Doesn’t it look cute or not is the saying. This GHEL 153 mini excavator is put through it;s paces for the camera as a kind of advert, where it shows what it might be able to do without getting it dirty, even its rubber tracks still remain spotless. OK it is like some sort of dancing, moving right then left and around, but come on lets see some work being done. The whole point of mini excavators, is they get dirty doiong work that is too heavy for use humans. the whole point of rubber tracks is to reach the parts, 4 wheels can’t. but this video fails on all points. It was a lazy afternoon, with a driver and a camera. the ironic thing is, this could be a good machine.
A bit more information on JCB excavators is needed at this point as we talked about how well they are know in the last post. This option is a JCB JS 330NC doing its work at some sort of demonstration or fair. The sheer angle it is working at, shows the versatility of this huge machine, although I doubt this is samll enough to have rubbers tracks on and is probably steel tracked based. we get used to cars working hard to get us from A to B, but these nachines are designed tio work just abot 24 7, to make money for those in heavy industry. The show we now know is the MAWEV show of 2009. Again the JCB excavator parts are plentiful from all over the world and in many cases you can get parts for these quicker than your car you drive.
Here is an advert from Maclaren who sell rubber tracks in the USA. The video shows the strength and durability of the Mclaren range of rubber tracks that match what comapnies like MST Tracks offer here in the UK.
Tear resistenat rubber compounds seem to be the biggest advantage to long life and durability, the last thing you want to do is have to stop work because of poor quality products. Floatation and ride quality also seems to be on the agenda, although I doubt any of the workers are expecting a luxury driving experience. These rubber tracks also have a steel core and steel cabes to keep everything topgether, of course similar products are available here in the United Kingdom, keeping your business.
If you work in a swamp like Shrek, then you may just find a need for a rubber tracked vehicle like the Prinroth Trooper. These vehicle look like they can get through any type of ground even when it is 3 ft under water. The rubber tracks of this vehicle spreads the weight, to keep it going even when the water is up to the windscreen. the speed this vehicle goes is also impressive with the plough at the front to clear the way. its rubber tracks are just about longer than the vehcile itself giving it some substantial grip.
An advert for the Morooka Dumpa truck showing what it can do for your business. The rubbers tracks allows it to travel over ground a traditional wheeled vehicle could not manage and with a dupper truck capacity, making this a useful machine in many clearing operations. the video shows the versatily of this vehicle, at one point they place some wheels on the ground and driver over them, proving that in many cases rubber tracks is the way to go.
The first impresssion is a vehicle from Thunderbirds but but this Canycom is real and have real value. Running in rubber tracks, thuis vehcile allows a worker to stand and drive this tipper type vehicle that has the movements of a fork lift truck on unstable or rought ground. It looks like an idela solution to move dirt using its polythene dump bucket.
Of course its rubber tracks means it can work in areas where wheeled small dump trucks can’t and a 90% dump angle. easy hand controls makes this easy to drive. Another rubber tracked vehicle to look at, watch the video.
To understand the different barnds and types of rubber tracks out there, sometimes we will show and advert from the manufacturer. this is not an endorsment of the products, but it is just that these adverts tend to show you all the benefitd and features of their rubber tracks products in the shortest time possible, making this blog a kind of resourse to find out all this information.
Inthis case it is the Mclaren brand of rubber tracks, who obvoulsy make tires also. As part of your research to which rubber tracks are right for you, you can watch the video to compare.
