It has an enforced cab and can be used in rocky areas, where there is risk of rockfalls and rollovers. The bulldozer is designed for a wide range of tasks in construction, melioration, in mining, oil and gas industries for excavation work on grounds of 1-4 categories, including frozen and rocky soil.

UVZ displayed two full-sized models developed by JSC CRI Burevestnik (located in Nizhny Novgorod).
