Militarized heavy equipment may also take on the form of traditional civilian equipment designed and built to unique military specifications. Some examples of armoured civilian heavy equipment are the IDF Caterpillar D9, American D7 TPK, Canadian D6 armoured bulldozer, cranes, graders, excavators, and M35 2-1/2 ton cargo truck. Often this protection is provided by armour plates and steel jackets. Typically, this involves adding armour for protection from battlefield hazards such as artillery, unexploded ordnance, mines, and small arms fire. Military engineers may also use civilian heavy equipment which was modified for military applications. Bulldozers, cranes, graders, excavators, dump trucks, loaders, and backhoes all see extensive use by military engineers. Military engineering can employ a wide variety of heavy equipment in the same or similar ways to how this equipment is used outside the military. The civilian tractor is fitted with an armor kit, produced by Israel Military Industries. Types of military engineering vehicles Civilian and militarized heavy equipment
