The minimum cost listed on our website is $550 per day, which can be negotiated on a case-by-case basis with each contractor.

The smallest model we have for online quoting and booking is the 21,00 lb dozer. However, if you need it, we may also get a 19,000 lb model for your construction project in Texas.

The biggest dozer we rent is the 50,000 lb model.

The lifting capacity of a dozer is the maximum weight that it can lift at a specified distance from the pivot point of the blade. Lifting capacity is typically measured in pounds or kilograms.


The lifting capacity of a dozer is not directly correlated to its operating weight. However, there is a general trend for larger dozers to have higher lifting capacities. This is because larger dozers typically have more powerful engines and stronger hydraulic systems.


In general, the smaller dozers (19,000 to 22,000 lb) have a lifting capacity around 9,000 lb, whereas a 50,000 lb dozer has a lifting capacity ranging between 12,000 to 24,000 lb.

Dozers are powerful machines that can be dangerous if not operated safely. Here are some essential safety rules to follow before and during dozer operation:

Before operating a dozer:

• Inspect the machine: Thoroughly inspect the dozer for any damage or defects. Check the tires, fluid levels, brakes, and hydraulics to ensure they are in good working condition.

• Familiarize yourself with the controls: Before operating the dozer, take the time to understand the location and function of all the controls. This includes the steering wheel, accelerator, brakes, blade controls, and any other attachments.

• Wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE): Always wear the appropriate PPE when operating a dozer. This includes safety glasses, gloves, steel-toed boots, and a hard hat.

• Ensure a clear work area: Before starting work, clear the work area of any obstacles or hazards that could pose a danger. This includes people, animals, tools, and debris.

• Establish clear communication protocols: If working with other personnel, establish clear communication protocols to avoid misunderstandings and accidents.

During dozer operation:

• Maintain a safe distance from other workers and equipment: Always keep a safe distance from other workers and equipment while operating the dozer. Be aware of your surroundings and anticipate the movements of others.

• Avoid working on steep slopes: Dozers are more likely to tip over on steep slopes. If possible, work on level ground or gentle slopes.

• Be cautious when backing up: Always back up slowly and carefully. Use mirrors and blind spot mirrors to ensure you have a clear view behind you.

• Do not overload the dozer: Never exceed the dozer’s lifting capacity. Overloading can damage the machine and increase the risk of accidents.

• Use the proper attachments for the task: Choose the appropriate attachment for the job at hand. For example, use a ripper for breaking up hard ground and a blade for grading or moving soil.

• Be mindful of overhead hazards: Always be aware of overhead hazards, such as power lines and trees. Avoid operating the dozer near overhead hazards.

• Never leave the dozer unattended: Always stop the engine, set the brakes, and lower the blade when leaving the dozer unattended.

In addition to these general safety rules, it is important to follow any specific safety guidelines provided by the dozer manufacturer or your employer. Remember, safety should always be the top priority when operating a dozer.

Choosing the right dozer size for your project is crucial for ensuring efficient and safe operation. The appropriate dozer size depends on various factors, including the project’s scope, terrain, material type, and budget. Here’s a guide to selecting the right dozer size for your needs:

• Consider the Project Scope:

Determine the size and complexity of your project. For smaller tasks like grading or landscaping, a smaller dozer (20,000-30,000 lbs) might suffice. For larger-scale projects like land clearing or road construction, a medium to large dozer (30,000-50,000 lbs) would be more suitable.

• Evaluate the Terrain:

Assess the terrain where the dozer will be operating. If the terrain is flat or has gentle slopes, a smaller dozer can handle the job. However, if the terrain is hilly or rugged, a larger dozer with better maneuverability and stability is necessary.

• Analyze the Material Type:

Consider the type of material the dozer will be handling. For lightweight materials like soil or gravel, a smaller dozer can handle the task. However, for heavier materials like rocks or demolition debris, a larger dozer with greater lifting capacity is needed.

• Factor in Budgetary Constraints:

Dozer rental or purchase costs vary based on size and capabilities. Evaluate your budget and determine the most cost-effective option for your project.

Dozers are versatile machines that can be equipped with a variety of attachments to enhance their functionality and tackle diverse tasks. Here are some of the most common dozer attachments and their applications:

• Blades: Dozer blades are the primary attachment and come in various styles, including straight blades, angled blades, and U-blades. Straight blades are suitable for general grading and leveling, while angled blades are ideal for moving material to one side or ditching. U-blades are designed for backfilling trenches and handling loose materials.

• Rippers: Rippers are attachments with deep-penetrating shanks and teeth that break up hard ground, compacted soil, and rocks. They are commonly used in land clearing, road construction, and mining operations to prepare the terrain for further work.

• Rakes: Dozer rakes are attachments equipped with teeth that loosen and gather material, primarily used for landscaping, road maintenance, and debris removal. They effectively distribute materials, break up clumps, and prepare surfaces for grading or paving.

• Winches: Dozer winches are powerful pulling devices that attach to the dozer’s frame. They are used for a variety of tasks, including towing disabled vehicles, pulling trees and logs, and anchoring the dozer for stability when working on slopes.

• Log Grapples: Log grapples are attachments with hydraulically operated arms and claws that grip and lift logs and other materials. They are commonly used in forestry operations for efficient log handling and loading onto trucks or trailers.

• Brush Cutters: Dozer brush cutters are attachments with rotating blades that clear vegetation, brush, and small trees. They are used in land clearing, roadside maintenance, and firebreak creation to remove unwanted vegetation and maintain clear areas.

• Hammer Mills: Hammer mills are attachments with rotating hammers that pulverize rocks, concrete, and other hard materials. They are primarily used in demolition projects, road construction, and mining operations to break down debris and prepare materials for recycling or reuse.

• Compaction Wheels: Dozer compaction wheels are attachments with smooth or drum-shaped rollers that compact soil and gravel. They are used in road construction, parking lot paving, and foundation preparation to create a firm and stable base for structures.

• Snow Plows and Blowers: Snow plows and blowers are attachments specifically designed for snow removal. Snow plows push snow to the sides of roads and parking lots, while snow blowers use augers and fans to clear larger areas and throw snow away from the cleared path.

These are just a few of the many attachments available for dozers, each designed to enhance the machine’s capabilities and address specific tasks. The choice of attachments depends on the specific project requirements, terrain conditions, and desired outcomes.
