Here is an informative infographic outlining 3 types of trucks and equipment that you may find on a large concrete project.
Working and managing large concrete projects requires moving a lot of dirt and material, and these vehicles can help you perform these tasks.
3 types of heavy equipment:
- lowboy truck
- excavator
- tractor truck
If you have a large amount of debris to remove before doing a new concrete pour you may be using a dumper truck. This vehicle is designed to carry bulk material and concrete blocks from building sites. Dumpers are different from traditional dump trucks by configuration: a dumper is an open 4-wheeled vehicle with a skip loader in front of the driver, and a dump truck has an enclosed cab in front of the load bed.
The front skip bucket can move to dump the load and a towing eye is fitted for secondary use as a tractor puller. Dumpers with special tracks are used in custom circumstances for working on nontraditional building sites.
