In construction projects such as rainy season farmland renovation and wetland development in wetland or muddy terrain, equipment getting stuck is the biggest problem affecting efficiency. At this time, the vision in choosing a bulldozer directly determines whether the project can proceed smoothly. Choose the right one, and the equipment can operate freely in the mud; choose the wrong one, and frequent getting stuck will bring the project to a standstill, with incalculable losses. Today, we will break down the two core points for choosing a bulldozer in wetland and muddy terrain construction to help you avoid the trap of getting stuck.

Core Point 1: Widened Track Shoes, Reducing Ground Pressure is the Foundation for Anti-Sticking

The soil bearing capacity in wetland and muddy terrain is extremely low, and excessive ground pressure of the equipment will directly lead to sinking. When choosing a bulldozer, track design is the primary consideration, especially track shoe width and ground specific pressure. Ordinary bulldozers have narrow track shoes and high ground specific pressure, which are prone to getting stuck in mud. A single rescue not only requires calling a tow truck but may also cause damage to the chassis due to deep track sinking, with rescue costs often amounting to thousands of yuan, and the loss from construction period delays is even more immeasurable.

One of the core advantages of wetland-specific bulldozers is the widened track shoes. When choosing a bulldozer, the key lies in whether the track shoe width can effectively disperse the equipment weight. Widened track shoes can increase the ground contact area. According to physical principles, under the same weight, the larger the ground contact area, the smaller the ground specific pressure, and the less likely the equipment is to sink. Shandong Hengwang Group's HW26DE bulldozer performs excellently in this aspect. Its track shoe width offers multiple options of 560/610/660mm. The wide track shoes significantly increase the contact area with the ground. Combined with a working weight of 24,200kg, the ground specific pressure is as low as 0.062Mpa . This design allows the equipment to stand firmly in muddy terrain, reducing the risk of getting stuck from the source. When choosing a bulldozer, recognizing models with widened track shoes is the first step in preventing sticking during wetland construction.

Core Point 2: Anti-Clogging Chassis Design, Ensuring Continuous Operation Without "Jamming"

Wetland and muddy terrain not only contain thin mud but may also be mixed with debris such as weeds and stones. If the chassis of an ordinary bulldozer lacks an anti-clogging design, the gap between the track and the chassis is easily blocked by mud and debris, leading to track jamming, reduced transmission efficiency, and even mechanical failures. When choosing a bulldozer, an anti-clogging chassis design is also indispensable, which directly relates to whether the equipment can operate continuously and efficiently.

The chassis system of Hengwang HW26DE bulldozer has been optimized specifically, fully considering the anti-clogging needs of wetland construction. It adopts a forced lubrication gearbox and a hydraulic power-assisted steering system, reducing wear of chassis components caused by mud intrusion; at the same time, the track pitch is 216mm, with 7 supporting wheels and 2 carrier wheels on each side. The reasonable structural layout reduces the probability of mud accumulation and ensures smooth track operation . This anti-clogging chassis design enables the equipment to reduce downtime for cleaning in muddy environments and maintain operational continuity. When choosing a bulldozer, ignoring the anti-clogging design of the chassis, even the best track may lose its function due to "jamming".

Cost and Benefit Comparison: Choosing the Right bulldozer Saves More Than Just Rescue Fees

For ordinary bulldozers in wetland construction, getting stuck is almost a "common occurrence". Each time getting stuck not only takes hours or even days waiting for rescue, with rescue fees and equipment maintenance costs often amounting to tens of thousands of yuan, but more seriously, construction period delays may lead to project liquidated damages. However, choosing a wetland bulldozer with widened track shoes and an anti-clogging chassis may have a slightly higher initial investment, but the long-term benefits far outweigh the costs.

Hengwang HW26DE bulldozer significantly reduces the probability of getting stuck with its optimized design. Combined with a stable power output of 206KW and a blade capacity of 7m³, it can maintain efficient operation in wetland terrain . Based on an average daily operation of 8 hours, compared with ordinary bulldozers that frequently get stuck, it can complete more than 30% more work per month, and the saved rescue costs and increased project benefits are quite considerable. When choosing a bulldozer, only by calculating the "getting stuck account" can you understand the cost-effectiveness advantage of wetland-specific bulldozers.

Hengwang Group HW26DE Bulldozer: A Reliable Choice for Wetland Construction

 For scenarios such as rainy season farmland renovation and wetland development, Hengwang HW26DE bulldozer becomes the preferred choice with two core advantages: first, 560/610/660mm widened track shoes with a low ground specific pressure of 0.062Mpa, fundamentally reducing the risk of getting stuck; second, an anti-clogging chassis design, with forced lubrication gearbox and optimized track layout to reduce mud clogging and ensure continuous operation. In addition, it is equipped with a Weichai WP12 engine, featuring stable power and low fuel consumption, and the positive pressure cab has good visibility and high sealing performance, further improving operational efficiency .

When choosing a bulldozer, in wetland and muddy terrain, only by recognizing the widened track shoes and anti-clogging chassis design can you avoid the trouble of getting stuck.
