1. Product overview
Quick answer: MAGEON MG050 is a 0.5-ton rubber track crawler undercarriage with a 150 mm track width and a 1200 mm frame length. It is built to the host machine's mounting interface rather than selected from a catalogue, and every assembly ships with material traceability and a video outgoing inspection.
The micro tonnage class covers machines below 1.5 tons where chassis self-weight directly consumes the useful payload. Every gram saved on the frame returns as carrying capacity, so the design goal here is structural stiffness at minimum mass rather than maximum material.
MG050 is a 0.5-ton rubber track chassis with a 150 mm track width and a 1200 mm frame length. Compared with the model below it in the series the frame grows by 0 mm in length and the track widens by 0 mm, which is the usual upgrade path when the machine gains payload or works on softer ground.

3. Design features
Compact Frame, Maximum Payload Headroom
A laser-cut and CNC-braked frame keeps the steel profile tight while retaining bending stiffness. On a 1-ton chassis this is the difference between a usable excavator and one that can only dig shallow trenches.
Heat-Treated Running Gear
Track rollers and idlers are quench-hardened alloy steel with surface hardness tuned for abrasive soil. On micro machines the roller diameter is small, so bearing longevity depends on seal quality more than on size.
Long-Life Lubrication Design
Sealed bearing cavities with extended lubrication intervals cut daily greasing from the maintenance routine. For a machine that spends its life in a nursery, orchard or greenhouse, fewer service points means more working hours.
Steel or Rubber Track Choice
The same frame accepts steel or rubber track plates. Rubber protects paving and turf for landscaping work; steel survives rock and rubble on utility jobs. One chassis, two duty profiles.
4. Typical machine applications
Common machine types matched to this class:
· Micro excavators
· Geological drilling rigs
· Small transport vehicles
· Orchard and greenhouse machinery
· Turf and landscaping equipment
· Mini piling machines
5. Series overview
The Micro Crawler Undercarriage series covers 3 models from MG050 to MG100. The table below lists the full series so the MG050 can be positioned against adjacent tonnage classes before a specification is fixed.
| Model | A Length (mm) | B Centre Distance (mm) | C Overall Width (mm) | D Track Width (mm) | E Height (mm) | Track Type | Bearing (Ton) |
|---|
| MG050 | 1200 | 900 | 900 | 150 | 300 | Rubber | 0.5 |
| MG080 | 1240 | 940 | 900 | 180 | 300 | Rubber | 0.8 |
| MG100 | 1380 | 1080 | 1000 | 180 | 320 | Rubber | 1 |
6. Dimension reference
The A/B/C/E dimensions above define the chassis envelope and D defines ground contact width. A longer A improves stability and reduces frame bending under load; a wider D lowers ground pressure but widens the machine. Both are selected against the host machine's weight distribution and its installation envelope, not against the catalogue.
7. Selection notes for this tonnage
· On micro tonnage the chassis self-weight typically consumes 25-30% of the machine weight, so a heavier frame directly reduces digging depth and reach.
· The drive sprocket is the most common wear item on micro machines because the small sprocket pitch concentrates torque on fewer teeth.
· Track tension on micro chassis must be checked more frequently, not less — small idler travel means tension changes translate quickly into slack.
8. How a custom order is executed
| Step | Description |
|---|
| Requirement assessment | Confirm machine weight, mounting dimensions, travel speed and duty conditions |
| Engineering and drawing | Define frame dimensions, track specification, drive package and interface control |
| Component matching | Select hydraulic motor, travel gearbox, sprocket, rollers and idlers |
| Manufacturing and inspection | Build to the approved specification with inspection before dispatch |
| Delivery | Wooden pallet or steel pallet packaging, ocean, air or land transport |
9. Frequently asked questions
Q1: What is the difference between MG100 and MG150?
A: MG100 carries 1 ton on a 1380 mm frame with a 180 mm track, while MG150 carries 1.3-1.5 tons on a 1550 mm frame with a 200 mm track. The MG150 has a 170 mm longer frame and a 20 mm wider track, which raises both stability and ground contact.
Q2: Can MG050 be used with a hydraulic motor?
A: Yes. All MG micro models accept hydraulic, electric or mechanical drive. The drive package is matched to the machine weight and travel speed, not to the model number.
Q3: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: One set. A prototype or first production run carries no batch penalty.
10. Customization and OEM service
MAGEON supplies the MG050 class as a complete assembly and accepts customer drawings or measured samples for interface-controlled builds. The following parameters are configurable within the model envelope:
· Track width and frame length adjusted to the machine envelope
· Drive type: hydraulic, electric or mechanical
· Travel gearbox: single-speed or dual-speed
· Integrated slewing bearing for 360-degree upper-structure rotation
· Custom mounting flange, bolt pattern, drive shaft height and hydraulic interface
· Colour: black or specified
Next step: send the machine weight and load distribution, the mounting interface dimensions, the required travelling speed, the ground conditions and the drive configuration, and MAGEON returns a configuration and price within one working day of a technical enquiry.
