There are dozers, and then there are Cat dozers. With a reputation for getting the job done, these machines deliver performance and value on any site in the world.

Whether the job is moving material or finish grading, there’s a Cat dozer made for it. So, let’s take a closer look at the mid-size dozers.

These machines, which have recently gone through a nomenclature change, are now called the D5, D6, D7 and D8 and range in size from 17,180 to 40,233 Kilos and in power from 127 to 264 kW/170 to 354hp.

The dozers are visually striking with the elevated sprocket undercarriage that creates their distinctive triangular track. This design contributes to greater productivity while helping to reduce risk of damage from accumulated dirt or rocks.

These technologies help improve operator efficiency, machine productivity and fuel economy. The optinal Assist package includes Cat Grade with Slope Assist™, Stable Blade, Slope Indicate, Blade Load Monitor, Traction Control and AutoCarry™;
