CATRAC ® is used on various types of machinery as
a means of safely and effi ciently conveying power,
electrical, air, or fl uid (or a combination of these) to
equipment in motion. CATRAC is designed to be
maintenance free and to protect cables and hoses from
abrasion, wear and twisting. A wide variety of options are
available.
The center pivot design allows for smoother cycling and
minimal hose movement. The CATRAC design offers
“No Pinch Points” to insure operator safety. Standard
side links are high tensile steel for maximum strength.
Steel CATRACs are zinc plated with a yellow dichromate
dip for superior corrosion resistance. Optional materials,
such as aluminum and stainless steel are available.
We also offer a line of Mill Duty CATRACs that are used
in rugged applications and environments such as steel
mills. These CATRACs offer a box beam type carrier
for maximum strength and stability. Spring loaded rods
offer the customer easy access to cables and hoses.
They also eliminate the concern of fi tting sizes that must
pass through the (fi xed) compartment opening on a box
beam style carrier. Hardened shoulder bolts and locknuts
(referred to as bolted construction) are recommended
for use in rugged environments. The CATRAC is
manufactured so that pieces or sections can be removed
or replaced in the fi eld.
Our CATRAC product offers: a variety of sizes from 2.00”
to 14.00” high links, carrier options from welded carriers,
split aluminum bar carriers, rod carriers, removable pipe,
spring loaded rods, vertical pins, double deck, custom
radius “M” dimension (including double radius), custom
and special widths, including single widths, double
widths, triple widths, etc.. We offer various support
systems from a single stationary roller support to a
complete CATRAC carriage support system.
We can provide you with the optimum system to suit
your needs either with our standard carriers and options
or by means of a custom designed system to meet
your specifi c requirements. In addition to our standard
systems used in a standard linear motion, we can also
provide you with double radius side mounted systems.
Contact our applications engineers for additional
information or to discuss your needs in detail.

carriers.
