Crawler bulldozer D85EX/PX-18

Thanks to its automatic transmission, the D85EX-18 / D85PX-18 always operates in its most efficient working range” says William Groven, Product Manager for dozers. “This function drastically enhances the machine’s productivity and lowers its fuel consumption, making it the most fuel efficient in its class” First-Class Operator Comfort Optimised Work Equipment Tough and Reliable State-of-the-Art Controls Set by default, the D85-18 has a highly efficient transmission that automatically matches the best gear mode in all dozing operations and includes a travel speed preset function to reduce work time and fatigue for the operator. With Komatsu’s ECMV (Electronic Controlled Modulation Valves) gear changes are smoothly timed to always keep the power transfer at maximum efficiency. Operator comfort is essential for safe and productive work. The cab on the D85-18 is quiet and comfortable, an ideal environment to concentrate on the job. Its hexagonal design and large tinted glass windows offer excellent panoramic visibility. The high capacity and fully automatic climate control system pressurises the cab to keep dust out. A high quality sound-absorbent lining covers the interior to minimise noise levels for the operator. The redesigned ROPS/FOPS integrated cab and the well-located operator seat give optimal blade visibility to the left and right and make both dozing and grading easy, safe and fast. To further improve safety and ripping efficiency, the special shape of the fuel tank gives the operator a clear view of the ripper point and of the dozer’s back side.
