Goodyear offers a wide variety of rubber tracks, including tracks intended for use in Agriculture,
Construction, Industrial, Recreation and Military applications.
Generally, Goodyear works closely with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop and
provide rubber tracks that are optimized for each unique machine and operating environment.
This process begins with the OEM completing and submitting a Prototype Questionnaire Sheet
describing their proposed machine and application. Based on a review of the information contained
in this questionnaire, Goodyear recommends a track that is appropriate for the OEM’s use.
The purpose of this Product Line Summary is to review the range of rubber track products offered
by Goodyear. This is neither a complete listing of the tracks that Goodyear can supply, nor is it
intended to replace the collaborative track selection process described above. Rather, it is intended
to make potential manufacturers of rubber-tracked equipment aware of the most popular types of
rubber track which Goodyear offers.
In selecting a rubber track, there are four basic parameters which must be determined:
1. Track Width
2. Track Length
3. Tread Pattern (i.e., TC, TG, TA, etc.)
4. Guide/Drive Lug (i.e., GD, GE, GA, etc.)
Track Width
More than a dozen standard track widths are offered by Goodyear, ranging from 12 to 36 inches. In
addition, Goodyear has the ability to produce track of virtually any width on a custom basis.
However, the most popular track widths are:
Agricultural Track Widths: 16, 24, 30 and 36 inches
Construction/Industrial Tracks: 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 inches
Track Length
With more than 40 standard track lengths available, Goodyear has sizes ranging from 168 to 378
inches. Please note that all track lengths must be an integer multiple of the track “pitch” (the
repeating length of the tread and guide/drive lug patterns). For Goodyear’s popular 6-inch pitch
tracks, the most common lengths are:
Standard Track Lengths: 234, 252, 276, 312, 324, 342 and 378 inches
