dozer
Heavy construction vehicle
A dozer is a bulldozer—a heavy machine with a broad blade for pushing earth, debris, or other material.
The shortened form is standard in construction contexts: The dozer cleared the lot in an afternoon.
A dozer can also be someone who dozes, though this use is rare.
