CAT 093-6960 SHOE 500GT

CAT 093-6960 is a Caterpillar original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standard double-tooth track shoe for the 500GT model. It belongs to the 190mm pitch, 500mm width series and is specifically designed for the 500GT small tracked equipment. Suitable for low-to-medium impact applications such as earthmoving and municipal work, it balances steering agility and track link protection. It is in the same series as 093-1932/1933/1936/1937/1938/1954, with highly compatible core specifications.

Item Details
Part Model: CAT 093-6960 (0936960) Double Grouser Track Shoe (Compatible with 500GT)

Material and Manufacturing Process: Rolled boron alloy steel + overall heat treatment, hardness HB380–420, hardened layer ≥8mm; CAT yellow primer + wear-resistant coating, salt spray ≥480h

Structure Specifications: Double Grouser, standard hole positions, non-self-cleaning/non-offset; compatible with 190mm pitch, 500mm track shoe width; comes with 2 sets of track bolts and nuts (recommended 9W-3361/6Y-0846)

Single Weight: Approx. 25.9 kg (57.1 lbs)

Rated Operating Conditions: Moderate impact, non-abrasive environment; check wear/bolt torque every 500 hours

Compatible Models: Compatible with CAT 500GT This small tracked equipment is also compatible with small excavators such as the E70B, 307, and 312, as well as D4 and D5 series bulldozers. Final verification is based on both the chassis serial number and the mounting hole spacing.

Installation Parameters: Bolt specifications 1/2″-20 UNF, installation torque 380–420 N・m, tightened in two crisscrossing stages.

Compatibility and Application Highlights:

Functional Positioning: The dual-tooth design results in low steering resistance, suitable for the 500GT in frequent turning scenarios such as municipal engineering and pipeline construction. It provides stable ground support and traction, effectively protecting the track links.

Matching Specifications: Replace track plates in pairs from the same batch; do not mix plates of different materials/thicknesses. Tighten bolts in two crisscrossing stages at 380–420 N・m, and recheck the torque after warming up the machine to prevent loosening.

Replacement Standards: Tooth wear > 40%, plate cracks, hole deformation / Replace track plates immediately if they are stripped or the hardened layer has peeled off; do not weld cracked plates for repair.

Installation and Maintenance Procedure: Stop the machine on a level, hard surface. Support the machine body, loosen the track tension cylinder, and remove the old track plates.

Clean the mounting surfaces of the track links and the bolt holes of the new plates, removing rust and oil.

Tighten the bolts twice in a crisscross pattern using a torque wrench (initially 70% torque, final tightening 100%).

Restore track tension, drive the machine unloaded for 10 minutes, and then recheck the torque.

Maintenance Cycle: 500 hours under standard operating conditions; 300 hours under high dust/humid conditions. Inspect tooth surface wear, plate cracks, and bolt anti-loosening marks.
