ABSTRACT:
A track construction, provided for tracked vehicles such as tanks, comprises alternate track members and connection members which are connected together by transversely extending connecting pins. The track members each comprise first and second spaced, parallel sets of transversely extending tubular members connected together by a bridging element, the tubular members of each set being axially aligned and spaced apart laterally to form gaps therebetween. The connection members each include a wheel contacting surface, and ground contacting pads are mounted thereto on the opposite side thereof from said wheel contacting surface. The track members also each include a wheel contacting surface and preferably include ground contacting pads or the like, the ground contacting pads of the track members and the connection members being arranged in a longitudinally staggered relationship, intersecting beneath the connecting pins. Preferably, the ground contacting pads associated with the connection members are affixed to detachable parts of those members and are readily replaceable with rigid ground contacting members such as snow cleats or support ribs.
