caterpillar tracks cause the tracter to have a larger surface area as this decreases the pressure the tracter exerts on the ground, preventing it from sinking into the soil. if we use the formual pressure=force/surface area. where force is the weight of the tracter, we can see that that the pressure will be less if the surface area is large.:) hope this helped
Caterpillar tracks.
Yes, that statement is generally true.
Caterpillar tracks are knobbly strips of metal or rubber, which wrap around the wheels of tanks, bulldozers and other off road vehicles. They stop the wheels from getting stuck in muddy or sandy ground. This is a very helpful technique.
Larger and multiple tires and tracks keep the vehicles from sinking into the mud by reducing the pressure on the ground by spreading the weight of the vehicle over a larger area.
Battle tanks use tracks to spread their weight on soft ground. Tanks weigh 40+ tons; If they used wheels they would often get stuck. It's the same reason earth moving equipment (bulldozers) use tracks.
Yes. The Caterpillar company makes various sizes of bulldozers, the largest being the D9.
The caterpillar wheel loader is usually used for bulldozers. Being made out of extremely durable rubber and shelled with outer flat cleats to enhance friction, these wheels are best for doing the dirty work that bulldozers are known for doing.
Some well-know bulldozer brands include Caterpillar, Komatsu, John Deere, and Hitachi. However, Tonka is the biggest brand when it comes to toy bulldozers.
The battle tanks have caterpillar tracks instead of tires because the tires cannot manage the weight of the tanks.When area increases pressure decreases .So when caterpillar tracks are used the pressure decreases and the battle tanks can move easily.
Yes it can, using caterpillar tracks.
No, Caterpillar's bulldozers only go up to D11. The Caterpillar D12 was a motor grader, a number of which were adopted into military service by Denmark, among others, and were sold on the civil market.
Caterpillar tracks spread the load much better than plain wheels. This is especially useful - where the machinery is travelling over soft earth, such as on a building site.
