Dressta rolls out landfill dozers

Landfill operations are particularly hard on equipment. But new Dressta Landfill Arrangement dozers (LA) are designed to handle the severe challenges of landfill applications.

They are the 240kW TD-25H LA, the 168kW TD-20H LA, and the 130kW TD-15H LA. Landfill work includes lots of paper, plastics and other debris, which can clog up the radiator, coolers and engine compartments. The heavy loads often encountered can also tax cooling systems and power train components. Accordingly, Dressta dozers are built to withstand the daily abuse of severe landfill operations. All three incorporate reliable turbocharged engines. Transmissions are three-speed countershaft powershift types. Dressta's exclusive two-speed geared type steering drives deliver full power to both tracks while turning and provide improved control with large, uneven blade loads. A total of six speeds forward and reverse produce the best match for each application. All dozers also employ modular type double reduction final drives. The two-door, hexagonally shaped, resiliently mounted cab, improves both visibility and operator comfort. Exceptional air conditioning, heating, pressurisation and filtration, also enhance the operator environment. The deluxe suspended seat can be angled 15 for optimum forward and reverse visibility. To assure high reliability under severe landfill conditions, each Dressta landfill dozer is equipped with an extensive array of special duty components and attachments. These include turbine type air pre-cleaners, in-line copper tube radiator cores with wide fin spacing, radiator debris screen, oil to air power train oil coolers, insulated muffler, final drive seal guards, perforated hoods and engine side enclosures, 80-amp alternators, severe service crankcase and transmission guards, two-piece louvered radiator guard doors, audible and visual warning systems, steel deflector side bars at the engine compartment, and track shoe clean-out holes. Also available are blade trash racks, front and rear striker bars, additional rear counter-weights, an electric winch for ease in lowering and raising the heavy-duty crankcase guard, single or multi-shank rippers, sweeps, and screening packages. Track shoes are available in widths from 560 to 711 mm on the TD-25H LA. Further information: Dressta Australia 03 5942 7860, fax 03 5942 7861, shaneric@bigpond.com www.dressta.com.pl
