Dozers 2-1Chapter 2DozersDozers (tracklaying crawlers or wheel tractors equipped with a blade) areperhaps the most basic and versatile items of equipment in theconstruction industry. Dozers are designed to provide high drawbar pulland traction effort. They are the standard equipment for land clearing,dozing, and assisting in scraper loading. They can be equipped with rear-mounted winches or rippers. Crawler tractors exert low ground-bearingpressure, which adds to their versatility. For long moves between projectsor within a project, transport dozers on heavy trailers. Moving them undertheir own power, even at slow speeds, increases track wear and shortensthe machine s operational life. DESCRIPTION2-1. A crawler dozer consists of a power plant (typically a diesel engine)mounted on an undercarriage, which rides on tracks. The tracks extend thefull length of the dozer. There are two classifications of military dozers, basedon weight and pounds of drawbar pull.
