The definition of heavy equipment is a large machine with a construction function such as moving building materials to another place or earthworking.

There are five components in heavy equipment, namely implements, structures, traction devices, transmission and power sources, and control systems.

There are several types of heavy equipment that are generally used in construction, including the following.

bulldozer
Bulldozers are heavy equipment used to cultivate land, especially as a means of pushing soil material and stockpiling soil.

The drawback of this tool is that the distance cannot be too far or short.

Excavators
Excavator is a tool for moving and transporting material into trucks. Excavator is also known as earth digging tool. Same with bulldozers, excavators also cannot be used over long distances.

Wheel Loaders and Track Loaders
Wheel Loaders and Track Loaders have the same function as bulldozers, namely moving material from one machine to another. The distance between the Wheel Loader and Track Loader is very short because it is only for moving material.

Scraper Motor
A motor scraper is a heavy equipment whose function is to cut embankment slopes or dam slopes, dig the soil between concrete buildings, and level roads.

This tool is capable of digging up to the surface of the soil to a thickness of + 2.5 mm and backfilling somewhere up to a minimum thickness of + 2.5 mm as well

Motor Graders
Motor Grader is heavy equipment that functions to mechanically level the clearing of land, displacing the soil, leveling the embankments, backfilling the excavation, and mixing the soil.

Asphalt Finishers
Asphalt Finisher is used as a tool that spreads asphalt mixture onto the road. The drawback of this tool is that the rubber wheels have a greater threshold power so that the rotation of the centipede wheels takes longer to maneuver.

Mobile Cranes
Mobile cranes are used as material transporters. Mobile cranes are easier to use because they can move places easily. The drawback of this tool is that it cannot be used on the surface of the water.

Pneumatic Tire Rollers
Pneumatic Tire Roller is a tool used in grinding granular materials or hot mix layers. Pneumatic Tire Rollers are rarely used because they are difficult to move, generally people use cranes because they are easier to move.

Concrete Batching Plant
Concrete Batching Plant has the main function of mixing and producing concrete in large quantities. The purpose of this tool is to use ready mix concrete according to standards, the slump test values ​​and trenths are stable, and the quality is well maintained.

Tower Cranes
Tower cranes function to transport building materials to the part that is above. Tower cranes are generally used to build multi-storey buildings, bridges and apartments.

Thus the discussion regarding the types of heavy equipment and their functions in development projects. Heavy equipment has an important role in supporting construction, mining, agriculture/plantation activities, and so on.

The risks faced by workers when heavy equipment is operated are no less severe. Apart from the risk, the price of buying heavy equipment to support a development project is no less heavy because the price of the equipment mentioned above is very expensive.

Maintenance costs for fuel and spare parts are also very expensive. Now for those of you who want to buy heavy equipment to support your business project, CSUL Finance has the financing solution.
