What type of land vehicle is associated with the brands Field Marshall of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire and Track Marshall who produce earthmoving equipment and were active during WWII building tanks?
Track Marshall Track Marshall was a brand of earthmoving equipment who were active during WWII building tanks. Later, they produced a range of crawler tractors, based on the wheeled tractor "Field Marshall" brand. In 1956 the first Track Marshall bulldozer model was introduced and later the Challenger 3 followed by the Challenger 33, the "TM55" and also the successful six-cylinder "TM70" (probably equivalent to a Caterpillar D5). They also built the TM 955 track loader (a "drott") and also a range of rubber tracked bulldozers. The company was in business for some 50 years, eventually closing in 1990 after new machines replaced older technology.
Tank A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat, with heavy firepower, strong armour, and tracks providing good battlefield maneuverability. The first tanks were designed to overcome the deadlock of trench warfare; now they are a mainstay of modern ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat.
