Chain Track
Patent No. EP3260315 (titled "Chain Track") was filed by Koneosapalvelu Aliranta on Jun 21, 2017. The application was issued on Nov 29, 2023.
Patent Summary
Chain track for forest machines and other vehicles that move on soft terrain like snow or mud. The chain track has a unique grouser shoe design to improve performance on softer ground compared to standard chain tracks. The grouser shoes have a flat contact surface instead of being shaped to match the tire profile. This provides better ground contact and prevents sinking in the center of the track compared to curved shoes. The grouser spacing is also reduced compared to standard tracks to minimize soil displacement between the shoes. This allows the track to better break through soft terrain without pushing up soil.
