Choosing the right method for attaching accessories to excavators—whether bolt-on bolt-off attachments or welding—can significantly affect efficiency, flexibility, and cost.
Welding Attachments
- Permanent Solution: Welded attachments like grousers and lugs become a fixed part of the machine, limiting adaptability.
- High Costs and Downtime: Welding requires skilled labor, specialized equipment, and leads to significant downtime for preparation, welding, and cooling.
- Potential Structural Weakness: Welding can compromise track integrity due to heat, potentially reducing lifespan.
Bolt-On Bolt-Off Attachments
TrackGrip offers bolt-on bolt-off attachments, providing several key advantages:
- Quick Installation: Install or remove attachments in just 15-30 minutes, significantly reducing downtime.
- For instance, users like Mouse’s Fencing in Taranaki, NZ, have reduced installation time to as little as 15-20 minutes for a full set of 16 attachments. Read more on how ChainGrip saved them a possible two-week delay on a three-week job.
- Versatility: Easily switch attachments for different terrains without causing damage to the tracks.
- Cost Savings: Eliminates the need for welding, reducing labor and equipment costs.
