Caterpillar D6 or D6T Bulldozers – Which One Must You Go For

Bulldozers play a very important role in the construction industry. With the help of a bulldozer, the land is levelled and the place is made suitable to walk on. It paves the way for the people to move on it and allows them to work on the construction site. It is believed that bulldozers were the first heavy equipment to have ever been built for construction purpose. Prior to this, manual labour was the only source that was used for construction. However, this belief of many has often been challenged by others who have their own claims in this matter.

Something that has come out of various discussions held in different forums is the fact that it would be difficult for the construction business to survive without the existence of a bulldozer. There are many companies who claim to manufacture quality bulldozers. However, here we would be speaking about the Caterpillar D6 and D6t bulldozers and will try to understand which one should a company go for.

Let us first discuss about Caterpillar D6 dozer. They are one of the oldest models of bulldozer that has been produced by Caterpillar. It was first produced in the year 1935 and was fitted with 3 cylinder D6600 engine which had a horsepower of 45hp. It later introduced 2 more series which was powered by D4600 engine thus giving more power to the machine.

More than 2 types of blades can be installed in a D6dozer. The first one is a straight blade which is a shorter one and has no lateral curve or side wings. These types of blades are used for fine grading. Then we have the universal blade which is completely contrary to the straight blade. These types of blade are tall and are much curved with large side wings which are used to carry huge load of material. They also have a combination blade which is more like the straight blade and has less curves and smaller side wings.

If we talk about the rear of the dozer, it can be installed with stuffs that compliment the front blade. In order to add weight to the machine, large slabs of steel can be added to the rear which becomes useful for heavy dozing works. It also had a Cable control unit which was used to pull towed scrapers. This has now been supplemented by hydraulics. Installing a linkage with plows in the front makes it suitable for agricultural purposes.

The D6T dozer is comparatively better than its predecessors. It has earned its goodwill by proving the kind of machine it is. Right from generating high productivity to getting a resale value for it, you can remain assured on every piece of it. It has a horsepower of 205 hp much more than D6 dozers. It comes handy in work like dozing, scraper work, ripping, constructing oil pads, and many more such things.

Operators comfort has been given a lot of attention and stuffs have been redesigned in such a way which makes works easier for the man on the seat. With ever increasing wants of the consumer, With more features being added to the D6t dozer, it seems to be an ideal equipment much to the wants of the present day consumers.

A construction site is filled with different types of heavy equipments which are busy moving from one place to another. A non-construction person passing around such a site may only wonder what use are they off as he may not see much utility in it. However, it’s only people who belong to the construction business or who works in this industry does know the real worth of these machines. There have been instances where a break-down in a machine has brought the entire work to a standstill and probably huge sum of losses to the company.

Nowadays, big construction companies have a team of technicians ready on the site that can work on the faulty machine and can get it up and running. This saves them from the trouble of keeping a replacement of a machine which in a way is practically not possible. You just can’t keep a replacement for all the machines that’s there on site. Thus, by having a team of technicians do a lot of good in getting the stuff back to business.

Here we would be discussing in brief about the different kind of heavy construction equipment and its utility to the construction industry as a whole.

Bulldozer:-  Bulldozers are widely used to level the land. They have huge dozer blades that is attached to its tractor which can be moved in the forward as well as in the backward direction. It becomes very difficult to work on uneven land and hence they use bulldozers to level the surface and make the road smooth. They play a huge role as far as construction of roads is concerned. One can’t think of doing the job without the presence of the dozers.

Excavator:-  As the name suggests, excavators are extensively used to excavate land and with the help of the shovel, the mud is taken and dumped in the truck. Seeing this machine in a construction site is quite common as they are used for digging huge holes deep inside the ground. To give more power to excavators, it has been added with hydraulics which helps to get the work done quickly and by consuming less fuel.

Wheel Loader:-  This heavy equipment is used to remove huge blocks of demolition debris and ferry them to the truck. They have a loader/bucket attached in the front, with the help of which it collects the debris in the bucket, fill it up and then dump it in the truck. The wheel loader is also used for constructing roads and in mining industries. It plays a pivotal role in clearing heavy blocks of snow, thus making way for the workers to construct the road. Similarly, in the mining industry, it is used to carry huge pile of dirt, coal etc and place them at their right place.

Scraper:-  A Scraper is a huge machine used for earth moving purposes. It is also extensively used in the mining industry. The back portion of the scraper has a bowl which is hydraulically powered and be raised or lowered as per the command of the operator. It is this bowl which when lowered fills the stuff in it and when it’s full; it’s closed with a vertical blade so that the mud doesn’t falls out.

Heavy equipments are very expensive and if you own it, you would definitely want to use it to the tilt. However, due to progress in technology one would rather want to go for the technologically advanced equipment and would like to sell off the old equipment or to give it on rent. If at all the machine is not that old and can fetch you a good price, it makes more sense to have that sold. However, if it’s a bit old, it may not get the price you are looking for and therefore, the next best alternative would be to give it on rent. Renting it will ensure that you get a fixed monthly earning on each and every month which will continue till the contract expires. This will keep the machine in a working condition and also makes sure that you keep on getting money without any hindrance.

Nevertheless, renting heavy equipment may have its own repercussions. There is an apprehension that the person you would be renting out may not take proper care of the machine which will deteriorate its life and it may not last long as it would have if it were with you. In order to get off from such apprehensions, there are few things which you need to do before you end up giving the heavy equipment on rent.

Give it to someone you know well:-  It’s advisable to rent the equipment to people you know would take good care of your machine. There are many guys who are in need of heavy equipments and you may even find someone who will ensure that the machine remains in good order. On the other hand, you can always visit his site with the pretext to check if the machine is in order.

Hand over the user’s manual or the instruction book:-  If you rent  your machine to a newbie, please ensure that you also hand over the user’s manual or an instruction book to the new user. Also, give him some verbal instruction on how frequently he should service the equipment and how often it needs to be lubricated. Just in case, if they experience any problem, they can make use of the user manual and can fix things up or can even call a technician directly from the company to get it fixed.

Make a rental contract:-  A rental contract helps both the giver and the taker in understanding their role in the contract. Similarly, it also protects the rights of both the parties. While preparing the contract, state all the points you find critical, such as maintaining the machine, the number of hours it should be working in a day, if there happens to be any accident due to which a part of the machine becomes faulty, it becomes the responsibility of the user to replace it or get it repaired. If only the taker agrees on all the points, you should go ahead with the deal. The duration for which the taker would be using the machine should also be stated in the contract.

Following the above points will protect the rights of both the parties and will help you rent your stuff.
