Bulldozer is a caterpillar or wheeled tractor with an attached working organ. It is used in various industries: construction, logging, agriculture, mining and others. Necessary when carrying out work on levelling the ground, backfilling trenches.
The efficiency and result of the work of special equipment depends on a competent choice. To get it right, you need to know what types of bulldozer there are and what makes them different.The most common types of machines are:
- standard
- caterpillar;
- mini-models.
The most suitable option is chosen taking into account the type of terrain, the specifics of the activity, the size of the working area and the type of material to be moved. The equipment must meet the company’s requirements as far as possible.
Standard bulldozers
This type of special equipment is common in construction, logging. Standard models are fitted with a mouldboard, which is used to lift and move the soil.As a rule, standard bulldozers are wheeled. Such equipment is convenient to operate and carry out work on soft soil, sensitive surfaces. Can be used on hard surfaces, e.g. asphalt, concrete. The standard model allows you to solve tasks that require mobility and versatility.When choosing a tractor, the width of the implement and the power of the engine must be taken into account.
Caterpillar
The distinctive feature of this type of bulldozer is the presence of a tracked chassis, which provides it with good manoeuvrability.
The crawler tractor will be an ideal solution for terrain where good traction is required. The equipment is in demand in construction, road industry. Used for demolition of old buildings, removal of building rubble.
Crawler bulldozers vary in size: from 10 to 120 tonnes.
Mini models
These are compact tractors, ideal for working in confined spaces and on small plots. They are smaller than standard models, making them easier to manoeuvre.Mini bulldozers are used everywhere: in agriculture, municipal services, construction and industry. Despite their compact size, they can perform complex tasks: moving soil, clearing roads, digging excavations and others.
The fundamental criteria for choosing a mini bulldozer are weight, engine power, traction class.Japanese bulldozers, characterized by reliability, power and long service life, have proved themselves well. Specialized companies provide services for delivery of mini special equipment from Japan in a short time. Today bulldozers of KOMATSU, SHANTUI, HYUNDAI, HITACHI brands are on the list of special equipment of many companies.
