So why is there not a grinding noise when a machine running on steel tracks drives across the ground? Well quite easy really, they are fitted with rubber pads to give grip and to prevent wear and tear on those steel tracks. The good news for digger and excavator owners is that these rubber pads clip on or bolt on very easily indeed, so they can be replaced in just about any location or environment.
Just like a pair of shoes these rubber pads come in different sizes and qualities to suit the working conditions and are available from most wear part suppliers without much delay. Other advantages of rubber pads is crossing rough ground and uneven territory, the nature of the pads means for a softer and smoother ride for you and the machine.
Unlike the motor car that seems to get more complicated with every new model, mini excavators and diggers are the oposite. They need to be simple in design so that most parts can be fixed or replaced locally and the rubber pad is and example of this. Of course the small rubber tracked machines don't have rubber pads, but do the same job.
