Shantui SD16 Bulldozer is a 160‑horsepower mid‑size crawler dozer, one of Shantui’s best‑selling and most reliable models — widely used for road construction, land clearing, farmland improvement, water conservancy, site preparation, and general civil engineering. Factory‑ready with 3‑shank multi‑tooth soil loosener (ripper) — the ideal all‑in‑one machine for breaking hardpan, compacted soil, frozen ground, soft rock, and ripping before dozing.

Powered by Weichai WD10G178E25 / WP10 or Shangchai SC11CB184G2B1 turbocharged inline‑6 diesel: 131 kW (176 HP) gross / 120 kW (160 HP) net @ 1850 rpm, with 830 N·m peak torque @ 1100–1200 rpm — strong low‑end torque for ripping and pushing heavy loads. Meets China Stage III / Tier 2 emissions.
Proven 3‑speed forward / 3‑speed reverse planetary powershift transmission: F1 0–3.29 / F2 0–5.82 / F3 0–9.63 km/h; R1 0–4.28 / R2 0–7.59 / R3 0–12.53 km/h. Wet‑disc steering & brakes; 30° gradeability.
Standard 3‑shank ripper (soil loosener): three adjustable teeth, max ripping depth 572 mm, max lifting height 592 mm — effectively loosens compacted soil, gravel, hard clay, and moderately weathered rock. Rip width 1900 mm; tooth spacing 950 mm. Works in tandem with blade for continuous rip‑and‑doze efficiency.
Blade options: Straight‑tilt (4.5 m³), U‑Blade (5.0 m³), Angle blade (4.3 m³). Blade lift height ~1095–1130 mm; max cutting depth 540 mm.
Operating weight: 17 000 kg (standard, with ripper); ground pressure 58 kPa (560mm shoes). Multiple variants available: SD16C (Coal), SD16E (Extended), SD16L (Wetland — 25 kPa), SD16R (Waste), SD16D (Desert).
