Bulldozer: its usefulness and various applications

The AvtoTachki team introduces you to the construction machine and gives you tips on how to use it on their blog. The goal is simple: to provide useful and synthetic information in order to better understand the details of the machine or to offer you advice on how to optimize its use. This week Bulldozer is in the spotlight Definition and use of the word Bulldozer

The bulldozer is part of the family of earthmoving and excavating machines, such as the mini-ekavator, pogizhaleroykik.

What is the origin of the bulldozer?

This machine is originally from the USA and was created in the 20th century. In fact, this machine is an agricultural tractor converted for forestry and an agricultural tractor converted for forestry for forestry and forestry. Therefore, it became democratized in America and then in Europe. The bulldozer is becoming more and more powerful and continues to be so thanks to the technical excellence. Bulldozer: Heavy Duty Machine!

Earthmoving machine, bulldozer What French translates to “bulldozer” is a track or tire tractor equipped with at least one front blade that is used to level and move materials.

Bulldozer composition

A bulldozer is a grader mounted on a crawler tractor. It consists of a blade at the front and a ripper tooth (cutter), a scarifier and a winch at the rear. Small critical accuracy in relation to blade, there is at least 3 main types of blade : excavation blade, push blade and forestry blade. The earthmoving tool is a profiled blade carried out by two articulated shoulders , which can be reduced or lifted by the hydraulic mechanism. A job blog will give you a lot of ideas and let you know more about the benefits of this type of machine, such as cutting down part of your garden, leveling the ground, or scraping the soil.

What is a bulldozer for?

Equipped front blade With the ability to move materials, this machine is mainly used on construction sites.This knife is used for leveling and moving materials, as well as for the ripper tooth, scarifier and winch at the rear. A bulldozer is often supplemented with another machine - an excavator.

Various types of work performed with a bulldozer

This machine is very versatile and powerful. It is used for:

• Level the ground;
• Excavation and mining works;
• Deforestation / deforestation / land clearing;
• Clean the topsoil;
• Trailed plows;
• Level (or strip) the soil to stabilize / clean out the soil;
• Lay out the ground;
• Press down with a scraper (with pressure blade).

Best Practices and Moments of Vigilance

• Comply with security measures specified by the company or the SPS coordinator;
• Determine the work area, risk areas and traffic rules;
• Find various existing networks;
• Consider the size of the machine and the weight depending on the areas to be crossed;
• Determine the inclines of the slopes according to the width of the paths;
• Be equipped in accordance with the nature of the work performed (PPE, signs, etc.);
• Lay the ground in a slope to avoid landslides;
• Install a suction and / or ventilation device;
• Create a security perimeter

Please note that these devices are subject to annual general periodic inspections , and these checks do not replace the manufacturer's service.

What's the CACES for a bulldozer?

To drive this impressive machine, it is important to follow the safety rules. Then it is necessary to undergo training to work with this machine. You need to get CACES 3 ... Thanks to him, you can manage reciprocating exhaust cars .

Technical description

Various models

Power bulldozer is almost the same as a tractor, and ranges from 25 to 1000 horsepower, with a weight of 5 to 100 tons depending on the model. The blade length ranges from 1 m 80 to 6 m.

There are two main models:

• Crawler bulldozers : Their width is adapted to different types of terrain, the wide tracks are designed for terrain with steep slopes, such as inclines.
• Bulldozer for tires : has the advantage of being very versatile. This machine, unlike a crawler bulldozer, can move on the road.

Speed ​​is the main criterion that distinguishes these two models. Also note that machines called corner, tipping and tipping plows belong to the family bulldozers (the name is given in accordance with the type of blade).

Various bulldozer builders

• Caterpillar
• Komatsu
• Liebherr
• John Deere and company

When to use a bulldozer?

Bulldozer ideal for construction sites on soft ground (movable and removable elements on the ground). Its heavy weight makes it not very mobile (maximum speed 12 km / h) and makes it impractical to use if you need to cover a distance of more than 100 m on trips.

Thus, its performance depends on the condition and slopes of the ground, the quality of the dump, the materials that need to be moved / demolished, the distance of transportation (the number of rounds performed). The use of a bulldozer is subject to several rules.

A bulldozer is also needed to push a scraper (also called a scraper), which can pull materials out of the ground.

A bulldozer could very well be a supplement to renting a bob 4 for collecting and moving materials.
