A wide variety of relatively heavy machines perform specific construction functions under power. It is customary to classify construction machines in accordance with their functions such as hoisting, excavating, hauling etc.
There have been few changes for many years in the basic types of machines available for specific jobs and few in the basic configurations of those that have long been available. The design emphasis for new machineries is on modifications that increase speed, efficiency, and accuracy. Also, that improve operator comfort and safety and that protect the public through sound attenuation and emission control. The choice of a machine for a specific job is mainly a question of economics and depends primarily on the ability of the machine to complete the job efficiently, and secondarily on its availability. Few Construction Equipment: - Hoisting equipment is applied to use for raising or lowering materials from one elevation to another. Also, to move them from one point to another over an obstruction. The main types of hoisting equipment are derricks, cableways, cranes etc. Excavating equipment is divided into standard land excavators and marine dredges. Each has many variations. The standard land excavator contains machines that digs earth and rock and place it in separate hauling units. While the second group includes machines such as bulldozers, scrapers of various types, and sometimes the front-end loader. Graders are mount as a levelling blade between the front and rear wheels. The major use is for fine-grading relatively loose and level earth. Drilling equipment is used to drill holes in rock for wells and for blasting and exploring. They are classified according to the way in which they penetrate rock. For example, percussion and rotary etc. Specialized construction equipment includes Earthmoving Attachments, Quick Hitches etc.
