bulldozer
A bulldozer is a crawler (continuous
tracked tractor) equipped with a
substantial metal plate (known
as a blade). It is typically equipped at
the rear with a claw-like device
(known as a ripper) to loosen
densely compacted materials.

Motor grader
Graders are used for scarifying the uneven and
inefficient surfaces of the roads, lawns, landscapes,
etc. They are used for the leveling of soil or land so
that the new or next layers of soil, gravel aggregates, and
asphalt or bitumen can be spread uniformly
throughout.

trencher
It is also called Ditcher, or Digging Wheel, excavation
machine employing a wheel fitted with rim buckets,
or with a boom or ladder on which an endless chain
of buckets or scrapers revolves. The machine is
self-propelled on rubber tires or crawlers
(continuous metal treads driven by wheels).

Wheel trencher
It is composed of a toothed
metal wheel. It is cheaper
to operate and maintain than
chain-type trenchers.
27
chain trencher
A chain trencher cuts with a digging
chain or belt that is driven around a
rounded metal frame, or boom.
It resembles a giant chainsaw. This
type of trencher can cut ground that
is too hard to cut with a bucket-
type excavator, and can also cut
narrow and deep trenches.
28
micro trencher
It is a "small rockwheel" specially
designed for work in urban area. It is
fitted with a cutting wheel that
cuts a micro trench with smaller
dimensions than can be achieved
with conventional trench digging
equipment.

DRY MIX
CONCRETE
PLANT
Weighs sand, gravel and cement in weigh batchers via digital

chute which discharges into a truck. Meanwhile, water is either
being weighed or volumetrically metered and discharged
through the same charging chute into the mixer truck. These
ingredients are then mixed for a minimum of 70 to 100
revolutions during transportation to the jobsite.
188
WET MIX
CONCRETE
PLANT
Combines some or all of the above ingredients (including water)
at a central location into a Concrete Mixer - that is, the concrete
is mixed at a single point, and then simply agitated on the way to
the jobsite to prevent setting (using agitors or ready mix trucks)

Drop hammer
It consists of a heavy ram in
between the leads. The ram is
lifted up to a certain
height and released to
drop on the pile. It is used in
the cases where only a small
number of piles are driven.
196
Single acting
hammer
In a single acting hammer a heavy
ram is lifted up by steam or
compressed air but dropped
by its own weight. The energy
of a single acting hammer is equal
to the weight of the ram
times the height of fall.
197
double acting
hammer
The double-acting hammer employs
steam or air for lifting the
ram and for accelerating
the downward stroke. The
energy of a double-acting hammer is
equal to the weight of the ram
times the height of fall.
198
Diesel hammer
They use gasoline for fuel. To start
the operation, the ram is raised,
and the fuel is injected. As the
ram is released, the ram falls
and compresses air and
fuel.

The principle of the vibratory driver
is two counter-rotating

SAFETY
MEASURES
1. Make certain you’ve been suitably and adequately
trained on the equipment you’re using by qualified,
skilled people.
2. Be conscious, stay alert and know your equipment’s
blind spots – whether you’re the operator or just
working around it.
209
SAFETY
MEASURES
3. Correspond with people working near you – either via
two-way radios or a spotter who’s been trained on
standard hand signals. Never presume people know
what you’re going to be doing. If ignored this can
endanger the safety of everyone
210
SAFETY
MEASURES
4. At all times wear high-visibility clothing and steel-toed
boots.
5. At all times wear your seat belt. It seems apparent, but
it’s easily forgotten. In case of a rollover this can be a
life saver.
211
SAFETY
MEASURES
6. Don’t mount or alight the equipment while it’s moving.
7. Never surpass the load that a machine is rated to
carry.
8. Always load and unload equipment on level ground to
reduce the risk of rollovers, and keep the area clear.
212
SAFETY
MEASURES
9. Climb on and off equipment properly. Falls are
still the number one cause of injury, so never
jump off equipment and always use three-
point contact (both feet and one hand or one
foot and both hands on the holds at all times)
when climbing on or off equipment.
213
SAFETY
MEASURES
10. Always do a walk around and inspect the
equipment before you start using it. Inspect
tires, tracks, components and other apparatus
for fractures, damage or something caught in
them.
214
