Bulldozer

Bulldozers are usually tracked, as opposed to wheeled, and is a tractor frame with a large plate or ‘blade’ mounted upon the front, and a large metal claw, or ‘ripper’, at the back. The bulldozer's ripper is used to loosen material that is tightly compacted, or break up surface rock. The blade can then be used to remove the broken up material. It can also be used to push material, for example construction debris or sand, when they are in large quantities.

Used bulldozers

Used bulldozers will generally fall into two distinct blade-types: An ‘S’ blade is a straight blade, with no curve and no wings, which makes it unable to carry a large amount of material, but allows for very fine levels of grading, and a ‘U’ blade, which is bigger, as well as being curved and winged, which allows it a larger capacity for carrying material. In some cases, used bulldozers will be equipped with a combination of the two, an ‘S-U’ blade, which can carry out both functions in a slightly limited manner.
