When your jobsite is located in swampy grasslands, on rough terrain, or in storm-damaged areas where traditional wheeled equipment would get stuck, track equipment becomes your lifeline. At Custom Truck, we understand that the right track equipment can mean the difference between project success and costly delays.
When Track Equipment is Essential
Storm Response and Emergency Situations are where track equipment truly shines. After hurricanes, floods, or severe weather events, roads may be damaged and terrain conditions extremely challenging. Track equipment allows utility crews to access power lines, clear debris, and restore essential services when wheeled vehicles simply can’t navigate the conditions.
Beyond emergency response, track equipment excels in challenging terrain conditions including muddy construction sites, marshy environments, steep slopes, and soft soil where conventional trucks would sink. For industries like telecommunications, utilities, and construction, this capability is invaluable.
Understanding Your Track Equipment Options
Track Bucket Trucks are perfect for utility line work in difficult terrain. Custom Truck One Source offers units reaching heights up to 210 feet from top manufacturers including Terex, Versalift, Elliott, and National Crane. These machines provide the reach and stability needed for power restoration in storm-damaged areas.
Track Digger Derricks excel at pole setting and underground utility installation where the ground won’t support wheeled equipment. By preventing your equipment from getting stuck, these machines eliminate costly downtime and keep projects on schedule.
Selecting the Right Track Equipment
Assess Your Terrain first. Consider soil conditions, slopes, water presence, and accessibility constraints. Track equipment distributes weight more evenly than wheeled vehicles, providing superior flotation on soft ground.
Define Your Work Requirements including maximum reach, load capacity, project duration, and safety needs. Match these requirements to equipment specifications to ensure optimal performance.
Consider Environmental Factors such as weather conditions, environmental regulations, and ground protection requirements. Track equipment often causes less ground disturbance than wheeled alternatives.
