How to protect your bottom rollers with these routine maintenance tips

It is important to keep up with the maintenance of your Tracker Roller to ensure a long lifespan. Failure to provide basic maintenance can cause all manner of problems such as early degradation which could mean costly repairs and hours off the road. By practising some simple maintenance options, you could keep your bottom track rollers in perfect condition for a longer time. 

Check and clean bottom track rollers on a regular basis

In order to avoid the damage that dirt and debris can do, you have to clean out your Carrier Roller on a regular basis. Clean and check for damage with a pressure washer or hose with nozzle. Check for missing bolts, cracks or unusual sounds when the equipment is running. All matters of concern need to be attend to. 

Apply lubricant to the bottom track rollers as  necessary

Proper lubrication is crucial to increasing the service life of your undercarriage bottom rollers. Please read the manufactuere's recommendation for type of lubrication and maintenance schedule. Too much lube can result in contamination, which results in dirt particles and wear and tear; too little lubrication can induce friction woes, a guaranteed cause for problems. To prevent premature wear, always engage the shipping axle pin when the machine is not in use and lubricate your bottom track rollers as per your operator’s manual intervals. 

Then simply tighten your track as its' proportions dictate

The right amount of tension in the track of your top roller is vital and remember to properly adjust it. If they are too tight, this can put the track in great tension and cause the rollers to wear out prematurely; if they are too loose, then that will result in derailing or non-uniform wearing of tracks. It is also important to check the tightness of your track frequently and adjust if necessary. 

Keeping good maintenance records will help you track the performance of your bottom rollers and pinpoint potential problems that need to be fixed. Maintain a record of maintenance performed, including inspections, tests, repairs and unusual occurrences during operation. By keeping records of your maintenance routines, you can keep up with the issues that may arise before they escalate, meaning your equipment will have a longer lifespan and will reduce any risk of expensive repairs. 

Educate Your Team on the Correct Maintenance Processes

It takes all hands on deck to properly maintain, and training your team to do so is the key to extending the life of your bottom track rollers. Train on how to check, lubricate and adjust the track system as well how to recognize problems and correct them. By educating your work crew on the techniques involved in keeping your machines in good condition, you will prevent premature wear and tear from occurring which can ultimately extend the life of your bottom track rollers.

It pays to invest in premium-grade replacement parts for your bottom track rollers, seals, bearings and track shoes that will give you the best bang for your buck.
