BACKHOE LOADER

The backhoe loader is an engineering and excavation vehicle that

consists of a tractor, front shovel and bucket and a small backhoe in
the rear end.
 Due to the small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are common
with small construction projects and excavation type work.

Functions/Uses:
Light transportation of materials
Construction
Digging holes and excavating
Even paving roads
Breaking asphalt

surface.
Its application includes
operation on roads,
embankment, or reservoir as
well as backfilling.

FRONT LOADER
 It is also known as front end loader, bucket loader, scoop loader, or
shovel,

It is a heavy machinery, usually wheeled, sometimes on tracks,

primarily used to lift materials (such as asphalt, demolition debris,
snow, logs, etc.) onto another type of machinery.

It has a front-mounted bucket connected to the end of two booms to

scoop up loose material from the ground, such as dirt, sand or
gravel, and move it from one place to another without pushing the
material across the ground.
Functions

The following are some of the functions of a Front loader:

-Clear rubbles at construction sites

-Loading materials into trucks

-Transport building materials such as pipe, bricks, metal bars, and

digging tools

-Snow removal (only in other countries)

 CONCRETE PUMP

A concrete pump is a machine used for transferring liquid concrete by pumping.

Pumping is a very efficient and reliable means of placing concrete, which makes
it a very economical method as well.
Sometimes, a pump is the only way of placing concrete in a certain location
such as a high rise building, or large slabs where the chutes of the concrete
truck cant reach where the concrete is needed.

WHEEL TRACTOR - SCRAPER
 WHAT IS SCRAPER?

In civil engineering, it is a piece of heavy equipment

used in earthmoving. The rear part of the scraper has a
vertically movable hopper with sharp horizontal front edge
which can be raised or lowered. The front edge cuts soil and
fills the hopper. When the hopper is full, it is raised, closed, and
the scraper can transport its load to the fill where it is dumped.
 PURPOSE OF SCRAPER

A scraper is a machine used for moving or removing dirt,

gravel, and any other unnecessary material from the surface.
One advantage of scraper over other earth-moving machines is
the capability to remove wet soil from the surface. Other
machines will need to wait for the wet soil to dry. Also, the
scraper performs efficiently on heavier soils and other tough
soil conditions.
