Increase Efficiency, Reduce Operating Costs & Grow Your Business
Construction has, undoubtedly, taken a hit following the surge in the recent pandemic, but that has not stopped CAT from developing yet another innovation in industrial equipment. Recently, CAT has released the Next Generation D6 Dozer, with the primary goal of increasing performance while lowering operating costs associated with construction and excavating equipment. CAT does this by increasing fuel efficiency, lowering maintenance costs, increasing safety precautions, and increasing useful life of equipment which decreases depreciation expenses.
Fuel Efficient
The Next Gen D6 has the ability to move up to 35% more material per gallon of fuel used and move up to 10% more material per hour. According to CAT analysis, this increase in fuel efficiency means that customers can expect to see payback of this investment in less than 2 years of operation.
Lower Maintenance Costs
The D6 shows to have 12% lower maintenance costs due to upgraded components, longer service intervals, and fewer scheduled maintenance tasks. Included in this reduced maintenance cost is a focus in upgraded filters, generator, and fans in the cab, increasing the operator experience in while behind the wheel. Additionally, the power train oil life has been extended by 100%, from 1,000 to 2,000 hours.
Increased Safety
The D6 increases safety through numerous additions to help the operator to better control the machine by having more visibility of the surrounding area. Through a 15% increase in glass in the cab, an HD rearview camera, and an improved hood design and exhaust alignment, the driver’s view is dramatically increased and results in a safer operation.
Longer Life
Through its simpler design and component configuration, the D6 is built to last longer. The D6 power train has 90% fewer rotating parts than a traditional power train. A new Heavy-Duty Extended Life undercarriage offers up to 20% more seal life in high impact conditions. This extended life increases long-term productivity and decreases depreciation costs which, subsequently, increases your operating income.
Innovations like these provide business owners, particularly construction contractors, with the ability to increase their productivity, growing their business by reducing operating costs and allowing them reallocate capital to other areas of their business. Innovations like this come with a cost, which can be easily overcome with the proper funding sources which can help free up cash to help grow your business. US Capital Solutions has financed over $7 million in bulldozers from 2019 to 2020 with an average rate of 4.9%.
