HW60 6-Ton Crawler Excavator Track Width Guide: 40cm vs 60cm — Which to Choose
The HW60 6-ton crawler excavator ships with a choice of two track widths, and the right one depends entirely on your ground. This guide explains the difference between the 40cm standard track and the 60cm wide track, and helps you pick the setup that keeps your machine productive instead of stuck.
Two Track Options for the HW60 (6-Ton Class)
| Track Option | Best For | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 40cm Tracks (Standard) | Tight job sites, narrow trenches, compacted or hard ground | Lower cost, easier transport, better maneuverability in confined spaces |
| 60cm Tracks (Wide) | Soft soil, muddy conditions, rice-field projects | Significantly lower ground pressure; no sinking on uneven terrain |
Both configurations are kept in stock at our Tangerang warehouse, so you can pick the right setup without waiting weeks for a custom order.
When to Choose 40cm Standard Tracks
- Hard, compacted ground: Urban builds, roadside work, and sites with firm footing.
- Narrow trenches: The narrower stance fits confined excavation spaces.
- Transport & cost: Easier to move between sites and lower upfront cost.
When to Choose 60cm Wide Tracks
- Soft soil & mud: Where standard tracks would sink, the wide stance spreads weight and stays on top.
- Rice-field & agriculture projects: Low ground pressure protects wet, worked land.
- Uneven terrain: Better stability on slopes and broken ground.
How to Decide
- Look at your worst site, not your best. If even part of your work is soft or muddy, the 60cm track pays for itself by avoiding recoveries.
- Factor in transport. If you relocate often on good roads, the 40cm option is simpler to move.

常见问题解答
What track options are available for the HW60 excavator?
Two: 40cm standard tracks and 60cm wide tracks. Both are kept in stock.
When should I choose 40cm tracks?
For tight job sites, narrow trenches, and compacted or hard ground - they cost less, transport easier, and maneuver better in confined spaces.
When should I choose 60cm tracks?
For soft soil, muddy conditions, and rice-field projects where standard tracks would sink. The wide stance gives significantly lower ground pressure.
What is the ground-pressure difference?
The 60cm track spreads the machine's weight over a wider footprint, lowering ground pressure so it stays on top of soft or uneven terrain instead of sinking.
Can I choose the track width when ordering?
Yes. Both configurations are in stock at our Tangerang warehouse, so you get the right setup without a custom-order wait.
Does the track choice affect price much?
The 40cm standard track is the lower-cost option. For exact pricing, contact JetsMeta - we do not publish prices online.
Which track is right for my site?
If any part of your work is soft or muddy, choose 60cm. If you work mainly on hard ground and relocate often, 40cm is simpler. See both in person to decide.
