CAT 095-2943 SHOE 400GT

Complete technical, procurement, and maintenance information for CAT 095-2943 (0952943) 400GT track shoes (based on Caterpillar’s original system definition, 400GT represents track shoes adapted to 400mm track width, General Track/General Heavy Duty conditions, and are core wear parts of the chassis running system).

Core Parameter Table

Item Details
Part Model CAT 095-2943 (SHOE, 400GT)

Type Steel single/double tooth track shoe (400GT universal heavy-duty series), with bolt holes and track link matching interface, for steel tracked chassis of excavators/track loaders

Material High wear-resistant alloy structural steel (such as Mn-B series), integral quenching + tempering, surface hardness HRC52-58; optional wear-resistant weld overlay/track shoe rubber block, impact-resistant and abrasive wear-resistant; anti-corrosion coating (primer + Caterpillar yellow topcoat)

Dimensions and Weight Compatible with 400mm track pitch/width, single piece weight varies slightly depending on the model (commonly about 20–25 kg), bolt hole spacing, thickness, and tooth height conform to Caterpillar 400GT chassis standards; 4–6 mounting holes, with dedicated track bolts/nuts

Compatible Models Mainly compatible Medium and large excavators such as the 349, 352, and 374, and heavy-duty loaders such as the 982 and 988; used in general working conditions such as mining and infrastructure construction; the 400GT series balances traction and ground adaptability.

Functional Positioning: Transmits driving force, bears weight, and provides ground traction; protects track links and track rollers, reducing wear and slippage on soft/hard ground.

Application Scenarios and Accessories:

Working Conditions: GT in 400GT stands for General Track, suitable for general heavy-duty work (earthwork, gravel, non-extreme rock); for harder rock conditions, it can be upgraded to HR (Heavy Rock) track shoes; rubber track pads can be added for wet conditions.

Accessories: Must be compatible with track links, track pins, track bolts (e.g., 107-0898), nuts, and track shoe wear blocks of the same specification; installed on the track rails of the track frame, each track consists of dozens of pieces connected in series;

Location: The ground contact part of the track traveling mechanism, directly in contact with the ground, bearing the weight of the entire machine. + Operational impact load.

Installation and Maintenance Points

Installation: Clean the contact surfaces of the track links and track shoes. Tighten the bolts to the Caterpillar’s recommended torque using a torque wrench (to prevent loosening and falling off); check track tension, and test drive the track under no-load after installation to confirm there are no abnormal noises or deviation;

Maintenance Cycle: Check bolt torque, track shoe wear, and for cracks/deformation every 250 hours; for mining conditions, it is recommended to shorten this to 100 hours;

Replacement Standard: When the tooth height wears to 30% of the original height, through cracks appear, or bolt holes are deformed and cannot be tightened, the track links/track rollers must be replaced in pairs/on the entire side; use original parts first to avoid dimensional deviations that cause abnormal wear of track links and track rollers.
