The term heavy machinery is used in context of heavy duty automobiles meant to be used for construction purposes. The most common purpose solved by heavy machines is earthwork activities. They are also known as construction equipment, heavy trucks, engineering machines and heavy hydraulics etc. They use hydraulic pistons to control their movement. Following are some of heavy machines used for various purposes.
· Graders
· Loaders
· Excavators
· Trucks and Tractors
· Soil compactors
· Scrapers
· Cranes
· Material handler
· Hydromatic machines
· Haulers
· Pavers and planers
· Dumpers
What is their use
They are used for various agricultural tasks like drilling, farming, and mining. Apart from agricultural use, Construction, Evacuation, Forestry and waste are some more areas of operational usage of heavy machines.
Internal Working
They comprise of five systems which work together to execute the following course of action.
Implement
It constitutes of tools and items of use like augers, spears, bull dozers blades, broom, hammers, buckets, landscape tillers, crushers, couplers and trenchers etc.
Traction Requirements
Heavy machinery is usually used on construction sites which are situated off the highways and roads. Thus, they require specially designed tires to drive through rocky and muddy tracks as well. The tires must solve the purpose of great speed and quick movement. These off the road and off the highway tires are usually designed for earthmoving machines, Load and carry machines for transporting and digging, Compactors, Earthmovers, Graders, Loaders, Log skidders and Mining and logging machines.
Structure
The structure of heavy machinery combines the frame of the machine, power derived from moving systems and a steering to control the wheeled systems. It helps the machine to transfer loads and also enables it to commute over bumpy tracks.
Power train
This component of the machine constitutes internal ignition system, transmission system, movement control system and brakes.
Control and Information
The control and information system of heavy machinery allows the operator to steer and control other moving systems, simultaneously availing information to operate the equipments.
Heavy machinery works on the principle of any simple machine. The fundamental of multiplication of the ratio of force applied and force exerted is directly applied to the functionality of heavy machinery.
These systems together enable the machine to perform its job more efficiently and quickly.
Maintenance
The machines are huge and so is the maintenance cost. Though all parts do not require maintenance regularly, but those which do you have to spend a lot of bucks. Tire maintenance is one such hectic and expensive job. While working on uneven tracks and rocky roads, the tires are the first things that wear out and need to be replaced.
Manufacturers of Heavy Machinery
Various well known companies and manufacturers make earth movers and other heavy equipments. Some top notch players in the list are
· Deere & Co.
· Bobcat
· Caterpillar
· Komatsu
· Case
· JCB
· Atlas
· Hitachi
· O & K
· Kubota
· Skaggit
· Koering
· Porclain
These companies have been manufacturing heavy machines since many decades and they guarantee performance and expert movement of the machines at the work area. Many other manufacturers prove their existence every now and then by introducing new machines in competition to old ones and the Construction world makes the maximum out of it. Heavy Machinery industry is progressing to great heights all over the world.
