Bulldozer Transport
Bulldozer transport requires low-clearance trailers due to the machine's blade height and track configuration. Small dozers (D3–D5 class, 8,000–20,000 lbs) use step-deck trailers; larger machines (D6–D11 class, 20,000–230,000 lbs) require RGN lowboys and oversize permits. The blade is typically transported in the raised or removed position to stay within height limits. Brands include Caterpillar, Komatsu, John Deere, and Case.
