Mobile Track Solutions

What Mobile Track Solutions does

Mobile Track Solutions (MTS) is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer of construction-grade earthmoving equipment founded in 2009 and headquartered in Elkader, Iowa. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and assembles its products in-house across more than 160,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space, producing wheeled and tracked tractors, truck-towed gooseneck scrapers, tractor-towed straight-tongue scrapers, and towed implements such as disk gangs and rollerblades. All tractors are powered by Caterpillar components, including the Cat C18 engine and Cat TA22H transmission, and the equipment integrates with the CAT Inspect App for fleet management. The portfolio spans the 3630 family of tractors, the new 3775 tractor and 3630 Duplex Drive introduced at CONEXPO 2026, gooseneck scrapers up to the MT-42XL, and rollerblade compaction products.

Manufacturing is supported by capital-intensive systems including a Cloos robotic welder (1,860 sq ft footprint, 22,000 lb weldment capacity, 55 lbs of weld wire per hour), a Kinetic K5000 beveling system, an automated paint kitchen, and a Doosan lathe. The company employs 225+ people, having grown from fewer than 50 at founding.

MTS distributes exclusively through a network of 23+ Caterpillar dealers across the United States and Australia, providing parts, service, and warranty support through dealer locations plus a 24/7 EZ Parts online portal. End customers are commercial construction contractors requiring specialized earthmoving equipment for site preparation, scraper-based dirt moving, and haul road maintenance. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of new and used equipment via the dealer channel, supplemented by parts and service. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing leverages a multi-channel approach including the MTS in Motion blog, active social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok), major trade show participation (CONEXPO-CON/AGG), the BuildWitt Dirt Talk podcast, and community engagement events such as Experience Manufacturing Day.
