The over-the-tyre rubber track range, called Trackmaster, could be easily installed on any skid steer to improve traction in loose, uneven or unstable ground, the distributor said.

Bearcat regional sales and marketing manager Richard Blacker said Trackmaster offered "all-environment hardiness" that many comparable models lacked because of low or poor grip.

"We have tested the Trackmaster in the most hazardous conditions and they have performed well and shown a high degree of reliability," he said.

"What was also apparent was the low cost of ownership and maintenance required.

"As an all-weather, all-condition track, I think anyone would be hard pressed to go past these rubber tracks."

Trackmaster's fully enclosed flotation surface prevented debris entering openings, while its self-cleaning tread design, low weight and zero tyre-to-track spin were significant features, Bearcat said.
