Heavy equipment is at the core of the fluid movement of material and progress of work in construction and mining activity. Separate machines for digging and pushing mined material around bring a focus to your work and help you coordinate your site activities. Heavy earth-moving equipment from National Plant & Equipment, helmed by Mark Ackroyd, shows a demonstrated capacity for the manner of consistent site performance is the basis for good construction and mining activity.
Choice of vehicles for your work
Choosing the correct machinery is imperative for the best efficiency on the site. Here is the list of rental equipment you can get for your construction or mining work:
a)Excavators
b)Dump trucks
c)Dozers
d)Graders
e)Loaders
f)Compactors
g)Water trucks
h)Service trucks
Excavators
Excavators are heavy construction equipment that works to dig and remove soil and rock. While they work wonderfully well in the open areas they become stuck in small confined areas because they have a boom, dipper, bucket, and a cab. The undercarriage has tracks or wheels.
Dump Trucks
Also known as tipper trucks, the dump trucks are useful for taking out the rock, soil, gravel, and demolition wastes to the dumping site. They have an open box bed with hydraulic rams and is hinged at the back. This allows the material to be dumped by raising the bed.
Dozers
A bulldozer or Dozer is a continuous tracked tractor with a very big metal plate in front to push the sand, soil, and rubble during construction work. It has a ripper, a claw-like device at the back that helps to loosen the rubble or soil. We find the bulldozer in a mine, quarry, and at engineering project sites.
Graders
Used in road grading operations, the grader is mounted on three axles usually and has at least one blade that has a width of 2.5 - 7.3 meters. This construction machine is used to make a flat surface during the road laying and other construction site activities. The rear axles are usually driven in tandem.
Loaders
This is heavy equipment machinery that helps load or moves aside demolition debris, asphalt, gravel, feed, dirt, and rock. There are many types of loaders depending on the type of work in hand such as the bucket loader, front-end loader, shovel, scoop, and skip loader.
Compactors
When we need to reduce the volume of a biomass or construction material, we use a compactor. A trash compactor helps reduce the size of the trash. It is powered by hydraulics and has spiked steel wheels that help it to move with a sure grip. It is used at times as a car crusher. It is commonly found in scrap metal processing.
Water trucks
These trucks have maximum use in gardens pools, landscaping, and ranches. They are used to provide water on the construction site. Mostly, the water is non-potable though there are drinking water delivery trucks also. They are used in compaction and dust control.
Service trucks
The service or utility truck is used to apply minor repairs to vehicles and equipment. You can take your tools and equipment to the site or your vehicle and do the repair. You can also use it for transporting tools and equipment back to your site.
Coordinate your construction activity anywhere in Australia with reliable and robust equipment from National Plant & Equipment. Your work proceeds effortlessly when you have the right equipment whether it is for home building or a large-scale civil or mining project.
