TrackGrip and Carac International Ltd (parent company) stands as a testament to quality and innovation, embodying the legacy of our founder, John Burling. Here, we delve into the engineering brilliance behind TrackGrip’s excavator track attachments and highlight the dedicated team driving our success.
The Genesis of TrackGrip: A Legacy of Innovation
The story of TrackGrip begins with John Burling, a former New Zealand motorcross champion who’s engineering talent began as a young boy fixing neighbour’s lawnmowers in his Dad’s shed. He was known to go above and beyond – not only returning them fixed, but with other useful modifications as a bonus to the clients.
His relentless drive and ingenuity led to the creation of Carac International Ltd in 1988, which has since become a leader in manufacturing and engineering solutions. Carac’s commitment to safety, quality, and innovation laid the foundation for TrackGrip’s success.
TrackGrip: Patented Solutions for Enhanced Safety and Productivity
TrackGrip, established in 2010, addresses the critical need for safety and efficiency in tracked vehicles. Our patented excavator track attachments have revolutionised the way operators navigate tough terrains, ensuring safety and improving productivity on-site.
Our products’ patented status underscores their unique design and functionality, reflecting TrackGrip’s commitment to innovation. These patents protect our cutting-edge technology and ensure that our customers benefit from exclusive, high-performance solutions.
