There are six main types of heavy earth moving equipment: 1) Excavators, which have a long bucket arm and cab that pivots, allowing for high visibility over the work area; 2) Backhoe loaders, which have a shovel at the front and bucket at the rear, and are best for smaller jobs in confined spaces; 3) Bulldozers, which are the most heavy-duty and best for moving large amounts of dirt over open spaces; 4) Skid steer loaders, which are very easy to use and can work in difficult conditions due to their treads; 5) Motor graders, which have an adjustable blade for fine grading and smoothing surfaces; and 6) Trenchers, which are

EQUIPMENT There are six main kinds of heavy earth moving equipment on the market and it helps to be clear on the features and purpose of each so you can make the best choice when it comes to using heavy machinery. 1. EXCAVATORS Excavators can be utilised over wheels or treads and are used most often. They are usually obvious on account of their long bucket arm attached to a cab which pivots. Excavators are operated by a worker who, in the cab, has high visibility over the work area. 2. BACKHOE LOADERS Backhoe loaders are mounted on tyres and can be used in suburban areas. They share many similarities with tractors. The main difference is they contain a shovel at the front which can be adjusted and a bucket at the rear which is used to dig. Backhoe loaders are usually the best choice for smaller jobs which need to be completed in a more restrained space. Backhoe loaders shift dirt, shovel trenches and position pipes into place. 3. BULLDOZERS Generally bulldozers are believed to be the most heavy-duty machines on the market. Bulldozers are incredibly strong and the best choice for shifting large amounts of dirt on sites where there are wide open spaces, rough grading, and grinding rock. Bulldozers are easily identified by the huge blade at the front of the equipment that is controlled with the use of hydraulic pistons. 4. SKID STEER LOADERS Skid steer loaders can be used for the widest range of purposes of all heavy earth moving machinery. It's also equipment which is very easy to use and being on wheels, with a tight turning range, is the best choice for smaller sites. Skid steel loaders help lower soil compaction, work well in difficult conditions such as snow/mud, and have a limited impact on finished zones because of their tread system. 5. MOTOR GRADERS Most often employed to fine grade and shift small amounts of dirt and prepare the base before laying asphalt, motor graders are identified by their longer adjustable blade used to make surfaces smoother. They also feature an additional blade so they can be used for decompacting the ground. 6. TRENCHERS Trenchers are mostly used to dig trenches before pipes are laid down. A range of different trencher machines are available including walk-behind modules, smaller-sized trenchers or heavier equipment used to trench firmer ground. Trenchers are highly versatile in that they utilise alternating digging functions according to the needs of the job. They should be dealt with by experienced construction professionals because they can be very dangerous.
