Bogie suspended rollers for CTL track frames

Track component supplier Berco has developed a track frame for larger capacity compact tracked loaders that uses a bogie system to suspend the bottom rollers. Initially targeting machines in the 4.3-5.2 tonne sector, with 84-100hp, the track frame has a five-roller design.

Track component supplier 2653 Berco has developed a track frame for larger capacity compact tracked loaders that uses a bogie system to suspend the bottom rollers. Initially targeting machines in the 4.3-5.2 tonne sector, with 84-100hp, the track frame has a five-roller design. However a four-roller frame for smaller models is also planned. The bogie system allows the bottom rollers to follow the contours of the ground, providing a smoother ride for the operator and prolonging rubber track operating life.

    January 6, 2017
    Caterpillar’s seventh generation 988 wheeled loader – the 988K – is powered by a Tier 4 Final/Stage IV Cat C18 ACERT diesel engine, featuring selective catalytic reduction and delivering 362kW. The engine is said to deliver a 20% fuel efficiency benefit compared to the 988H, thanks in part to an ECO mode with on-demand throttle, auto idle and engine idle kickdown/auto resume system. The 50tonne machine moves away from its predecessor’s monoboom loader arm design in favour of a Z-bar linkage.
