Noun

1. A [[track]] in the form of a metal or flexible belt fitted around a number of wheels to engage the [[substrate]], giving a broader contact with the ground surface, and accordingly to maximise [[traction]] and reduce any tendency to sink surfaces. Continuous tracks commonly are designed for relatively heavy vehicles used mainly under off-road conditions; examples include [[crawler]]s, [[bulldozer]]s, [[excavator]]s, [[loader]]s, [[backhoe]]s, and military [[tank]]s.
