Quad-link track adds strength essential for superior
undercarriage life in the most severe applications.
Improved undercarriage strength
in severe impact conditions
Quad- and Tri-link tracks were developed by Caterpillar®
for the most severe impact conditions. Their unique
designs improve link assembly strength by bolting
additional outrigger chains (1/2 chains)—two for Quad-
link and one for Tri-link—to the outer ends of the track
shoes. The outrigger chains greatly improve sealability
and structural integrity by stiffening the track system and
reducing shoe deflection. Using Quad- or Tri-link track
leads to:
• better load distribution.
• improved lubricated joint life (fewer dry joints).
• greater system reliability.
The result is lower undercarriage cost per hour in high
impact applications.
