    Selection of Equipment

    Particulars of Equipment
    Whether the equipment is to be
    purchased or rented
    Availability and Utility of equipment
    Production cost of equipment
    Availability of skilled labour and Spare
    parts
    Useful life of equipment
    Duration of project
    Tractors

    A Tractor is a vehicle specifically


    designed to deliver a high
    tractive effort at slow speeds, for the
    purposes of hauling a trailer or
    machinery used in agriculture or
    construction.

    Tractors are used to pull or push


    loads
    Types of Tractors
    1. Crawler type

    2. Wheel type
    a. Four Wheel
    b. Two Wheel
    Factors considered while
    selecting a Tractor
    1. Size of Tractor required for
    particular construction work
    2. Nature of work for which it is used
    E.g. Bulldozing, pulling a Wagon,
    pulling a Scrapper,etc.
    3. Smoothness, Firmness, slope,
    length of the pulling road
    Crawler Tractor
    Crawler Tractor
    It is most basic and versatile machine
    It is a prime mover for pulling and
    pushing loads.
    This type of tractor is more suitable
    where good traction and high drawbar
    pull are desirable.
    Drawbar pull is the actual pulling
    ability of the vehicle
    The specifications of crawler tractors
    may vary from make to make.
    Its optimum speed may exceed 12
    Wheel Tractors
    Wheel Tractors
    It is equipped with pneumatic tyres
    Have faster speed than crawler
    tractors.
    Some of these have max. speed
    more than 50 Kmph.
    They have high travel speed
    They can sink great depth in soft
    soils
    They are rated by size and power
    Four Wheel type
    Can operate as an independent unit
    Got better steering capacities and
    the driver feels confident while
    operating.
    Driving is smooth
    Can be driven at higher speeds
    TwoWheel Type
    Higher tractive force available for
    driving axle
    Increased mobility
    Due to elimination of one axle the
    rolling resistance is less
    The no. of tyres to provide and
    maintain is only half that of four wheel
    type.
    Gradability

    The maximum slope that a crawler


    or wheel type prime mover can move
    up at a maximum speed
    Bull Dozers
    Bull Dozer
    They are versatile machines for construction
    projects. They are used from start to completion of
    the projects for various operations such as:
     To clear site
     Opening up temporary roads through difficult
    areas.
     Moving earth for haul distance up to 100 m
     Levelling earth fills
     Backfilling trenches
     Clearing the construction sites of debris
    Classification of Bull dozers
    According to direction of blades
    a. Bulldozer-Machines mounted with
    blades perpendicular to the direction
    of travel. Movers earth forward
    b.Angledozer-Machines mounted with
    blades set at an angle with the
    direction of travel. Movers earth
    forward and to one side
    Based on mountings
     Crawler tractor mounted bulldozer
     Wheel tractor mounted bulldozer
    Method of control for raising
    and lowering the blades
    • Cable controlled
    • Hydraulic controlled
    Cable controlled
    Hydraulic controlled
    Ripper
    • Rippers are used for rocks ripping
    • It is an equipment used to cut or tear
    a rock and to take it out
    • A cutting edge is attached to tractor
    which is quite strong to rip rock or
    hard soil when pushed with it.
    Ripper
    Scraper
    • They are used to scrap the surfaces
    • They are mainly used for earthwork
    operations of roads.
    • It consists of a scrap with a cutting
    edge.
    • The excavated material is collected in
    the body of a scrapper or bucket and
    then removed to the place of dumping.
