Specifications

Detailed Description and Benefits

The D8 family is a proven platform for medium-to-large earthmoving tasks. This used CAT bulldozer combines a heavy-duty undercarriage, a robust Caterpillar 3406 diesel engine rated at 226 kW, and an SU-type blade to deliver consistent push power and long service life. It is engineered for contractors who require dependable performance on grading, site preparation, road building and quarry work.

Performance and Powertrain

Power delivery from the 3406 C-DITA engine provides durable torque characteristics suitable for sustained heavy loads. The LS transmission is matched to the powertrain to offer predictable speed control across varied grades and payloads. With a forward travel speed of 10.8 km/h and a reverse speed listed at 13.9 km/h, the machine maintains efficient pass cycles for dozing and finish grading.

Blade, Attachments and Versatility

The large SU blade (4.4 m width) supports a wide working swath and can be adjusted to multiple positions for cutting, carrying and finishing tasks. A broad selection of attachments is compatible with this platform, enabling quick adaptation to ripping, winching, or specialized material handling. This flexibility extends the machine’s useful scope across infrastructure, mining and large civil projects.

Operator Environment and Serviceability

Cab ergonomics on D8 variants prioritize visibility and control layout to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts. Routine access points are designed for straightforward inspection and servicing: filters, fluids and wear checks can be conducted with minimal downtime. The machine’s construction emphasizes replaceable wear components to maintain lifecycle value.

Durability, Maintenance and Lifecycle Cost

Built on a heavy-frame chassis, this bulldozer resists twisting and shock loads encountered in harsh environments. Track assemblies and undercarriage components are specified for long wear intervals; with scheduled maintenance and timely replacement of wear items, operators can expect an extended operational lifespan and controlled total cost of ownership.

Key Features

• Proven Caterpillar 3406 engine (226 kW) and LS transmission for steady power delivery.

• Large SU blade with adjustable positions for multi-role dozing and fine grading.

• Robust undercarriage and replaceable wear components for long service life.

• Designed for straightforward maintenance to reduce downtime and operating costs.

• Operator-focused cab layout for improved comfort and visibility.

• Wide selection of compatible attachments for broad application coverage.

Typical Applications and Target Users

This machine is suited to contractors, quarry operators, municipal works departments and rental fleets that require a dependable dozer for earthmoving, road construction, land reclamation and bulk material handling. Its specification makes it particularly valuable where continuous push capacity and robust serviceability are priorities.

Purchase, Delivery and Support

Originating from Shanghai, the unit is available with an expected delivery window of 15–20 days. With a supply capacity supporting large-volume order cycles, we can accommodate single-unit purchases or fleet replacements. Pre-shipment inspections and documentation are provided to ensure condition transparency.

Summary

For projects that demand a durable, serviceable dozer with substantial blade capacity and a well-established engine platform, this used CAT D8 / D8R represents a practical balance of performance and lifecycle value. The machine’s configuration supports a wide range of attachments and maintenance practices that keep operating costs predictable and uptime high.
