Crawler Dozers

Buy used crawler dozers

Crawler dozers are, as the name suggests, tracked bulldozers. Thanks to the tracks, these types of bulldozers are ideal for work in rough terrain, because the tracks distribute the weight of the bulldozers well and provide more grip. 

Bulldozers are mainly used for flattening terrains, or excavating and raising canals and dikes. Crawler dozers are very suitable for this type of job, as the blade can move large amounts of sand at the front.

Crawler dozers are generally not the fastest vehicles. If you are looking for a bulldozer that moves up to three times faster than a crawler dozer, you should take a look at our range of wheeled dozers.

Bulldozer or wheel loader?

For many people, a bulldozer and a wheel loader (also called a shovel) will look very similar, but there is a fundamental difference between the two types of vehicles. A wheel loader has a movable blade, which allows this type of vehicle not only to move material on the ground, but also to lift material. A bulldozer does not have this possibility.
