Crawler shoes are an essential component of tracked machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, and loaders. They provide traction, support, and stability to the equipment, enabling it to operate on rough terrain. Bradken, a global manufacturer of wear-resistant products, has developed a proprietary material called BKC-400 for their crawler shoes. This material is through-hardened to typically 420 BHN, providing consistent, low wear rates throughout the life of the crawler shoes.
