Compare specialized tread designs for skid steers and excavators. Learn which pattern offers the best traction for your jobsite—from heavy-duty C-Block for rock to turf-friendly Multi-Bar.
Superior durability starts at the core. We combine high-grade virgin rubber with continuous steel cord technology to deliver a track that resists wear, reduces vibration, and keeps your equipment working harder.
Engineered with a proprietary blend of 100% virgin natural and synthetic rubber. This high-grade compound provides superior resistance to cuts, gouges, and abrasion while maintaining flexibility to prevent cracking in extreme temperatures.
Reinforced with a continuous, non-overlapping steel cord design. This "endless" winding process eliminates the structural weak points found in jointed tracks, delivering maximum tensile strength and preventing snap-failures under heavy load.
Heavy-duty forged steel embeds are chemically bonded to the rubber structure using advanced adhesion technology. This creates an inseparable core that withstands high-torque sprocket engagement and prevents de-tracking on rough terrain.
Your machine's performance starts where the rubber meets the ground. Explore our specialized tread designs below to find the perfect balance of traction, durability, and ride comfort for your specific terrain.
KEY FEATURES
Impact Resistance: Engineered with thick, reinforced lugs to resist cuts, gouging, and chunking in high-impact environments like demolition and paving.
Shock Load Reduction: Features an inner tread-notch design that absorbs impact and reduces vibration, improving operator stability under heavy loads.
Multi-Surface Versatility: The contractor-preferred choice for dependable traction on road surfaces, hard clay, and loose rock.
Designed for maximum service life in abrasive conditions. The C-Block profile maximizes ground contact to prevent uneven wear while providing the aggressive bite needed for land management, underground utility, and hardscape projects.
Key Features:
Maximized Grip: Step-down lug design provides biting edges in every direction, ensuring superior traction in wet mud, snow, and slush.
Self-Cleaning Profile: Wide voids between the lugs allow mud and debris to eject automatically, preventing track packing and slippage.
Smooth Operator Ride: The continuous center contact patch reduces vibration on hard surfaces while maintaining deep traction capabilities off-road.
The ultimate all-rounder for unpredictable weather. Whether you are pushing snow in the winter or working muddy jobsites in the spring, the Zig-Zag pattern delivers consistent power and stability year-round.
Key Features:
Low Ground Disturbance: Designed to float over sensitive surfaces, making it ideal for landscaping, golf courses, and finished sod.
High-Speed Stability: The dense tread pattern creates a smooth, consistent contact patch that reduces machine bounce and operator fatigue.
Puncture Protection: A higher rubber-to-void ratio provides extra protection against punctures while offering excellent traction on loose dirt and sand.
Protect your client's property without sacrificing performance. The Multi-Bar tread offers the perfect balance of flotation and grip, allowing you to work on finished lawns and delicate surfaces without tearing up the ground.
Expert advice on selecting the right rubber tracks, understanding wear life, and maximizing your machine's performance.
The Zig-Zag pattern is our top recommendation for snow, mud, and loose terrain. Its stepped-lug design creates biting edges in multiple directions for superior grip, while the wide voids allow the track to self-clean and prevent packing.
For hard abrasive surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and rock, we recommend the C-Block pattern. It features massive, reinforced lugs that maximize ground contact, reducing wear and resisting the chunking and gouging common in heavy-duty demolition work.
Both the Multi-Bar and Zig-Zag patterns are turf-friendly options. Because the tread face on these designs stretches across the full width of the track, they help balance the machine's weight more evenly than block-style tracks. This reduced ground pressure minimizes surface damage, making both patterns safe for sod and finished landscaping and grade work.
Yes, as long as the track size (Width x Pitch x Links) matches your machine, the tread pattern is interchangeable. Many contractors switch to Zig-Zag in the winter for snow removal and go back to C-Block or Multi-Bar for summer construction work.
In our experience, the C-Block pattern tends to offer the longest service life. Its design features added rubber padding and a larger contact surface which allows for easier turning. This smoother operation reduces the side-force friction that typically causes cuts and chunking. However, total track life ultimately depends on your specific application—operating hours, operator technique, and the abrasiveness of the terrain will all play a role.
