• A bulldozer is a crawler (continuous tracked tractor) equipped with
a substantial metal plate (known as a blade) used to push large
quantities of soil, sand, rubble, or other such material during
construction or conversion work and typically equipped at the rear
with a claw-like device (known as a ripper) to loosen densely-
compacted materials.
• The term "bulldozer" is often used erroneously to mean any heavy
equipment (sometimes a loader and sometimes an excavator), but
precisely, the term refers only to a tractor (usually tracked) fitted
with a dozer blade. That is the meaning used here

HISTORY
4
• In 1923, a young farmer named James Cummings and a draftsman
named J. Earl McLeod made the first designs for the bulldozer. A
replica is on display at the city park in Morrowville, Kansas where
the two built the first bulldozer. On December 18, 1923
• Over the years, bulldozers got bigger and more powerful in
response to the demand for equipment suited for ever larger
earthworks.

• Bulldozers can be found on a wide range of sites, mines ( المناجم) and
quarries ( المحاجر) , military bases, heavy industry factories,
engineering projects and farms.

DESCRIPTION
9
• Most often, bulldozers are large and powerful tracked heavy
equipment. The tracks give them excellent ground hold and
mobility through very rough terrain. Wide tracks help distribute the
bulldozer's weight over a large area (decreasing pressure), thus
preventing it from sinking in sandy or muddy ground. Extra wide
tracks are known as 'swamp tracks' or "LGP (low ground
pressure)tracks". Bulldozers have excellent ground hold and a
torque divider designed to convert the engine's power into
improved dragging ability. The Caterpillar D9, for example, can
easily tow tanks that weigh more than 70 tons. Because of these
attributes, bulldozers are used to clear areas of obstacles,
shrubbery, burnt vehicles, and remains of structures.

THE BULLDOZER'S PRIMARY
TOOLS

![Page 11: Bulldozer - Civilium](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb1de72e268c58cd5a5834/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
BLADES
11
• The bulldozer blade is a heavy metal plate on the front of the tractor, used to push objects, and shoving sand, soil and debris.
![Page 12: Bulldozer - Civilium](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb1de72e268c58cd5a5834/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DOZER BLADES USUALLY COME IN
FOUR VARIETIES
12
o A straight blade ("S blade") which is short and has no lateral curve and no side wings and can be used for fine grading.
![Page 13: Bulldozer - Civilium](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb1de72e268c58cd5a5834/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
• A universal blade ("U blade") which is tall and very curved, and has large side wings to carry more material.
![Page 14: Bulldozer - Civilium](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb1de72e268c58cd5a5834/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
• An "S-U" combination blade which is shorter, has less curvature, and smaller side wings. This blade is typically used for pushing piles of large rocks, such as at a quarry.
![Page 15: Bulldozer - Civilium](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb1de72e268c58cd5a5834/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CUSHION DOZER BLADES
15
• Cushion Dozers are used to
push load scrapers or track-type tractors.
• The heavy duty design includes
a wear-resistant center liner plate and
a reinforced cutting edge section.
• Narrow width increases
maneuverability when lining up
for the next pass.
![Page 16: Bulldozer - Civilium](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb1de72e268c58cd5a5834/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
• Blades can be fitted straight across the
frame, or at an angle, sometimes using
additional 'tilt cylinders' to vary the angle
while moving. The bottom edge of the
blade can be sharpened, e.g. to cut tree
stumps

• The ripper is the long claw-like device on the back of the bulldozer. Rippers can come as a single shank/giant ripper) or in groups of two or more (multi shank rippers). Usually, a single shank is preferred for heavy ripping. The ripper shank is fitted with a replaceable tungsten steel alloy tip.
• Ripping rock breaks the ground surface rock or pavement into small rubble easy to handle and transport, which can then be removed so grading can take place.
![Page 21: Bulldozer - Civilium](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb1de72e268c58cd5a5834/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CATERPILLAR
21
• The best known maker of bulldozers is probably Caterpillar in
the USA, which earned its reputation by making tough, durable,
reliable machines.
• Komatsu, JCB and John Deere are present-day competitors.
Although these machines began as modified farm tractors, they
became the mainstay for big civil construction projects, and
found their way into use by military construction units worldwide.
The best known model, the Caterpillar D9, was also used to
clear mines and demolish enemy structures.
![Page 22: Bulldozer - Civilium](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb1de72e268c58cd5a5834/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
• The Caterpillar D9 is a large track-type tractor designed and
manufactured by Caterpillar Inc. Though it comes in many
configurations it is usually sold as a bulldozer equipped with a
detachable large blade and a rear ripper attachment.
• The D9, with 354 kW (474 hp) of gross power and an operating
weight of 49 tons, is in the upper end (but not the heaviest), of
Caterpillar's track-type tractors, which range in size from the D3
57 kW (77 hp), 8 tons, to the D11 698 kW (935 hp), 104tons.
• The size, durability, reliability, and low operating costs have made
the D9 one of the most popular large track-type tractors in the
world.

EXAMPLE

• Determine the average hourly production of a 200 hp
bulldozer (D7) equipped with a straight blade and tilt
cylinder. The soil is a hard packed clay, the grade is 15
percent favorable, and a slot dozing technique is used.
The average haul or push distance is 30 m. The soil
weight is estimated at 1,200 kg/m3 loose, with a load
factor of 0.769 (30 % swell). An inexperienced operated
is used. Job efficiency is 50 min/hour.
