BACKHOE-a backhoe is used to dig a trench,

uproot a tree, grade a road, push dirt and plow snow


on some countries.

ROAD GRADER- a road grader is used to create a flat,


level surface for the construction of new roads and leveling
uneven grounds. It is also used as a means of finishing the
grade started by other construction equipment like
bulldozers.

ROAD ROLLER
Types of Road Rollers:

Sheepsfoot Roller- this type consists of a drum having


many round or rectangular
shaped protrusions or feet on it. These rollers are
also called tamping rollers

Pneumatic Tyred Rollers- These rollers are used for


compaction of coarse grained soils with some fines.
These rollers are least suitable for uniform coarse soils
and rocks. Generally pneumatic tyred rollers are used in
pavement subgrade works both earthwork and
bituminous works.
Grid Roller- Grid rollers are used for compaction of
weathered rocks, well graded coarse soils. These rollers
are not suitable for clayey soils, silty clays and uniform
soils. The main use of this rollers are in subgrade and sub-
base in road constructions. `

Pad Foot / Tamping Rollers- These rollers are


similar to sheepsfoot rollers with lugs of larger
area than sheepsfoot rollers.

Smooth Wheeled Roller- Smooth wheel rollers


are most suitable for consolidating stone soling,
gravel, sand, hard core, ballast and surface
dressings. Not suitable for consolidating
embankments and soft sub-grades, but are better
suited than any other plant for compacting silty and
sandy soils and with fewer passes. When the
moisture content is a little more than optimum it
will compact more easily.

Tandem Roller- having one wheel at rear and one Vibratory Roller - A vibratory roller is used for
wheel in front. Tandem Roller

Three-Wheeled Roller- havingtwowheelsat

compacting granular base courses. It is sometimes


used for asphaltic concrete work.
TRANSIT
MIXER
(WITH

PAYLOADER- is a heavy equipment


machine used in construction to move aside or load
materials such as asphalt, demolition debris, dirt,
snow, feed, gravel, logs, raw minerals, recycled
material, rock, sand, woodchips, etc. into or onto
another type of machinery (such as a dump truck,
conveyor belt

BULLDOZER- Bulldozers are heavy equipment


capable of moving heavy loads, clearing rubble, and
are very helpful in civil engineering works. A
bulldozer is a tracked tractor that has an integral
metal blade used to drive a significant magnitude of
soil, sand, debris, etc., generated during
construction.

PUMPING EQUIPMENT)- A concrete

DUMP TRUCK- A dump


truck (dumper/tipper truck) is a truck used for
transporting loose material (such as sand, gravel, or
demolition waste) for construction.

mixer (often mistakenly called a cement mixer) is a


device that homogeneously
combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel,
and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer
uses a revolving drum to mix the components. It is a
machine used for transferring
liquid concrete by pumping.
CRANE- A crane is a type of machine, generally
equipped with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains,
and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower
materials and to move them horizontally. It is
mainly used for lifting heavy things and transporting
them to other places.

TOWER CRANE- Tower cranes are a common


fixture at any major construction site. The
construction crew uses the tower crane to lift steel,
concrete, large tools like acetylene torches and
generators, and a wide variety of other building
materials.

MOBILE CRANE- designed to easily transport


to a site and use with different types of load and
cargo with little or no setup or assembly. A mobile
crane can be a very simple machine with just a
telescopic boom on its platform, or a full sized crane
equipped with various attachments. The standard
cranes are machines used for lifting big and heavy
sized objects. They are equipped with chains, wire
ropes, drums and control panels.

PLATE COMPACTOR- A plate compactor is an


indispensable piece of construction equipment that
is used to compress different types of soil and
gravel, the core is a flat and heavy plate which is
driven or vibrated up and down with either gasoline
or diesel powered engine.
TAMPING RAMMER- A rammer is a machine
that compact the ground. How it does this is
different from a plate compactor. Instead of using
vibrations to settle the dirt below like a compactor, a
rammer uses impact force to compress the ground.

CONCRETE VIBRATOR- A concrete


vibrator is a construction tool typically used on
concrete pouring sites. These machines and an
assortment of attachments are designed for multiple
applications built by a variety of manufacturers. The
vibrators are used to ensure that the pour is free of
air bubbles and are even. This is so that the concrete
remains strong and has a smooth finish even after
removal of the form work.

SCREEDER- A screeder is a precision


designed device that ensures easy and fine finishing
and leveling of concrete & plaster. Concrete
Screeder is designed for effective finishing in less
time.

CONCRETE PAVEMENT CUTTER (FOR


JOINTS)- is a power tool used for
cutting concrete, masonry, brick, asphalt, tile, and
other solid materials. It can be a small hand-held
cut-off saw, a big walk-behind saw or other styles,
and it may be powered by gasoline, hydraulic or
pneumatic pressure, or electric motors. The saw
blades used on concrete saws are often diamond saw
blades to cut concrete, asphalt, stone, etc.
CONCRETE PAVEMENT FORMS- for
efficient concrete placement of highway, street,
airport runway, taxiway, and apron work.

1-BAGGER CONCRETE MIXER- This


concrete mixer is popularly known as one bag mixer
because it consumes one bag of cement of 50 kg.
per batch to make the concrete mix of 7 cu.ft.. MANUAL BAR CUTTER- A bar cutter is
used to cut bars on the construction sites
