- Mechanical control
- Hydraulic control
+ Follow the mover:
a, Crawler type
-Better movement speed so that it can move
in a working location to other
working location easily.
-We don’t need to use any loading
equipment to bring this bulldozer type
into the working location.
-Huger output, especially when the working
project needs fast movement.
-The exhaust factor of the operator is
smaller.
-Less damage on the road surface especially
for the highway road.
b, Wheel type
Bulldozer composed of a blade, track and engines. The base of the bulldozer is composed of
fabricated steel plates and casting frame and undercarriage. The cab contains rubber, plastics and
glasses. The power source of the dozer may depend on the type of engine. The rotating twin
tracks and the vertical steel blade of the bulldozer make the equipment easy to move. The blade
is used to push loads from one place to another and it weighs up to 7,264 kilograms. It is attached
to the frame by an extended lever arm that can be moved up and down and inclined using
hydraulic power. Instead of using wheels, bulldozer is equipped with a huge flexible track. More
bulldozers have a built-in elevated sprocket which suspends the power train that makes the
bulldozer’s movement more flexible especially on rough terrain and slope area. Power train
contains the differential, transmission and gears that revolve the track. The power train is
attached to the crankshaft that will transmit power to lift the sprocket gear. Self-regulating
steering wheel is used to rotate the sprocket at full power while the other is slowly rotating as the
bulldozer is revolving.
