tracked vehicle

Bulldozer or tank

A tracked vehicle moves on continuous metal or rubber tracks rather than wheels.

Tanks, bulldozers, and snowmobiles are tracked vehicles—the tracks distribute weight across a larger surface area, providing traction on soft, uneven, or slippery terrain where wheels would sink or spin: The tracked vehicle crawled across the muddy construction site.
