Construction 180HP Forestry Bulldozers

What sets 180HP Forestry Bulldozers apart

A forestry dozer does the same pushing work as a site dozer, but in far rougher ground. Branches can pierce a radiator, and a stump can tear a fuel line from below. So machines of this type usually carry extra guards, and the forestry bulldozer type listed here reflects that build.

Typical guarding on a forestry setup includes:

• A cab guard and screens that keep falling limbs away from the operator
• Plates under the engine, fuel tank and final drives
• Track guards that stop debris jamming the rollers

The mechanical driven layout is simple to repair in remote camps, where a field mechanic may have only hand tools.

Confirmed and typical build

The specification table below holds the model data. Driving type, bulldozer type, blade capacity, engine power and weight are confirmed. The other values describe dozers of this type, and we confirm them for your order:

• Controls: hydraulic, operator cab controlled
• Drive: diesel engine, crawler track drivetrain
• Build: reinforced steel chassis, guarded cab and undercarriage
• Class range: 80-320 hp, 2.5-5 m³ blade capacity across bulldozers

Common forestry jobs

• Cutting logging roads and skid trails into new blocks
• Clearing land and pushing out stumps before planting
• Building fire breaks and stacking slash
• Pulling loaded trucks up steep, wet grades

For a lighter unit, compare the 160HP crawler bulldozer. For soft, swampy ground, the 160HP swamp bulldozer spreads its weight on wider tracks.

Buying for export or tender

Buyers usually ask us whether a root rake, a rear winch or a ripper can be fitted, and we confirm each option before we quote. We supply single units, bulk orders and tender quantities to importers and contractors in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. Each shipment leaves with the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading for customs. Our shipping, Incoterms and export documents page sets out each trade term.
