Bulldozers are a powerful tracked piece of equipment and 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.
The bulldozer is the work horse on any construction site. The bulldozer is the first piece of equipment on the site and it is the last to leave. It's two main tasks are clearing land and grading. It is designed for cutting, filling, scraping, and shaping.
The Bulldozer has a low centre of gravity and a rugged track system allowing them to safely operate in areas (rough terrain and steep slopes) unsuitable for other pieces of equipment. The bulldozer is essentially a heavy duty tractor with a hydraulically controlled blade, mounted on a C-frame which is the dozer's primary operating component.
