Skid Steer OTTs
Skid steer loaders need to be well-equipped in order to face the many challenges that construction work presents. These helpful machines must often handle rough terrains, such as sticky mud, slippery grass, snowy and frozen surfaces, sand, loose rocks and many others that can prove severe challenge for an unequipped vehicle.
Over-the-tire track systems are one great option for skid steers, when tires alone do not provide the needed traction. The work of the machine operator can be difficult, especially when the vehicle is not stable due to troublesome terrain where tires alone don’t dig in well enough. Track systems, such as the ones provided by McLaren ensure that is not the case, regardless of the conditions. McLaren’s skid steer OTTs are the best solution for any type of environment, especially when used in synergy with Nu-Air tires.
- McLaren RUBBER OTTTM – if you are after versatility for your skid steer loader, then the McLaren RUBBER OTTTM is the right kind of skid steer OTT system for you. These tracks come with a strong base built from manganese-enriched high-grade steel and links and pins made from chromium-enriched heat-treated steel. These materials, along with the rubber pads made of resistant rubber compound and an attachment plate made of steel within, mean that the track can take quite the beating and still suffer no wear and tear. Such design basically makes each section of the track impenetrable, and completely eliminates the risk of flats. McLaren RUBBER OTTTM is best suited for concrete, asphalt and lawn terrain, as it is safe and cause no damage to such delicate surfaces in comparison to conventional steel tracks. The rubber tracks are the best solution for off-road conditions, as they provide floatation and traction to wet and slippery surfaces. The rubber OTT is the ideal system for jobs executed in urban environment, as the rubber shoes mean no damage to pavement or turf. There are non-marking rubber pads in orange also available, which leave no black marks on pavement. Combined with McLaren’s Nu-Air Tires, the rubber OTTs take the performance of any skid steer loader to a superb level. The OTTs fit skid steer tires of two different sizes: 5 & 12×16.5. One main feature of this series OTTs is that they can be combined with both semi-pneumatic and pneumatic tires.
- McLaren MAGNUM OTTTM – enter the most durable and toughest of all tracks designed for skid loaders – the McLaren MAGNUM OTTTM. They feature similar base track design as the rubber series OTTs, which contributes to good floatation. These tracks are virtually indestructible and provide tire protection even in the harshest of environments. The direction design of the tracks grants the machine extra traction, which is just what is needed on off-road terrains – deep mud, sand, rocks and other such. The MAGNUM series are the ideal option for heavy duty work in recycling yards, waste debris and demolition sites alike. They fit skid steer tires of sizes 5 and 12×16.5.
- McLaren DIAMOND OTTTM – if greater traction is what is needed, then the DIAMOND series tracks are the best solution. The main feature of these tracks is the bar surface shaped like diamonds, which offers far better traction in comparison to a smooth bar. With the angled edges, the tracks dig in and eliminate the risk of slipping on wet grass, mud, clay, rock, snow and ice. Working on sloped ground is no problem for these tracks. They can be easily cleaned thanks to the open face style design. The tire sizes that these tracks fit include: 16.5, 12×16.5 and 14×17.5.
- Maximizer OTTTM – the Maximizer series represent a cost-effective track system solution at inexpensive price for what is a top-tier over-the-tire track system. Maximizer OTTs are essentially the small brother version of the Diamond series. The same steel alloys that make other McLaren Skid Steer OTTs are used in the design of maximizer tracks, despite the fact they are meant for part-time work. The pattern on the tracks, which feature hexagon diamond shapes, presents the same benefits on icy and wet conditions – no slipping, improved traction and steady work of the machine. When tires alone fail, the maximizer tracks shine. They can be equipped on three sizes of tires: 15, 12×16.5 and 14×17.5.
