The document discusses various types of construction equipment used in building projects. It describes earthmoving equipment like excavators, loaders, graders, backhoes, trenchers, and bulldozers which are used to dig foundations, shift earth and create flat surfaces. It also mentions construction vehicles like trailers, dumpers, and tippers which transport goods and materials. Additionally, it outlines material handling equipment such as cranes, forklifts, conveyors, hoists and gantry cranes used to lift and move heavy objects. Finally, it briefly describes other equipment like jaw crushers, spraying machines, pumps and pile driving tools used in specific construction tasks.

3. 1. Earthmoving Equipments
Earthmoving equipment is used in the construction industry to :
 shift large amounts of earth
 dig foundations and landscape areas

5. EXCAVATORS
Excavators are used in many ways:
 Digging of trenches, holes, foundations
 Material handling
 Demolition
 landscaping
 Heavy lift, e.g. lifting and placing of pipes
 Mining, especially, but not only open-pit mining

6. LOADERS
Primarily used to load material (such as asphalt,
demolition debris, dirt, snow, feed, gravel, logs,
raw minerals, recycled material, rock, sand, and
woodchips)
GRADERS
 Used to create a flat surface.
 Graders are commonly used in the
construction and maintenance of dirt
roads and gravel roads.

7. BACKHOE
 a piece of excavating equipment or digger
consisting of a digging bucket on the end of
a twopart articulated arm.
 It is used to excavate below the natural
surface on which it rests.
they penetrate the earth,
breaking soil and rock, and
remove it from the
ground. They differ from
excavators in that the soil is
removed in one continuous
movement.
TRENCHERS

8. BULLDOZERS
Used to
push large quantities of soil, sand,
rubble, or other such material
during construction or conversion work
Bull dozers are mainly used for the following
operations
1. For spreading the earth fill
2. For opening up pilot roads through
mountainous and
rocky terrains.
3. Clearing construction sites.
4. Maintaining haul roads
5. Clearing land from the trees and stumps
6. back-filling trenches at construction sites
by dragging the
earth from one place to another

9. 2. CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES
TRAILERS
Commonly, the term trailer
refers to such vehicles used
for transport of goods and
materials.

10. DUMPERS
A dumper is a vehicle designed
for carrying bulk material,
often on building sites.
TIPPERS
A truck or lorry the rear
platform of
which can be raised at
the front end
to enable the load to be
discharged
by gravity also called tip
truck.

11. 2. Material Handling Equipments

A crane is a type of machine, generally
equipped with a hoist, wire ropes or
chains, and sheaves, that can be used
both to lift and lower materials and to
move them horizontally.
CRANES
MOBILE CRANE

12. CONVEYORS
A conveyor system is a common piece
of
mechanical handling equipment that
moves
materials from one location to another
FORKLIFTS
A forklift truck (also called a lift truck,
a
fork truck, a forklift, or a tow-motor) is
a powered industrial truck used to lift
and transport materials.

13. Gantry cranes
Widely used in erection, foundry, steel
plants, storage yards and
different types of industrial works.

14. HOISTS
A hoist is a device used for
lifting or lowering a load by
means of a drum or lift-wheel
around which rope or chain
wraps.

15. 4. CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

17. /Jaw crushers

18. SPRAYING AND PLASTERING MACHINES
Plaster spraying allows a plasterer to
skim a drywall more than five times
faster than using a hand float to apply it.
SLURRY & HEAVY DUTY PUMPS
A pump is a device used to
move fluids,
such as liquids, gases or slurries.

19. Pile driving equipment
Plaster spraying allows a plasterer to
skim a drywall more than five times
faster than using a hand float to apply it.
