What Is a Dozer? Types, Uses, and How They Work
Dozers are tracked machines built to move soil, debris, and other materials quickly and efficiently. They are essential for grading, clearing, and earthmoving projects of any size. Rocrents offers a fleet of dozers from major brands to keep your project running smoothly.
How Do Dozers Work?
Dozers combine features that make tough terrain manageable:
- 6 Way Blade: Steel blade for pushing, stacking, and spreading material for precise grading, as well as clearing or site preparation.
- Heavy Duty Steel Undercarriages with LGP models available: Wide track (LGP) equipped models allow work in more challenging conditions such as soft or wet sites
- Rear Ripper (Select models equipped): Breaks up compacted materials or virgin hard ground
- TRIMBLE Machine Control: We now have Komatsu D39PX and D51PX dozers that are wired up and ready for the latest TRIMBLE machine control systems, allowing you to rent the control system from Trimble or utilize your own.
These features allow dozers to tackle tasks efficiently and safely, even in challenging conditions.
Jobs Dozers Handle Well
