Caterpillar D6R XL Crawler Dozer Specs

Category: Crawler Dozers ➔
Manufacturer: Caterpillar ➔
Model: D6R XL ➔

The Caterpillar D6R XL is a crawler dozer designed for grading, pushing, and site preparation in construction, mining, and land clearing applications. Built on Caterpillar's D6 platform, the XL configuration typically refers to a wider track gauge and longer undercarriage arrangement for improved stability and flotation in soft or uneven ground conditions. The machine is commonly equipped with a six-way blade, hydrostatic or powershift drivetrain depending on configuration, and a diesel engine sized for medium-duty earthmoving work. The D6R XL is used for dozing, ripping, backfilling, and finish grading, with service access and operator controls designed for productivity and maintenance efficiency.
