CONSTUCTION EQUIPMENT

Crane The crane is another popular piece of construction equipment that is mainly used for deconstruction. Cranes are operated by a series of cables that lower and lift materials and are mainly used on projects dealing with temporary structures.

Backhoe Loader A backhoe loader is a type of construction equipment that has a front bucket or shovel and a small backhoe in the rear. And the entire piece of equipment is combined with a tractor.

Crawler The crawler is another type of construction vehicle and is also called a bulldozer (as are all heavy engineering vehicles). A crawler is essentially a tractor that has a dozer blade attached to it. Crawlers are powerful vehicles commonly used for a variety of bigger construction projects.

Loader A loader is another type of construction vehicle that is also known as a bucket loader, front-end loader, scoop loader, or front loader. Essentially, a loader is a tractor that uses a front mounted square bucket connected to the end of two arms to scoop, lift, and move materials. Excavator An excavator is a general type of construction and engineering vehicle that has an articulated arm and a bucket and a cab that is mounted on a pivot. Excavators have a variety of uses for both farm and construction work.

Forklift A forklift is a high-powered vehicle used to lift and transport heavy items and materials

Road Roller is also known as a roller-compactor and is used mainly in road construction but can be used for a variety of other purposes including compacting soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt. In some parts of the world, road rollers are commonly known as steam rollers Road Paver A paver (paver is a piece of construction bridges, parking lots and and providing minor finisher, asphalt finisher, paving machine) equipment used to lay asphalt on roads, other such places. It lays the asphalt flat compaction before it is rolled by a roller

Dump Truck dump truck (or, UK, dumper truck) is a truck used for transporting loose material (such as sand, gravel, or dirt) for construction.

Concrete Mixer concrete mixer (also commonly called a cement mixer) is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete

Concrete Pump A concrete pump is a machine used for transferring liquid concrete by pumping. There are two types of concrete pumps.

Drifter A Drifter is either a hydraulic or pneumatic powered rock or ground drill placed on top of a feed. The feed is like a rail that the drill travels on, aka. drifts. This kind of drilling procedure is also called drifting

Breaker A breaker is a powerful percussion hammer fitted to an excavator for demolishing concrete structures or rocks. It is powered by an auxiliary hydraulic system from the excavator, which is fitted with a foot-operated valve for this purpose.

Road Cutting Machine It is used for pavement repairing or trench excavation in the sectors of road, municipal engineering, construction, gas and telecommunication.
Grader A grader, also commonly referred to as a road grader, a blade, a maintainer, or a motor grader, is a construction machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface

Drill A drill is a tool fitted with a cutting tool attachment or driving tool attachment, usually a drill bit or driver bit, used for drilling holes in various materials orfastening various materials together with the use of fasteners

Circular Saw The circular saw is a machine using a toothed metal cutting disc or blade. The term is also loosely used for the blade itself. The blade is a tool for cutting wood or other materials and may be hand-held or table-mounted

Jackhammer A jackhammer (pneumatic drill or demolition hammer in British English) is a pneumatic or electromechancial tool that combines a hammer directly with a chisel.
