Excavator Travel Devices: Underfoot Torque That Keeps You Moving

Travel devices (sometimes called propel drives) convert hydraulic power into the turning force that drives each track link, propelling your excavator across site. When internal gears wear, bearings fatigue, or seals leak, you’ll notice sluggish crawl speeds, erratic movement, or overheating under load—symptoms that can strand you in the mud and grind your schedule to a halt. VI Equipment stocks complete travel-device assemblies—motor, gearbox, bearings, seals, and hub—engineered for drop-in replacement to restore factory-spec travel torque and keep your machine moving.

Reman & Brand-New Travel Devices for John Deere, Hitachi & Caterpillar

Whether you need the Nabtesco travel motor and planetary gearbox on a Deere 135G, the Rexroth drive on a Hitachi ZX250, or the Kawasaki unit on a Cat 320, we catalogue travel devices by machine model, serial prefix, and OEM part number so matching takes minutes. Reman assemblies are stripped, magna-flux crack-checked, and rebuilt with induction-hardened gears, new tapered-roller bearings, and high-temp multi-lip seals—delivering OEM torque at roughly 60 % of dealer cost. Brand-new aftermarket units feature forged alloy-steel gears, precision-ground shafts, and Viton seal packs, all backed by a 12-month unlimited-hour warranty.

Diagnosing Travel-Device Wear Before You Get Stuck

Listen for whining under load, feel for uneven crawl or track slip, or inspect case-drain oil for metallic sludge—early indicators of gear fatigue or bearing failure. Rising undercarriage oil temps at idle and fluctuating travel pressure under steady throttle also point to internal bypass. Pull the magnetic drain-plug sample or record a short video of the noise and email it to our parts desk; we’ll advise whether a seal-kit refresh, partial rebuild, or full assembly swap offers the best ROI.

In-House Travel-Device Rebuilds: Precision Machining & Dyno Verification

Our Langley gearbox lab turns most travel-device rebuilds in five business days. Housings are line-bored to ± 0.03 mm, gears are lapped to factory tooth-profile specs, and tapered-roller bearings are shimmed to OEM preload. Each unit is run on a 300 hp travel-stand dyno, logging torque, backlash, case-drain flow, and temperature rise at 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, and 100 % load. A printed performance report ships with every device so you know exactly what meets spec before it goes back under your tracks.
