Maintenance Cuts Paver and Milling Machine Costs

To keep road projects on track, and downtime to a minimum, contractors should follow recommended maintenance practices for paver and milling machine undercarriage systems. This includes maintaining proper track tension, regular cleaning and periodic replacement of worn components. Also evaluate the advantages of rubber vs. polyurethane track pads for the application.

Bolt-on polyurethane track pads that mount over the triple grousers - such as these from BLS Enterprises - can save a lot of labor.
