Step Into Mining-Class Production Power

Shantui DH46-C3 Crawler Dozer

The DH46-C3 is the most powerful model in Shantui’s C3-series hydrostatic bulldozer range, engineered for demanding production environments where serious pushing power, durability and control matter.

With a 56,200 kg operating weight, Cummins QSX15 engine and up to 380 kW / 510 HP, the DH46-C3 is built for heavy earthmoving, ripping and mine-site production.

  • Mining and quarry operations
  • Large-scale bulk earthmoving
  • Heavy civil construction
  • Demanding dozing and ripping applications

Serious Power for Serious Production

  • Cummins QSX15 diesel engine
    Up to 380 kW / 510 HP for demanding dozing and ripping work
  • Linde hydrostatic travel drive
    Rapid response with high transmission efficiency and continuously variable travel
  • 730 kN maximum drawbar pull
    Built to put serious pushing force into the ground

The DH46-C3 combines its Cummins engine with Shantui’s hydrostatic drive control system, automatically adapting to changing loads and maintaining efficient power delivery.

  • No manual gear shifting required
  • Continuously variable travel speed from 0–11 km/h
  • Independent drive control for each track
  • Steering capability while under load

Move More Material Every Pass

At the front of the machine is a high-capacity Semi-U blade designed to support major production work.

  • 13.7 m³ Semi-U blade capacity
  • 4,320 mm blade width
  • 650 mm digging depth
  • 900 mm maximum blade tilt

The blade geometry has been optimised to improve material rolling during dozing and reduce resistance as material moves across the blade.

Power That Automatically Adapts to the Job

  • Automatic load matching helps adjust the hydrostatic transmission ratio as working conditions change
  • Trackslip control manages track speed when slip occurs
  • Multiple travel and control modes allow machine response to be adjusted to different operating preferences
  • Speed preset functionality helps the operator maintain preferred travel settings

Instead of constantly fighting the machine, the DH46-C3’s hydrostatic control system is designed to keep power delivery matched to the work.

Built to Stay Productive on Rough Ground

A machine of this size needs more than horsepower. It needs to keep that power connected to the ground.

  • K-bogie suspension undercarriage helps maintain traction over rugged terrain
  • Floating track roller system helps reduce machine vibration
  • High-strength box-type mainframe is designed to resist bending and torsional loads
  • Lubricated track chains support extended component life
  • Heavy-duty single-shank ripper uses high-strength steel and a tube-beam structure

A Ripper Built for Tough Ground

  • Maximum ripping depth: 1,204 mm
  • Maximum penetration force: 168 kN
  • Maximum pryout force: 342 kN
  • Hydraulic pitch adjustment: up to 29°

When the job requires breaking hard material before pushing it, the DH46-C3 has the rear working equipment to match its front-end production capability.

Reduce Fuel Consumption Without Giving Up Capability

High output matters, but so does the cost of producing it.

  • Shantui ECO mode operates the engine within its most economical working range
  • The brochure states fuel consumption in ECO mode can be 15% lower than standard operating mode
  • Load-sensitive hydraulics provide oil flow according to demand
  • Hydraulically controlled cooling fan varies fan speed according to cooling requirements
  • Stable engine control helps minimise unnecessary engine-speed fluctuations under changing loads

The goal is simple: put more of the machine’s power into productive work instead of wasting it through unnecessary losses.

Designed for Long-Hour Operation

The DH46-C3 cab is designed around visibility, control and operator comfort for demanding shifts.

  • Air-suspended high-back comfort seat
  • Heated seat
  • Heating and cooling air conditioning
  • 10.1-inch intelligent touchscreen display
  • Rear-view camera with automatic activation when reversing
  • Large-angle side mirrors to reduce blind spots
  • Integrated ROPS/FOPS protection
  • Sealed, dust-resistant and vibration-damped cab installation

Precision Control From Two Joysticks

  • One joystick controls travel and steering
  • Integrated acceleration and deceleration controls
  • Electronic joystick control for the working equipment
  • Precise machine response designed to reduce operator effort

Cooling Built for Heavy Work

  • Distributed temperature-controlled cooling system
  • Hydraulically driven main cooling fan
  • Automatic and manual fan reversing functions help prevent long-term clogging
  • Optional transfer gearbox circulation cooling system for high-temperature applications

Built to Keep Maintenance Within Reach

  • Tilt cab can be manually tilted backwards for access to internal piping and hydraulic components
  • External lubrication points improve access for routine servicing
  • Optional centralised lubrication system covers major lubrication points
  • Non-slip steps and strategically positioned handrails improve machine access
  • Engine maintenance lighting assists inspection and maintenance at night

A production machine only makes money when it is working. Easier service access helps reduce the time required for routine inspection and maintenance.

Why Choose the DH46-C3?

  • 56.2-tonne operating weight for serious heavy-duty work
  • Up to 380 kW / 510 HP from the Cummins QSX15 engine
  • Linde hydrostatic travel drive
  • 13.7 m³ Semi-U blade
  • 730 kN maximum drawbar pull
  • Heavy-duty single-shank ripper
  • K-bogie suspension undercarriage
  • Shantui ECO operating mode
  • Comfortable, intelligent operator environment

Imagine This

You put 510 HP to work

You push larger volumes every pass

You rip difficult ground before production slows down

The hydrostatic drive automatically adapts as loads change

Your operator stays comfortable through long shifts

And the machine keeps producing

Take On Bigger Work

If you need a dozer built for mining, major earthmoving and high-production work, take a closer look at the DH46-C3.

When the job gets bigger, your equipment needs to be ready for it.
