ENGINEERED MOBILITY FOR TRACKED MILITARY PLATFORMS

MENATEK engineers, manufactures, integrates, and validates complete running gear systems for tracked military platforms across multiple weight and mission classes. From individual suspension and drivetrain components to fully integrated systems, each solution is developed around platform-specific load, mobility, durability, and lifecycle requirements.

• Complete system engineering & single-source supply

• Platform-specific design, simulation & integration

• Delivered, tested and battle-proven across multiple tracked platforms

Looking for a running gear solution for your platform? Contact our team to discuss your technical and program requirements.

MENATEK combines decades of component manufacturing experience with system-level engineering to provide complete running gear solutions for tracked military platforms. Our capabilities span suspension, track and tensioning systems, wheel stations, sprocket and idler systems, final drives, and their associated interfaces.

MENATEK’s running gear experience spans globally fielded platforms including M1 Abrams, M2 Bradley, M109, AAV7, M60, M113, Leopard 1, and Leopard 2, supporting both legacy-fleet sustainment and new-generation vehicle programs.

PLATFORM-SPECIFIC ENGINEERING

PLATFORM-SPECIFIC ENGINEERING

Engineered Around the Platform

Vehicle mass, load distribution, suspension travel, wheel-station loads, track geometry, packaging constraints, mobility targets, and operating environment all influence running gear architecture. MENATEK develops platform-specific configurations to achieve the required balance of mobility, durability, ride performance, and system integration.

ADVANCED SIMULATION & SYSTEM INTEGRATION

ADVANCED SIMULATION & SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Digital Engineering Before Building Hardware

Advanced simulation and analytical tools support load-case definition, component sizing, suspension behavior, kinematic evaluation, and system integration before physical validation. Digital engineering enables MENATEK to assess platform-specific operating conditions early in the development process, reduce integration risk, and guide prototype and validation programs.

MANUFACTURING, TESTING & VALIDATION

MANUFACTURING, TESTING & VALIDATION

Built, Tested and Validated

Controlled material selection, manufacturing processes, dimensional inspection, assembly, and product-specific validation are integrated throughout the running gear development process. MENATEK’s in-house test capabilities support load, functional, performance, and lifecycle verification for critical running gear and suspension components before deployment.
