An insert element structure of a track rubber pad, which is connected to a track shoe plate of a caterpillar vehicle by at least one screw member, the insert element structure of the track rubber pad includes a rubber pad, at least one insert element, and at least two fasteners. The rubber pad is detachably connected to the track shoe plate. Each of two ends of the at least one insert element includes at least one hole, wherein the at least one insert element is cladded in the at least one projection of the rubber pad. Each of the at least two fasteners is passed through and disposed in each of the holes of the at least one insert element, wherein each of the at least two fasteners includes an abutting portion, an opening portion and a threaded portion.

In some embodiments, a wear pad comprises a polyurethane pad, a reinforcing member, and at least one first fastener. The polyurethane pad may have a first surface region that is adapted to engage a contact patch between the polyurethane pad and a ground region, the first surface region having a first area. The reinforcing member may be at least partially embedded within the polyurethane pad and have a second surface region that faces the first surface region and to which polyurethane of the polyurethane pad is bonded, wherein a second area of the second surface region is greater than fifty percent of the first area. The at least one first fastener may be associated with the reinforcing member and may be adapted to engage at least one second fastener associated with a grouser plate of a track-type vehicle so as to secure the wear pad to the grouser plate.

A track shoe includes a base plate with a first linear edge perpendicular to a first axis extending along a movement direction. The base plate has a second edge spaced from the first edge and perpendicular to the first axis. A first and second side extend from the first edge to the second edge. One or both of the first or second side include: (a) first continuous curved edge extending from the first edge to the second edge, (b) plural first linear side edges interconnected with at least two of the linear side edges transversely oriented at non-perpendicular angles to the first and second edge; (c) a second curved edge and second linear side edges on opposite sides of the second curved edge, the second linear side edges extending from the first and second edges to the second curved edge; or (d) two or more curved edges without linear edge.

In some examples, a shoe pad for a grouser of a vehicle track defines a slot configured to receive a bracket that is configured to attach the shoe pad to a grouser. For example, a first arm of a bracket may be inserted into the slot and a second arm of the bracket may be configured to contact an interior side of a grouser of a vehicle track to attach the shoe pad to the grouser. In some examples, the shoe pad and the bracket may be held to the grouser with the aid of a bolt, which bolt may not extend through the grouser, but, rather, may merely engage with an exterior side of the grouser. In this way, the shoe pad may be able to be attached to a grouser without requiring one or more holes to be present in the grouser, while still providing a relatively tight fit with the grouser the shoe pad is configured to cover.
