Caterpillar have been making dozers fitted with their own blades for over 75 years – the anniversary was in 2020. This means that there are always tonnes of used crawler dozers for sale at PlantPages in the UK. The dozer is actually the blade that is attached to the machine that we all call a ‘dozer’ or ‘Bulldozer’. The current model lineup of CAT dozers are small (D1-D3), medium (D4-D7 and the large dozers (D8-D11). In the UK market, the most popular sized CAT dozer is the D6 with an operating weight of around 23 tonnes. Since 2017, CAT have changed the way they number their models. The company has been getting rid of the extra letters at the end. However, it wasn’t until 2020 that the tracked dozers joined in. Some letters will remain at the end – for hybrid versions, for example.
