What is a track guard on an excavator?
Track guards ensure that the track link stays within the machine's tolerances, in order to prevent damage to the rollers and the track link itself. On uneven terrain, there is a high risk that the track link will come out of the roller. A worn track guard may cause damage to the rollers and the track link. We therefore recommend you to never skip the replacing of the track guards/track guides when doing an overhaul job.
