Product Overview

UHMWPE track Shoes for Amphibious / Swamp / Marsh / Floating Excavator

Amphibious Excavator Undercarriage UHMWPE Track plate UHMWPE palte track


UHMWPE track pad is made of high performance plastic material -Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE). UHMW-PE has lowe friction, hing tensile strength, strong impact strength, we use UHMW-PE pad bolt on the track of excavator,  it possesses very good properties of wear resistance, tear resistance and non-disintegration, etc. The adhesion between the UHMW-PE and steel plate is very strong, the replacement is convenient and the service life is long so it is suitable for various pavers and bitumen transportation trucks.

UHMWPE track-pads bolt direct onto existing steel track shoes for the most secure fastening strength.Installation is quick, easy, and most economical. Steel track shoes always stay on your machine. UHMWPE track-pads bolt directly to the undercarriage track-chain in a 1-Piece integrated pad/shoe design for standard OEM pad replacements.


The design and makeup of the amphibious excavator fitted with the UHMPE Track Shoes will tremendously improve the mobility and speed of the machine. UHMPE stands for Ultra High Molecular Poly-Ethylene has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 2 and 6 million u. The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions. This results in a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.

UHMPE is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals has extremely low moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of friction is self-lubricating; and is highly resistant to abrasion, in some forms being 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel.

Generally, UHMPE track shoes is lighter in weight as compared to the steel track shoes. For a 20 ton class amphibian excavator moving on UHMPE track shoes, it will generally reduces the weight of the whole machine by 2.2 ton.


Below are the benefits of UHMWPE Track Shoes:

1)      Due to flexibility nature of the UHMPE, the UHMPE Track plates/shoes will bounce back to its original position while the Steel track plate will be bended easily if travelling over bigger rock stone.

2)      Longer life span of the track chain due to the above.

3)     Reduces the cost of maintenance in changing the track shoes and track chain which will be a great cost savings for the user in a long run.
