Abstract

An endless crawler track for a tracked vehicle, having particular utility in applications where snow to be traversed by the vehicle is hard or icy, includes low disturbance track cleats that are spaced three to five inches apart and are bolted crosswise to the belting of the track. The cleats are characterized by having a generally triangular oval cross section so that as the belting travels upward from the rear wheel around the drive sprocket at the rear of the vehicle, each cleat emerges from the imprint made in the snow without chunking and flinging of snow. The track features a novel ice calk attached to every third or fourth track cleat for preventing sideways sliding of the vehicle on ice.
