• Construction Équipments are one of the very important resources of modern-day
construction, especially in infra-structure projects.
Planning and selection of construction Equipment
‘’Anytime a unit of equipment will pay for itself on
work certain to be done, it is a good business to
purchase it.’’
Planning and selection of construction Equipment
Facteurs affecting la sélection of construction Equipment
 Standard Type of Equipment
 Special Equipment
 Replacement parts
 Economical life of construction Equipment
• When should equipment be replaced?
• Purchase or rent equipment?
 Advantages of renting equipment
• Access to a wide range of equipment when needed.
• Save maintenance cost.
• Use reliable, safe equipment.
• Avoid losses due to sudden stops.
 Types of Equipments
Earth-moving
Equipment
Hauling Equipment
Heavy Equipment are
classified as
Hoisting Equipment
Conveying
Equipment
Concrete Production
Equipment

Earthwork and Excavating Équipment
 Excavators
 Face shovel excavator
This can be of cable or
hydraulic operated,
mounted on wheel or
Track.
Earthwork and Excavating Équipment
 Excavators
 Backactors (Backhoe):
They are used for below
ground level excavation.
Earthwork and Excavating Équipment
 Excavators
 Clamshell Excavator
This machine is very useful in
a big site where large amount
of soil needs to be removed.
Earthwork and Excavating Équipment
 Bulldozers
They are traditionally track
mounted tractor with signifi
cant weight so that they ca
n work easier with soil.
Earthwork and Excavating Équipment
 Tractor Shovel
This machine is similar to a
bulldozer but has a hydraulic
operated bucket instead of
Blade.
Earthwork and Excavating Équipment
 Powered shovel or Drill
This is for cutting large
Boulders or Rocks.
Earthwork and Excavating Équipment
Grader
