Undercarriage inspections are critical to maximizing the life and return on investment of your equipment. Machines that are not regularly inspected typically achieve only 75% of their potential life.
Take a large dozer as an example:
- Full potential life: 8,000 hours
- Replacement cost: $250,000
- Without inspections: Only 6,000 hours achieved → $41.67 per hour
- With inspections & proper management: Full 8,000 hours achieved → $31.25 per hour
That’s a 25% improvement in cost efficiency, saving $62,500 per undercarriage set.
By using TrackTreads advanced Forecasting and Planning Tools, customers can not only achieve 100% component life but also:
- Plan replacements well in advance
- Secure early-purchase discounts of between 10–15%
- Ensure stock is available when needed
The Result: Lower Cost Per Hour
- True cost per hour reduced to just $26.56
That’s an even greater saving—without factoring in:
- Labour efficiencies from extended life
- Planned downtime instead of costly breakdowns
