1. Chassis Structure & Terrain Adaptability
Chassis Design: Crawler tracks with wide surface area, minimizing ground pressure.
Terrain Adaptability:
Excels in extreme terrains (e.g., mud, sand, soft soil, steep slopes, snow).
Superior stability for prolonged work on uneven or loose ground.
Risks damaging paved surfaces (e.g., asphalt, concrete); requires protective measures.
Chassis Design: Four-wheel drive, rugged all-terrain tires, high ground clearance, often with differential locks.
Terrain Adaptability:
Effective on unpaved surfaces (e.g., gravel, grass, fields); struggles in deep mud or very soft soil.
Balances off-road capability with faster movement for versatile applications.
2. Mobility & Transfer Efficiency
Slow travel speed (<5 km/h); requires trailer for long-distance transport.
Suited for static, continuous operations in fixed areas (e.g., early-stage construction).
Higher self-propelled speeds (15-25 km/h), enabling rapid on-site relocation.
Ideal for dynamic tasks needing frequent repositioning (e.g., utility inspections, multi-site repairs).
3. Typical Applications
Construction: Unpaved, unstable sites (e.g., earthworks, foundations).
Emergency Rescue: Post-disaster zones (e.g., floods, earthquakes).
Industrial: Muddy or soft surfaces in refineries, shipyards, or chemical plants.
Forestry/Mining: Loose terrain in logging, quarries, or remote mines.
Utility Maintenance: Power lines, telecom repairs in rural or remote areas.
Municipal Projects: Installations in parks, trails, or mountainous regions.
Agriculture/Filming: Flexible tasks on farms, vineyards, or rugged film sets.
Rapid Response: Multi-site repairs (e.g., post-storm infrastructure recovery).
4. Additional Differences
Tracked: Higher reach (40-60+ meters), greater load capacity for heavy equipment.
Rough-Terrain: Moderate reach (20-35 meters), prioritizes mobility over capacity.
Tracks may damage paved or delicate surfaces; require mats or restricted use.
Tires are less invasive, suitable for mixed terrains.
Tracked: Higher purchase, maintenance, and transport costs due to complex track systems.
Rough-Terrain: Lower costs, easier maintenance, better fuel efficiency.
Tracked: Better traction and stability on slopes; limited turning radius.
Rough-Terrain: Agile, with tighter turning for confined spaces.
5. Selection Guide
Choose Tracked: Extreme, unstable terrains; high-reach, heavy-load tasks; or large-scale, static projects.
Choose Rough-Terrain: Moderate off-road conditions; frequent relocation; cost-sensitive operations.
