Abstract: Track pad includes a first link member that extends upwardly from the shoe member including a first lug member extending from the first link member in a first direction, as well as a second lug member and a third lug member both extending from the first link member in a second direction opposite of the first direction. The track pad also defines a first side cavity that extends from the first lateral end toward the second lateral end, jogging from the front end toward the rear end along the track chain traveling direction, and downwardly toward the ground engaging surface.

Abstract: A track link plate includes a main body, a first shaft hole, a second shaft hole, two through holes, a supporting rib and a first extending portion. The first shaft hole passes through a first end of the main body. The second shaft hole passes through a second end of the main body. The two through holes are arranged in an interval between the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole. The supporting rib is located between the two through holes. The first extending portion protrudes outward from a second surface of the main body. A distance of the first extending portion from the edge of the through holes to the rotating inner edge is greater than or equal to one third of a total height of the main body. Therefore, the strength of the track link plate can be strengthened.

Abstract: A track link having sensor-receiving cavities and a method of producing a track link is disclosed. The track link may include a link body and a cavity formed in the link body configured to receive a sensing device. The track link may also include a protrusion substantially surrounding the cavity. The protrusion may include a substantially flat surface.

Abstract: An endless track adapter system for a wheeled vehicle includes a plurality of adjustable track links selectively interconnectable by a plurality of pins into an endless track for driving by wheels of the vehicle. Track links include track link base portions including medial wheel guides and track link sled portions including lateral wheel guides. A mechanism is provided for adjusting distance between the medial and lateral wheel guides.

Abstract: An self-cleaning endless track which reduces slippage between the tires of a skid-loader and the endless track. The inventive device includes a plurality of track pads interconnected, wherein each track pad comprises a pair of grouser members extending parallel between a pair of opposing side members, a pair of slots on opposing sides of the side members for pivotally receiving a link member, and a corresponding pair of gripping members attached to an upper surface of the pair of grouser members. The gripping members reduce slippage between the tires of the skid-loader and the endless track, thereby extending the useful life of the skid-loader.

Abstract: A self-cleaning track for reducing the accumulation of debris between the moving and non-moving components of an endless track. The inventive device includes a plurality of track pads interconnected to form an endless track. Each track pad comprises at least one grouser member extending between a pair of opposing side members, a cavity within each of the side members, an opening projecting into a side of each side member exposing the cavity, a pair of slots on opposing sides of the side members for pivotally receiving a link member, and a ramp portion projecting into each side member from the a lower portion of the slots. The opening allows debris accumulated within the cavity to escape freely. The ramp portions of the slots allow the debris to descend from the cavity when the track pad is in a substantially upper position along the endless track.
