D9 Dozer

Nearly half of the large dozers Caterpillar sells are D9 dozers—and for good reason. They’re the smart choice for dozens of applications and environments thanks to unmatched reliability, long life and a wide range of application-specific blades.
Like all Cat® dozers, the productive and efficient D9 is a fully integrated Cat machine—100% designed by Caterpillar and built with all Cat components that work together to deliver top performance and high availability. With the D9, you’ll move more dirt at the lowest possible cost.

Sound The average dynamic spectator sound power level when ISO 6395:2008 is used to measure the value for a machine is 116 dB(A). The measurement was conducted at 70% of the maximum engine cooling fan speed. The sound level may vary at different engine cooling fan speeds. NOTE: The dynamic sound power level uncertainty is +/-2 dB(A).
Sound (1) The average dynamic operator sound pressure level when ISO 6396:2008 is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab is 78 dB(A). The measurement was conducted at 70% of the maximum engine cooling fan speed. The sound level may vary at different engine cooling fan speeds. The cab was properly installed and maintained. The measurement was conducted with the cab doors and the cab windows closed. NOTE: The dynamic operator sound pressure level uncertainty is +/-2 dB(A).
