If you are in the construction sector it is likely that you will be able to benefit by investing in equipment and plant machinery such as excavators dumpers and cranes, to allow your employees to perform their jobs more efficiently.

With a variety of equipment, each designed to do specific tasks It can be difficult to decide which one is the best fit to your needs and the environment. Take a look at our short guide below to learn the most commonly used machinery used in the construction industry.

180 Degree Backhoe Loader

Backhoe loaders are equipped with powerful hydraulics that can provide outstanding digging trenching, backfilling, backfilling and material handling functions. Their robust and versatile design allows them to be used across the construction industry to assist with digging foundations for many of the biggest construction projects, and also for helping to break roads and asphalt, and also for excavating and demolition projects. They also are heavily utilized for landscaping projects because they can move lots of materials within a short amount of time.

Backhoes are powerful and offer precision handling and performance which allows users to work in places with limited size, in which larger machines might struggle to enter or operate safely. In the end, their smaller size and flexibility makes them more efficient and efficient investment tool.

360 Degree Excavator

An excavator, also called a digger or mechanical shovel is an enormous chunk of the heavy equipment used in construction. Its versatility makes it is a widely used piece of equipment that is employed to do everything from trenching, excavation foundations and material handling to landscaping, forestry mining, and even river Dredging.

The machine's cab is situated on a pivoting platform, called the 'house' that has the boom, stick, and bucket, which are all placed over the carriage that is equipped with wheels or tracks for maneuvering.

Loading Shovel

The loading shovel an extremely heavy work vehicle used in industries like construction. Since it's a wheeled vehicle , it is extremely flexible and was specially designed to help with many different tasks.

They are used most often for the movement and loading of substances across a wide range of uses like quarrying ground clearance block handling, recycling and waste handling, as well as agriculture.

Overhead Gantry Crane

Overhead Gantry cranes (bridge cranes suspended cranes, overhead moving cranes) are massive machines that have cranes that lift heavy objects with an hoisting system that is linked to the trolley.

They are held by a gantry beam, which is supported by wheels and flows through rails. Gantry cranes are typically located on the sides of a factory, or in a huge construction, in addition to docks and areas for outdoor construction and can transport and lift objects for across the entire building. They are most commonly used for the production of large machinery and vehicles as well as for loading and material handling.

Lorry Loader

A lorry loader, or articulated crane, is an hydraulic articulated arm attached to a lorry or truck which is used primarily to unload and load items from the vehicle. It is preferred because the transport and moving of the load requires only one vehicle, not an lorry for transport, as well as a separate crane to unload and load.

The arm comprises of sections which can be folded down when not needed and may also be equipped with a telescopic arm for lifting greater capacities. The majority of cranes permit the operator to view the lifting load from the car's cab However, due to the location on the arms, an operator is either required to have a trained banker to guide the motion or for the operation of the crane using an external remote or controlled by cable, which permits them to exit the cab and observe the work.

Forward Tipping Dumper

The forward-facing dumper may be less hefty than a forward tipping dumper, yet it is an extremely useful piece of machinery for on-site use. It's usually a four-wheeled vehicle, with a loading skip in the front, which allows the driver to watch the load while moving it to the the site.

Most often used to transport waste and other materials The front skip may be tipped so that it dumps the load once the driver is at the appropriate area. Since it is a strong and sturdy vehicle, it is also able to be used as a towing vehicle in order to transport other vehicles or equipment across the site.

Ride On Road Roller

A ride-on roller (sometimes called the roller-compactor or roller) is an engineering vehicle for compacting that is used to compress gravel, soil or asphalt. With sizes that can be adjusted to fit various needs, they utilize the weight of a large drum that is located in rear of the car in order to compress the floor underneath.

They are used primarily in road and construction work as well as to build foundations for building projects. They can also be used in landfill sites to compress debris into smaller sizes.
