CAT D11 New-Gen Dozer

The CAT D11 'New Generation' Bulldozer is the latest addition to the CAT Dozer range. In line with the manufacturers decision to drop the alphabetic series designation from the end of the model numbers across all product groups, the update model of the D11T is now the D11. The R&D team at Caterpillar have made a lot of improvements in the new D11, some subtle and others more immediately evident. Changes in engine and transmission software and updated componentry for example, boast fuel savings of up to 8% which is huge when you’re talking the volumes of fuel consumed in a bulk push application on a double shift roster. One key factor in the improved fuel efficiency of the D11 is the load sensing hydraulics which improve efficiency and reduce energy loss. Variable displacement piston hydraulic pumps constantly vary their output to meet the needs of the task or operation meaning less wastage and improved sensitivity when its needed for finer operations. An overall increase in weight also makes the new D11 more stable and improves traction.
