Mattracks has rolled out two new rubber track conversion systems for compact articulated machines.
The newly released RT60 and RT80 track systems are designed to provide tighter control, smoother ride quality and full functionality in places where standard tires can’t perform.
The two new models join the existing RT125 and RT250, giving Mattracks four RT track systems. The new track systems fit most popular compact articulated models from Bobcat, Kubota, Avant and ASV.
“The RT60 and RT80 were specifically developed to fit tighter wheel wells while maintaining full articulation and control,” said Richard Voeller, Engineer at Mattracks. “They’re built for machines that need to move in small spaces without giving up strength or stability.”
The RT60 and RT80 feature a shorter design and improved shape, giving articulated loaders and pivot-steer equipment better steering control and stronger traction.
This allows operators to make tighter turns, move smoothly over uneven terrain and perform tasks more easily, even indoors, on soft surfaces or in areas where ground protection is necessary.
“The tracks are closer together, which improves steering without sacrificing strength,” Voeller said. “These systems were made to handle pivot-steer and articulated vehicles with confidence.”
The RT60 and RT80 are equipped with a swivel-mounted lower frame and rubber isolation mounts, which help absorb shock and reduce vibration during operation. This setup improves comfort for the operator, improves stability and reduces wear on the machine. Both models use a smooth tread to minimize impact on finished surfaces and improve balance across changing terrain.
All RT models include Mattracks’ exclusive rubber torsion system, allowing the tracks to move naturally with the ground. This increases traction, protects the machine and cuts down on bounce, especially when navigating uneven or unpredictable surfaces.
“It’s all about better contact with the surface and reduced impact on both machine and operator,” Voeller said. “Whether in a building or on muddy terrain, these systems provide reliable traction and a smoother ride.”
The RT60 and RT80 are ideal for compact equipment like screeds, trenchers and small loaders. Each system can be installed easily, helping crews adapt quickly without downtime. All models are tested in extreme environments.
“These weren’t just created to match,” Voeller said. “They were built to meet very real customer needs. We listened to dealers and operators who wanted less vehicle modification, better steering and strong performance in tight spaces and we delivered.”
