Dozer is a crawler type tractor that is equipped with a front blade (also call as pusher blade). Crawler type is a type of wheel a dozer equipped with. And in this type, dozer runs on two endless tracks. Due to crawler type it has a low ground pressure and that makes dozer to work even on those surfaces where normal wheel dozer is unable to work.
Due to crawler type, it has a very strong under carriage and has very high resistance for wear. This makes dozer to work at grades/slopes with a very strong ability of pull in forward direction even at grades.

Dozer has numerous functions. It has ability to;
- Dig hard soil
- Level the varying terrains
- Compact soil layer
- Excavate any type of soil

Dozer can excavate soil of any type of strata. It works even on those lands where others machines fails to work. It has also a capability of leveling the terrains that varies very much.
When there is a hard strata underlying, where blade cutting edge is powerless to function then for these kinds of surfaces, dozer has a ripper at tail end.
