2023 Brandt Remediation and Waste Crawler Dozers 550K

2023 Brandt Remediation and Waste Crawler Dozers 550K

When our customers sound off, we listen. So when you asked us to turn down the noise and turn up productivity on our 550K Crawler Dozer, we responded with a spacious, redesigned cab that's up to 50% quieter. And a more powerful EPA Interim Tier 4 (IT4)/EU Stage IIIB diesel engine.

Equipment owners and operators will also find lots more to like in the K-Series - such as a hydraulic-driven fan that provides efficient cooling, reduces noise, and conserves precious fuel. And a convenient sealed-switch module for fingertip control of numerous one-of-a-kind features and functions.

Features may include:

• EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV diesel delivers impressive power, torque, and drawbar pull for work in nonattainment areas and unsurpassed productivity.

• Eco mode regulates engine rpm and hydrostatic (HST) transmission system to burn up to 20-percent less fuel in many applications.

• It employs field-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), easy-to-maintain high-uptime exhaust filters, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR).

• Innovative V-Cool design provides convenient access to both sides of the coolers for easy cleanout. Hydraulically driven fan runs only as needed, reducing fuel consumption and debris flow through the cores.

• Accessible, clean-hose routing and sleeve protection for cylinder lines to guard against accidental damage on the jobsite.

• Our “open-architecture” design makes adding a grade-control system as easy as plugging in the components, calibrating, and going to work, whether your preference be Trimble, Leica, or a factory-installed Topcon 3D-MC2 system.

• The in-dash compartment is ideal for permanent placement of a grade-control monitor or as a lockable compartment for storing.

• Overhead radio and storage console includes a 12-volt electrical outlet for powering a cell phone or an iPod®.

• Single lever provides low-effort control of steering, forward/reverse travel, and ground speed. It’s also detented so it doesn’t require an operator’s constant touch or attention, and employs a thumb-actuated travel-speed switch.

• Ergonomic T-bar hydraulic control precisely meters flow for a natural "feel" and provides advanced optimum blade control that will enhance any operator’s grading skills. Blade response is powerful and quick.

• The enhanced multifunction LCD color monitor provides pushbutton access to a wealth of machine info. It also enables you to customize machine settings.

• If a spec is pushed beyond a critical range limit, an alarm will sound and a red warning light activated to unmistakably inform the operator to shut down the machine and investigate the cause.

• Simply set maximum desired ground speed and the power management system automatically maintains peak engine rpm and power efficiency without stalling or shifting.

• These dozers steer the same and maintain their preset speed whether working on level ground or a 2-to-1 slope. So there’s never a need to cross-steer or ride a brake.

• Closed-cell blade design and robot-welded, fabricated, box-section C-frame is strong and durable.

• The heavy-duty ball-and-socket joint, horizontally designed to resist material buildup for long-term grading precision, is built with unmatched strength and durability in mind.
