Road Grader
-

A grader is a machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface. Graders are commonly
used in the construction and maintenance of dirt roads and gravel roads. In the construction of
paved roads they are used to prepare the base course to create a wide flat surface for the asphalt
to be placed on.

Capacities range from a blade width of 2.50 to 7.30 m and engines from 93373 kW(125
500 hp).

Asphalt distributor
-

Asphalt distributors are used to apply prime or tack coats on a surface in preparation for paving.
They are available in either truck mounted or trailer models and are considered the most
important piece of equipment on any asphalt surface treatment project. It consists of an insulated
tank with a heating system, a spray bar and unique control system.

Application of a prime or tack coat by the distributor is an exact science that requires
sophisticated equipment to ensure it produces a uniform spray

Asphalt paver
-

A paver (paver finisher, asphalt finisher, paving machine) is a machine used to lay asphalt on
roadways. It is normally fed by a dump truck which brings hot asphalt.

Paving Plant / asphalt plant

-

An asphalt plant is used for the manufacture of asphalt, macadam and other forms of coated road
stone, sometimes known as blacktop.

Road Reclaimers
-

Road reclaimers pulverize the asphalt layer and mix it with the underlying base to stabilize
deteriorated roadways. The reclaimers can add asphalt emulsions or other binding agents during
pulverization or during a separate mix pass.

Concrete batch plant

-

A concrete plant, also known as a batch plant, is a plant that combines various ingredients to form
concrete. Some of these inputs include sand, water, aggregate (rocks, gravel, etc.), fly ash,
potash, and cement. There are two types of concrete plants: ready mix plants and central mix
plants. A concrete plant can have a variety of parts and accessories, including but not limited to:
mixers (either tilt-up or horizontal or in some cases both), cement batchers, aggregate batchers,
conveyors, radial stackers, aggregate bins, cement bins, heaters, chillers, cement silos, batch
plant controls, and dust collectors (to minimize environmental pollution).

The center of concrete batching plant is the mixer. There are three types of mixer, tilt, pan, and
twin shaft mixer. The twin shaft mixer can ensure even mixture of concrete and large output, while
the tilt mixer offers a consistent mix with much less maintenance labor and cost.

Curb Machine
-

A curb machine takes concrete and creates a continuous curb and gutter.

Transit mixer
-

A cement mixer is a machine that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate (such as sand or
gravel), and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the
components.

Vibratory compactor
-

Vibratory roller compactor is used to compact soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt in the construction
of roads and foundations. It is widely used to compress the surface being rolled to ensure a
smooth, even surface. Vibratory rollers are widely used for compacting asphalt pavements
because they achieve the required densities faster.

Pneumatic tired roller

-

Pneumatic tire compactors are used on small to medium size compaction jobs, primarily on
bladed, granular base materials. Pneumatics are not suited for high production, thick lift
embankment compaction projects.

One advantage that pneumatic compactors have is that there is little bridging effect between the
tires. Therefore, they seek out soft spots which may exist in the fill. For this reason, they are
sometimes referred to as proof rollers.

Another advantage is that pneumatic rollers can be used on both soil and asphalt so a road
building contractor can save by having one compactor for both stages of construction base and
asphalt.

Padded Drum Compactor

-

Padded drum compactors are usually applied to compact soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt in the
construction of roads and foundations. The pads are involuted to walk out of the lift without fluffing
the soil and tapered to help clean themselves.

Pull Type-Sheepsfoot
-

Pulled behind a machine, a sheepsfoot roller has almost hoof like structures protruding from a
roller to offer pinpoint pressure as in a herd of sheep was walking across the field.

Combination Compactors
-

Combination compactors are used for the compaction of asphalt base and sub-base courses for
medium and large road construction and road maintenance. Some compact rollers also use a
vibratory system on the front drum for density requirements and four pneumatic tires in the rear to
provide impermeability and smoothness of the material. Compacted material manipulated by the
four pneumatic tires helps in improving surface texture and reduce water intrusion.

Bulldozer
-

A bulldozer is a crawler (continuous tracked tractor) equipped with a substantial metal plate
(known as a blade) used to push large quantities of soil, sand, rubble, or other such material
during construction or conversion work and typically equipped at the rear with a claw-like
device (known as a ripper) to loosen densely compacted materials.

Wheel loader
-

A loader (bucket loader, front loader, front-end loader, payloader, scoop,shovel, skip
loader, or wheel loader) is a heavy equipment machine used inconstruction and sidewalk
maintenance to move aside or load materials such asasphalt, demolition
debris, dirt, snow, feed, gravel, logs, raw minerals, recycled material, rock, sand, woodchips,
etc. into or onto another type of machinery (such as a dump truck, conveyor belt, feedhopper, or railroad car).

Dumptruck
-

A dump truck (or, UK, dumper\ tipper truck) is a truck used for transporting loose material
(such as sand, gravel, or dirt) for construction. A typical dump truck is equipped with an
open-box bed, which is hinged at the rear and equipped with hydraulic pistons to lift the front,
allowing the material in the bed to be deposited ("dumped") on the ground behind the truck at
the site of delivery.

Water tank truck

-

Water trucks are also in the construction industry which uses them for compaction and dust
control.

Concrete screeder
-

Screed is a flat board, or a purpose-made aluminium tool, used to smooth concrete after it
has been placed on a surface. Also used to assist in leveling the application of plaster.

Concrete vibrator

Concrete vibrators consolidate freshly poured concrete so that trapped air and excess water
are released and the concrete settles firmly in place in the formwork. Improper consolidation
of concrete can cause product defects, compromise the concrete strength, and produce
surface blemishes such as bug holes and honeycombing. An internal concrete vibrator is a
steel cylinder about the size of the handle of a baseball bat, with a hose or electrical cord
attached to one end. The vibrator head is immersed in the wet concrete.

Concrete cutter

A concrete saw (often known as a consaw or road saw) is a power tool used for
cutting concrete,masonry, brick, asphalt, tile, and other solid materials. It can be a small
hand-held cut-off saw, a big walk-behind saw or other styles, and it may be powered by
gasoline, hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, or electric motors. The saw blades used on
concrete saws are often diamond saw bladesto cut concrete, asphalt, stone, etc. Abrasive
cut-off wheels can also be used on cut-off saws to cut stone and steel. The
significant friction generated in cutting hard substances like concrete usually requires the
blades to be cooled to prolong their life and reduce dust.

Bar cutter

A bar cutter is a device typically used for cutting bars of metal. There are many different
types of bar cutters, each one with its own variance in material and size capacities, along
with cut cleanness. The most common type of bar cutter is an abrasive saw, but other
cutters, such as manual cutters and lasers, are commonly employed for certain applications.
Each type of bar cutter has its own advantages and disadvantages and can only cut certain
types of metal.
