High wear is often inevitable for drives for construction machinery. The machine is well maintained, maintained carefully and has no accident damage. Nevertheless, rollers, wearing rollers, drive wheels, steel chains or sometimes the entire drive have to be renewed.
Repair what is broken?
Are you just one or two rollers defective? And you wonder if you should only replace the roles or in the worst case the entire drive? Is the effort worth it here or should you sell the machine? These questions come up, because replacing a drive is not quite cheap. The larger the machine and the requirements, the more expensive it becomes. It is important that you check the machine thoroughly. Are individual elements of the rolling rollers loose or wiggling? Are the drive wheels worn or can you still "drive down" them? Take a professional at hand and assess the individual elements of the drive. For minor damage (such as a broken roller), we recommend checking the machine and only replacing the broken parts. For machines that have already worked several 1,000 hours of operation, it is worth taking a closer look at the drive.
Wear parts that are often changed
Rolling rollers and wearing rollers are among the elements that are often changed. Especially with mini excavators who "drive" a lot and thus take the "rolling parts" hard. This is normal wear and leads to the drive parts have to be replaced. Here we recommend: Exchange what is broken, if necessary for provision and order 1 to 2 support/running rollers.
Drive wheels are also among the drive parts that must or should be changed frequently. The "spiker" reaches into the rubber or steel chain and thus drives the entire chain / machine. This implementation of strength requires high wear and therefore high wear and tear. Many construction machinery leaders underestimate the wear of the drive wheels and thus unnecessarily use other drive parts. A concrete example: The number of "teeth" on a drive wheel (ugs. Turas) are precisely tailored to the division of the chain. By wearing the teeth, the radius of "grasping" reduces and thereby slide the "jags" every now and then into the next chain division. This repeated process means that the "teeth" do not "grab" the chain, but shortly afterwards, shortly afterwards or, in the worst case, exactly on the division. An above -average wear or destruction of the chains is inevitable. Here we recommend: With every rubber room change, please check the drive wheels, if necessary, renew TURAS.
Important wear parts in large machines
For larger machines over 8-9T operating weight, the drives are usually made of steel. This means that rubber arches are replaced with rubber pads or steel chains. Here it is important to check the parts mentioned above and also to check the chain strands. The chain strands or steel chains carry the rubber pads / steel plates. The same principle applies here as for the drive wheels and the rubber shops. There is high wear of the chains if the Turas are not checked. Over time, it is common for chain strands to be renewed. Here we recommend: Check complete drive. Since the rubber pads / steel plates are removed, it is worth checking whether the entire drive is still intact. If this is the case, we only recommend changing the chain strands.
Change complete drive
Renewing or buying a complete drive makes sense if individual elements of the running income, drive wheels, chain strands or floor slabs are to be used. A thorough examination of the defective parts must be carried out here. The cost/benefit factor must also be taken into account, since drives are an investment.

We would be happy to advise you which parts you should change. We offer you from Genuine, OEM up to cheaper alternatives on all drive parts. Hopefully you have noticed that drive parts are essential. Care and care and individual parts are even more important to prevent expensive standing times.
