Construction site work requires the use of appropriate machinery to accomplish different tasks efficiently. In this article, Luyu will explore six of the most commonly used types of construction equipment on building sites, including wheel loaders, excavators, tractors, spider cranes, forklifts and concrete mixers.

1. Excavator

Uses: earthmoving, rock crushing, building demolition, site leveling.

Characteristics: standard hydraulic system, replaceable bucket, crushing hammer and other attachments, adaptable to complex terrain.

Common types: tracked (strong stability), wheeled (flexible movement).

2. Loader

Purpose: loading and unloading gravel, earth, loose materials, short distance transportation.

Characteristics: front-end bucket, flexible operation, widely used in mines, stockyards.

Representative models: wheel loader, backhoe loader.

3.Forklift

Internal Combustion Forklift

Applicable Scenario: Outdoor heavy-duty handling (building materials, steel components, palletized goods).

Selection points:

Cost-effective, suitable for medium-sized projects

Load: 3-10 tons (according to the weight of building materials to choose).

Power: diesel (strong power, suitable for harsh environments) / liquefied gas (low emission).

Electric forklift

Scenario: indoor warehouse, closed construction site with high environmental protection requirements.

Selection points:

Advanced technology technology, precise control

Continuity: 6-8 hours of continuous operation capacity.

Lifting height: 3-6 meters (matching the needs of shelves or vehicle loading and unloading).

Off-road forklift

Scenario: mud, gravel and other complex terrain handling (such as earthwork).

Four-wheel drive, strong grip, can be equipped with a variety of attachments.

4.Tractor

Engineering and construction field

Hauling and transportation: towing flatbed trucks, tank trucks, etc., transporting heavy building materials, machinery and equipment.

Site leveling: the front end is equipped with a bulldozer or bucket to clean up debris and level the foundation.

Auxiliary construction: Hook up perforators, compaction rollers and other attachments to complete specific processes.

Power output: drive water pump, generator and other equipment through PTO.

Agricultural field

Tillage: Hook up the plow implement and rotary tiller to turn over and loosen the soil.

Sowing/Harvesting: drive agricultural machinery such as seeder and harvester.

Irrigation and transportation: towing water tanker, fertilizer spreader.

Special scenarios

Forestry: hauling timber, hooking up wood grabbers.

Municipal: snow clearing (with snow plows), landscaping (with lawn care equipment).

5.Spider Cranes

A small, collapsible crawler crane, named for the outriggers unfolded in the shape of a spider's legs.

Lightweight: the whole machine is 2400kg lighter, suitable for indoor, roof and other areas with limited load bearing.

Flexible movement: track design, can be turned in place, through narrow doorways (2.8T-1.3m)

Remote control operation: most models support wireless remote control, a single person can complete the high-altitude precision lifting.

6.concrete mixers

Transportation mixing: continuously rotate the tank during transportation to prevent concrete from solidifying or segregating.

Precise unloading: control the unloading speed and angle through the hydraulic system to adapt to different construction scenarios.

Suitable for pump trucks: It can be used with concrete pump trucks to realize the integrated operation of “transportation and pumping”.
