How do you differentiate between a "front-end loader" and a
"bulldozer" in
Italian? Or maybe all "big yellow construction things" are considered
"bulldozers" in Italy?
In the US, a "bulldozer" ("dozer") has a large concave blade used
strictly
for scraping, and is not used for loading debris onto trucks.

A "(front (-end)) loader", the type of vehicle involved here, has a bucket,
not a blade, at the front, and is capable of raising the bucket and dumping
the contents into a truck.
