Earth Moving Equipment


Excavators
earth-moving vehicles that provide superior digging power and mobility, allowing
this heavy equipment to perform various functions, from digging trenches and
breaking holes to lifting away waste and excavating mines.
Backhoe
A backhoe — also called a rear actor or back actor — is excavating equipment, or
digger, consisting of a digging bucket on the end of a two-part articulated arm. It is
typically mounted on the back of a tractor or front loader, the latter forming
a “backhoe loader.”
Bulldozers
used to push large quantities of soil, sand, rubble, or other material during
construction or conversion work and typically equipped at the rear with a claw-like
device to loosen densely compacted materials.
Trenchers
used to dig trenches, especially for laying pipes or electrical cables, installing
drainage, or preparing for trench warfare.
Motor Scrapers
it is a piece of heavy equipment used for earthmoving. The scraper can transport its
load to the fill area where the blade is raised, the back panel of the hopper, or the
ejector, is hydraulically pushed forward, and the soil or clay load tumbles out.

#2. Construction Vehicles


Dumpers
designed for carrying bulk material, often on building sites. Dumpers are
distinguished from dump trucks by configuration: a dumper is usually an open 4-
wheeled vehicle with the load skip in front of the driver, while a dump truck has its
cab in front of the load.

Tippers
is used for taking dumps for construction and coal. And , used for carrying aggregate,
crushed rock, soil, and other bulk materials to and from construction sites.

Trailers
It is commonly used for the transport of goods and materials. Sometimes
recreational vehicles, travel trailers, or mobile homes with limited living facilities
where people can camp or stay have been referred to as trailers.

#3. Material Handling Equipment


Cranes
A crane is a machine, generally equipped with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains, and
sheaves, that can be used to lift and lower materials and move them horizontally. It
is mainly used for lifting heavy things and transporting them to other places.
Conveyers
A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves
materials from one location to another. Conveyors are especially useful in
applications involving the transport of heavy or bulky materials.
Forklifts
A forklift is a powered industrial truck used to lift and move materials over short
distances. In the early 20th century, the forklift was developed by various
companies, including Clark, which made transmissions, and Yale & Towne
Manufacturing, which made hoists.

#4. Construction Equipment


Concrete Mixers
A concrete mixer (often commonly called a cement mixer) is a device that
homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to
form concrete.
Road Rollers
A road roller is a compactor-type engineering vehicle used to compact soil, gravel,
concrete, or Asphalt in constructing roads and foundations.
Hot mix plants
is used for mixing the dry, warm aggregate, padding, and Asphalt for homogeneous
mixture at the required temperature, and it is widely used for the construction of
highways, city roads, and parking lots.
Stone crushers
A crusher is a machine designed to reduce large rocks into smaller rocks, gravel, sand, or rock dust.
Crushers may be used to reduce the size or change the form of waste materials to be more easily
disposed of or recycled, or to reduce the size of a solid mix of raw materials
