Types of Sand Bagging Machines

The sandbags and the sand bagging machines are generally used for protection against floods and raging rivers. There are different sand bagging machine models on the market, and every type is used for a specific purpose. In my opinion, the most commonly used sand bagging machines are: silt and sand bagging frame, gravity bagger, Ezi bagger, emergency sand bagger etc. Click here to find out more about these sand bagging machines. 

How to Operate a Mini Excavator

You though that operating a mini excavator is just as easy as playing with toys just because there is “mini” in its name? You are wrong. Operating a 3 tonne excavator is very requiring job position, because it is a part of the construction business. Click here if you are interested in few tips on operating a mini excavator.

Bulldozer – A Versatile Construction Equipment

The bulldozers are considered as versatile construction machines capable to perform different tasks efficiently and effectively. There are many dozer manufacturers in the world, but in my opinion, the Cat dozers are some of the finest on the market. These machines can be seen on every construction site in the world and are known for their durability, power and excellent performance.

The Working Principle Of Road Grader

A road grader is an incredibly important piece of construction machine for the construction industry. It is a machine that levels uneven surfaces and provides the needed grade degree. A typical road grader consists a large steel blade, positioned beneath the center of the unit, between the front and the rear axle. The large steel blade can be adjusted by the needs of the grader operator, in terms of height, angle and position of the blade.

The road grader can be used for a variety of uses, including for preparation of new roads, paving, for constructing/maintaining dirt roads, for leveling soils and for removing snow from the streets. Many grader types feature a GPS, allowing the operators to have a convenient and accurate control over the area they need to grade. Also, the grader models with GPS allow the operators to grade specific lengths of roads/soils, instead of manual estimating.

As mentioned, the blade of road graders is the most important part. It is specifically designed to create a flat and firm surface for construction of new roads and to level uneven grounds. Although the design of the road grader is a little weird, it is very useful addition in the construction industry, as it is more used than bulldozers and scrapers. Areas that generate large amounts of snow need an efficient machine that will remove the snow with only one pass. The road grader can be used for heavy snow removal from main roadways. For snow removal, its blade needs to be adjusted a little higher than the surface of the road, in order to prevent road damages.

The height of the blade of road graders is adjustable and it is lowered to the height at which the grade needs to be set. When the height of the blade is higher than the ground level, it means that the road grader is used to give a smooth finish to the ground. So, the angle of the grader's blade allows excess materials to fall away from the blade and leaves only a small ridge of dirt beside the grader during operation. With a several passes made, the road grader will efficiently level any kind of surface and will improve its grade with each pass over the surface.

Important Pieces Of Equipment In The Construction Industry

In the construction industry, there are many different pieces of construction equipment, each for specific application. From compact to extremely large, from lightweight to very heavy, the construction equipment are being manufactured for different purposes and are most efficient for specific applications. Some machines are used for excavation purposes, while some others for lifting or loading equipment and materials.  There are few categories of construction equipment: excavation equipment, compaction equipment, lifting equipment, mixing equipment and many others. In addition of this article, you can find the two most versatile and most important pieces of equipment in the construction industry.

An Excavator

The excavator is one of the most common pieces of construction equipment that can be found on a job site, simply because it is extremely versatile. A typical excavator consists a cabin for the operators, an articulated arm and a bucket. The bucket is a customizable, as each operator can choose one that is most suitable for the need. The excavator can be used for various purposes, including digging trenches, foundations and holes, cutting work, forestry work, material handling, demolishing work, heavy lifting and landscaping. There are lots of excavator types, including crawler, long-reach and suction excavator.

• A crawler excavator is one of the most common and most well-known excavators in the whole world. Its primary use is in the mining industry, because of its big size and incredible horsepower.
• As its name states, the long-reach excavator is a typical excavator with a long reach/arm. An excavator with a long reach is most efficient for demolition work, as it is able to reach the top of buildings and crumple the structures from there.
• Suction excavator, also known as a vacuum excavator, is an excavator type that efficiently clears debris from ground level through its suction pipe. As it is very efficient for removing underground elements, its most common use is in the mining industry.

A Crane

The cranes are well-known heavy machines to all, as they can be very commonly seen. If you still do not know what is crane, you remember that big machine that was lifting heavy materials in your street, right? Well, that is a crane: a big lifting machine that is able to lift thousands of tons in hundreds of meters in height. The cranes can lift very heavy equipment and materials to areas that would otherwise be impossible to access and operate on. Not only lifting, but the cranes can also move the loads in all directions.

However, there are many different types of cranes and each type is specifically designed for specific application. There are small cranes and large, powerful and extremely powerful cranes, with smaller and huge lifting capacity, each meant for specific purposes. Also, there are many cranes attachments, including sheaves, wire ropes, wire rope slings and chains.

These two pieces of equipment are the most commonly used ones in the construction industry, although there are many other small and large machines with different uses. And remember this, not having all pieces of equipment improves your productivity, but the right ones.
