ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a crawler in which, due to alteration of a shape of rubber projections which mesh with a sprocket, even when earth, sand and the like has been deposited at an inner peripheral surface of the crawler, damage to the concerned rubber projections will not be incurred. It is a core-less crawler track at an inner peripheral surface of which rubber projections for driving are formed with a certain pitch. In side view, the rubber projections form a substantially triangular shape provided with a drive side inclination surface Pa and a brake side inclination surface Pb. The inclination surfaces of this rubber projection are divided into the drive side inclination surface Pa and the brake side inclination surface Pb. Steps D are formed at both the inclination surfaces. Base side (bottom step) inclination angles X are set with an inclination angle XB of a brake side inclination surface Pba larger than an inclination angle XA of a drive side inclination surface Paa, and top side (top step) inclination angles Y are set with an inclination angle YA of a drive side inclination surface Pab larger than an inclination angle YB of a brake side inclination surface Pbb.
