An entirely new crawler has been developed based on analysis of how better traction with less travel reduction can be achieved for a crawler tractor. Tractive performance is considerably improved on rock or other hard surfaces. The new crawler shows 30 % higher traction at only 5 % reduction in travel compared with less traction and more travel reduction (20 to 100 % slip ratio) for a conventional crawler tractor, on a concrete surface. In addition, ride is more comfortable and there is less noise from the undercarriage. (Wassmann)
