Trabber rubber pads and blocks — Accessories for mini excavators

• High-resistance rubber: Made with specific compounds that ensure excellent resistance to abrasion, cuts and wear on urban worksites and tough terrain.
• Reinforced structure: Incorporates braided steel cables and inner plates to enhance stability and torsional strength.
• Vibration reduction: Absorbs part of ground impact, improving operator comfort and protecting machine components.
• Easy installation: Available in Bolt-On, Clip-On and Chain-On formats to simplify mounting on multiple track and frame types.

Compatibility and on-site versatility

Trabber rubber pads and shoes fit perfectly with our own brand’s rubber tracks as well as Trasteel Track components. They are available for a wide variety of mini excavators and compact machines, making them an ideal solution for urban or impact-sensitive jobsites.

• Full compatibility: Work optimally with Trabber tracks and other undercarriage system elements.
• Ground protection: Prevent damage to delicate surfaces such as paving stones, asphalt or industrial floors.
• Multi-sector application: Ideal for public works, landscaping, interior demolition, urban maintenance and more.

Proven reliability

Designed to withstand the toughest conditions, Trabber rubber pads and shoes have been tested across multiple working environments, delivering consistent, quiet and durable performance.

Bolt-On

Bolt-On pads are bolted directly to the machine’s steel chain through threaded holes, providing a firm and secure hold.

• Direct fastening: Requires chains with through-holes for bolted mounting.
• High strength: Perfect for intensive use and uneven terrain.
• Easy maintenance: Individual replacement allows changing only damaged pads.

Clip-On

Clip-On pads are clamped to the track’s metal shoes with side brackets, with no drilling required, enabling quick installation without modifications.

• Quick installation: No special tools or full disassembly required.
• Versatility: Ideal for rental machines or temporary changes.
• No chain modification: No need to drill shoes or alter the structure.

Chain-On

Chain-On pads mount directly onto the chain links without a metal shoe, allowing a steel chain to be converted into a temporary rubber track.

• Direct conversion: Ideal for occasional jobs that require rubber without changing the entire track.
• Modular installation: Option to install only in specific areas as needed.
• Surface protection: Reduces impact on sensitive surfaces such as paving stones or industrial floors.

• Daily cleaning: After each workday, clean pads or shoes with a pressure washer to remove soil, gravel or chemicals that may accelerate wear.
• Avoid sharp turns: Maneuvers on hard ground or pivot turns can cause rubber tears or pad detachment.
• Check fastenings: Periodically verify that bolts or clips are properly tightened to prevent loss or detachment during operation.
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure: Whenever possible, park the machine in shaded areas to prevent premature hardening of the rubber.
• Rotate when possible: In very demanding applications, consider switching the position of pads or shoes most exposed to wear.

• Noise and vibration reduction: Design and materials absorb much of the vibration from ground contact, improving operator comfort.
• Surface protection: Ideal for urban areas, delicate pavements or indoor jobs where metal would cause damage.
• Universal compatibility: Available for many machinery brands and models, in Bolt-On, Clip-On and Chain-On versions.
• Quick installation: Modular design enables fast mounting, usually without specialized tools.
• Consistent performance: Built from high-quality rubber with internal reinforcement, ensuring even wear and predictable behavior.

• Extended service life: With proper use, Trabber pads and shoes can reach between 1,200 and 1,800 working hours, depending on the environment and ground conditions.
• Identify wear signs: Material loss, edge tears or visible deformations clearly indicate replacement is needed.
• Avoid extreme environments: Continuous work on abrasive surfaces such as rocks or hot asphalt can accelerate premature wear.
• No pivot turns: Turning the machine on the spot creates excessive friction on the pads, notably shortening their lifespan.
• Check regularly: Establish inspection routines to verify condition, fastenings and uneven wear.
