The Generation 8 series span a wide range of operating weights and power outputs to meet diverse construction site requirements. The PR 716 G8, with an operating weight of 29,321.45 lbs (13,300 kg), is ideal for compact, precise work, while the PR 776 G8, weighing up to 161,354 lbs (73,189 kg) and delivering 565 kW (768 hp), is designed for the most challenging heavy-duty tasks.
High-performance crawler dozers for demanding construction tasks
All Generation 8 models feature a hydrostatic travel drive that ensures smooth, precise movement, and maximizing efficiency across all operating conditions. Integrated driver assistance systems support operators by automatically controlling blade positioning for accurate grading, reducing fatigue, and improving productivity on long shifts. The machines’ cabs have been designed with operator comfort as a priority, featuring fully adjustable suspended seats, advanced climate control, large windows for optimal visibility, and intuitive touchscreen displays for easy control of functions. In addition, the Generation 8 dozers offer optimized fuel efficiency and low emissions, combining high performance with sustainable operation. These enhancements make the machines highly versatile, capable of handling everything from large-scale earthmoving to fine grading and slope work.
Versatile applications across global construction sites
Generation 8 crawler dozers are engineered for diverse applications, including urban infrastructure projects, mining operations, road construction, and environmental projects. Their robust undercarriage, powerful engines, and adaptable blade configurations make them suitable for a wide range of terrain, from soft soils and sand to rocky landscapes. The PR 716 G8 and PR 726 G8 are particularly effective in precision tasks such as trenching, landscaping, and fine grading. Both the PR 736 and the PR 746 are the perfect bridging machines, to more demanding jobsites, while the larger crawler dozers from PR 756 G8 and PR 776 G8 excel in heavy-duty earthmoving, dam construction, and quarry operations.
The machines’ GNSS readiness and smart ECO modes allow operators to execute tasks fully automatically with high accuracy while minimizing fuel consumption. In addition, the hydrostatic drive train delivers up to 20 percent fuel savings compared to conventional drive trains, further enhancing efficiency. The availability of multiple blade types, including 6-way and straight blades, ensures flexibility for diverse job requirements and site conditions. These machines are built to operate reliably in extreme climates, from hot and arid regions to cold and wet environments, making them a trusted choice for construction companies around the world.
Investments at Telfs: Ready for the future
