Undercarriage

Durable undercarriage absorbs stresses and provides excellent stability.

Track. The 345C L comes standard with the new grease lubricated track called GLT4. The track links are assembled and sealed with grease to decrease internal bushing wear, reduce travel noise and extend service life lowering operating costs.

Travel Motors. Two-speed axial piston hydraulic motors provide the 345C L drive power and speed selection which is automatic when the high-speed position is selected. This enables the machine to automatically change between computer-controlled high and low speeds depending on drawbar-pull requirements.

Straight-line Travel Circuit. The straight-line travel circuit is incorporated into the hydraulic system, which maintains low-speed, straight-line travel, even when operating the front linkage.

An optional straight travel pedal controls both tracks simultaneously.

Final Drive. The final drives are a new compact design with three-stage planetary reduction. This design results in a complete drive/brake unit that is compact and delivers excellent performance and reliability.

Track Guards. The idler guard and bolt-on center guard are standard equipment. They help maintain track alignment while traveling or working on slopes. For applications that require additional track protection or alignment, optional guards are available.

Extreme Service Undercarriage. Attachment includes next size larger track roller frame and moving under- carriage components for increased stability and extra rugged reliability in hard-rock and severe impact conditions.

Fixed Gauge Undercarriage. Attachment provides

a stable, durable and low maintenance platform when working on variety of sites.
