OEM High Quality Carrier Roller Support Roller For Construction Machinery Undercarriage
Features of Carrier roller / support roller :
The carrier roller is installed above the track and in the middle of the track frame, playing several key roles for crawler excavators.
1 Support the upper track
It holds up the upper track chain to prevent excessive sagging and bouncing during operation. It also avoids violent collision and friction between the track and the chassis frame.
2 Reduce traveling resistance
It enables the upper track to roll smoothly when the excavator moves forward or backward. It lowers running resistance and avoids direct grinding between track and frame structure.
3 Assist track guiding
It works coordinately with guide wheels and drive sprockets in the undercarriage system. It keeps the track running steadily and effectively reduces track deviation and derailment.
4 Auxiliary weight bearing
It shares part of the track and equipment weight on uphill and bumpy rough roads. It disperses impact load and protects the whole undercarriage parts from excessive wear.
How to select a carrier roller for your excavator/bulldozer/loader ?
When you select a carrier, it is important to select according to your excavator's brand and model.
6 tons, 13 tons, 20 tons, and 30 tons cannot be mixed, as the size, shaft diameters, and installation distances of these carrier rollers are different. The groove spacing of the carrier roller must be consistent with the track pitch, otherwise it is very easy for the chain to get stuck, wear out quickly, and fall off easily.
