A rubber belt crawler chain for a vehicle is equipped with chain guiding members which are slidingly guided in one another, are each connected with a cross-piece, and accommodate between one another steel cables of a rubber bearing body surrounding the cross-piece. The cross-piece has two clamping elements forming a receiving device for the steel cables between one another, in which groove-shaped guides for the cables are arranged in one clamping element, and are covered in a web-shaped manner by the other clamping element.
