tank tracks
Continuous metal belts
Tank tracks are the continuous metal belts that loop around a tank's wheels, distributing weight across soft or uneven terrain.
The system of interlocking plates allows heavy vehicles to cross mud, sand, and obstacles that would bog down wheeled vehicles.
Tank tracks appear on bulldozers, excavators, and other heavy machinery.
The tank tracks churned up the field as it crossed.
