Vehicle used by utility company responsible for maintenance of microwave relay stations in remote mountain areas of Western States must be capable of transporting two or four men and one-half or three-quarters of ton of cargo over snow which is undergoing gradual, but continuous, change of density and grain structure; therefore, consideration must be given to vehicle weight, ground pressures, suspension type, steering method, track cleat design, and overall vehicle weight-size relationships if vehicles are to negotiate successfully wide variety of snow and other surfaces over which they travel.
