How to Choose a Bulldozer for Road Construction?

Date: Jul 23, 2025

In road construction, choosing the right bulldozer doubles efficiency; choosing wrong delays progress. For different road construction scenarios, focus on 3 core points when selecting a bulldozer to balance practicality and cost.

I. Match Tonnage to Project Scale

Road construction scale dictates bulldozer size:

Rural roads / Maintenance: 10-15-ton class suffices. Narrow body (≤2.5m) handles tight shoulders flexibly.

Urban arterial roads: 20-25-ton class fits best. Large blade (4-6m³) levels subgrades rapidly.

Highway expansion: 30+-ton class. Strong power (≥160KW) handles heavy-duty tasks.

II. Compliance is Non-Negotiable

Road construction imposes hard requirements:

Noise: Choose ≤75 dB models for urban sites to avoid fines.

Eco-compliance: Meet EU Stage V / EPA Tier 4 emissions with dust collectors in EU/US/Mideast.

Maneuverability: Compact body + agile steering avoids underground utilities and structures.
