Abstract
A crawler-mounted construction machine for executing slope strengthening work on a slope or a crawler-mounted slope traveling machine for carrying construction materials on a slope has shoe links (12) or (107) composed of shoe elements (18) or (113). Each shoe element is provided on its bearing surface with projections (23) or (118) as anti-side slip grousers, in addition to ordinary grousers (19) or (114). The projections (23) or (118) are provided as plate-shaped projections extending in parallel to or at an inclination to the traveling direction and arranged on the shoe links continuously or at intervals in the traveling direction. The height of each projection is set to be greater than that of each ordinary grouser (19) or (114) to prevent the traveling machine from the side slip due to the load acting on the traveling machine during its horizontal travel or work on the slope. The projections are also provided as vertically-elongate columnar projections (200) having a small width in the traveling direction to prevent slope-protecting concrete frames laid on the surface of the slope from the shearing breakage and to reduce the damage of the surface of the slope caused when the t…
