Posi-Track Overview

The heart is the rubber track system, which features an advanced undercarriage technology. Unlike wheeled skid steers, a posi-track loader uses a flexible track on the ground system that spreads the machine’s weight over a larger surface area. This means much lower ground pressure and more grip, so you can operate on soft, muddy or uneven ground where wheeled machines would struggle.

Undercarriage Benefits

The larger ground contact area gives you more traction and stability, higher output and safety on tough job sites. The unique posi-track undercarriage is made up of roller wheels that work with the core and the needed track. These also keep the track in line. This system gives you a premium ride and long life and track cushioning that means more operator comfort and less machine wear and tear.

Compared to Skid Steers

When you compare track loaders to skid steers several key differences emerge. Skid steers are fast and agile on hard surfaces but limited friction and high ground pressure is a problem on soft or sensitive ground. Tracked loaders have lower ground pressure, so are perfect for applications that need stability and minimal ground disturbance. You may find both posi-track skid steers for sale and hire, but plant hire companies often stock a range of both, including models. Posi-track hire can be a good option for specific projects where more grip is needed. While skid-steer loaders and tracked loaders seem interchangeable, the choice depends on the work environment.
