McLaren Introduces Tracks for Compact Loaders

McLaren Industries, Torrance, Calif., has introduced the NextGen TDF series, a patent-pending line of heavy-duty rubber tracks crafted specifically for compact track loaders.

The tracks have been engineered to counteract cracks, cuts and wear better than traditional tracks while also providing a smoother ride.

Traditionally, small cracks and cuts in a set of tracks continue to expand, causing further damage and decreasing service life. With McLaren’s new Crack and Cut Quarantine System, a rubber formula incorporated in the NextGen TDF series is designed to contain minor damage before it can spread, extending the tracks’ service life, according to the manufacturer.

The NextGen TDF tracks are specifically designed to handle the workload of a rubber track loader. The enhanced rubber formula and belt system also give the series and advantage over traditional tracks. Additionally, McLaren’s SpoolRite Belting, a continuous belt system, dramatically increases the tracks’ tensile strength, making tracks more durable than the standard continuous wire technique.

The series’ tread pattern is also designed to increase longevity. The NextGen TDF tracks have been designed to protect the body by limiting exposure. The series incorporates multiple lugs per pitch, rather than the standard single lug. This, combined with the tread’s double offset pattern, enhances the ride while minimizing vibration that can damage the undercarriage.

NextGen TDF tracks are backed by a full one-year warranty.
