The backbone of large-scale large-scale construction, mining and infrastructure development is heavy construction equipment. Heavy construction equipment consists of typical heavy equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, dump trucks, motor graders and cranes.
Excavators are designed for all digging and trenching work, as well as demolition work. Bulldozers are primarily focused on pushing, clearing and leveling operations, whereas wheel loaders are designed to load and transport material. Cranes lift and position larger pieces of heavier structural components into place using hydraulic lifting capabilities.
Heavy construction equipment is powered by very large-diesel engines or advanced low-emission power systems that provide high-output power. Additionally, heavy construction equipment has strong hydraulic systems with smooth, precise control. Heavy construction equipment operator's cabins are designed for operator comfort, safety and visibility for long work hours with less operator fatigue. Most models also contain intelligent technologies that include load-monitoring capabilities, automated assist features, and equipment telematics capabilities that improve work efficiency, and decrease downtime.
