IHI CL45 tracks and undercarriage, sized 450x86x56 (450 mm wide × 86 mm pitch × 56 links). Made for digging, trenching, backfill and tight-quarters work. Free freight, 24-month warranty.
What the numbers mean on a IHI CL45
- 450x86x56 — 450 mm tread width (about 18"), 86 mm pitch, 56 links
Width is the tread face, pitch is the distance between drive lugs, and links is the count around the loop. All three have to match — a track one link off will not tension correctly no matter how close the width is.
Tread choice for the IHI CL45
Size gets the track on the machine; tread decides how it works and how long it lasts. What we stock for this one:
- All-Terrain — everything in between. A compromise tread when the machine moves between surfaces
- Staggered Block — mixed dirt and gravel. Block stability with better cleanout than a straight block
- C-Block — concrete, asphalt and hard-packed ground. Longest wear life and the least vibration on hard surfaces
- Multi-Bar — mud, snow and soft ground. Deep bar lugs bite and shed material instead of packing up
- X-Terrain — the worst ground you have. Aggressive lugs for mud, slope and loose fill
- Z-Max — soft and slippery ground. An aggressive zig-zag with more bite
If the machine splits its time between surfaces, buy for the ground you are on most — a hard-surface tread on constant mud will spin, and a bar tread on concrete will wear out in half the hours.

How these wear
Excavator undercarriages load one side hard on slew and travel, so link cracking usually shows up before the tread wears out. Replace in pairs where you can: a new track running against a stretched one loads the drive unevenly and you will feel it in the steering.
Same track, other machines
Track size follows undercarriage geometry, not brand, so 450x86x56 shows up on machines from several makers. If you run any of these alongside the IHI CL45, it is the same belt:
- CAT 279C2
- CAT 279D
- CAT 279D3
- CAT 289C2
- CAT 289D
- CAT 289D3
- Gehl RT210
- Gehl RT210-2
- Gehl RT215
- JCB 225T
Not sure which you are running? Read the size off the inside of the old track, or call (850) 816-7898 and we will pull it off the machine record. The Track Finder works by make and model too.
