In our industry, you'll find that there are essentially two rubber track options available to you, and they are:

• Standard Grade (Budget Brands)
• Premium Grade (Prowler ™)

A premium grade rubber track is made of all natural rubber compounds that are blended with highly durable synthetics. A high volume of carbon black make premium tracks more heat and gouge resistant, increasing their overall service life when operating on hard abrasive surfaces. Prowler premium tracks also use continuously wound steel cables embedded deep within the thick carcass to build strength and rigidity. Additionally, our steel cables receive a coat of vulcanized wrapped rubber to help protect them from deep gouges and moisture that could corrode them if not protected.

On the other hand, standard grade tracks use lower amounts of carbon black and higher amounts of synthetics making them less heat and gouge resistant. Standard grade tracks also use spliced or overlapped cables that are known to be weaker than continuously wound cables. These same manufactures generally do not coat the inner cords in vulcanized rubber either. All these differences help keep their production cost down, but won’t provide the same service and protection that a premium grade track would.

Prowler is a Premium Grade Track System, and we utilize a unique manufacturing technique called FST (Flexural Strength Technology) that stands us apart from our closest competitors. The result of FST is a track that has an abrasion resistant outer track circumference and a more flexible, yet resilient inner track circumference. This creates a track that can flex more freely while engaging your undercarriage components, and still maintain its abrasion and gouge resistance as you crawl over hazardous debris.
