Bulldozers

The term 'bulldozer' is often used for all kinds of earthmoving machines. However, the bulldozer is in fact nothing more than a tractor on caterpillar tracks that moves soil with the aid of a wide bucket or large blade at the front. The bulldozer is therefore also called a 'ground shovel'. The bulldozer almost always works together with other construction machinery. A dumper is necessary for dumping the soil, which the bulldozer can then move and spread

Bulldozers specifications

Capacity

Bulldozers are available from 7 to 40 tonnes, depending on the type of work they are used for. A lot of thrust is needed to push soil material forward. Therefore, a bulldozer has a powerful engine. This enables the machine to move large quantities of sand or other material across the ground surface. The powerful engine also helps the vehicle to drive over difficult surfaces.

Crawler

The tracks give the bulldozer extra stability in swampy, soft or uneven terrains. They ensure that the weight of the bulldozer is distributed over a large surface, so that the vehicle sinks less quickly and has more grip on the ground. The wider the tracks are, the more stable the bulldozer is. A bulldozer with a large weight capacity therefore needs wide tracks.

Shovel

A variant of the classic bulldozer is the shovel. A shovel is often a lot smaller than a bulldozer and runs on pneumatic tyres. It has a movable blade, with which material can also be lifted. Shovels are therefore suitable for small projects, for which the machine can carry out multiple tasks.

Work of bulldozers

The moving and even distribution of sand or soil is often necessary in infrastructure projects, such as road building, canal digging or dike raising. The blade of a bulldozer simultaneously levels the subsoil while pushing the material forward.Bulldozers are therefore extremely suitable for levelling large building sites.You also see them at work preparing asphalt roads or in large construction projects such as ports and airports.Bulldozers are also effective for sweeping away surfaces such as roads.Bulldozers are also useful for demolition work.
