Engineering Machines

The document discusses various types of machinery commonly used in engineering and construction projects. It describes excavators, graders, road rollers, concrete mixers, pavers, dump trucks, loading shovels, tippers, cranes, and hoists. Excavators are versatile machines that can dig trenches, foundations, demolish structures, handle materials, and more. Graders create flat surfaces, rollers compact soil and asphalt, and concrete mixers combine cement ingredients. Pavers lay asphalt, dump trucks transport bulk materials, and loading shovels load and carry loads. Tippers discharge loads from trucks, cranes lift and move heavy loads, and hoists raise and lower materials.

ENGINEERING MACHINES

1. Excavator
Usage of Excavator in ConstructionThe excavator probably is the most
commonly used machine in the Construction Industry.There are many
uses of an Excavator.
 Digging of trenches, holes, foundations
 Demolition
 Material handling
 General grading/landscaping
 Brush cutting with hydraulic attachments
 Forestry work
 Lifting and placing of pipes
 Mining, especially, but not only open-pit mining
 River dredging

2. Graders
A grader is a construction machine with a long blade used to create a
flat surface. It is commonly called in names such as road grader, a
blade, a maintainer and motor grader.

3. Road roller
is a compactor type engineering vehicle used to compact soil, gravel,
concrete, or asphalt in the construction of roads and foundations, similar
rollers are used also at landfills or in agriculture.
4. Concrete mixture
is a machine that combines cement evenly to form aggregates such as
sand or gravel and water to concrete. A typical concrete mixer using a
rotating drum for mixing the components. For smaller volume works
portable concrete mixers are regularly used for concrete, can be
produced at the site, so that workers have enough time to use the
concrete before it hardens time.

5. Paver
A paver (paver finisher, asphalt finisher, paving machine) is an
engineering vehicle used to lay asphalt on roadways. It is normally fed by
a dump truck. A separate machine, a roller, is then used to press the hot
asphalt mix, resulting a smooth, even surface. The sub-base being
prepared by use of a grader to trim crushed stone to profile after Rolling
6. Dumpers
A dump truck is a vehicle designed to transport bulk material, often in
construction. It has a open jump ahead with the driver seat , and consist
of a large boxlike body to contain materials. A dumper usually has 4
Wheels, where the entire load and the movement depends on.

7. wheeled loading shovels


loading shovels are loaded where it counts, pushing the front end bucket
loader efficiency higher. From mini loaders to large production machines,
find the right fit for the work in load and carry operations, civil & building
construction, earth moving, waste handling, recycling, landscaping,
quarrying, aggregates, block handling, lumber yards, agriculture and
more
8. tippers
A truck or lorry the rear platform of which can be raised at the front end
to allow the load to be discharged by gravity also called tip truck

9. Crane
A crane is a type of machine commonly used in construction, generally
equipped with an elevator, ropes or chains and sheaves that can be used
both to move and to lift and lower materials horizontally. It is mainly used
for heavy lifting and transport to other locations
10. Hoist
Hoist is a device for raising or lowering a load by means of a drum or
wheel lift to which wraps the rope or chain. It can be operated by hand, is
driven electrically or pneumatically, and the chain or wire rope fibers are
used as lifting device. The load connected to the lifting means of a lifting
hook
