Used Crawler Dozer Overview

Crawlers dozers, usually known as bulldozers, are large vehicles used to quickly move large amounts of loose material. While they can be a bit costly, buyers can save money on their purchase by shopping for used models. If you’re interested in learning more about used crawler dozers, check out this outline from Stribling Equipment. 

Crawler Dozer Features

Crawler dozers are large motorized vehicles that drive around on tracks. The front of a crawler dozer has a large metal blade that can be used to quickly move loose material in huge quantities.

Crawler Dozer Types

While most people lump all crawler dozers together, there’s actually more than one type. For example, smaller dozers used to excavate or grade the soil are called finish grade dozers. Larger models, referred to as production dozers, are used for rougher grading jobs or in areas where there is a lot of material that needs to be moved. 

Terrain Types

The main advantage of having treads rather than wheels is that treads are much better at distributing weight. Weight distribution is very important when it comes to big and heavy vehicles like crawler dozers. This also makes crawler dozers better suited to operating on the kind of uneven and unpaved terrain found on most construction sites. 

Why Buy Used?

Crawler dozers are undoubtedly useful, but they are also somewhat expensive. They also aren’t as versatile as some other types of heavy equipment. That’s why buying a used crawler dozer is a smart strategy. It’s a great way to save money on your purchase of a useful piece of equipment.
