The Most Commonly Used Heavy Construction Machinery

The construction process requires a huge variety of heavy construction equipment which is used for different purposes, a few of these machines are very common and every person who is in the field of construction is aware of it, like the crane, excavator, vibratory roller, forklift and backhoe loader.

Several of these machines serve the purpose of moving the material from one place to another which helps the workers saves time and effort. For instance the purpose of a crane is to move items to tall locations like a building which has more than 3-4 stories. It is also used during the construction process of a building.

Below we have assembled few of these commonly used heavy construction equipment, to provide you with brief knowledge about them:

Road Roller

This machines prime purpose is to compress the surface and rolled by using the weight of the machine. The tires of a road roller are very flexible and can even function properly over uneven ground. The aim of the metal drum is to ensure the smoothers and evenness of a surface. A road roller or a vibratory roller is used to compact the soil. The road roller has sprag wheels which don’t provide smoothness to the surface. It is also known as roller-compactor or rollers which is used for compacting dirt, concrete, gravel and asphalt that is being laid on road.

Bull Dozer

The bull dozer s mainly used for moving the soil for making space or to break huge stones or to pull down the trees. This machine is also used for other construction processes like moving or loosening other hard substances or dirt.

Excavator

An excavator is primarily used for lifting materials and transporting it into trucks. It has long arms and a hook which is used for transporting heavy materials throughout the construction process.

The compact excavators are wheeled or tracked with a backfill blade and swing booms. Excavators are also known as a mini-excavator and it carries out functions like transferring hydraulic fluid.

Backhoe

The backhoe loader is use for lifting and digging materials at the construction area, its mainly attached on a front loader or tractor to be used for digging trenches and ditches.

Concrete Mixer

The concrete mixer is found at every construction sit and it main objective is to mix water, cement and sand to produce concrete.

Cultivator

The cultivator is basically an attachment; it has a rotating blade which functions in the sol it can be attached behind a tractor or can self-propelled.

Crane

The crane is also one of the most common construction site equipment it’s like a tower and has pulleys and cables thorough which it lifts materials.

Meta Description

These are the most common heavy construction equipment found on the construction sites, with these machines the work becomes more productive and is completed quickly.
