Excavator: Engineering Machines

This document describes various types of machinery commonly used in construction. It lists excavators, graders, road rollers, concrete mixers, pavers, dump trucks, loading shovels, tippers, cranes, and hoists. Excavators are the most commonly used machine and are used for digging, demolition, material handling, grading, and more. Graders are used to create flat surfaces. Road rollers compact soil, gravel, concrete or asphalt. Concrete mixers combine cement, aggregates and water to form concrete. Pavers lay asphalt and rollers press it. Dump trucks transport bulk materials. Loading shovels load materials efficiently. Tippers discharge loads by raising their front end. C

ENGINEERING MACHINES

1. Excavator
Usage of Excavator in ConstructionThe excavator probably is the most
commonly used machine in the Construction Industry.There are many
uses of an Excavator.
● Digging of trenches, holes, foundations
● Demolition
● Material handling
● General grading/landscaping
● Brush cutting with hydraulic attachments
● Forestry work
● Lifting and placing of pipes
● Mining, especially, but not only open-pit mining
● River dredging

2. Graders
A grader is a construction machine with a long blade used to create a flat
surface. It is commonly called in names such as road grader, a blade, a
maintainer and motor grader.

3. Road roller
is a compactor type engineering vehicle used to compact soil, gravel, concrete,
or asphalt in the construction of roads and foundations, similar rollers are
used also at landfills or in agriculture.
4. Concrete mixture
is a machine that combines cement evenly to form aggregates such as sand or
gravel and water to concrete. A typical concrete mixer using a rotating
drum for mixing the components. For smaller volume works portable
concrete mixers are regularly used for concrete, can be produced at the
site, so that workers have enough time to use the concrete before it
hardens time.

5. Paver
A paver (paver finisher, asphalt finisher, paving machine) is an engineering
vehicle used to lay asphalt on roadways. It is normally fed by a dump
truck. A separate machine, a roller, is then used to press the hot asphalt
mix, resulting a smooth, even surface. The sub-base being prepared by
use of a grader to trim crushed stone to profile after Rolling
6. Dumpers
A dump truck is a vehicle designed to transport bulk material, often in
construction. It has a open jump ahead with the driver seat , and consist
of a large boxlike body to contain materials. A dumper usually has 4
Wheels, where the entire load and the movement depends on.

7. wheeled loading shovels


loading shovels are loaded where it counts, pushing the front end bucket loader
efficiency higher. From mini loaders to large production machines, find
the right fit for the work in load and carry operations, civil & building
construction, earth moving, waste handling, recycling, landscaping,
quarrying, aggregates, block handling, lumber yards, agriculture and
more
8. tippers
A truck or lorry the rear platform of which can be raised at the front end to allow
the load to be discharged by gravity also called tip truck

9. Crane
A crane is a type of machine commonly used in construction, generally
equipped with an elevator, ropes or chains and sheaves that can be used
both to move and to lift and lower materials horizontally. It is mainly used
for heavy lifting and transport to other locations

10. Hoist
Hoist is a device for raising or lowering a load by means of a drum or wheel lift
to which wraps the rope or chain. It can be operated by hand, is driven
electrically or pneumatically, and the chain or wire rope fibers are used
as lifting device. The load connected to the lifting means of a lifting hook
