A new, larger 13.4 yd3 Semi-U Blade delivers 19 percent more capacity over the standard D8T blade. The optional blade allows the bulldozer to move more material per pass for productivity gains up to 13 percent over the standard blade.
Offering easier material penetration in moderate rock or hard/frozen ground applications, these edges allow the dozer to work faster and more efficiently and reduce “skating” in difficult-to-penetrate materials. Performance cutting edges dig deeper and improve blade control, load retention and traction. Ripping can be reduced in some cases, and the on-plane system enables finish grading for added versatility.
To reduce maintenance downtime, enhance safety and facilitate machine clean-out, contractors can opt for Powered Bottom Guards on the underside of the D8T. After bolts are removed, the doors open hydraulically via a remote switch. The doors can be opened in the center for fast, easy debris clean-out, or from one side for full maintenance access.
Increasing operator safety and productivity when working in applications with steep slopes or unstable surfaces, optional Cat Connect COMMAND for Dozing offers remote control machine operation. Choose an over-the-shoulder operator console for line-of-sight remote-control operation from up to 437.4 yd. or, a remote operator station offers both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight remote control operation.
