Mowers 0 comments
A mower is a machine for cutting grass or other plants that grow on the ground.
Gang Reel
Reel mowers have a horizontally rotating cylindrical reel composed of helical blades, each of which in turn runs past a horizontal cutter-bar, producing a continuous scissor action. The bar is held at an adjustable level just above the ground and the reel runs at a speed dependent on the forward movement speed of the machine, driven by wheels running on the ground (or in self-powered applications by a motor).
This type of mower is used to produce consistently short and even grass on bowling greens, lawns, parks and sports grounds. When pulled by a tractor, these mowers are often ganged into sets of three, five or more, to form a gang mower.
Crucible Carrier 1 comments
Hot metal carriers (HMCs) are forklift-style vehicles used in smelters to pick up crucibles of molten metal from pot lines and carry them to casting machines.
Horizontal Drilling Machines 1 comments
Directional drilling (or slant drilling) is the practice of drilling non-vertical wells. It can be broken down into three main groups: Oilfield Directional Drilling, Utility Installation Directional Drilling or Horizontal Directional Drilling.
Road & Highway Const. 1 comments
A highway is a public road, especially a major road connecting two or more destinations. Any interconnected set of highways can be variously referred to as a “highway system “or a “highway network”.
Equipment used here can starts with clearing equipment, on to earthmoving and finally paving equipment. Bridge construction involves the use of hoisting equipment
Grapple 0 comments
Alternatively, some skidders have a hydraulic grapple bucket instead of a winch, and the bucket- attached to the skidder by a boom- grabs and lifts the timber.
There are three types of ‘fixed boom’ grapple skidders: a single function boom type with two hydraulic cylinders, only allowing the boom to lower in one position. The dual function booms has four cylinders, which allows for adjusting the boom in two different places. The third type that permits the grapple boom to be swung from side to side allowing spread out trees to be grabbed at once.
Line 0 comments
On a cable skidder, the cable is reeled out and attached to a pull of cut timber, then the winch pulls the load toward the skidder. The winch or grapple holds the trees while the skidder drags them to a landing area. Cable skidders are less popular than in the past. They are more labor intensive than grapple skidders because someone (the operator or a second person) must drag the winch line out to the logs and hook them up. This is helpful where it is not possible to drive the machine close to the log (such as in steep hills).
Clambunk 0 comments
A clam-bunk skidder has top-opening hydraulic jaws to hold a load of trees for extraction. The advantage over a grapple skidder is typically a larger payload that is located above the rear axle for improved traction. The disadvantage is that it must be loaded.
Harvester 0 comments
A harvester is a type of heavy forestry vehicle employed in cut-to-length logging operations for felling, delimbing and bucking trees. A forest harvester is typically employed together with a forwarder that hauls the logs to a roadside landing.
Forwarder 0 comments
A forwarder is a forestry vehicle that carries felled logs from the stump to a roadside landing. Unlike a skidder, a forwarder carries logs clear of the ground, which can reduce soil impacts but tends to limit the size of the logs it can move. Forwarders are typically employed together with harvesters in cut-to-length logging operations.
Feller Buncher 0 comments
A feller buncher is a type of harvester used in logging. It is a motorized vehicle with an attachment that can rapidly cut and gather several trees before felling them.
A feller buncher consists of a standard heavy equipment base with a tree-grabbing device furnished with a circular saw or a shear. The machine then places the cut tree on a stack suitable for a skidder or forwarder for further processing (e.g., delimbing, bucking, loading, or chipping).
Delimber 0 comments
Delimbers, normally mounted on hydraulic excavators, are used to remove branches from felled trees in the forestry industry. Since their early beginnings, various types have been developed, including chain flail, gate, slideboom, stroke, and pull-through delimbers.
Disc Harrow 0 comments
There are four general types of harrows: disc harrow, tine harrow, chain harrow and chain disk harrows. Harrows were originally drawn by draft animals, such as horses, mules, or oxen. In modern practice they are almost always tractor-mounted implements, either trailed after the tractor via a drawbar or mounted on the three-point hitch.
Baler 0 comments
In agriculture, a sprayer is a piece of equipment that use spray nozzles to apply herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers to agricultural crops. Sprayers range in size from pull type to self-propelled units similar to tractors with boom mounts of 60–151 feet in length.

Combine 0 comments
The combine harvester, or simply combine, is a machine that harvests grain crops.
Tractor 0 comments
A tractor is a vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort or torque at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling machinery used in agriculture or construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and originally) tillage but nowadays a great variety of tasks. Agricultural implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanized.
Chip Spreader 0 comments
A chip spreader lays down the aggregate on top of a bituminous binder which is then rolled by a compactor.
Air- track drill 0 comments
A drilling machine for quarry or opencast blasting, equipped with tracks and operated by independent air motors.
Public Works 0 comments
Public works refer to the broad array of projects, financed and constructed by the government, for recreational, employment, and health and safety uses in the greater community. They include bridges, parks, roads, municipal buildings, dams, railroads, schools, hospitals, beaches, and other physical, usually long-term, assets and facilities. Though often interchangeable with public infrastructure and public capital, public works does not necessarily carry an economic component, thereby being a more broader term.
Equipment in this industry includes all forms of earthmoving equipment, road paving equipment, trenching and excavating equipment, as well as hoisting equipment.
Mass Excavator 2 comments
Mass Excavators are massively built to allow the use of the largest buckets in the industry by weight class. These attachments are stoutly built for power, not reach. The machines are specifically designed for quickly loading trucks with the fewest passes.
Cable/Hammer Tractor 2 comments
A cable tractor is a machine used for pulling cables which either can be an electrical cable for a mine shovel or wire ropes during a shovel rope change.
Bulldozer (Track type) 1 comments
The term bulldozer technically refers only to a shovel-like blade, over the years people have come to associate the term bulldozer to the entire vehicle both blade and crawler tractor combined.
Bulldozers are a powerful tracked piece of equipment and the tracks give them excellent ground hold and mobility through very rough terrain. Wide tracks help distribute the bulldozer’s weight over a large area (decreasing pressure), thus preventing it from sinking in sandy or muddy ground.
Telehandlers 8 comments
A telescopic handler, or telehandler, is similar in appearance and function to a forklift but is more a crane than forklift, with the increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that can extend forwards and upwards from the vehicle. On the end of the boom the operator can fit one of several attachments, such as a bucket, pallet forks, or lift table.
The most common attachment for a telehandler is pallet forks and the most common application is to move loads to and from places unreachable for a conventional forklift.
Pipelayer (Side Boom) 1 comments
Pipelayers have been around since the 1920′s as various companies made sideboom attachments for crawler tractors. In the 1953, Midwestern introduced the world’s first hydraulic operated sideboom attachment for small tractors. Today, several companies sell integrated pipelayer.
Straight Boom 0 comments
Straight boom lifts are generally used for jobs that require a high reach without obstructions. The machine’s turntable can rotate 360 degrees with an extendable boom that can be raised vertically to below horizontal. The operator can maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is fully extended. It is available in gas, propane, or diesel-powered models with two or four-wheel drive.
Crawler Hydraulic 0 comments
A hydraulic crawler crane is a crane that is hydraulically powered on a tracked body. When working on the jobsite, weights can be added to stabilize the crane while stationary and hoisting. Crawler cranes have both advantages and disadvantages depending on their use. Their main advantage is that they can move around on site and perform each lift with little set-up, since the crane is stable on its tracks with no outriggers. In addition, a crawler crane is capable of traveling with a load. Since these cranes are on tracks, they need to be trucked from job site to job site.

backhoe loader 0 comments
A backhoe loader, also called a loader backhoe or tractor backhoe, is a heavy equipment vehicle that consists of a tractor fitted with a bucket on the front and a small backhoe on the back. Due to its relatively small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very common in urban construction projects. These machines travel on rubber tires, and can actually travel at speeds of approx. 25 mph/40 kmh. This makes these machines very popular where travel between worksites or excavations is required often.
These machines can dig small excavations, dig trenches, and using the loader attachment on the front of the machine can move material such as sand or gravel and can be used to can load trucks.
