Tracked or wheeled vehicle with skid

摘要

Disclosed is a skid device (100) for a vehicle (1) to facilitate use of the vehicle on soft or boggy ground. The device is operable between a retracted position in which the ground facing surface (10A) is spaced apart from the ground, to enable the vehicle to be driven in normal conditions, and a deployed position in which the device is lowered, to support some of the weight of the vehicle and prevent the vehicle's wheels or tracks (4A,4B) from sinking or digging into the soft ground.
