    The document describes the Komatsu D575A-2 Super Dozer, the world's largest bulldozer. It has 1150 HP, can hold 90 cubic yards of material, and weighs 157 tons. It features a lockup torque converter for increased speed and production, resilient undercarriage for traction and ride comfort, and a super dozer blade configuration that increases capacity by 15% for large earthmoving jobs. Field tests showed the Super Dozer was up to 2 times more productive than the D11R dozer in hard rock applications.

    THE WORLD’S LARGEST BULLDOZER

    •1150 HP
    •90 YD3
    •157 TON
    Komatsu Dozer Features

    Lockup Torque Convertor - increased speed, lower


    cycle times, more production (on Super Dozer).
    Resilient Equalized Undercarriage - improves traction,
    extends component life and provides a smooth,
    comfortable ride.
    Ripper - exclusive Komatsu ripper design, high ripping
    capability and penetrating force (on Super Ripper).
    Super Dozer Blade Configuration- 90 cubic yards
    (available on D575A-2 Super Dozer) for special large
    earth moving applications.
    Improved Serviceability/Durability -Serviceability made
    easier, beefed-up high-stress areas.
    Automatic Lock-up Torque
    Converter
    • Maximizes production
    • Reduces fuel consumption

    Torque Converter

    Lock-Up “OFF” Lock-Up “ON”

    When the lock-up clutch is engaged, the pump and the turbine are connected, thereby minimizing
    internal power loss of the torque converter.
    Resilient Equalized Undercarriage
    (R.E.U.)
    Rough Terrain Travel
    Seesaw movement is performed
    corresponding to load.

    Actual ground contact area increases, ensuring powerful


    drawbar pull. Large deformation of the rubber pads improve
    the suspension.
    Komatsu R.E.U. and Job-Proven
    Low Drive Gives You:

    1. Minimum shoe slippage and greater traction

    2. Greatly improved riding comfort

    3. Better feel for operator and better
