Heavy machinery you have to see to believe
In the world of construction machinery, there are innovations happening all the time.
These new and exciting creations range from heavy machinery upgrades to technological ideas for the industry.
And you will regularly see a new type of equipment introduced at expos and conferences, allowing for significant growth in the construction industry.
Some of these innovations, however, you have to see to believe.
If you are thinking of buying new heavy construction machinery you need to be up-to-date with the latest industry trends. There might be a new front-end loader being released or a new type of crane with an easy-to-use telescopic boom that has just been introduced, so keep reading to discover more of these heavy machinery transformations.
The mini crane
Now, when we think of cranes, we often think of giant structures that are used to move materials and help with the construction of buildings or skyscrapers. But times have changed and some heavy constructions companies have found that a smaller crane is just as efficient in this role.
A mini construction crane can be used to move heavy materials in the same way that a normal crane is used, and while it is small it still has a decent amount of power behind it. If your workers are building a wall for an office block, they will have to bend and lift numerous times a day, but if you use a mini crane this can be completed easily and efficiently. Some of these cranes can handle loads up to 300kg, making them ideal for medium-sized projects as well.
Easy-to-use pipe layers
When you are constructing an office block or a building, you will likely need to lay pipe for the sewage or water system. This can become a difficult job, especially if you have a deadline to meet for the site. But there have been innovations introduced by way of easy-to-use pipe layers.
These pipe layers can handle heavy duty work, such as large metal or clay pipes and are controlled by a construction worker from the inside of a machine cab. The pipes are moved by an attachment which can swing a full 360 degree revolution, allowing workers to easily move pipes from one area to another. The cab has full visibility so that the workers can see exactly where to lay the pipe, allowing for more precision and productivity on with your team .
Efficient and compact wheel loaders
You might think about wheel loaders as being heavy and clunky machines, but there are now new and exciting compact wheel loaders making an impact in the construction world. These compact wheel loaders are efficient pieces of earth moving equipment, allowing for the job site to become productive and efficient.
These compact loaders do not compromise on quality or power, having added torque and strength to allow them to move and lift impressive loads. These machines also offer parallel movement, which makes for a smoother and more diverse range of movement. You will also find that the range of attachments allow you to use this machine for any number of purposes, as well as having hydraulics that are state-of-the-art.
Mechanically-fed concrete mixers
Mixing concrete is a tiring and time-consuming job but it is a necessity for any construction site. Today there are unique pieces of machinery to help with this job, such as mechanically-fed concrete mixers. These mixers are able to take on loads of up to 9.6 cubic metres per hour, making it much more efficient to mix concrete for your project.
These machines are equipped with a water tank which has an automatic filling and measuring mechanism, also known as a flowmeter. You can choose to start the machine by hand or you could opt for an electric start, either one will provide the same efficient operation. These concrete mixers can easily be towed for moving around the site when they are needed.
Easy excavating with intuitive graders
Graders are a vital piece of equipment that are used in construction. They are used to level and excavate land for roads, farms and even airports. They are ideal for transferring soil and stones and clearing the path for laying asphalt or to make the road to the construction site easier to manoeuvre.
There are new and improved intuitive graders which you can use now to make your work easier and efficient. The intuitive part comes in because they use a power-shift transmission to make for a more reliable ride.
There are three different power settings you can choose from for a smooth and solid grading, which will make your asphalt laying easier, smoother, and more level. These pieces of equipment are all geared towards making the construction process easier, more efficient, and keeping it up-to-date.
