2022 Caterpillar D5 LGP Diesel

Hours 5895 | Year 2022 | Make Caterpillar | Model D5 LGP | Category Dozer

This late-model 2022 Caterpillar D5 LGP dozer, NLEQ inventory #147677, brings proven Caterpillar reliability together with the ground-friendly performance contractors demand on today’s jobsites. With 5,895 operating hours and a factory-enclosed, heated and air conditioned cab, this low ground pressure machine is a strong fit for earthmoving operations that need flotation, traction, and operator comfort in one versatile package. Backed by NLEQ’s thorough inspection and testing process, this machine is presented with accurate, honest details so you can make a confident purchase decision.

Built for heavy-duty work and precise grading, the Caterpillar D5 LGP balances the power and durability of a dozer with the lower psi contact of an LGP undercarriage. That combination helps you keep production moving where standard dozers struggle—soft subgrades, saturated topsoil, environmentally sensitive areas, landfills, and finish-grade applications where rutting and rework can eat away at margins. Add the comfort of a climate-controlled cab and the efficiency of a modern diesel powerplant, and you have a dozer purpose-built to deliver dependable output shift after shift.

Condition

Every unit NLEQ offers for sale is carefully tested and inspected before listing, and this 2022 Caterpillar D5 LGP dozer is no exception. Operational checks and a thorough walkaround are performed so you receive reliable, fact-based information. Hour meters, key systems, and features are verified, and we are happy to provide additional photos, video, or a live walkaround on request. Because we focus on accuracy and transparency, buyers know exactly what they are getting—no surprises on delivery.

While used equipment always reflects honest jobsite use, the late model year of this machine means you benefit from more modern design improvements and operator amenities, helping extend productive life and resale value. Ask us for the latest inspection notes for this specific dozer so you can assess fit for your applications and fleet standards.

Advantages that Matter on the Job

Low Ground Pressure: The LGP configuration distributes machine weight over a larger footprint, reducing ground disturbance and improving flotation on soft or unstable surfaces. This is especially important when working in wet conditions, delicate soils, or on projects with strict restoration requirements. Lower surface pressure helps prevent sinking and rutting, allowing you to maintain forward progress, minimize rework, and leave a cleaner, more professional finish.

Heated & Air Conditioned Cab: A comfortable operator is a productive operator. The enclosed, climate-controlled cab reduces fatigue and helps maintain focus across long shifts and seasonal temperature swings. Better comfort supports consistent cycle times, more precise blade control, and safer operation—benefits that compound over the life of the machine.

Diesel Power: Caterpillar’s diesel powerplants are engineered for durability, fuel efficiency, and torque in tough conditions. Strong low-end performance helps the dozer push through resistant materials, climb grades confidently, and maintain control during fine grading. Combined with Caterpillar’s dealer network and parts availability, that reliability keeps downtime low and productivity high.

Low Ownership Risk: The combination of a recognized brand, LGP capability, and an enclosed, climate-controlled cab creates a desirable specification set that’s easier to deploy across varied jobsites and simpler to remarket down the road. That makes this D5 LGP a practical addition for contractors who demand both performance and long-term value.

About Commonly Requested Configurations

Contractors often ask about specific configurations and attachments when evaluating a Caterpillar D5 LGP. While this listing presents only the verified specifications above, we can help you verify current setup or explore options. Here’s what buyers frequently consider—and why it matters:

• Sweeps: Protective guarding that helps shield the cab area from limbs and debris in land clearing and forestry work. If your projects involve timber or heavy brush, sweeps can be an important safety and uptime consideration.
• Earthworks: Many owners integrate modern grade control solutions such as Trimble Earthworks to increase accuracy and reduce rework. If you require machine control compatibility, our team can help discuss fit-out options or verify what’s installed.
• 33" Tracks: Wider pads are commonly used on LGP dozers to further reduce ground pressure and increase flotation. Confirm track width on this unit with our team if pad size is critical to your soils and compaction targets.
• VPAT Blade: A Variable Pitch Angle Tilt blade provides exceptional versatility for both rough and fine grading, allowing multiple blade adjustments without changing attachments. If you need multi-function grading performance and finish quality, a VPAT blade is a proven solution.
• Drawbar: Useful for towing and support tasks on site. If your workflow includes pulling scrapers, discs, or ancillary equipment, verify drawbar availability and specifications for this machine.

Any of the items above can significantly influence dozer performance and jobsite flexibility. Let NLEQ confirm exactly how this D5 LGP is equipped today and discuss options to align it with your project requirements.

Applications

• Site Preparation and Mass Earthmoving: Move cut/fill efficiently while protecting subgrades in soft or saturated areas.
• Fine Grading and Slopes: Achieve smooth, precise surfaces for pads, roads, and utilities; versatility improves when paired with the appropriate blade configuration and machine control.
• Road and Utility Work: Maintain traction and grade quality in trench backfill and right-of-way work where surface protection matters.
• Landfill and Environmental Projects: Lower ground pressure helps minimize disturbance and maintain compliance on sensitive or capped sites.
• Land Management: When properly guarded, the machine can support clearing, ROW maintenance, and reclamation where flotation aids access.

Across these applications, the Caterpillar D5 LGP dozer is valued for balanced power, controllability, and the ability to keep working where conventional tracks can bog down.

Ownership Value

Choosing a Caterpillar D5 LGP from 2022 gives you a durable, modern platform with broad dealer support and a strong domestic parts supply. That support ecosystem directly impacts your total cost of ownership by shortening maintenance windows, reducing downtime, and protecting resale value when it’s time to rotate fleet assets.

Beyond parts and service, the low ground pressure setup broadens your deployment window—fewer weather-related delays, fewer reroutes around soft areas, and fewer remediation passes after heavy equipment traffic. Over a season, those saved days and reduced rework can more than justify the premium for an LGP machine versus a conventional track configuration.

Why This D5 LGP

This 2022 Caterpillar D5 LGP dozer, with 5,895 hours, hits a practical sweet spot for contractors seeking a later-model, professionally inspected machine with a comfortable, heated and air conditioned cab and LGP performance. The specification aligns well with contractors who need reliable pushing power, stable grading control, and reduced ground disturbance without sacrificing productivity. With transparent details and a competitive price point of $229,875.00, it’s a work-ready solution for crews that value uptime and predictable results.
