Nabtesco has been manufacturing GM travel motors for excavators since 1977. They are designed to be efficient, powerful, compact, and rugged enough to handle the harsh conditions hydraulic excavators face. These track drives combine the reduction gear set, hydraulic motor, parking brake, and counterbalance valve all in one unit. The GM04 models are for mini-excavators, the GM10 is for small excavators, the GM38 is intended for medium-size excavators, and the GM60 is for large excavators.

They also manufacture RG travel motor, which is targeted at meeting the needs of crawler cranes and other heavy track-based equipment. These travel motors include a 3-stage high-speed reducer, built-in parking brake, and 3-stage high-speed reduction. They generate significantly more torque than the GM series.

Compact track loaders (CTLs), crawler carriers, and agricultural machinery may use Nabtesco TH final drive motors. The all-in-one design of the travel motors includes the planetary gear system, hydraulic motor, and parking brake, all in one compact, high-efficiency package. There are two models under this category: the TH06VB, with a rated output torque of 5309 N-m, and the TH07B, with a rated output torque of 6670 N-m.
