The undercarriage is the foundation of your heavy equipment. It carries all the weight. It handles all the impact. But how do you recognize when your undercarriage is going bad?
Visual checks reveal the first warning signs. Look for worn-out sprockets. Teeth look sharp like a shark fin when they are worn. Chains appear loose or sag too much. Cracks in rollers or idlers also mean trouble. Bent or missing track shoes weaken the machine’s balance. Uneven track tension points to misalignment or worn components.
Performance issues are another clue. Machines pulling to one side. Strange noises when moving. Vibration that feels stronger than usual. Slower travel speed even with full power. All these indicate the undercarriage is wearing out and needs service fast.
Neglecting early signs leads to bigger problems. Increased fuel consumption. Higher stress on the hydraulic system. Accelerated wear on the final drive motor. Worst of all, unexpected downtime during critical jobs.
