The invention relates to a crawler-type running gear, especially for excavators with an operating weight of more than 200 tons, the running gear has a
drive wheel (3), a guide wheel (2), a plurality of crawler wheels (4), a plurality of carrier wheels ( 5) and an endless chain formed by a plurality of hingedly interconnected track shoes (7), wherein the drive wheels (3) have laterally projecting tooth profiles (13'), the track shoes (7) ) has vertically projecting teeth (13) extending parallel to each other, which engage into the tooth profile (13') when the track shoe (7) is turned around the
drive wheel (3), wherein the The crawler shoes (7) form separate running surfaces (10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, between the teeth (13) for the crawler wheel (4) and the carrier wheel (5), and for the guide wheel (2) and the driving wheel (3). 11, 12) in such a way that the running surfaces (10) for the track wheels (4) and carrier wheels (5) are substantially rectilinear and for the guide wheels (2) and drive wheels (3) The running surfaces (11, 12) are curved.
