ZigZag Tread
- 🟤 Mud and soft surfaces
- 🌾 Dirt and farm use
- ❄️ Snow and ice
The ZigZag tread offers strong traction on soft surfaces and performs well in icy conditions. It is a great option for snow-pushing and mixed off-road work.
While many commercial machines run on heavy-duty tires, some construction equipment uses tracks for better traction and stability. Tracks are designed to ensure smooth equipment operation even in the most challenging terrain.

Why Does Heavy Equipment Use Tracks Instead of Tires?
Construction and industrial equipment is extremely heavy and must be capable of traversing any terrain. Tracks provide better traction and allow heavy machinery to move around without getting stuck or damaging key components. Tracks are highly resistant to cutting and tearing and can perform on rough, rocky, and muddy surfaces.
Which Vehicles Use Tracks?
Tracks are installed on heavy equipment machines primarily used in construction, agriculture, landscaping, demolition, and recycling industries. Some machines that use tracks include:
- Mini Excavators
- Skid-Steers
- Multi Terrain Loaders
- Compact Track Loaders
Benefits of Using Tracks
- Better flotation
- Smoother ride on rough fields
- Higher level of tractive efficiency over a wide range of soil conditions
- More hillside stability
- Easy implement hook-up
- No tire pressure to adjust
- Minimal ballast changes
- No power hop
What Tread Should I Use?
Which Type of Track is Better for Me?
Tracks come in various styles and materials to handle nearly any situation. Rubber tracks are ideal for agricultural and landscaping use because they are not as aggressive on turf. Steel tracks are well suited to hilly terrain and land-clearing applications.
