ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an endless elastomeric traction band that is used to propel tracked vehicles. The traction band generally comprises a main body defining an outer ground-engaging surface and an inner wheel-engaging surface. The outer surface is generally provided with ground-engaging traction lugs. The inner surface of the traction band is preferably provided with one or more row of longitudinally aligned guide lugs and one or more rows of longitudinally aligned drive lugs. Additionally, guide lug reinforcements are inserted into said guide lugs and said band body to laterally reinforce the guide lugs and minimize de-tracking occurrences.
