The bespoke track modules are adapted from our standard Softrak undercarriage, as supplied to the RNLI for use in marine environments. The use of hot-dipped galvanised steel structural components and 316 stainless shafts, fasteners, and hose fittings gives excellent corrosion resistance, longevity, and strength.

The track modules are constructed in high-tensile steels (700N/mm²) and mounted on transverse cross-tubes to allow the track width of the machine to be easily varied for different applications and tracks.

The fully floating bogies are rubber-mounted for vibration isolation and maintenance-free operation. Heavy-duty idlers, track rollers, and top rollers are fitted with phosphor bronze bearings, high-pressure rubber seals, and labyrinth-type end caps to minimise sand and mud ingress. Regular greasing with water-resistant grease allows purging of any contaminants from bearing surfaces. This type of bearing and seal arrangement has proven to be extremely reliable in jetting burial machines and is simple to maintain in the field.

Tensioning of the rubber track is achieved via grease-filled rams and can easily be adjusted using a standard grease gun. Nitrogen-filled accumulators are fitted to the track tension rams to allow recoil in the event of sand or stones becoming lodged in the track. Featuring all-steel track rollers, idlers, sprockets, and a track tensile strength in excess of 32,000 kg, de-tracking is almost eliminated.
