It’s a custom made machine in Australia, nothing to do with cat themselves. Google custom d12 Australia, it’s not that hard. It’s a d11 that’s been lengthened , widened, & has a motor from a 789 dump truck in it
Can't see cat make a bigger production dozer for a while yet .The komatsu d575 failed miserably & nevermind the logistics of transportation of parts to the site .There comes a stage when size becomes a disadvantage rather than an advantage.
@@jjMcCartan9686i agree they wont make one,theres no need for them to do so.At least here in Australia there is a 2 year wait list to get a new dozer built(d10 class and above)
They made 1 here in Australia. From what i have learnt it was made not by cat, but by a mining group or similar and not for production but for their own use.
Ran a Cat D22 RT a few times! Which actually 2 D11s a R & T series pushing side with blades together! Also we put a D10N,D9H, D11N,D10R all together in on solid push, I was actually on D10R guy on D9H said he was just along for the ride ! He was afraid dirt was going to roll over blade on top of him!
Quote “how they are built they take a D11R or N model, remove the standard 850hp (V8) engine, stretch out the chassis, making it longer to give them the extra space to shoe horn in a Cat 3512 (V12) engine taken from a giant Cat 785 dump truck. This configuration bumps the power up to an impressive 1250hp The same D11 transmission is used, but they utilise the trucks torque converter and lock up clutch arrangement” I believe 2 were custom for Mearns Hire in Australia and not by Caterpillar themselves.
A prototype was made a while back that had a cooling system mounted on top of the cab to cool the 1200hp engine. The big difference between the D11 was bigger engine size but not so much bigger in size. It was bigger but not a lot bigger. 👍
Interesting video. I used to work repairing Cat Tractors, mainly D6, D8, D9 and D10 flat Track and High Drive variants. As I see it the design base for the heavier High Drive Tractor made the Machine unsuitable in soft conditions but also put a lot of strain on Track adjusters, idler Trunnion Caps and Pivot Shafts. The D11 was in my opinion the absolute limit for the High Track design layout. Introducing a larger Tractor (D12) on the current design platform I don’t think is viable so a redesign would be needed to deal with the huge forces generated from say a 785Engine through a Multi stage Torque into a Planetary Powershift and combined Final Drive. It’s not beyond Cats ability to produce such a Machine but for R&D investment and product certification they would need to sell 100’s of Machines a year worldwide, interesting.
@@Podus81 it’s not for me to say but like all designs they evolve over time. A smaller, faster more powerful Tractor might appear when tech allows for it.
There is a market for a D12. I think the only reason they haven't built it is it will replace the D11 in a some of the cases. If that is the case it just would hurt D11 sales which doesn't help Cat.
So I’m gonna go with the theory that there was a D11 modified in to a prototype D12 and it worked and then it was taken apart and rebuilt in to a D11 and no photos were taken of the beast leaving Komatsu with the largest dozer built. Works for me.
Closest thing to D12 is Australian rebuild of a D11 with a bigger Hp engine in it! Two D6s pushing side by side! So is two D11s pushing side by side be a D22? You know in 70s and 80s they actually took D8s and D9 and put them end to end or side together! Guess they would be D16 and D18 ?
A Caterpillar D12 would encounter the same problems that kept the Acco Super Bulldozer from being practical, Such as it was too big to transport it from one place to another. The Cat D12 would end up in a museum just like the Super Bulldozer is now.
Komatsu has not made a 575 for some year's now due to cost per unit and need or order's SO WHY would Cat make a D12???? It would requiere a completely new MASSIVE build line little if any of the D11 could be used?? And I don't belive it would be twice as big as a D11 not in a long shoot!!!! DON"T SEE IT HAPPENING but you can always dream!!
No such thing as an official caterpillar D12😂😂😂. An unlicensed version that a company in oz modified to increase the engine bay so that they could shove a Cat 785 3512B engine in it to take it to over 1200Hp . And they decided they would re-label their altered D11 with a D12 label🤔
They need to build bigger as tech changes and efficiency needs change over a few years a electric D12 will be on the cards less diesel less moving parts.
Yes sir, because in the future the development of the mining industry will be even greater, diesel is running out. then we expect D12 to be created with part of the electricity.
Komatsu D575A-3 SD (SUPER DOZER) is bigger than the D11 at 168tons compared to the D11's 124ton. I can definitely see CAT coming out with a D12 version to match Komatsu's.
This is a myth. There’s no need and no plan to ever build anything bigger than a D11. Look at what happened to the Komatsu 575! The 475 is a monster and one hell of a machine I have to say, even though my patriotic roots scream Cat Cat Cat! Those Japanese engineers know how to build a world class machine, I guess they both have their good points and their detractors. The only thing that really matters to me is no more frickin AI crap! Wait until you’re standing in the unemployment line and can’t feed your family or your children, then maybe those engineers will start to take it seriously! 🇺🇸🇯🇵💪👊🤙
Click Bait. Why would Cat develop a D12 when the Komatsu 575 was discontinued due to lack of sales? They wouldn't. Then there is the issue of transporting such a large machine, already no small feat with the D11.
@0:45: "Some ESTIMATES say it will be TWICE the size of the D11". 🤣🤣🤣 And I "Estimate" that someone is either FULL of SH*T or that they've been smoking WAAAAY too much Crack! Seriously, twice the size of a D11? Have you ever ran a D11? I have, for years and 1,000's of hours! I've run D11N's/D11T's/D10T's/D9's/and a D7 (the smallest Dozer we had on our Coal Mine). On a Side note, We also had Komatsu dozers that were "supposed" to be Equal to a Cat 11 but the Komatsu's would go out into our Regrade Area and get stuck, then a D11 would go out to the Komatsu and get it out.....that is, when the Komatsu's were broken down, which ours stayed most of the time. The Operators AND Mechanics absolutely hated the Komatsu Dozers. Another Mine near us had 2 Komatsu Dozers at each Dragline. One was used for a Ground Tractor and the other sat off to the side as a spare for when the 1st one broke down, which I've been told, was Often.
The only D12 is in Australia and they're just a modified D11 it's not a production model and most likely never will be because mining is not as big as it used to be if they were gonna produce a D12 they would've already done it when Komatsu did the 575 SD

It is possible that the D12 bulldozer can be assembled at the job site, making transportation easier.
I agree, it’s too big to be practical and if a dozer that size was practical they’d still make the Komatsu 575
