Construction machines
Construction machines are all vehicles and equipment used in the construction industry. The term construction machinery is very broad and covers many industries such as:
- Civil engineering
- Mining and quarrying
- Recycling and compaction
The construction industry
The construction industry is an economic sector that mainly produces houses and commercial premises. From the moment the first shovel goes into the ground, many construction machines are used depending on the size of the project.
Drive
Many of the above-mentioned construction machines are available with tracks or wheels. Depending on the soil, the weather conditions and the accessibility of the construction site, wheeled or crawler excavators are used. The delivery date and the required lifting capacity and lifting height also play a factor, of course. Wheeled construction machines are faster than crawler machines.
Multi-purpose construction machines
An average excavator can handle many attachments. When the bucket is disconnected and a grab attached, it can be used as a demolition machine.
The telescopic handler is the ultimate all-rounder
A telescopic handler carries and transports heavy loads across the building site. The telescopic handler can be used as a forklift truck, wheel loader, aerial work platform, tractor and even as a crane. A telescopic handler can pull as well as push and is therefore an indispensable machine on many building sites.
