Overview In 1937, the United States adopted the M2 non-armored half tracked vehicle chassis and the M3A1 reconnaissance vehicle body to make the T7 vehicle. After the T7 vehicle was shaped, it was called the M2 half tracked vehicle. In 1939, the M3 half tracked vehicle was developed. The body of the car is slightly longer than that of the M2, so that it has greater bearing capacity. In 1940, Ardmore Motors, Diamond T Motors, and White Motors signed a contract for the production of a half-tracked vehicle with the Army. These vehicles use White's 160AX gasoline engine, Spicer's transmission and the Timken-Deroit axle. In order to further expand production, UW Harvester also produced the M9 and M5 half-track vehicles, which use many of the company's auto parts, but their performance is comparable to that of the M2 and M3 parts. By 1944, the United States had continuously produced 42,000 semi-track-type vehicles. In the Second World War, a large number of allied forces were equipped. In the 1967 and 1973 wars, Israel also made heavy use of half-track vehicles. The power of its current half-track vehicles has been converted into General Motors (GMC) 6V-53 diesel engines (128kW/2800r/min). Because of the shortcomings of half-track vehicles, the United States Army has replaced it with a full-crawler armored personnel carrier at the end of the 1940s.


Structural Features The half-track vehicle adopts a traditional overall layout with the engine at the front, three occupants centered and the crew room behind. In order to facilitate the vehicle to cross the trench, a round roller is installed in front of the car, and some vehicles use a winch with a pulling force of 44.5 kN instead.
All types of half-track vehicles use standard automotive components. The only difference is the engine. M2 and M3 and their variants use White's 160AX water-cooled gasoline engine, while M5 and M9 and their variants use the IWC's water-cooled gasoline engine. The front of the powerhouse is armored shutters that protect the radiator and can be operated in the cab.
Transmissions include mechanical 4-speed gearboxes, 2-speed gearboxes, cardan shafts, full-floating axle shafts, and automotive front and rear axles. The steering of the vehicle is steered with a steering wheel. With foot brake and hand brake.
The body is semi-open type and is made of rolled steel plates that are connected by screws. In front of the occupant's compartment is a windshield made of 12.7mm thick unbroken glass that can be removed during combat and the armored front window with two observation holes is lowered. The doors on both sides can be opened forward. The upper part of the side door has a viewing hole protected by a sliding cover. To expand the field of vision, the upper half of the door can be opened outward.
There is a door to the right in the back of the passenger compartment. If necessary, a bow bracket and a canvas cover can be placed on the top of the passenger compartment. The front of the loading room is equipped with a machine gun holder, but different types of vehicles are equipped. The M2 and M2A1, M9 and M9A1 vehicles have two 12.7mm machine guns, M3 and M5 only have one 7.62mm machine gun, and the M3A1 and M5A1 each have one 7.62mm and 12.7mm machine gun.
The front track of the half-track vehicle adopts a multi-layered reinforced tire with built-in ballistic packing. Each of the two tracks has a driving wheel and an inducer with tensioning device. There are 8 small weight wheels. The driving force of the driving wheel is directly transmitted by the half shafts. Track suspension is a spiral spring linkage. Use non-slip plastic track.
All kinds of half-track vehicles are capable of floating without water, and there are no three defense devices.

Steel Barricades

Construction iron horses are also called iron horses, construction iron fences, construction fences, municipal iron horses, etc., and their heights are basically 1.0 and 1.2 meters. It is mainly used to isolate roads and buildings from the crowd during construction.

We often see that there is nothing in the middle of some urban roads, and some vehicles will turn around and turn at will, posing a great threat to traffic safety. Since the appearance of the municipal iron horse guardrail, it has been very good to prevent this from happening. At the same time, for the municipal department, it can make the work very simple.
Why do you say this? The main reason is that the current municipal iron horse guardrails can well meet the needs of road safety, and to a large extent, can regulate traffic safety. In addition, there are various types of iron horse guardrails, so when the municipal company is carrying out construction, no matter what kind of road it is and what kind of guardrails it needs, it can make certain choices according to its own needs. Because of what materials and specifications of guardrails can exist, it can also provide more options for municipal companies.
Therefore, the iron horse guardrail can not only ensure the safety of people's road traffic, but also provide more convenience for municipal work. It is also because of such an iron horse guardrail that our lives can become better.
