Steel cleats that bolt directly onto track shoes — turning any steel-tracked excavator into a machine that grips in ice, snow, mud, and steep terrain.
Request a QuoteA patented bolt-on steel cleat that transforms any steel-tracked machine into high-traction equipment — without modification, without special tools, and without downtime.
The TrackGrip Ice Lug is a high-grade steel cleat that bolts directly onto standard steel track shoes. Its patented design combined with precision steel construction ensures trouble-free operation in the most demanding conditions — from frozen winter job sites to steep, muddy slopes.
TrackGrip is designed for short-term installation and removal. A single operator can fit a full set in approximately 15 minutes using only the provided wrench — making it practical to adapt your equipment to changing terrain conditions on the same day.
Available for all standard steel track widths from 12 through 36 inches, TrackGrip fits excavators from every major manufacturer with all grouser combinations. Whether you're running a 5-tonne compact machine or a 40-tonne production excavator, there is a TrackGrip configuration for your equipment.
The result is exceptional traction in every direction — up, down, and sideways. Deep-penetrating lugs provide maximum hold in ice, snow, mud, sandstone, and steep terrain, while the 6-month / 1,000-hour guarantee means you can count on them staying on through the toughest operating conditions.
When conditions change, equipment that can't keep up becomes a liability. TrackGrip turns slippage into a problem you solve in 15 minutes.
TrackGrip Ice Lugs — field demonstration
Deep-penetrating lugs grip in all directions — preventing sideslip on inclines where standard track shoes lose traction.
Keep production moving through ice and snow conditions that would otherwise halt work or bring extra equipment on site.
One machine with TrackGrip does the work that would otherwise require multiple units or crew assistance.
Predictable, controlled footing reduces incidents from slippage in ice, mud, and steep terrain.
Bolt-on, bolt-off. Your machine adapts to conditions on the same shift — no modifications, no permanent changes.
TrackGrip installs quickly and securely onto any standard steel track shoe — no special tools, no drilling, and no permanent modification to your undercarriage. The wrench is provided with every set.
Excavators up to 16 tonnes typically use 16 track shoes per side. Excavators over 16 tonnes use 20–22 track shoes, fitted approximately every fifth shoe. The attachment hooks over one end of the track shoe, snaps into position, then locks with a bolt through the locking pins.
Removal is just as fast — loosening the bolt and lifting the cleat free takes the same 15 minutes. This means you can respond to changing conditions on the same shift without any downtime penalty.
The process requires one operator, and no additional equipment or expertise. First-time installers consistently report completing a full set within the 15-minute window.
TrackGrip is guaranteed not to come off the track shoe — backed by a 6-month / 1,000-hour guarantee.
Position the TrackGrip cleat over the grouser bar of the track shoe.
The attachment hooks over one end of the track shoe — no force required.
Press the cleat down until it snaps firmly onto the track shoe. Positive engagement you can feel.
Confirm the bolt holes are aligned with the locking pins before inserting the fastener.
Run the bolt through the locking pins and tighten with the provided wrench.
Repeat for remaining track shoes. Full set completed in approximately 15 minutes.
TrackGrip is used across industries wherever equipment needs reliable traction in challenging terrain.
Maintain traction on steep, wet slopes and unstable ground where log piles, slash, and soft terrain create dangerous slippage conditions.
Keep crews and machines productive through snow and ice conditions. TrackGrip prevents equipment from sliding on frozen grade and icy work surfaces.
Used extensively in pipe-laying operations on wet, rocky, and frozen rights-of-way where traction is critical for safe equipment positioning.
Deep lugs grip in all directions on grades where standard track shoes lose lateral and longitudinal traction — keeping operators safe and machines stable.
High-grade steel construction withstands abrasive ground conditions in mining environments, providing grip where soft rubber undercarriage components fail.
Penetrating lug design bites into soft ground and mud, preventing track spin and keeping machines from becoming mired in wet conditions.
TrackGrip Ice Lugs are bolt-on steel cleats that attach directly to steel track shoes on excavators and other tracked equipment. They increase traction in ice, snow, mud, steep terrain, and other challenging conditions — without any permanent modification to your machine.
TrackGrip is available for all standard steel track widths ranging from 12 to 36 inches, and fits all grouser combinations from every major manufacturer. Whether you're running a compact excavator or a large production machine, our team can match the correct configuration to your equipment.
A full set of TrackGrip lugs can be installed by one operator in approximately 15 minutes. No special tools are needed — a wrench is included with every set. Removal is equally fast, making it practical to adapt your equipment to changing conditions within a single shift.
Excavators up to 16 tonnes typically use 16 track shoes per side. Excavators over 16 tonnes typically use 20–22 track shoes, with TrackGrip fitted approximately every fifth shoe. Contact our team with your machine model and we can confirm the exact quantity for your application.
Yes. TrackGrip is backed by a guarantee that the lugs will not come off the track shoe for 6 months or 1,000 hours of operation — whichever comes first. This guarantee is a core part of the TrackGrip product, reflecting our confidence in the patented locking mechanism and high-grade steel construction.
TrackGrip lugs are designed for removal and reinstallation. Many operators store their sets between seasons and reinstall them each winter. The locking mechanism is designed to maintain its holding strength through multiple installation and removal cycles under normal operating conditions.
TrackGrip is widely used in forestry, winter construction, pipeline and utility work, mining, sandstone quarrying, and any application requiring reliable traction on steep slopes or in wet and frozen conditions. The product is used across Canada and internationally wherever steel-tracked equipment operates in demanding terrain.
