Is it a bulldozer or a dozer? A bulldozer, also called a dozer, is a heavy-duty construction machine commonly used for sites, mines, quarries, military bases and farms. Among the many uses for a dozer are moving soil, sand, debris, obstacles and clearing roads, bushes and other vegetation. There are different types of dozers, each with its own advantages. In this blog post, Tilly's Crawler Parts explains them in detail.

Crawler Dozers

Crawler dozers are the most common type of dozer and are characterized by their tracks, which provide excellent traction and stability. They are typically used for heavy-duty tasks, such as moving large amounts of dirt and rock and can be used in a wide range of applications, including mining, construction and demolition. Some crawler dozers are also equipped with dozer blades or a ripper attachment, allowing the machine to perform various tasks.

Wheel Dozers

Wheel dozers are similar to crawler dozers, but instead of tracks, they have wheels. These machines are typically smaller and more compact than crawler dozers, making them more mobile and easier to transport from one job site to another. They are often used for tasks such as grading and levelling and can be used in landscaping, construction and demolition.

Track-Type Tractors

Track-type tractors are similar to crawler dozers but are specifically designed for use in harsh environments, such as mining and construction. They are larger and more powerful than other types of dozers and are equipped with different attachments, including blades and rippers, to make them even more versatile.

Motor Graders

Motor graders are specifically designed for grading and levelling tasks. They are typically equipped with a blade that you can adjust to different angles and heights and are often used to prepare surfaces for paving and other construction projects. They are also commonly used for maintaining and improving existing roadways, airports and other surfaces.
