D-Series Crawler Dozer.Built for the mine, the dam-toe and the mass-cut.
The D18H is the workhorse of the SDLG dozer range — 17.3 tonne of Deutz-powered crawler with 280 kN tractive force, ready for the toughest Indian mining and dam-construction sites.
One dozer. Every Indian use-case.
Single-platform engineering — focused dealer parts inventory, one operator-training spec, one service-procedure manual.
The heavy-cut machine of the lineup.
Where bulk push, slope-shaping and overburden displacement demand a crawler — that's the D18H's territory.
Mining
Open-cast iron-ore, coal and limestone overburden push. 280 kN tractive force handles soft-rock face.
Dam / Hydro
Earth-fill dam construction, hydro-project access roads and embankment shaping. 30° gradeability.
Mass earthworks
Industrial-park, township and SEZ groundwork — bulk earth-cutting and pad preparation.
Industrial site
Steel-mill yards, port-area pad-shaping and large-format cement-plant groundworks.
Highway prep
NHAI right-of-way clearing and large-cut earthworks on Bharatmala greenfield alignments.
Three reasons the D18H wins on Indian mining sites.
Heavy-push tractive
280 kN tractive force handles compacted laterite, weathered rock and overburden faces on iron-ore and coal mines.
Slope-capable
30° max gradeability and 59.8 kPa ground pressure — works the ramp, the dam-toe and the spoil-bank without retreating.
Deutz reliability
BFM8-21T2 inline-6 with proven service network — 500-hour intervals and dealer-stocked wear parts across India.
Site-trial the D18H on your overburden.
Our regional dealers can spec the right ripper, blade and undercarriage for your site — and demo on the actual face before you commit.
