The invention relates to the field of transport vehicles, and particularly relates to a crawler type transport vehicle. The crawler type transport vehicle comprises a chassis, a running system, a control assembly, an engine and a cargo boom supporting bracket, the control assembly, the engine and the cargo boom supporting bracket are fixed on the upper end face of the chassis, the running system comprises a supporting wheel baffle, traveling motors, supporting wheels, a carrier roller, a guiding wheel and a tension wheel, the supporting wheel baffle is fixed on the lower end face of the chassis, the traveling motors comprise cycloid hydraulic motors and planetary reducers, output shafts of the cycloidal hydraulic motors are in transmission connection with the planetary reducers, output shafts of the planetary reducers are in transmission connection with driving wheels, two driving wheels are arranged on each side, and crawler belts are arranged between the two driving wheels on each side and made of a rubber material. The transport vehicle has high structural strength and good power output environment, and is applied to power system operation and other construction sites where space is small but joint operation is required and large equipment cannot enter, safe and civilized production is achieved, and labor productivity is improved.
