Malaysian-Made TUFFPad® Rubber Pads


How to fit Rubber pads to my Excavator
- If being fitted to used machines, ensure all mud and other debris have been removed from the surface of the grouser blades before fitting the new pads.
- Position the Pad bolts in-line with the pre-drilled holes on the grouser plate.
- Place the rubber pad firmly onto the grouser plate and fasten with spring washers and dome nuts from the underside of the grouser plate.
- Use an impact wrench to fasten the bolts and nuts. Tighten further with an offset wrench. M12 – 80 NM. M14 – 115 NM. M16 – 175NM. M18 – 240 NM. M20 – 340NM. M22 – 465NM.
- Once all the rubber pads have been installed, move the machine forward slowly to check they have been fitted securely and adjust if necessary.

Why do my rubber pads delaminate?
They should not delaminate, if they do it will most likely be faulty manufacturing or poor supplier, we guarantee no delamination for life of pad.
What is the best rubber pads for Rail work?
Bolt on Pads are best for rail as they have no end clips. With clip on pad’s, the clips sometimes break if come into contact with solid objects especially cast ones, ask for the steel clip type.
How long should rubber pads last?
It depends on ground conditions, working application and hours worked. For general use on roads, you could expect 3-4 years but with course ballast material such as rail maintenance 1-2 years.

City Pads

These pads are different from other types in that they are bolted directly on to the Track chain using track bolts in the same way that a steel track shoe would be bolted on.
