Dymax reclamation U-blade on a Caterpillar D9T track dozer, pushing overburden on a mine reclamation site

Reclamation Mining Dozer Blades

MOVE 40% MORE MATERIAL PER PASS

The Dymax Reclamation Mining Blade uses large U-shaped wings and a proven moldboard radius to carry more overburden with less spillage.

It’s a design the Balderson family pioneered for reclamation and coal work generations ago, now built for Cat and Komatsu dozers from the D6 class up to the D11.

APPLICATIONS

  • Overburden dozing — Move loose fill dropped by the dragline.
  • Slot dozing — Build and hold a U-shaped pile in front of the machine with less spillage over the edges.
  • Mine reclamation —Push mined-out ground back to grade once mining wraps.

STANDARD FEATURES

  • 28° wing angles build a U-shaped pile in front of the machine and hold it there throughout the push.
  • Replaceable bolt-on cutting edges and end bits.
  • Mounts to factory outside-mounted push arms.
  • T1 moldboard group on larger models for added strength.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR BLADE

  • Liner wear packages for moderate-to-high abrasion, from AR400 to full chrome-carbide facing.
  • Vertical slat rock guards on the top moldboard to shed oversize material.
  • White iron wear blocks, heavy-duty replaceable side cutters, or side replacement shrouds for added protection in the most punishing material.
  • Custom designs. Our expertise ensures every blade is engineered for optimal performance, durability, and efficiency – no matter the application.

FAQ’S

A reclamation dozer blade is an oversized U-shaped blade built to push loose fill — overburden that’s already been pulled from the pit and dropped by a dragline — back into mined-out ground.

The large wings build a U-shaped pile in front of the machine, so it carries far more material per pass than a general-purpose blade.

They mount to factory outside-mounted push arms on Cat and Komatsu crawler dozers, from the D6 class up to the D11. 

Standard capacities run from 10.46 cubic yards and 12 feet wide on a D6-class machine to 70 cubic yards and 24 feet wide on a D11.

For moderate to high abrasion, add an AR400 liner package. For the most punishing material, add a full chrome-carbide 3/8-on-3/8 facing across the moldboard, plus replaceable side cutters and vertical slat rock guards.

Custom wear packages are available.
