Heavy equipment used in construction for various purposes, such as excavating land, moving materials, demolishing buildings, and other earthworks. The excavator is equipped with a long arm, bucket and cab that can rotate 360 degrees, making it easier for operators to work at various angles and directions

Used for a plethora of jobs, a skid steer loader is a small engine-powered machine. In front of the operating cabin, there’s a mechanism that allows for the attachment of different types of tools.
From buckets to loaders, a skid loader can host different equipment and is also small enough to maneuver into tight areas of a site. The frame is rigid, meaning turning is done through differential steering
Bulldozers are pieces of crawler equipment and have many different uses. Equipped with a metal bucket plate, this piece of heavy machinery is used to push, carry and condense any sort of loose material on site. The metal plate can also be used to loosen compacted materials and break apart walls or other stable structures.
Machines used to lay asphalt are called asphalt pavers. Asphalt is loaded into the paver by a dump truck, and then distributed onto the desired area before being semi-packed down — then they are completely flattened by a roller. The paver is typically towed by a dump truck holding asphalt.
Crane combine the mobility of a truck with a crane’s lifting capabilities. A heavy-duty crane can assist construction sites with moving heavy loads like steel beams, shipping containers, trees or logs. Because the crane connects to a truck chassis, it is easy to relocate. Additionally, truck-mounted cranes are very quick to set up compared to standard, fixed cranes, making them an even more flexible option.
The off-highway truck is specifically made for rugged environments. This heavy-duty dump-truck has massive wheels with deep treads, allowing it to venture off-road and support construction and mining sites. It’s primarily used to transport materials like rocks or dirt from one site to another. Some models use multi-axle dump buckets to support even heavier loads.
A motor grader is essential to the process of building a road. This heavy machinery is one of the components that flattens an area of dirt in order to build a road. A grader ensures an even grade thanks to a metal plate that flattens the areas it passes over. It’s typically six-wheeled and has an elongated nose where the flattening metal plates sit.
Agricultural tractors are vehicles specially built to provide high torque at lower speeds. It is used for agricultural production. A tractor is a combination of two words, “traction and motor”. Tractors are used to pull heavy loads for different agricultural tasks. Farmers perform many agricultural operations and develop the necessary agricultural machinery and implements for each task. Likewise, there are many types of agricultural tractors according to the needs and wants of farmers.
The harvester, or combine, is used to gather grain and other similar crops. This machine combines reaping, threshing and winnowing into one process, making it efficient for agriculture projects. It helps separate straw from the crop itself, minimizing manual work for a farmer. A massive vortex roller sucks in the crop, and discards stems through a chute.
Feller bunchers are a type of harvester that are required for logging. They consist of a standard four-wheel base, giving them easy access to off-road sites. A feller buncher gathers trees by wrapping multiple metal arms around a tree’s trunk and then snipping its base with a chainsaw. This type of harvester then carries the entire tree to a collection area where the greenery will be broken down by other machines.
