What Are the Different Types of Blades Used in a Dozer?

What Are the Different Types of Blades Used in a Dozer?

Bulldozers, the heavyweights of construction and mining, are known for their ability to move mountains of soil and debris quickly, but have you ever wondered what gives them this power? In this blog, Tilly's Crawler Parts delves into the diverse world of dozer blades, exploring each type's unique uses and advantages. From levelling to pushing, we'll show you the blades that make it happen.

Straight Blade

Straight dozer blades, also known as S-blades, are the most basic blade type. This blade is best suited for general-purpose grading and levelling. It is also commonly used for backfilling trenches and pushing large amounts of material. The straight blade is made of steel and is attached to the front of the dozer via a pivot point, which allows the blade to be raised or lowered.

A-Blade

The angle blade, also known as an A-blade, is similar to the straight blade, but it is angled at the front. This allows for better penetration and more efficient cutting of material. The angle blade is commonly used for digging and cutting trenches and is often used in mining and road construction.

U-Blade

The U-blade, also known as a universal blade, is a versatile blade that can be used for grading and digging. It is designed with a curved shape that allows it to hold more material and move more efficiently. The U-blade is often used in mining, construction and heavy earth-moving operations.

C-Blade

A combination blade, also known as a C-blade, combines a straight blade and an angle blade. This blade is designed to be used for both grading and digging. The construction of dams, levees and other large earthworks projects usually calls for heavy equipment such as this.
