Getting work done in construction can sometimes require a variety of heavy equipment. Different situations call for a different machine that's right for a job. While some can do multiple things, some machines do some tasks better than others. In this post, we're going to take a look at some kind of heavy equipment that is essential for your fleet to be able to handle any job. These are the must-have heavy construction equipment machines:

BULLDOZER
Bulldozers are probably the first machine many people think of when they hear the words "heavy equipment." These machines are equipped with wide, flat blades on the front that allow them to push large masses of earth. Bulldozers are also great for grading, as their sheer mass and power can flatten most of the things in their paths. There are different sizes of bulldozers available, so you're going to want to consider what's best for the kind of work you and your team are going to do.

LOADER BACKHOE
Loader backhoes, commonly referred to as backhoes. They have a bucket that can be used for digging and a loader bucket at the opposite end that can be used to push dirt and load material. Loader backhoes also offer the versatility of different attachments for the end of the boom, including different bucket widths. Backhoes are typically used for smaller jobs and the addition of rubber tires provides the added benefit of being able to drive to the work site.

SKID-STEER LOADER
The skid-steer loader bucket enables the ability to push, carry and load dirt and other materials. The capabilities of the machine are enhanced by a wide range of attachments available, including those designed for drilling and digging. One of the greatest advantages of skid-steer loaders is their size and maneuverability, which makes it possible for them to reach places other larger machines cannot.

EXCAVATOR
Excavators are among the most versatile digging machines in the category of heavy equipment. They can be used for a wide variety of tasks, including digging, demolition and clearing of land. While they are primarily used for digging, an increasing number of attachments, such as an auger, make many other functions possible. Excavators have cabs that can rotate a full 360 degrees, allowing a range that very few other heavy equipment machines offer.

DUMP TRUCK
After digging, you're going to need someplace to put that dirt. This is where the dump trucks come to play. They can not only transport earth and debris from the construction site, but they can also transport materials to the work site. They come in a variety of sizes that are equipped to handle different tasks and loads. You'll want to check the specifications of the dump truck based on the size of the load and the type of material you're transporting.
