The Caterpillar 235-5974 Top Roller Assembly (Carrier Roller) is a genuine OEM-specification undercarriage component designed for the Caterpillar D6R dozer. This top roller (carrier roller) supports the upper strand of the track chain, reducing track sag and ensuring proper alignment between the drive sprocket and idler.
The D6R is a medium-to-large dozer used in construction, land clearing, heavy dozing, and mining support applications. This carrier roller is manufactured from high-strength alloy steel with induction-hardened tread surfaces for maximum wear resistance.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Top Roller / Carrier Design | Supports upper track chain, reducing sag and vibration |
| Induction-Hardened Tread Surface | Exceptional wear resistance in abrasive conditions |
| Floating / Duo-Cone Seals | Advanced sealing prevents contamination and retains lubrication |
| Precision Bearings | Smooth rotation with minimal friction for extended service life |
| Lightweight Construction (40 kg) | Easier handling during installation |
| D6R Optimized | Specifically engineered for Caterpillar D6R dozer |
| Factory Lubricated | Maintenance-free sealed design |
| Direct OEM Replacement | Guaranteed fit and performance |
