Different Types of Heavy Machinery used in Construction Site
Introduction The construction process is rarely simple. Workers need to move heavy materials and scale very tall structures. Due to these reasons, heavy equipment is a necessity on almost every job site. Heavy Machinery have evolved over the years for the purpose of construction. Construction equipment can be found in a wide variety. Every type of heavy equipment has its specific use and configuration. Using the right equipment, a construction company can ensure the process is efficient and safe. Let us know about the different types of heavy equipment used in construction site.
Excavators Heavy construction equipment such as excavators is widely used. This type of machine is used primarily for digging and moving dirt. Other uses include moving materials, demolishing structures, and cutting trees. Excavators comes in different sizes as per their operating weight like Mini excavator that can easily work at tight and compact space.
Tower Cranes Construction of tall structures requires the use of tower cranes for lifting materials up. The tower is supported by a mast, which is a vertical tower that protrudes above it. Construction companies often use tower cranes whenever they need to move heavy materials up an incline that isn't easy to move by other means.
Road Pavers The Road paver machines are used to lay asphalt on roads, bridges, parking lots, and other surfaces. Pavers transfer asphalt from a dump truck to the road, spreading it across the area to be paved. It's common for these road pavers to be accompanied by a compactor to flatten the asphalt.
Forklifts A lift truck also known as forklift is used to lift and transfer materials. It comes in different variations and load capacities. On construction sites, bricks and wood as well as tile and other interior construction materials are often delivered through this machines.
Conclusion You might see many other heavy machinery on a construction site, but these machineries are most commonly used. Almost every construction site would require a mix of machines from this list to be cost-effective and efficient.
