Track Shield 2

technology upgrade for shovels


Track Shield 2

Reduce or mitigate shovel damage with


advanced technology

Dipper to crawler shoe contact can occur when digging in close proximity to the tracks and during the “return to tuck” part of the dig cycle

Repeated dipper-to-track strikes can reduce


crawler shoe life and cause structural cracking and
dipper damage, resulting in unplanned downtime
and increased repair costs.
Track Shield 2 is a suite of control functions
that helps the operator decrease the number or
severity of impacts between the dipper and the
tracks or other parts of the shovel. This solution
calculates the position of the dipper and modifies
controls to mitigate collisions.
