Fast Track Repair on a CAT 336

A Contractor in Northern California needed a quick solution for a common challenge – breaking a seized track link on a CAT 336EL, one of the most widely used excavators in the region. Down time wasn’t an option and transporting the machine off-site would have added days to the job.

Rapid Deployment

The Durapac TTP-100 Track Pin Press and SPEM45054L-115V Electric Power Unit were delivered to site one day and put straight to work the next. With minimal setup, the crew was able to break the link cleanly and safely on the CAT 336EL.

Proven Performance

The pin press delivered controlled, reliable force throughout the job, giving the team the confidence to line up their next task; servicing the track on a CAT 320E later in the week.
