Hitachi ZX240 Excavator Triple Grouser Track Shoe Assembly Forged 23MnB Steel

The ZX240 track shoe assembly is a running gear replacement built for Hitachi ZX240 and ZX330 excavators, the workhorses of many mid-size fleets in infrastructure, housing and utility construction. Track shoes on these machines carry the full digging reaction of the front attachment, so material choice and heat treatment decide how long the undercarriage keeps its grip before the shoe profile wears thin.

YT produces this shoe as a hot forged 23MnB boron steel part with a triple grouser tread, laid out on a 190 mm pitch and a 700 mm width that matches common Hitachi chain configurations. The mounting holes copy the original hole pattern, so the shoe drops onto the existing links and is secured with standard track bolts without any frame modification.

Main Parameters

The models above are just for reference, we can't list all models here. we can supply more products as your requirements. Please feel free to send us your inquiry.

• We purchase the raw materials from famous steel group, ensures the high quality of our track shoes.
• All the track shoes are subject to through hardening processes with spray quenching technique and tempering processes.
• Strict quality control from raw material, design, technology, manufacturing for the entire process of detection.
• We can produce any requested parts according to your blue print or samples.

• Single piece forging: The complete shoe including the grouser bars is forged from one 23MnB blank, avoiding welded-on bars that can detach under side loading.
• Hardened tread surface: The top of each grouser bar is induction hardened to a wear resistant state while the base of the shoe remains tough and crack resistant.
• True 190 mm pitch spacing: CNC drilled holes keep the pitch exact so the shoe never pulls the chain out of square during high torque travel.
• Effective self cleaning: The triple bar layout sheds packed soil between the bars, keeping the track footprint clear in clay and loam conditions.
• Consistent bolt seating: Counterbores are machined flat and square so bolt heads seat evenly and torque readings stay reliable during installation.
• Batch traceability: Each heat of steel carries a code that links the finished shoes back to the material certificate for full quality traceability.

The data presented here reflects standard YT production for this Hitachi shoe family and is provided as reference only. Always compare the pitch, width and hole spacing against a shoe removed from your own machine before placing an order.

* Values are reference; OEM part number confirmation advised before ordering.

1. Material certification check: incoming 23MnB steel bars are verified by optical emission spectroscopy and matched to the mill certificate.
2. Billet heating: bars are cut to forging length and heated in a controlled furnace to the proper forging window.
3. Hot die forging: the heated blank is formed in closed dies, producing the shoe profile with grouser bars and bolt pads in a single blow sequence.
4. Normalizing: forgings are normalized to refine grain size and remove forging stress before machining.
5. Heat treatment: quench and temper cycles set the mechanical properties of the shoe body for impact resistance.
6. CNC drilling and milling: pitch holes, bolt holes and seating faces are produced on CNC machining centers.
7. Induction hardening: the grouser crowns are hardened and then tempered back to the target surface hardness.
8. Final verification: pitch, width, flatness and hardness are recorded for every batch; samples are kept for reference.
9. Rust protection and packing: cleaned shoes are primed, bundled and strapped onto export pallets.

XIAMEN YINTAI MACHINERY CO., LTD. (YT) was established in 2011 as a manufacturer and exporter of excavator and bulldozer undercarriage parts and has grown into a supplier with 50-100 employees and annual sales between USD 10 and 20 million. Export markets absorb roughly 90-100 percent of production, supplying dealers, rental fleets and maintenance workshops across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.

The factory runs its own forging line, CNC machining department and heat treatment workshop, which means the critical steps that determine shoe quality are never subcontracted. A dedicated quality team applies the ISO 9001:2015 system, performs first article inspection on new molds, and welcomes SGS or any third-party inspection before shipment. OEM and ODM orders are supported, including custom grouser styles and private label packing.

• Urban and road construction fleets: Contractors running Hitachi machines on utility and road jobs get a shoe that balances wear life with smooth travel over finished surfaces.
• Rocky terrain operations: The impact resistant forged body and hardened bars reduce breakage and premature wear when digging in decomposed rock and shot rock.
• Used machine refurbishment: Importers rebuilding used ZX240 or ZX330 units can fit a complete YT undercarriage to raise the resale value of the machine.
• Multi-brand fleet consolidation: YT covers several major brands with the same pitch standards, letting fleet managers consolidate purchasing through one supplier.
• Local stock programs for dealers: Distributors can set up consignment stock of popular widths and call off replenishment as sets are sold.

The ZX240 track shoe assembly is intended for general construction, road widening, drainage works, building foundation excavation and material handling where Hitachi 24 to 33 ton excavators are deployed. The 700 mm triple grouser shoe provides dependable grip on compacted fill and firm natural ground while keeping ground pressure moderate for machines that travel frequently between work fronts. YT can also advise on narrower or wider pads when the application demands a different footprint.

Precision Inspection Services

Q1: Will this shoe fit both ZX240 and ZX330 machines?

The shoe is made for the 190 mm pitch chain family used across these models, but chain link counts and shoe widths can differ between versions. Please confirm the width and link count of your machine so we can match the correct configuration.

Q2: What makes YT shoes different from cheap local alternatives?

YT controls forging, heat treatment and machining in house, tests every heat of steel, and records hardness results per batch. This traceability is hard to find in unbranded supply and protects the buyer from inconsistent material.

Q3: Can you supply bolts together with the shoes?

Yes, grade 10.9 bolts with matching nuts and washers can be included in the same shipment, sized to the M20 hole pattern of this shoe.

Q4: What quantity fits in a container?

A 20-foot container typically holds several hundred shoes depending on width and packing layout. Our logistics team will calculate the exact loading plan for your order quantity.

Q5: Do you provide warranty support for export orders?

Yes, YT offers a 12-18 month warranty against material and workmanship defects, supported by batch records and third-party inspection reports when required.

YT packs these track shoes with anti-rust primer applied to all machined surfaces, separated by wooden spacers and fixed to steel pallets with heavy duty strapping. Every pallet is marked with the part number, quantity and gross weight, and the shipment file includes the commercial invoice, packing list, material certificate and hardness test record. This packing method has been proven in repeated container shipments to ports worldwide with minimal transit damage.
