Construction Vehicles

Construction Vehicles are heavy-duty vehicles，specially designed for executing construction tasks, most frequently, and ones involving earth moving.

Dumper

A dumper is a vehicle designed for carrying bulk material, often on building sites.

Dumpers are distinguished from dump trucks by configuration: a dumper is usually an open wheeled vehicle with the load skip in front of the driver, while a dump truck has its cab in front of the load.

The skip can tip to dump the load; this is where the name "dumper" comes from.

Dumpers are normally diesel powered. A towing eye is fitted for secondary use as a site tractor. Dumpers with rubber tracks are used in special circumstances and are popular in some countries.

Tippers

A truck or lorry the rear platform of which can be raised atthe front end to allow the load to be discharged by gravity also called tiptruck.

Tippers are suited for the rough and tumble of mining &quarrying operations, as well as for carrying bulk loads in construction andinfrastructure industries. Complete maneuverability, high performance andlong-term endurance are common to all trucks, resulting in lower operationalcosts.

Trailers

Construction trailers are mobile structures (trailers) used to accommodate temporary offices, dining facilities and storage of building materials during construction projects.

Typically, trailers need to be equipped with telephone lines and electrical power. Lavatories are usually provided for separately. They are often skid-mounted, on trailers, or put on piles. Construction trailers are often manufactured using traditional stick-frame construction. Intermodal containers  are also being converted into construction trailers.

Material Handling Equipment’s

Cranes

Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_(machine)

A crane is a type of machine, generally equipped with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It is mainly used for lifting heavy things and transporting them to other places. It 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.

Cranes exist in an enormous variety of forms – each tailored to a specific use. Sizes range from the smallest jib cranes, used inside workshops, to the tallest tower cranes, used for constructing high buildings. Mini-cranes are also used for constructing high buildings, in order to facilitate

constructions by reaching tight spaces. Finally, we can find larger floating cranes, generally used to build oil rigs and salvage sunken ships。Some lifting machines do not strictly fit the above definition of a crane, but are generally known as cranes, such as stacker cranes and loader cranes.

Conveyors

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 transportation of heavy or bulky materials. Conveyor systems allow quick and efficient transportation for a wide variety of materials, which make them very popular in the material handling and packaging industries

Those in general material handling such as those moving boxes along inside a factory and bulk material handling such as those used to transport large volumes of resources and agricultural materials, such as grain, salt, coal, ore, sand, overburden and more.

Construction Equipment’s

Concrete Mixer

Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_mixer

A concrete mixer is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete.

A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components.

For smaller volume works portable concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be made at the construction site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete before it hardens.

An alternative to a machine is mixing concrete by hand. This is usually done in a wheelbarrow

Compactors:

A compactor is a machine or mechanism used to reduce the size of material such as waste material or bio mass through compaction.

A trash compactor is often used by a home or business to reduce the volume of trash. A baler-wrapper compactor is often used for making compact and wrapped bales in order to improve logistics.

Different compactors are used in scrap metal processing, the most familiar being the car crusher.

Such devices can be of either the "pancake" type, where a scrap automobile is flattened by a huge descending hydraulically powered plate, or the baling press, where the automobile is compressed from several directions until it resembles a large cube.

Pavers

Concrete pavers typically use a "slip form" process to pave roadways, first spreading fluid concrete placed on the grade with an auger, then removing excess material with a strike-off plate.

Hydraulic vibrators consolidate the concrete, and tamper bars push the large aggregate below the surface.

The paver's profiling plans then set the finished elevation and provide an initial finishing of the slab.

Loader

A loader(Figure) is a heavy equipment machine used in construction to move aside or load materials such as asphalt, demolition debris, dirt, snow, feed, gravel, logs, raw minerals, recycled material, rock, sand, woodchips, etc. into or onto another type of machinery

Crawler Loader

The loader comes with either V-lever or joystick steering. Selectable electrohydraulic mapping allows the setting of implement response to fine, normal or coarse.

Grader

Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grader

A grader, also commonly referred to as a road grader, a blade, a maintainer, or a motor grader, is a construction machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface during the grading process.

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.

Graders are commonly used in the construction and maintenance of dirt roads and gravel roads.

In the construction of paved roads they are used to prepare the base course to create a wide flat surface upon which to place the asphalt.

Graders are also used to set native soil foundation pads to finish grade prior to the construction of large buildings.

Graders can produce inclined surfaces, to give cant (camber) to roads. In some countries they are used to produce drainage ditches with shallow V-shaped cross-sections on either side of highways.

 Backhoe

Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backhoe_loader#Use

A backhoe loader, also called a loader backhoe, digger in layman's terms, or colloquially shortened to backhoe within the industry, is a heavy equipment vehicle that consists of a tractor like unit fitted with a shovel/bucket on the front and a small backhoe on the back. Due to its (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very common inurbane engineering and small construction projects (such as building a small house, fixing urban roads, etc.) as well as developing countries. This type of machine is similar to and derived from what is

now known as a TLB (Tractor-Loader-Backhoe), which is to say, an agricultural tractor fitted with a front loader and rear backhoe attachment.

Backhoe loaders are very common and can be used for a wide variety of tasks: construction, small demolitions, light transportation of building materials, powering building equipment, digging holes/excavation, landscaping, breaking asphalt, and paving roads. Often, the backhoe bucket can also be replaced with powered attachments such as a breaker, grapple, auger, or a stump grinder. Enhanced articulation of attachments can be achieved with intermediate attachments such as the tiltrotator. Many backhoes feature quick coupler (quick-attach) mounting systems and auxiliary hydraulic circuits for simplified attachment mounting, increasing the machine’s utilization on the job site. Some loader buckets have a retractable bottom or "clamshell", enabling it to empty its load more quickly and efficiently. Retractable-bottom loader buckets are also often used for grading and scraping. The front assembly may be a removable attachment or permanently mounted.

Excavators

Excavators (Figure) are used for digging trenches, holes and foundations.

Excavators are also used in forestry, dredging rivers, heavy lifting, mining, material handling, driving piles and demolition.

There are various kinds of excavators. The main types include drag line, compact long reach, suction excavators and power shovels.
