Abstract
The present invention relates to a rubber crawler including: a joint formed by joining together opposite ends of a crawler body comprising an elastic member shaped like a belt having the opposite ends; and lugs projected at predetermined space intervals along a longitudinal direction of the belt and arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the crawler body. The joint is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the crawler body, as located in a ground non-engaging portion and at different positions with respect to the longitudinal direction of the belt, the ground non-engaging portion defining an area excluding the lugs. In this way, stress acting on the joint is distributed or reduced.
