Can I replace Camso or Camoplast tracks with other aftermarket tracks?

Expert Answer

Yes, you can often replace Camso or Camoplast tracks with other aftermarket tracks, but only if the replacement matches the exact fitment requirements for your machine. Camso and Camoplast are the same brand family, and VANROCK is an independent manufacturer not affiliated with Camso or any OEM. The key is matching the track size code, lug/core style, and application, not just the brand name.

Start by reading the moulded code on the inside of the track. It usually shows width × pitch × number of links, such as 320x86x52. That code must match, and some machines also require a specific lug profile, guide style, or core geometry to work correctly with the undercarriage. If you only compare width, you can end up with a track that looks close but does not sit or drive properly.

Common signs of a poor match include ratcheting on the drive sprocket, uneven tracking, abnormal vibration, tracks running too tight or too loose, or premature edge wear. Before ordering, check the machine model, serial number, and current track markings, and inspect the rollers, idlers, sprockets, and tension setting at the same time. Worn undercarriage parts can make a correct replacement track behave like the wrong one.

Practical rule: if the size code, construction type, and fitment details line up, an aftermarket replacement can be a suitable option. If you are changing from an OEM track to a different brand, avoid assuming that all tracks with the same width will interchange, and avoid mixing worn components with new tracks without inspection. For accurate confirmation and pricing, VANROCK supplies undercarriage parts through its appointed dealer network, with quotes available on request.
