Some dozers also have a ripper device at the rear to loosen up compacted material. You will find bulldozers deployed in all sorts of industries, from quarries and mines to construction sites and even military uses.

Types Of Dozers

Dozers come in either crawler or wheeled configurations. Wheel dozers in particular are great for use on already tampered ground, whereas crawler loaders can take on rougher terrain. With some wheel dozers, the blade has a flat face designed specifically for pushing, but other blade options act more like scoops and can actively lift and dump materials.

The tracks of the bulldozer mean that they can work on the most difficult of terrain and at the same time, their large surface area reduces ground pressure and helps the bulldozer to avoid sinking and becoming trapped on softer ground.

They can also be fitted with even wider tracks to further decrease ground pressure and reduce compaction to the ground surface. The bulldozer's transmission has also been adapted to this tracked system to give excellent traction.
