Nearly half of the large dozers Caterpillar sells are D9 dozers—and for good reason. They’re the smart choice for dozens of applications and environments thanks to unmatched reliability, long life and a wide range of application-specific blades.
Like all Cat® dozers, the productive and efficient D9 is a fully integrated Cat machine—100% designed by Caterpillar and built with all Cat components that work together to deliver top performance and high availability. With the D9, you’ll move more dirt at the lowest possible cost.
Elevated sprocket and suspended undercarriage work together:
The D9 features Bogie Suspension, which allows the track to conform to ground condition, providing more ground contact, especially in hard, uneven terrain. Higher traction means less slippage, better balance and a smoother ride.
The D9 features differential steering, so large blade loads can be smoothly maneuvered throughout a turn. Differential provides a tight turning radius and maintains a high ground speed while turning to keep productivity high. The planetary powershift transmission controls permit smooth speed and direction changes with Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System (APECS).
1) Automatically frees up stator when torque multiplication is not required under low load, resulting in:
–Higher drivetrain efficiency
–Less fuel consumption
2) Locks automatically during higher loads and retarding
3) No noticeable changes felt by operator
Information display is larger, faster and more powerful
Seamless integration with optional machine control and guidance systems:
20-40% longer undercarriage life and 8000-hour seal life with new, heavy-duty extended-life (HDXL) undercarriage
Multiple levels of remote-control operation
