Upgraded D9 Dozer Has Many Improvements
Cat’s D9T bulldozer has new features intended to enhance performance, productivity, operator convenience and safety, and
serviceability. The new version features a
Cat C18 ACERT engine, which meets Tier
4 Final/Stage IV emissions standards and
delivers 436 net horsepower (325 kW) at
1,800 rpm. High torque rise of 36% enables the dozer to power through tough
material. A new high-efficiency cooling
package, advanced electronic controls for
the power train and implement hydraulics,
quieter cab with enhanced information
monitoring, and safety and serviceability
refinements are major features on the new
machine, which retains its predecessor's
popular features such as a durable mainframe with cast-steel main case; pivot
shaft that transfers blade loads directly to
the mainframe; modular drive train with
three-speed power-shift transmission and
differential steering system; heavy-duty
undercarriage with track roller frames and
bogie-suspended rollers; a wide selection
of blades; intuitive controls; and expansive
visibility. The previous D9T model is still
available in less regulated countries and
can achieve emissions levels equivalent to
Tier 2 and Tier 3 standards.
