Task 3

Browse on website about the ninth construction site equipment above and explain briefly about
their each application and usages.

1. Scaffolding

Scaffolding, steger or scaffolding is a work platform that is created temporarily and is used as a
workforce buffer. Usually scaffolding is made if the building has reached a height of 2 meters
and cannot be reached by workers. Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support people
and material in the construction or repair of buildings and other large buildings. Scaffolding is
generally in the form of a modular system of metal pipes or tubes, although it can also use other
materials.

2. Backhoe

Backhoe loaders are usually used for operations that are required to mobilize high materials so
as not to damage other materials or work platforms, backhoe loaders do not require high traction.
The function of small excavators and buckets is in accordance with road construction works such
as maintenance of canals on the highway, digging utilities, digging trenches, drains, line pipes
and much more.

3. Crawler crane

Crawler Crane is one type of crane, where this tool is a lifter commonly used in construction
projects. The way the crane works is by lifting the material to be moved, moving it horizontally,
then lowering the material where desired. Crawler Crane is a crane with cogs made of steel
shoes (track shoes) which are driven by sprocket and chains. So the track-shoe can move.
Track-shoes and cogs in crawler cranes are made of cast steel, while for crawler cranes are
widely used on uneven work fields. The top of this crawler crane can rotate 360º and move
inside the project site while doing its work. If other projects will be used, the crane will be
transported using a lowbed trailer.

4. Jackhammer
 Jackhammer (pneumatic drill or demolition hammer in English English) is a pneumatic or
electro-mechanical device that combines a hammer directly with a chisel. Jackhammer operates
by moving the internal hammer up and down. The hammer is first pushed down to hit the back
and then back up to return the hammer to its original position to repeat the cycle. The
effectiveness of a jackhammer depends on how much power is applied to the tool. It is
commonly used as a hammer to break hard surfaces or stones in construction work and is not
considered to be equipment that moves underground, along with its accessories (ie pusher feet,
lubricants).

5. Bulldozer

A bulldozer is a tractor type machine that has a track or chain at the bottom. This tool also has
4 types of blades on the front and can be used interchangeably.This machine is used to dig, push,
displace, and also dredge material. Bulldozers can be used to clear land from trees, open new
land, move material, fill material in scraper, clean quarry, and so on.

6. A pile driver / mobil crane

Mobile Crane (Truck Crane) is a crane that is located directly on the mobile (Truck) so that it
can be brought directly to the work site without having to use a vehicle (trailer). This crane has
legs (foundation / pole) that can be paired when operating, this is intended so that when
operating the crane to be balanced. Mobil crane usually used in project work, port work,
workshop, industry, warehousing etc.

7. A pile boring

Pile foundation (pile foundation) is part of the structure used to receive and transfer (distribute)
the load from the upper structure to the supporting soil which is located at a certain depth. Long
and slim pile shapes that channel the burden to deeper ground. The main ingredients of the pole
are wood, steel (steel), and concrete. Piles made of this material are beaten, drilled or jacked into
the ground and connected to a pile cap (poer).

8. Concrete pump

Concrete pump / concrete pump is a device used to drive the results of the concrete liquid that
has been processed from a mixer truck. Usually a concrete pump is used to cast concrete slabs,
basement floors, or it can also be the foundation of a swimming pool. The point is the concrete
pump is used to do casting that is difficult to do manually.

9. Dump truck

A dump truck is a truck whose contents can be emptied without handling. A dump truck is
usually used to transport goods such as sand, gravel or soil for construction purposes. In general,
the tipping truck is equipped with an open body that is operated with hydraulic assistance, the
front of the body can be lifted up so that the material being transported can sag down to the
desired place.
