CAT 255 Rubber Tracks

CAT 255 Heavy-Duty Rubber Tracks | 320x86x52 & 400x86x52

Heavy-duty replacement rubber tracks for the CAT 255 Compact Track Loader, offered in 320x86x52 and 400x86x52 widths. Caterpillar's own specifications show the practical difference clearly: changing track width changes ground-contact area and ground pressure, which changes how the machine behaves on firm versus soft ground.

Choose Track Width for the Application

320x86x52: The narrower footprint concentrates more machine weight over a smaller contact area for higher ground pressure, strong pushing performance on firm ground, tighter access, and typically lower replacement cost.

400x86x52: The wider footprint spreads machine weight over more surface area for lower ground pressure, improved flotation, greater stability, and reduced surface disturbance in mud, sand, soft soil, landscaping, and finish-grade applications.

Traction, Flotation & Stability

The right track should preserve the 255's balance of traction, flotation, stability, and productive ground contact. Width establishes the footprint; tread pattern fine-tunes bite, cleanout, ride quality, and wear.

Choose the Tread for the Work

• C-Block: Stable all-around traction across dirt, gravel, hardpack, rock, concrete, and general construction.
• Multi-Bar: High-contact tread for smooth travel, consistent traction, and reduced vibration across dirt, sand, packed ground, wet conditions, and hard flat surfaces.
• Zig-Zag: Aggressive stepped tread with open cleanout channels for mud, wet clay, snow, loose soil, and slopes.
• Z-Max: High-bite off-road tread for demanding pushing and loose-ground applications where maximum ground engagement matters.
• All-Terrain: Versatile mixed-surface tread balancing traction, stability, ride quality, and wear.

Available tread combinations vary by width on this product. Use the listed variant options to select the actual size-and-tread combination offered for the machine.

Heavy-Duty Track Construction

Advanced abrasion-resistant rubber, a continuous steel-cord core, and drop-forged, heat-treated steel links provide strength under repeated pushing, turning, grading, loading, and travel. Heavy-duty construction adds approximately 30% more rubber than standard-duty replacements through high-wear areas to help resist stretching, cuts, tearing, chunking, and premature abrasion.

Undercarriage & Track Life

Inspect sprockets, rollers, idlers, alignment, and track tension before installation. Worn mating components or incorrect tension can accelerate track wear and reduce service life. Set final track tension to Caterpillar's service specification after installation.

Warranty & Support

Nationwide fulfillment is available, backed by a 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects and application support when needed.
