The Caterpillar D6K2 LGP Dozer, produced in 2016, is a high-performance machine designed for maximum productivity and efficiency in challenging terrains. The Low Ground Pressure (LGP) configuration makes it particularly well-suited for soft, muddy, or sensitive surfaces where minimizing ground disturbance is crucial.
Powered by a Cat C4.4 ACERT engine, the D6K2 LGP Dozer delivers robust power and meets stringent emissions standards. The engine ensures reliable performance and fuel efficiency, even in demanding conditions. The LGP configuration provides a wider track gauge and larger track shoes, distributing the machine’s weight more evenly. This minimizes ground pressure, reducing soil compaction and making the dozer ideal for work on soft or sensitive terrains.
