The DH13K is among 10 new Shantui hydrostatic dozers launched by IronDirect.IronDirect, an online equipment seller primarily known as a sales platform for Chinese-made heavy equipment, has added a lineup of 10 Shantui dozers to its product offerings.
The new machines maintain track and blade control with fully hydrostatic transmissions that automatically adjust to load conditions.
Track speed and direction can be controlled individually from the cab with a joystick and integrated thumb wheel. Another joystick controls the six-way, power-angle-tilt blade. Steering and blade control have three settings: aggressive, standard and fine.
A foot pedal controls engine and brake functions. Depressing the pedal slows transmission and engine speed simultaneously when in deceleration mode. In brake mode, depressing the pedal slows transmission but not the engine. Taking your foot off the pedal engages the brake in both modes.
The cabs are designed with rollover and falling-object protection. A 7-inch monitor displays machine data. A rearview camera comes standard. The cab is also climate-controlled, and it’s sealed and pressurized to reduce noise and dust. It also features storage space, wide doors, radio and MP3 player, and a USB charger.
The 10 new models range from 90 to 170 net horsepower. Four of the dozers are standard-track XL models designed for hard, rocky soil. Six low-ground-pressure (LGP) models are geared for working on softer ground.
