- On-road or off-road haulers.
- Rear dump, side-dump, and bottom-dump.
- Articulated or rigid frame haulers.
- Four-wheeler or six-wheeler hauler.
- High utility vehicles
On-road vehicles are specially manufactured for public highways, whereas off-road haulers are designed for different types of construction sites.
Hauling equipment comes in different types. They are:
1. Utility Cranes
Cranes
are widely used in different industries for lifting and moving
materials from one place to another. They are generally, fitted with
shelves, wire ropes, and hoists. These equipment are also used to
demolish any building. There are two types of cranes can be found in the
construction industries. These are mobile cranes and fixed cranes.
2. Mobile crane
These cranes contain trusses and are mounted on mobile platforms, such as flatcars or trucks.
3. Fixed crane
Fixed cranes are widely used to lift heavy loads. These cranes are
considered as high utility cranes. They can be found in every
construction area. Different types of fixed cranes are tower cranes,
telescopic cranes, gantry crane, deck crane, hammerhead crane, jib
crane, etc.
4. Trucks
The truck is a vehicle
that is widely used to transport different types of materials like
soils, wood, metals, sands, dirt, etc. The cost of the hauling of trucks
is comparatively lower in comparison to other transporting vehicles.
Trucks are categorized into two types. These are on-road trucks and
off-road trucks.
5. Tractors
Tractors help to pull other hauling equipment
and machinery in the construction sites. They can mostly be found in
the agricultural industries. In agriculture, these utility vehicles are
generally used for tilling, plowing, planting fields, etc. Tractors
always deliver higher tractive efforts at a slower speed.
6. Bulldozers
Bulldozers
are another common hauling equipment that can be found in many
construction sites. These powerful machines are widely used to push
rocks, soils, rubble, sands, etc. Bulldozers can work in different types
of soils.
7. Excavators
Excavators are
powerful equipment that is specially designed for demolishing buildings,
lifting loads and digging holes. The main components of these hauling
equipment are a long hydraulic arm and a heavy-duty digging bucket.
These are generally fitted in the rotating platforms called House by which they can rotate 360 degrees.
Hauling equipment
are very much essential in every construction site. They give high
efforts and maximum efficiency every time. In short, these hauling
equipment make any construction project easier.
