Camso‘s over-the-tire rubber tracks (OTT HXD) give conventional skid-steers extra mobility to do more jobs in more places, the company says.
By using the company’s growing range of attachments, skid-steer owners always have the right tool for the job, according to Camso, formerly known as Camoplast Solideal. But many owners overlook one of the most useful of skid-steer attachments: one that gives tough traction to the ground and superior floatation when needed most.
“The Camso OTT HXD tracks improve a loader’s flotation by five times over the same machine running on its usual pneumatic tires,” says Mike Dembe, a market development manager of North America construction at Camso. “When the job calls for traction and mobility in mud, on soft soil, or in deep snow, the skid-steer’s flotation will determine whether you’re up to the job, or stuck.”
The OTT tracks were designed for easy-on, easy-off installation in as few as 20 minutes, the company adds.
According to Camso, an embedded iron core and an engineered wing profile keep the tracks securely attached to the tires and avoid de-tracking on tough terrain. An internal traction rib maximizes the fit between the track and the tire tread, so it runs efficiently without slippage and without undue wear on the tire tread or sidewall.
By taking on the load when the ground surface is treacherous, OTT tracks can actually extend the life of your standard tires, Camso says.
“By giving the machine a light footprint with a resilient touch, the OTT tracks won’t damage or scratch surfaces like steel tracks as they can travel and work on asphalt driveways, paved decks, residential lawns and sports turf,” Dembe says. “The skid-steer can move in, do the job and roll away without leaving a trace.”
