The Krawler Model D is a heavy duty earthmover developed by Logi Motor Company.
Development
The Model D was designed in parallel with the E-564 Excavator, for off-road use in work sites. Featuring a unique two-idler track layout, the design elevated the drive wheel off the ground to allow for travel across more rough terrain.
Design
The two-idler track design moved the drive power off the ground and above the harsh terrain, allowing the model D to perform hard work in rough areas. Its blade moves in two planes, and can plow, scrape, and push. In the rear, tines allow for uprooting of ground as well as a Universal hitch for attaching trailers.
Variants
DE-2
Modified Model D with single idler and road-level drive wheel. Designed as a more compact version of the Model D, the DE-2 was not as popular, but still found use in urban construction sites where a smaller dozer was more advantageous, as well as mining operations where the lower vertical size of the DE-2 fit better in tight clearances.
