Crawler moving system with variable configuration comprising a front axle (6), a rear axle (2) and at least one central axle (4) suitable for transmitting movement to the others through at least one crawler per side. Between the front axle and the central axle and between the rear axle and the central axle respective intermediate axles (3,5) are foreseen that act as a pivot about which such front and rear axles are able to rotate.

The invention claimed is: 1. Crawler moving system with variable configuration comprising a front axle (6), a rear axle (2) and at least one central axle (4) where each axle has a wheel and said wheel is connected to at least one other wheel with a crawler, said crawler being adapted for transmitting movement to the wheels and having at least one crawler per side, wherein said crawler moving system comprises between the front axle and the central axle and between the rear axle and the central axle respective intermediate axles (3,5) that act as a pivot about which said front and rear axles are able to rotate, front and rear bumper axles, each having a wheel (81,82,91,92) which is positioned in contact with the crawlers that connect wheels of the intermediate axles, so as to keep the crawlers in contact with said intermediate wheels when the front and rear axle wheels are rotated and having a first pair of crawlers (71,71′) associated with central (4), front (6) and front intermediate (5) axles, and having a second pair of crawlers (72,72′) is associated with the rear (2), intermediate rear axle (3) and central (4) axles whereby motion is transmitted from such a central axle through a pair of coaxial wheels (41,41′,42,42′) suitable for transmitting the movement to both of the crawlers. 2. System according to claim 1, in which such a rear and front axle (2,6) are fixed to respective rods (23,23′,63, and 63′), one for each wheel, which respectively rotate about an intermediate front axle and intermediate rear axle, so as to allow the wheels of said axles to lift up and lower down with respect to an advancing axis of the vehicle. 3. System according to claim 1, in which said bumper axles each comprise a pair of connecting rods (8,8′,9,9′) suitable for supporting such pairs of wheels (81,82,91,92). 4. System according to claim 1, in which said wheels (81,82,91,92) of the bumper axles can be positioned in contact with such intermediate wheels on opposite sides, so that rods (23,23′,63,63′) can both rotate in the clockwise and anti-clockwise direction with respect to the advancing axis of the vehicle. 5. System according to claim 3, in which said connecting rods are actuated through dedicated actuators, electrical stepper motors and/or electromagnetic devices. 6. System according to claim 1, in which the movement of the rods is carried out through electrical motors directly associated with the front and rear intermediate axles.
