They enable the vehicle to move more safely through difficult terrain by pushing aside anything which could snag on the tracks. Ostensibly designed to clear rubble and push wrecked vehicles, vehicle crews tend to use them as improvised weapons. They are cheap and are a common sight throughout the Imperium.
