Look twice and save every time with Cat Undercarriage
At first glance, other manufacturers’ undercarriages seem like a good deal. But
in the areas that matter most — engineering, quality manufacturing, durability,
performance, service and lower cost per hour — Cat Undercarriage is always
your best value. Stay on the right track and stay ahead with the only track
specifically designed for your machine.

Cat Undercarriage was, is and always will be the best

in the industry
Some things never change. Like the consistent quality, performance and
value of Cat Undercarriage. Ever since the first successful track-type tractor
was built in 1913 by one of the companies that became Caterpillar, we have
continued to innovate and set industry standards for undercarriage design,
manufacturing and service. Today, we offer complete track components for
every Cat machine in every application. In test after test by independent
laboratories, Cat Undercarriage consistently outperforms the competition,
delivering the lowest possible cost per hour.

Quality manufacturing, lower cost per hour Superior Undercarriage Management

Cat Undercarriage components work together as a system. Matched
wear rates on mating components mean worn parts can be replaced
at the same time. You save time and money and get maximum wear
life from every component. Many of the differences aren’t visible
on the surface. But under close scrutiny the benefits of quality
manufacturing become clear.
Cat Custom Track Service (CTS) is a comprehensive undercarriage
management program that puts you in control of your costs. Through
regular inspections, CTS technicians can measure wear surfaces, predict
remaining component life and analyze the causes of any unusual wear.
CTS technicians can also help you plan maintenance downtime to
minimize disruption of your work. When repairs and maintenance are
needed, we have specialized tools to fix it right the first time, whether
it’s in our shop or in the field.
