Difference between contemporary and modern?
Modern design refers to an era that has passed,
while contemporary design is all about the now and
the future.
INTRODUCTION
Construction equipment have evolved as per changing
requirements in the industry.
Earlier for one job many equipment were required but
now one equipment can do multiple jobs.
 Appropriate use of equipment contributes to
completion of project on time, work speed, quality, and
most importantly economy
Various equipment involved in construction
works are
 Excavating Equipment
i) Power Shovel
ii) Hoe
iii) Dragline
 Earth-moving Equipment
 Hoisting Equipment
a) Mobile Cranes
b) Tower Cranes
c) Crawler Mounted Cranes
d) Passenger Hoist
e) Builders Hoist
 Dredging Equipment
Conveying Equipment
Pumping Equipment Pile Driving Equipment
Material Testing Equipment
 Drilling EquipmentAggregate, concrete and HMA
(Hot Mix Asphalt) production Equipment.
Excavating Equipment
These equipment are commonly used for digging,
excavating and placing earth materials to a distant
place, to remove snow, lifting pipes, grading the
ground, etc.
 Excavating Equipment:-
 Power Shovel
 Hoe
 Dragline
Power Shovel
 It is a bucket-equipped
machine, usually
electrically powered, used
for digging, loading
fragmented rock or earth
and for extract ion of
minerals. Main parts
includes the track system,
cables, rack, stick, boom
foot-pin, saddle block,
boom, boom point
sheaves, bucket and cabin.
Dragline
They are useful for digging
below its track level and
effective while handling
softer materials. Here the
basic parts include boom,
hoist cable, drag cable,
hoist chain, bucket and drag
chain. It has long reaches
and also used for
excavating canals and then
depositing on embankments
without use of hauling units
Earth Moving Equipment
These equipment include excavators, loaders, motor graders,
trenchers, backhoes and bulldozers. They are used to shift
large amounts of dig foundations,landscape areas and dirt.
Tower Cranes
These cranes are derrick
crane mounted on a steel
tower. They are used for
industrial and high-rise
residential buildings
especially for assembly
of industrial plants
consisting of steel
structures.
Crawler Mounted Cranes
These crawler cranes are suitable for the rough surface area.Even
though these cranes have no outriggers, they can operate lifts with
minimal setup.Also, in addition to that they can move around
easily. Crawler cranes can move around even with a heavy load.
Compacting Equipment
This equipmentare used to expel air from a soil mass so as to
achieve a high density. Smooth-wheel rollers are suitable for
gravels and sand. Pneumatic-tired rollers are suitable for clays
with reasonably high moisture content.And sheepsfoot rollers
are the suitable for clays with low moisture content
Pumping Equipment
Pumping equipment are used to remove water from
a volume of liquid, solid material or soil. Pumps
remove liquid from a volume of liquid. They can be
used for keeping water out of foundations, pits,
tunnels, and other excavations and many more
Pile Driving Equipment
Here driving is
accomplished by
hammer on pile top.
Equipment are so
designed so as to remain
economic while driving.
Major pile driving
equipment includes pile
driving rigs and pile
driving hammers
Top companies that produce such construction industry-based
equipment are-

Caterpillar (USA)
Podemcrane
Optimas GmbH
Komatsu (Japan)
Volvo Construction Equipment (Sweden)
Hitachi Construction Equipment (Japan)
Fiori Group (Italy)
Liebherr (Germany)
Sany (China)
Zoomlion (China)
Terex (USA)
Doosan Infracore (South Korea)
John Deere (USA)
Çeksan
