HAULING

AND
CONVEYING
1. Tractors

Though most commonly used for pulling and pushing

other equipment in construction, the great
advantage of tractors is the available parts that can
be used to accomplish different jobs. Available
components include the quick hitches, backhoes,
buckets, and blades. Similar to bulldozers and
loaders, tractors can be track-based or wheel-based.
Like other track-based equipment, these tractors are
able to work through muddy terrains. However, they
operate at much slower speeds.

RENTAL COST- 2500 – 5000rs / DAY

2. Bulldozers
Though commonly used to refer to the entire
vehicle, the term bulldozer actually refers to the
front-mounted dozer plate, which is attached to a
separate tractor. The bulldozer is used to loosen
hard soils and shift dirt, and can work on tough
terrain. It is also great for creating pilot roads, as it
can clear land from trees and stumps. Bulldozers can
be wheel-based or track-based. For muddy or sandy
terrains, track-type bulldozers are best, as the tracks
distribute the bulldozer’s weight over a larger area,
reducing the risk of sinking.

Bulldozer Loaders

3. Loaders
These vehicles are used to load loose materials,
such as sand, dirt, or gravel, and take them to
another machine, such as a dump truck or
conveyor belt. Oftentimes, these destination
machines are at a higher elevation than the
location of the materials. Loaders can also be
used to transport other machinery. Similar to
bulldozers, loaders can be track-based or wheel-
based, and the selection depends on the terrain
to be worked on.

Hauling trucks – Used to transport a fleet of

equipment (for general, military, or service
construction) from one location to another.

Types of dump tucks

Standard dump truck

standard dump truck is a truck
chassis with a dump body
mounted to the frame. The bed
is raised by a vertical hydraulic
ram mounted under the front
of the body, or a horizontal
hydraulic ram and lever
arrangement between the
frame rails, and the back of the
bed is hinged at the back of the
truck.

DUMP
6×4 semi-tractor with two-axle trailer

A semi end dump is a tractor-trailer

combination wherein the trailer BED
itself contains the hydraulic hoist. CAB
HOIST
The key advantage of a semi end
dump is a large payload. A key
disadvantage is that they are very
unstable when raised in the
dumping position limiting their use
in many applications where the
dumping location is uneven or off FRONT AXLE
