A compact work machine, such as a compact track loader and/or a compact utility loader, which can carry and operate a wide range of attachments while maintaining a reduced operating footprint

A track assembly includes an elongated main frame supported for pivotal movement on a transverse axis and having opposite end portions supporting a set of end wheels. An endless flexible belt extends around the end wheels and has an upper run and a lower run for engaging the ground. A plurality of longitudinally spaced bogie wheels are positioned below the main frame and engage the lower run of the belt. The bogie wheels are carried by bogie frames supported for vertical movement and also for tilting movement relative to a plane defined by the axes of the end wheels. The bogie frames are urged or biased downwardly against the lower run of the belt by compression members extending from the main frame and preferably in the form of annular rubber spring members.

A track assembly for providing traction to an off-road vehicle, such as an agricultural vehicle, a construction vehicle, or another work vehicle, in which the track assembly may comprise a suspension between a frame of the track assembly and a bogie carrying roller wheels of the track assembly.

A suspension assembly for a machine is provided. The suspension assembly includes a first suspension structure and a second suspension structure. The first suspension structure includes a first suspension pad and a first support plate coupled to the first suspension pad. The first support plate has a first interlock component formed therein. The second suspension structure includes a second suspension pad and a second support plate coupled to the second suspension pad. The second support plate has a second interlock component formed therein. The second interlock component is complimentary to the first interlock component and configured to engage with the first interlock component.

A support structure having at least one connecting member, a shaft, at least one axle transversally connected to the shaft and at least one resilient member for connecting the at least one support wheel assembly to a frame of a track system is disclosed. The at least one resilient body defines an aperture, in which one of first and second portions of the shaft is received, and has an inner portion that is fixedly connected to the one of first and second portions and an outer portion that is fixedly connected to the at least one connecting member. Upon resilient deformation of the at least one resilient member, the shaft is rotatable, and the at least one axle is pivotable, about the longitudinal axis. The at least one resilient body biases the shaft toward an initial position upon rotation thereof. A track system having the support structure is also disclosed.

A suspension device for a track loader and a track loader having the same are provided that are capable of releasing the shocks applied to a body and minimizing the pitching of the body generated during the work and driving of the track loader to prevent the body from being damaged, reducing a driver's fatigue, and enhancing the workability and rising comfort of the track loader.

A track wheel suspension for a construction machine is provided comprising a track wheel engageable to a track, a swing device, a swing bar and a restraining mechanism for at least restraining a movement of the swing device about a swing axis in at least a first direction.

A track wheel suspension for a construction machine is introduced. The track wheel suspension comprises a track wheel engageable to a track and a swing device comprising a first coupling portion. The first coupling portion is arranged for rotatably supporting the track wheel. Furthermore, the track wheel suspension comprises a swing bar with a first bar end which is arranged for being mounted to a second coupling portion of the swing device. The swing bar provides a swing axis which is offset from a rotation axis of the track wheel such that a swing movement of the swing device enables a movement of the track wheel in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis.

A track assembly includes an elongated main frame supported for pivotal movement on a transverse axis and having opposite end portions supporting a set of end wheels. An endless flexible belt extends around the end wheels and has an upper run and a lower run for engaging the ground. A plurality of longitudinally spaced bogie wheels are positioned below the main frame and engage the lower run of the belt.
