Common Construction Vehicles

There are variety of commonly used construction vehicles, which play their unique roles on the construction site. Here are some common construction vehicles and their main uses.

Dump Truck

Dump truck is mainly used for transporting and unloading sand, stone, earthwork and other building materials.

The carriage can be turned back or on its side to facilitate quick unloading of goods. Available in a variety of sizes, it can be used to handle materials of different weights.

Sprinkler

Responsible for sprinkling water and dust to keep the site environment clean.

Reduce the impact of dust on the surrounding environment.

Asphalt Distributor

Mainly used for road construction, the asphalt evenly sprinkled on the road surface to ensure the quality of the road.

Excavator

An earthmoving machine that uses the bucket of the machine to excavate material. It is widely used for digging ditches, digging foundations, removing tree stumps, moving loose soil and debris.

Bulldozer

Compacted materials include sandy, semi-cohesive and clayey soils, subgrade stabilized soils and asphalt concrete pavement layers.

Concrete Mixer Truck

The components of concrete (cement, sand or gravel and water) are held together to prevent them form segregating.

The material is transported to the site and pumped to where it is needed.

Grader

In addition, there are some other common construction vehicles such as wheel dredges ( used to load and move bulk materials), pre-loaders (used to move large quantities of bulk and construction materials), forklifts (to move pallets and large heavy objects in the site or warehouse), drillers (to drill holes in the ground, to drill holes in the ground, to move loads into the building. Prepare the construction site to install concrete piles), pile drivers large pipes or precast concrete pipe deep into the ground), etc.

These construction vehicles undertake different jobs on the construction site and together provide essential support for construction, ensuring the normal operation and efficient construction of the construction site.
