How to choose a bulldozer

Jul 31, 2024

The construction machinery industry in China has made great progress, and there are many types of bulldozers. Shanghai Deyuan recommends the method of choosing bulldozers. Choosing a suitable bulldozer is crucial for construction projects, as it directly affects the efficiency of machine usage, project progress, and user benefits.

Desert Type Bulldozer
1. Determine the power level of the machine. When determining the appropriate power level for purchasing a bulldozer, users should choose based on the size of the project and the reasonable applicable range of the bulldozer power level.
When selecting the power level of the machine, factors such as the soil conditions of the project and the nature of the machine operation should also be comprehensively considered. For example, when the machine is used for construction in soil environments mainly composed of sand and rock, a bulldozer with a power of 162kw (220 horsepower) or more should generally be selected; If bulldozers need to frequently perform pulling operations in addition to pushing and shoveling, it is necessary to consider the traction force of the machine and make reasonable trade-offs.
2. Understand the characteristics and operating range of various bulldozers and different configurations
After determining the power level of the machine, users need to further select suitable models from various variant products of bulldozers of this power level based on the specific characteristics of the construction project, and determine the required configuration conditions. At present, in addition to the standard model, manufacturers can also choose from high-altitude models suitable for operations above 4000m, desert models suitable for desert environments, wetland and super wetland models suitable for operations in southern rice fields and swamp water networks, environmental sanitation models suitable for garbage landfill filling, and scraper and power plant models suitable for port and power plant operations.

This requires users to first have a clear understanding of the bulldozer's operating object (earthwork or other), working environment (temperature, altitude, dust and swamp, etc.), engineering requirements, etc.
3. Comprehensive investigation of suitable products
When users choose industrial bulldozers, they not only need to consider how to choose from a technical perspective, but also pay attention to the cost-effectiveness of the bulldozer. If they only choose high-performance and high cost products for a project and ignore their subsequent usage costs, it not only wastes funds but also fails to fully utilize the efficiency of the machine, resulting in unnecessary waste. For any enterprise engaged in engineering construction, this will bring significant difficulties in reducing construction costs through management. In addition, for users, it is necessary to consider the technical maintenance and repair services provided by the manufacturer, as well as the supply of accessories. Whether they can provide timely services and convenient accessory supply, and whether they can solve construction machine failures in the shortest possible time, fully ensuring the progress of the project. These are the most concerning issues for users.
