Heavy duty equipment shim

A heavy duty equipment shim comprising:

• a. a horseshoe member with one or more slits thereon and a void space, such member comprising a first arm and a second arm each with an upper end and a lower end, and a curved section between the first arm and the second arm and the void space is defined by the space to the interior of the first arm, second arm, and curved section, wherein the upper ends of the first arm and the second arm are distal the curved section and the lower ends of the first arm and the second arm are integral with the curved section, and wherein the first arm has positioned thereon one or more slits and the second arm has positioned thereon one or more slits;
• b. a closure member with one or more slits thereon and sized to fit in but not fill the horseshoe member void space, such member comprising a structure with an upper edge and a lower edge and two side edges extending between the upper edge and the lower edge and wherein the lower edge is curved and each of the upper edge, the first side edge, and the second side edge is straight;
• and
• c. one or more securing members wherein the horseshoe member is secured to the closure member by looping the one or more securing members through the one or more closure member slits and the one or more horseshoe member slits, and wherein each of the one or more securing members comprises a four-sided structure with an upper end, a lower end, and two lateral ends wherein each lateral end extends between the upper end and the lower end.

A heavy duty equipment shim comprising:

• a. a horseshoe member with a first and a second slit thereon and a void space, such member comprising a first arm with the first slit thereon, a second arm with the second slit thereon, and a curved section between the first arm and the second arm and the void space is defined by the space to the interior of the first arm, second arm, and the curved section, wherein each of the first arm and the second arm has an upper end and a lower end, wherein the upper ends of the first arm and the second arm are distal the curved section and the lower ends of the first arm and the second arm are integral with the curved section;
• b. a closure member with a first closure member slit and a second closure member slit wherein the closure member is sized to fit in but not fill the horseshoe member void space, such closure member comprising a structure with an upper edge and a lower edge and two side edges extending between the upper edge and the lower edge and wherein the lower edge is curved and each of the upper edge, the first side edge, and the second side edge is straight;
• and wherein the closure member has positioned thereon a gauge slot positioned between the first closure member slit and the second closure member slit;
• c. a plurality of securing members each comprising a four-sided structure with an upper end, a lower end, and two lateral ends wherein each lateral end extends between the upper end and the lower end, wherein the plurality of securing members comprises a first securing member and a second securing member;
• and
• d. wherein the horseshoe member is secured to the closure member by looping (i) the first securing member through the first horseshoe member slit and the first closure member slit and (ii) the second securing member through the second horseshoe member slit and the second closure member slit.
