Most of us are used to 4 wheels to get from A to B, but in heavy industry or businesses that work in muddy or rough areas of land, it is the rubber tracked vehicle that can be the only vehicle that moves and gets the job down. Rubbers tracks do what the tradition steel and iron ones did on tanks throughout the wars, except that are cheaper easier to fit and more versatile. Being made of rubber, there is of course limitation to what vehicles these can be fitted to. But this still leaves a huge range of rubber tracked variations to help businesses. Using the ski slopes of the world as an example from France to Canada. The trucks that clear the snow every night and transport equipment and people up the slopes are nearly all run on rubber tracked vehicles. Avoiding heavy track is the solution to successful snow transportation and rubber tracked vehicles falls in to this category easier than other tracks made from other materials. An efficient building site will nearly always rely on vehicle fitted with rubber tracks. You have to ask yourself what kind of vehicle offers the same flexibility than one fitted with rubber tracks. Wheels just don’t cut it, they dig in and get stuck and because the weight is not spread across a large area, tend to difficult to steer as well. For farmers who work in fields the 4×4 all wheel drive car will get them to where they want to be, but when it comes to harvesting, then that is another matter. Many combine harvesters are now fitted with rubber tracks, first to get through what could be muddy ground, but second these rubber tracks do not hurt the field as much as tires that dig into the ground or metal based tracks. Outside of these business, the normal person is probably unaware of how vehicles fitted with rubber tracks helps supply them with food types, their winter holidays and even helped get the house they are living in, get built faster.
