Pick the Best Cat® Compact Track Loader Rubber Tracks
Estimated read time: 2 minutes
Cat® compact track loaders excel in stability, traction and flotation thanks to their rubber track options. Caterpillar offers three types of rubber tracks to support your machine as it works. Below is a guide to help you choose the best rubber track for compact track loaders.
Check out this video about Cat compact track loader rubber track options, and then keep scrolling for the details.
Cat Heavy Duty Bar
Best for: traction and low ground disturbance
Ideal applications: snow, soft underfoot conditions, finish-grade work, hard surfaces and dirt
Why choose: The bar-style tread provides extra traction compared to block treads, making it ideal for sensitive terrain where ground disturbance needs to be minimized.
Cat Heavy Duty Block
Best for: rugged, high-hour operations
Ideal applications: gravel, hard surfaces, dirt and unfinished terrain
Why choose: This all-purpose track is designed to handle high impact and high abrasion. It’s perfect for tough environments and extended use, offering durability in challenging applications.
Cat General Duty Zig-Zag
Best for: medium- to low-impact work on a budget
Ideal applications: snow, side slopes and moderate terrain
Why choose: The zig-zag tread provides aggressive traction, especially on snow and sloped surfaces. This track is designed for cost-conscious customers and low-hour operations.
Choosing the Right Track
Matching the correct track type to your machine’s application can improve productivity and efficiency while prolonging track life. Consider your machine’s typical terrain and workload when selecting between Heavy Duty Bar, Block or General Duty tracks.
