Buy from a Manufacturer not a Distributor: Distributors do not have complete quality control.
Manufacturing Facility: 230,000 sqft “state of the art” facilities outside of Shanghai, China with
500+ employees, of which over 100 are professional rubber track technicians.
The facility has been thoroughly inspected by the OEM companies that we make tracks for.
Design: J’Tracks are designed by our engineers to suit specific weight and load requirements for
skid steer loaders and excavators, while enhancing their traction grip and extending wear life.
Lug patterns are designed for increased traction, decreased tearing, and even ground pressure.
Quality Control: Global Track has its own onsite quality control engineers and computerized
testing equipment; constantly testing for correct rubber curing time, tensile strength, and abrasion
resistance. The raw materials are tested upon arrival and the rubber tracks go through constant
testing during and after the production process.
Rubber Materials: A Premium Blend of Natural and Synthetic Virgin Rubber. Global Track
mixes its own rubber. Rubber tracks can be made cheaper by using increased amounts of
synthetic rubber or by using recycled rubber, but these tracks are more likely to fail prematurely.
Metal Links: Forged metal links are dipped and completely coated with a rubber adhesive
compound to make the rubber links less likely to be pulled out; others skip this process or they
brush on a little adhesive with a paint brush.
Metal Cables: Multi strand high tensile stainless blended internal wire cables are wound into one
continuous loop assembly and immersed in a special coating. This makes the strongest internal
cable system. Tracks produced with flat separate cables, or with cable windings that are not
looped assembly cost less, but are more likely to stretch and tear prematurely.
Production Presses: Global Track utilizes the newest ‘state of the art’ computer controlled rubber
track vulcanizing presses that control the vulcanizing temperature, humidity and cure time. These
presses do not allow J’Tracks to be taken out of the mold before they are fully cured. One of the
most time consuming and high cost processes in making rubber tracks is the correct cure time in
the mold. Some other rubber tracks are made cheaper by decreasing the time of the molding
process, resulting in a track with a decreased wear life and higher failure rate.
Mission Statement: Global Track is dedicated to Excellence, Innovation, and Consistent Quality.
