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Installation and Maintenance Points

Installation: Clean the connection surfaces of the retainer and track shoes/linkage rods, 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 shifting or jamming.

Maintenance Cycle: Check for retainer 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 cannot effectively lock the track shoes; prioritize original parts to avoid track shoe detachment, misalignment, and other malfunctions due to dimensional deviations or insufficient material strength.
