Can I buy 1 track, or do you only sell in pairs?

We are happy to sell individually or in pairs. We do recommend replacing tracks in pairs to maintain even wear. Another thing to consider is the potential savings on freight from shipping two now versus shipping separately.

What is the current lead time and availability?

DEKK currently runs out of 3 main distribution centres (Sydney, Brisbane, Perth) which means our availability is good. However if we have nil stock but shipments on the way, the average lead time for shipping is 3-4 weeks. If we have to get it manufactured and shipped the lead time is more like 8-10 weeks, and for custom sized tracks the lead time is 12+ weeks.

What is the difference between aftermarket and OEM?

Meanwhile, aftermarket parts are produced by a different parts company and are often designed to be compatible with as many makes and/or models as possible.

What is the better option between rubber & steel tracks?

It really comes down to application and what type of work the machine is doing. Rubber tracks are obviously more diverse as you can work on a wide range of surfaces without damaging the surface condition. Steel tracks will cause damage to asphalt and concrete etc, however they will hold up better in aggressive ground conditions.
