 1) INTRODUCTION
It is a common fact that we fine in a wide variety of construction machine on every
construction site, which make the construction job easy safe and quicker. Good project
management in construction must vigorously pursue the efficient utilization of labor,
material and equipment.
The use of new equipment and innovative methods has made possible holes change
in construction technology in recent decades. the selection of the appropriate types and
size of construction equipment often affects the required amount of time and effort and
those the job site productivity of a project.
This act as a backbone in the case of used construction project. Proper use of the
appropriate equipment contributes to economy, safety, speed, and timely completion of a
project. Equipment are used for highway project, irrigation building, power project etc.
Almost 50 -S0% of total cost has been an accounted towards equipment and machinery.
It is therefore important for site manager and construction planner to be familiar with
the characteristics of the measures types of equipment commonly used in construction.

 2) CLASSIFICATION OF CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

Depending upon application, construction machine is classified into machine

various categories which we are discussing here:
1. Earth- moving equipment
2. Earth compacting equipment
3. Hauling equipment
4. Hoisting equipment
5. Conveying equipment
6. Aggregate production equipment
7. Equipment used in concrete construction
8. Pile-driving equipment
Earth moving equipment’s
• Excavator
• Backhoe
• grader
• Motor scrappers
• Front show well
• Bull dozers
Construction vechicles
• Damp
• Tankers
• Stripper
• Trailers
Material handling equipment
• Cranes
• Conveyor
• Forklifts
• Hoists

 EARTH MOVING EQUIPMENT
SELECTION CRITERIA FOR EARTHWORK EQUIPMENT
The selection of earth moving equipment is mainly depends upon on the
following factors: Quantities of material to be moved.
• The available time to complete the work the job conditions.
• The prevailing soil type, the swells and compaction factors etc.
• The job conditions include factors such as availability of loading and dumping
area, accessibility of site, traffic, flows and weather conditions at site.

In order to plan the number of Earthwork Equipment needed, the planner first
determine the following:

• The suitable class of equipment for earthwork. for example. If the soil to be
excavated is loose and marshy, and bulk excavation involved in the project. One
may opt for a dragline.
• The number of equipment needed for the project to carry out the given quantity.
• The number of associate equipment required to support the main equipment.

2 cranes
A crane is a type of machine generally equipped with the hoist rope, wire ropes
or chains, sheaves, that cane be use both to lift and lowers materials and move them
horizontally. It is mainly used for lifting heavy thinks and transport and them to
other places. Ordinarily over distance of not more than 200ft.(6om) cranes have a
long rich and can lift load to greater height. The device uses one or more simple
machines to create mechanical advantage and thus move loads beyond the normal
capability of a human. Cranes are commonly employed in the transport industry for
the loading and unloading of freight, in the construction industry for the movement
of materials, and in the manufacturing industry for the assembling of heavy
equipment.

Types of crane
I) Block and tackle
2) Capstan
3) Hoist
4) Winch

 3. Dumper
A dumper is vehicle designed for carrying bulk material, often on building
sites. Dumpers are distinguished from dump trucks by configuration a dumper
usually an open 4 wheeled vehicle with the load skip in front of driver while a
dumper truck has its cap in front of load.
Earth-moving machines that are used in construction works and, in a road,
building included tractor, dozers, loaders, bulldozer, hydraulic excavator, dumper,
tractor scrapers, graders, pipe-layers, benchers, landfill compactor and ropes
excavators.

4. Bull Dozers
A bulldozer is a crawled (continuous tracked tractor) equipped with a substantial
metal plate (known as a blade) used to push large quantities of soil, sand, rubble, or
other such material during construction or conversion work and typically equipped at
the rear with a claw-like device (known as a ripper) to loosen
A bulldozer is a plant machine mounted on tracks with a large blade (metal plate)
attached to it, allowing it to push large quantities of matter during construction,
earthworks and quarrying projects. Tracks give them excellent ground holding
capability and mobility on rough terrain and slopes.

Types of Equipment
Auto Loading. Generally speaking, we advise auto loading for larger incineration
operations over and above 200kg/hr. Bin Tippers, Elevators and Container Handling.
Ram Loaders Crushers, Shredders and Conveyors. Liquids and Sludge Feed Systems.

5. Mortar grader
A trader, also commonly referred to as a road grader or a motor grader, is a
construction machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface during the grading
process. Although the earliest models were towed behind horses or other powered
equipment, most modern graders contain an engine so are known, technically
erroneously, as "motor graders”.

Typical models have three axles, with the engine and cab situated above the rear
axles at one end of the vehicle and a third axle at the front end of the vehicle, with the
blade in between. Most motor graders drive the rear axles in tandem, but some also
add iron wheel drive to improve grading capability .

6. ROAD ROLLER

Road roller machine is used soon after asphalt is laid down on road. The equipment
is rolled to compact the asphalt. This equipment is similar to its name and work. Mostly,
three wheels are there in the machines. The two rear one is built in regular tyres while the
front one is built in hard metal. Some road roller machines are built in two wheels only -
both in hard metals. The wheels play a significant role in compacting the asphalt. It needs
water on the wheel when it rolls on the asphalt. The type of roller machines used in road
construction project depends on the specific projects .

7. WHEEL LOADER

The wheel loader is one of the must-have equipment for most the construction sites.
You can find wheel loader (also known as a front loader, skip loader or bucket loader) on
most of the construction sites including road construction. This is much like a tractor and
it can live and move a pile of materials including clay, soil, stones, rocks, etc. from the
ground and load it on to a dump truck. It is popular for removing, lifting and loading
things without spreading it out.
In short, these are some of the most-used construction equipment for most of the
heavy industrial use including road construction project and much more. So, if you have
got such projects on hand, please make sure that you have all these road construction
equipment before you begin.

 8) Asphalt Mixing Plant

Asphalt is a mixture containing aggregates, binder and filler. It is usually used for
building and repairing different types of roads, parking lots, play areas, and sport fields.
Here, aggregates can refer to crushed rock, sand, gravel, or slags.
Asphalt is utilized in building roads, railway beds, airport runways, taxiways,
bicycle paths, playgrounds, running tracks, tennis courts, barn floors, greenhouse floors,
ports, bridges, tunnels, landfill caps, etc.
Our KEW (Stationary) series of asphalt mixing plants offers customers the
industry’s finest & proven technical solution, latest generation process controls and
automation together with total installation and site support, aimed to deliver precisely
mixed quality asphalt – productively and profitably. KAUSHIK design team facilitates
custom built asphalt plants to meet specific site demands and requirements. Available in
capacities ranging from 35 to 150 TPH output in different models.

Asphalt Mixing Plant is another important road construction equipment. If the

project is a large one, then the asphalt mixing plant is set on the road construction site. In this
process, the concrete asphalt including other materials including macadam and coated road
stone are mixed together in correct proportion. Once the product is ready, it is used for
building the road.
