Forward tipping dumpers are purpose built, highly maneuverable machines. They are designed for transporting various materials around building and construction sites. They are able to maneuver over a variety of ground conditions. The main purpose is to transport material safely and efficiently. Most dumpers are wheeled, however, they do come in a Track version. The dumper's capacity range from 0.5 ton to 9 ton. The most commonly used dumper on construction sites is between 4.6 tonnes which are sometimes fitted with cabs. | The range of equipment available today is wide ranging to suit today's construction industry. The most common uses is a twindrum vibrating roller. Sizes are between 1 to 10 ton. They are mainly used for compacting earthworks and aggregates. They are also used for road surfacing materials bituminuos. | Skid Steer Loaders are very versitile and manouverable items of machinery. They are used in a wide variety of appliactions within the construction industry. The Skid Steer can be fitted with a range of attachments. There are both wheeled and tracked units available. They are also used in landscaping and demolitions trades. | There are many types of Tractor available, with a range of usues. Both wheeled and tracked can be used in different appliactions. The tractors sizes are measured in horsepower. In the construction industry, tractors are normally used for towing trailers or refuelling bowsers. They can sometimes also be fitted with a road sweeping brush to keep site roads clean. | Articulated Dump Trucks are classified by the weight they can carry in tonnes, which refers to the maximum carrying capacity. They are used on most types of construction sites and are especially good on uneven and bad ground conditions. They can transport a range of materials from location to location, safely and efficiantly. They can reach speeds of 30mph and can operate in all types of site conditions. |

Loading Shovels come in both wheeled and tracked versions. The most common used in the construction industry is the wheeled type and are used to load vehicle's with aggregate type materials. They are also used for loading Hoppers on screening and crushing plants. The size of a Loading Shovel is determined by the size of the bucket and is measured in cubic meters. | The Telescopic Handler is used on almost every construction site in the UK. They are a nessecity on projects in order to unload, load, and stack materials. The Telescopic Handler is a major part of the construction industry. | The 180 Excavator is a versatile heavy machine used in construction and excavation. With its 180-degree swing capability, it can navigate tight spaces easily. Equipped with a powerful hydraulic arm and bucket attachment, it efficiently digs, lifts, and moves materials. Its uses include digging, clearing land, demolishing structures, and loading trucks. The 180 Excavator's flexibility and strength make it an essential tool for various projects. | The 360 Excavator categories come in two sizes - above and below 10 ton, they require different qualifications for each size. The above 10 ton Excavator would be mainly used for the larger type of groundworks on construction sites. Their uses include, loading materials into lorries and dumptrucks, as well as deep excavations. They can also be used with many different types of attachments. Sizes could range from 10-50 ton but can even be much larger for different types of contracts. | A Tunnel Locomotive is designed for tunneling and construction projects of a short duration. They aim to minimize expenditure and disruption to works that are required. There are different types of locomotives available which can pull anything between 8 - 16 ton. |
