Track Shoe for Hitachi EX2600-6 Excavator | 0004092

Product Overview

The track shoe (also known as track pad) is a critical undercarriage component of your Hitachi EX2600-6 mining excavator. These individual pads are bolted to each track link and serve as the direct interface between the 260-ton class machine and the ground. Track shoes provide essential traction, distribute the machine's massive weight across the ground surface, and protect the track chain from direct abrasion.

The Hitachi EX2600-6 is a 260-ton class mining excavator designed for high-productivity loading operations. The EX2600-6 is available in both backhoe and loading shovel configurations. This genuine Hitachi track shoe (Part No. 0004092) is engineered to exacting OEM specifications for perfect fit, reliable performance, and maximum service life in demanding mining environments.

This is a genuine Hitachi original equipment part.

Note on Part Number:Part number 0004092 is a genuine Hitachi component. Please note that aftermarket heavy-duty track shoes for the EX2600-6 have recently undergone successful field testing in Western Australian lithium mines, demonstrating that this machine is capable of operating in extremely abrasive and high-impact conditions .

Technical Specifications

Please verify exact specifications with your machine's technical manual or existing component.

EX2600-6 Undercarriage Overview

The Hitachi EX2600-6 features a reinforced undercarriage system designed for extreme mining conditions. The undercarriage components work together as an integrated system:

Field Performance Note

Heavy-duty track shoes for the EX2600-6 have recently completed successful field testing in Australian mining conditions. After 1,400 hours of operation in a lithium mine, inspection showed no cracking on the shoe base plates and minimal wear on components . This demonstrates the EX2600-6's capability to operate in extremely abrasive conditions with proper heavy-duty components.

Track Shoe Design & Types

The EX2600-6 track shoe (0004092) is available in multiple configurations depending on ground conditions and application requirements:

Track Shoe Components

Function & Operation

Operating Principle

1. Track chain rotates around undercarriage
2. Track shoes are bolted to each track link
3. Shoes contact ground as track chain moves
4. Grousers penetrate surface for traction
5. Machine weight distributes across multiple shoes
6. Worn shoes can be replaced individually

Wear Environment

In heavy rock mining applications, track shoes face extreme impact loads. Heavy-duty designs with reinforced base plates are specifically engineered to resist cracking under these conditions .

Compatible Hitachi Models

Important:Please verify your machine's serial number and specific track shoe configuration with our parts department to ensure correct compatibility. Track shoe type (double grouser, single grouser, heavy-duty, etc.) varies by application and ground conditions. The EX2600-6 is a large mining-class machine; field testing confirms its suitability for extreme mining environments with proper heavy-duty components .

6. Torque bolts to specification - Use torque wrench

Installation Steps

1. Position machine on level ground, block tracks securely
2. Relieve track tension using track adjuster grease valve
3. Rotate track to position shoe at accessible location
4. Remove old track shoe bolts
5. Remove worn track shoe
6. Clean track link mounting surface thoroughly
7. Inspect track link for damage or wear
8. Position new track shoe (0004092) on link
9. Install new mounting bolts with thread locker
10. Torque bolts to Hitachi specifications
11. Repeat for remaining shoes
12. Apply track tension to specification
13. Test track operation in forward and reverse at low speed
14. Re-torque bolts after initial operation

Torque Specifications

Post-Installation

• Verify all bolts are properly torqued
• Check for proper shoe alignment
• Test track operation at low speed
• Re-torque after 50 hours of operation

IMPORTANT:Installation must only be performed by qualified mining equipment technicians following procedures in the EX2600-6 Workshop Manual.

Maintenance Recommendations

Track Shoe Wear Limits

Heavy-Duty Application Note

For EX2600-6 machines operating in high-impact rock applications (such as lithium, hard rock, or iron ore mines), heavy-duty track shoe designs with reinforced base plates are recommended to prevent cracking and extend service life .

Critical Notes

• Always use genuine Hitachi replacement bolts
• Never reuse old bolts - Always install new
• Proper torque is critical for bolt retention
• Loose bolts cause elongated holes and link damage
• Worn shoes reduce traction and increase track chain wear
• Replace shoes before grousers wear completely flat
