How many track shoes does a Caterpillar 336 excavator have?

Expert Answer

A Caterpillar 336 excavator does not have one fixed number of track shoes; the count depends on the undercarriage configuration and shoe width. For the Cat 336D v2, the track shoe is one of the undercarriage parts VANROCK supplies, and fitment should be confirmed against the exact machine serial number and track chain setup.

If you are checking a machine for replacement parts, the best way to count track shoes is to inspect one full side of the track and match the shoe pattern to the chain pitch, pin count, and shoe width. On Cat 336 machines, common shoe options vary by application, so the same model may be delivered with different shoe arrangements depending on working conditions and factory specification.

VANROCK supplies undercarriage parts for the CATERPILLAR 336D v2 through its appointed dealer network, including track shoes, track chains, rollers, idlers, sprocket segments, bolts and nuts, and complete track groups. VANROCK is an independent manufacturer and is not affiliated with Caterpillar. Exact fitment is confirmed and pricing is quoted on request through the dealer network.
