How do mattracks mount to the wheel?

Answer 1

Mattracks, like all track systems for four-wheeled vehicles, mount in place of the conventional wheel. It's as simple as raising the vehicle off its wheels, removing the wheels and bolting the tracks on to the same studs that hold normal wheel to the vehicles' axles.

In more detail, note that each track has its own frame and that frame is secured to the frame of the vehicle so that the whole track remains on the ground and doesn't start spinning around the axle. For the front, steering wheels, there's an arm from the frame of each front wheel mounted track, to the steering assembly so the track can steer normally.

Mattracks and Camoplast are the main suppliers of vehicle tracks. Mattracks is more oriented to whole track assemblies, Camoplast is a major manufacturer for tracks including vehicles such as snowmobiles. Both work well and have their advocates. No one product has a compelling advantage over the others.
