Abstract: A track for a track system has a ground-facing side and a wheel-facing side including lugs having a base and defining a wheel path on which wheels of a track engaging assembly rolls on, the wheel path having first and second track side portions, and an intermediate track portion. When the wheel supports a load smaller than a nominal load, a distance between the base and the ground-facing side is smaller than a distance between the intermediate track portion and the ground-facing side. When the wheel supports a load equal or greater than the nominal load, a distance between the base and the ground-facing side is substantially equal to or smaller than a distance between the intermediate track portion and the ground-facing side. A wheel for a track system is also described. A track system comprising a wheel and a track is also described.

Abstract: An endless track for a track system is disclosed. The endless track includes a carcass and a belting member disposed in the carcass. The carcass is free of reinforcing member, and includes inner and outer surfaces, first and second lateral edges, a plurality of central lugs extending from the inner surface and a plurality of traction projections extending from the outer surface. Each central lug of the plurality of central lugs is longitudinally spaced from one another, and the plurality of central lugs are configured to engage with a driving wheel assembly. The plurality of traction projections is configured to engage with a ground surface, and at least some of the plurality of traction projections defines outer recesses. A track system including the endless track is also disclosed.

Abstract: A track for a vehicle having a plurality of wheels for driving the track on a terrain. The track has an endless elastomeric carcass having a wheel-facing side that is mountable onto the plurality of wheels, and a ground-facing side opposite the wheel-facing side. A plurality of elastomeric traction surfaces is positioned on the ground-facing side. Each of the traction surfaces has a first shape when the track is not mounted onto the plurality of wheels. A plurality of primary load distribution members is positioned transversely and distributed longitudinally in the carcass so as to distribute at least parts of downward wheel forces applied by at least one of the wheels when the track is being driven down onto the wheel-facing side of the carcass into the traction surfaces via flexion of the primary load distribution members.
