Cobra shows latest Shantui hydrostatic bulldozer range

Cobra Equipment Sales, the factory-authorised Shantui dealer in Australia, is showing off the latest model in the hydrostatic bulldozer range

The Shantui DH17-C3F offers an impressive high- end finish and wide-range visibility in an enlarged cabin, which Cobra says is bigger than mainstream brands, according to its customer feedback.

Inside the cabin, the right-hand proportional pressure control joystick controls the blade and ripper, while the left-hand joystick controls all directions and speed movements. Also featuring a large, user-friendly monitor display, the cabin is set up for efficiency and ease of movement when working.

Using the new Weichai WP10 203.83hp (152kW) engine, the dozer is fuel-efficient and has the new two-stage air filter – providing filtration efficiency of more than 99.9 per cent and integrated pre-filtration.

A Linde HST (hydrostatic transmission system) allows for quick shift or constantly variable speed. The HST consists of a dual-path closed cycle system with two variable displacement piston pumps and two variable displacement travel motors.

Hydrostatic steering eliminates steering clutches and brakes, providing smooth and powerful turns.

The Shantui DH17-C3F offers a choice of blades in heavy strength steel – semi U blade, straight tilt or U type blade – and the adjustment of the blade lift and tilt can be done simultaneously to increase productivity. It also comes with a three-shank ripper, hydraulic winch, or drawbar.

The long track on ground improves the machine’s stability, grading, and dozing performance. The track frame design with equaliser bar uses thicker box section material and fewer welded components, providing increased rigidity and strength.

The DH17-C3F is designed with wide maintenance access to the engine, hydraulics, and electrical systems. Hydraulic pressure testing has a centralised location, and all daily maintenance can be performed at ground level, offering operational simplicity.

Shantui Construction Machinery Co is the world’s largest manufacturer of bulldozers, attributing this position to strong international demand and its ability to exceed emissions and safety standards.

Cobra Equipment Sales, founded in 2005, has long focused on supplying top quality, well-manufactured new earthmoving equipment and is proud to have been an authorised dealer for Shantui Construction Machinery since 2018.
