The D5 to D8 dozers comprise a second group of dual purpose machines geared for both heavy dozing and finish grading. From D5 and up you’ll see the Caterpillar’s elevated sprocket/high-drive design. These are considered the light-to-medium duty dozers. The first group, the D1, D2, D3, and D4, will replace the K family of dozers and retain their low-drive sprocket design. Overall the new naming system will also make clear the three basic groups of dozers that Caterpillar offers. The new D1 (the old D3K and D3K2) will be the first Caterpillar dozer to carry that number, says Meeker.Īnd while there has been a D2 in the past (produced from 1938 until 1957) the new D2 will incorporate the old D4K2 and D4K size class. In addition to renaming the dozer line, Cat’s reorganization of the nomenclature will also result in a completely new name, the D1 and the rebirth of the D2.
#D4 CATERPILLAR DOZER SERIAL NUMBER#
Knowing the serial number prefix and the feature set attached to it is like a badge of honor for our customers.” The serial number prefix is like your middle name. “But our customers are accustomed to serial number prefixes. “The model year does a pretty good job of telling you what’s in there,” says Meeker. There will still be annual product updates and new feature sets for dozers and other machines, but contractors will need to know the year-model or the serial number to know which machines have which updates. In the past, the suffixes on Cat dozer names typically designated different feature sets.

Meeker says you might/could see this on dozers a year or two down the road. The GC moniker was used to denote a basic, no-frills machine with a lower cost and less technology than the more fully featured machines. What i like the most about this company is the way they handle orders and everything is delivered on time.The other suffix you might eventually see on the dozers is the GC designation, which is already used on some excavators (320 GC, 330 GC, 336 GC ) and one wheel loader (the 950 GC). “For the past four years i have been a very happy client of AMS construction.Their sales staff is knowledgeable, helpful and very prompt. “AMS is a wonderful resource for rebuilt motors.“Saved us a ton of money on parts! Even if they don't know the product line they helped me find a solution.
