CAT 096-2730 SHOE

Part Model: CAT 096-2730 (0962730), Heavy-Duty Reinforced Track Plate (Optimized for 760GT Track Chassis, differing from 096-2170 in tooth profile and wear layer distribution)

Structural Type: Integral boron steel track plate, 760 standard width + optimized high-grip teeth, double bolt holes + positioning stops, densely reinforced plate body, thickened hardened wear-resistant edge band, no rubber shock-absorbing pads (pure steel heavy-duty design)

Material: Boron alloy steel (B410Nb, Caterpillar mining-grade track plate standard material); integral hardening + medium-temperature tempering; surface Caterpillar yellow epoxy primer + Dacromet composite coating; hardness HRC50–54, wear layer depth ≥6mm, bending strength ≥1400MPa, withstands operating temperatures from -40℃ to 120℃

Key Dimensions (Nominal, Pair Replacement Standard): Width 760 mm, Track Pitch 216 mm; Plate thickness 52 mm (2 mm thicker than 096-2170); Grip tooth height 40 mm (2 mm high), tooth pitch 108 mm; Bolt specification M30×2, hole spacing 180 mm, positioning stop depth 3 mm, clearance with chain link ≤0.2 mm
Compatible models: CAT 349, 352, 374, 395 hydraulic excavators; 982, 988 large loaders (only for 760GT tracked chassis configuration, must be fully matched with 096-0676 bushing, 096-1175 spacer ring, 096-1861/1823/1558 retainer, 096-2360 ball bearing, 096-0232 track bolts; direct interchange with non-760GT chassis is strictly prohibited)
Single piece weight: Approximately 85 kg (compared to 096-2170) (Approximately 3 kg weight increase; replaceable in pairs; priority given to purchasing and installing tracks from the same batch on each side.)
Basic Rated Load/Life: Single track rated load ≥ 25 tons; in hard rock mining conditions, wear life at 50% tooth height is 45%+ longer than standard track plates; impact resistance ≥ 100,000 cycles (no penetrating cracks in the plate).

Compatibility and Application Scenarios:
Installation Location: Outside the track link, secured with 2 M30×2 high-strength track bolts + lock nuts; positioning stop is embedded in the track link groove; incorrect installation, omission of the stop washer, or substitution with ordinary bolts are strictly prohibited. Often used in conjunction with the 096-1861 retainer to bear the positioning of the track pin end and the impact load of travel.

Operating Conditions: Specifically designed for mining stripping, hard rock crushing, and heavy-duty slope operations in large-scale infrastructure projects; a 760mm wide ground contact width reduces ground pressure, and optimized tooth profile enhances climbing traction; a thickened wear-resistant layer significantly inhibits abrasive wear, suitable for dry/wet crushed stone, granite, and basalt conditions.

Component List: 096-0676 Bushing, 096-1175 Spacer Ring, 096-1861/096-1823 Fixture, 096-2360 Ball Bearing, 096-0232 Track Bolts/Nuts, Track Pins, Track Links; When replacing track shoes, the ovality of track pins, link deformation, tension cylinder seals, and the condition of track rollers/support rollers must be checked simultaneously.
