This document discusses various types of heavy equipment used for earth moving, hauling, excavating, compacting, producing construction materials, and paving. It provides details on the capacity and operation of dump trucks, dumpers, face shovels, sheepsfoot rollers, ready mixed concrete trucks, and asphalt pavers. Specifications are given for the hauling capacity of dump trucks, heaped capacity of dumpers, excavation depth of face shovels, drum weight and contact pressure of rollers, concrete capacity of delivery trucks, and paving width and speed of asphalt machines.

Loading and Hauling
1. Earth-moving and Heavy Construction Dump Truck
Dumper
The hauling capacity of Army dump trucks is
expressed gravimetrically: 5-ton and 20-ton. Standard dumper Conversely, the capacity of loading equipment is Diesel powered dumper with gravity tipping skip. Heaped normally expressed in cubic yards. The unit weight of capacity ranges from 0.7-1.5 m3. the various materials to be transported may vary Swivel skip dumper from as little as 1, 700 pounds per LCY for dry clay, to Hydraulic tipping skip mounted on 180-degree slewing 3,500 pounds per LCY for trap rock. turntable. Highway dumper 4. Compacting and Finishing Much larger dumper used to transport spoil off site. The rear tipping skip is hydraulically operated, and the usual Sheepsfoot Roller heaped capacity is 10 m3.
2. Excavating and Lifting
Face Shovel
Standard sheepsfoot roller, with 42-inch diameter
drums weigh between 8000 and 16000 lbs per 8 ft width and exert contact pressures from 1000 to 300 Face shovels are characterized by a boom and bucket arm psi, with spike contact area of 5 to 8 square inches. that extends and swings upwards from the front. It can be used to excavate any kind of soil, including rock that has The spikes compact a zone 2 to 8 inches beneath their been loosened by blasting. It is usual for an additional tips. haulage vehicle to be required for spoil removal, as well as a low loader transport lorry for travelling between sites. Face shovels are limited to an excavation depth of 300-400 mm below their own track or wheel level. 5. Production of Aggregate, Concrete and Asphalt
Ready mixed concrete trucks
These are used to transport mixed concrete to
sites from a mixing plant or depot. The trucks are fitted with a water tank, typically with a capacity of around 1000 liters, to avoid the concrete setting en route to the site. The usual capacity of trucks ranges from 4-6 m3. A chute is used that extends from the back of the truck to place the concrete either in the required location or into a dumper or pump.
6. Paving and Surface Treatment
Asphalt Paver
Standard paving range: 9.83 - 19.5 feet.
Max paving width w/ extension: 25 feet. Paving speed, V screed: 250 fpm. Paving speed, VT screed: 82.
