The Price Of Rubber Tracks
Running a salvage yard is expensive and you often need heavy machinery to move vehicle around. If you are luck enough ot have hard surfaces throughout then the typical large forklift can handle most things, but on uneven ground then something with rubber tracks is likely to be safer. The downside is they tend to move much slower, so from a productivity side of things they are not always the best options. But from a piont that you can buy new rubber tracks as and when you need them, does help.
But don’t be fooled these rubber tracks are not always cheap and as a salvage yard we know bought a tracked machine from auction only to find the rubber tracks he needed was so expensive he had paid too much for the excavator. Should have jut bought one second hand with the rubber tracks already in place.
So they live and learn, but then come the different options of rubber tracks, and the difference in price they all charge. Of course every supplier states that their product is the best and will last the longest time etc, etc. Easy for a professional to say, but difficult for salvage yards who business is auto auctions not heavy machinery. One place to get good advice is from Mini Max Parts for smaller rubber tracks, they gave good advice and a good price. I known it is an advert, but they did help.
