Whois & Analysis for equipmentsearch.com

A loader is a heavy equipment machine used in construction to move aside or load materials such as asphalt, 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, feed-hopper, or railroad car).

There are many types of loader, which, depending on design and application, are called by various names, including bucket loader, front loader, front-end loader, payloader, scoop, shovel, skip loader, wheel loader, or skid-steer.

A backhoe, also called a rear actor or back actor, is a piece of excavating equipment or digger consisting of a digging bucket on the end of a two-part articulated arm.

They are typically mounted on the back of a tractor or front loader, the latter forming a 'backhoe loader' (colloquially known as a JCB in Ireland and UK).

The section of the arm closest to the vehicle is known as the , and the section which carries the bucket is known as the or dipper-stick, terms derived from steam shovels).

The boom is generally attached to the vehicle through a pivot known as the king-post, which allows the arm to pivot left and right, usually through a total of around 180–200 degrees.

Excavators (Hydraulic Excavators) are heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, dipper (or stick), bucket and cab on a rotating platform known as the "house".

The house sits atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels.

They are a natural progression from the steam shovels and often mistakenly called power shovels.

All movement and functions of a hydraulic excavator are accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid, with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors.

Due to the linear actuation of hydraulic cylinders, their mode of operation is fundamentally different from cable-operated excavators which use winches and steel ropes to accomplish the movements.

A compactor is a machine or mechanism used to reduce the size of material such as waste material or bio mass through compaction.

A trash compactor is often used by a home or business to reduce the amount of trash.

A baler-wrapper compactor is often used for making compact and wrapped bales in order to improve logistics.

A grader, also commonly referred to as a road grader or a motor grader, is a construction machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface during the grading process.

Typical models have three axles, with the engine and cab situated above the rear axles at one end of the vehicle and a third axle at the front end of the vehicle, with the blade in between.

In certain countries, for example in Finland, almost every grader is equipped with a second blade that is placed in front of the front axle.

Some construction personnel refer to the entire machine as "the blade".

Capacities range from a blade width of 2.50 to 7.30 m and engines from 93–373 kW (125–500 hp).

Certain graders can operate multiple attachments, or be used for separate tasks like underground mining.
