Dozers, short for bulldozers, are powerful tracked vehicles with a large metal plate, called a blade, at the front. They are commonly used in construction, site preparation, and forestry applications for tasks such as earthmoving, grading, and pushing materials. Dozers are known for their ability to push large quantities of soil, sand, or rubble in a straight line – making them ideal for creating roads, leveling terrain, and clearing land. They are equipped with tracks to provide traction and stability, especially in rough or muddy terrain. Dozers come in various sizes, from small models suitable for residential construction to large, heavy-duty machines used in major infrastructure projects. Safety features such as roll-over protection systems (ROPS) and reinforced cabs are standard on modern dozers to protect operators during operation. The general power and simple, broad function of dozers makes them one of the most broadly utilized pieces of heavy industrial equipment in the world.
