What is a track group?
Compared with wheeled machinery, the track group is a device that replaces tires to support equipment moving along the ground.
What does it include?
Track links and track shoes.

How do I choose track shoes?
Track shoes should be selected based on ground conditions, application requirements, and the wear life of undercarriage components. As a general rule, choose the narrowest track shoe that offers sufficient flotation.
Features & Benefits
- The thickness exceeds the industry standard by 10%, resulting in a 10% increase in lifespan.
- A comprehensive heat treatment process offers enhanced strength and improved wear resistance.
Features & Benefits
- With a refined design, the track shoe provides sufficient buoyancy while minimizing weight, reducing the risk of the machine sinking.
- An optimized structure offers higher wear resistance.
- Professional casting processes ensure stable, reliable quality.
Types of SEM track shoes
How do I select a link?
SEM offers two kinds of track links: Grease lubricating (GLT) and Oil lubricating (SALT).
Features & Benefits
- The wear-resistant layer is deeper and harder than industry standards, providing superior wear resistance.
- Improved strength through heat treatment reduces the risk of twisting, deformation and breakage.
- Both GLT link and SALT links are maintenance-free, requiring no regular addition of grease or lubricating oil.
Under the same application conditions, the SALT link offers 1.5 times the service life of the GLT link. - Under the same application conditions, the service life of SALT link would be 1.5 times of GLT link.
How do I select a track group?
Customers can combine various track shoes and links to handle complex applications. Generally, it is recommended to choose the narrowest track shoe that provides adequate buoyancy, and to select either a universal GLT link or SALT link based on specific working conditions and requirements.
Working conditions vary in severity depending on ground conditions. For example, in gravelly, muddy, or clay-like conditions, wide track shoes are recommended to prevent settling, and the SALT link is preferred for its extended service life, thereby reducing hourly costs.
Measure the wear
How can you tell when the track will be worn out without cutting it into pieces?
Now, it’s possible!
SEM customers now can use the CAT Wear Management System to measure track wear.
Simply download the CTS Pro mobile app from Google Play or the App Store and start measuring.
The CTS system is designed to help customers manage their undercarriage systems and lower costs by:
- Enhancing the built-in value of SEM Undercarriage components
- Reducing undercarriage inspection time
- Providing quick and accurate wear analysis
- Enabling informed decisions about maintenance
