EQUIPMENT USED FOR
STRUCTURAL
Tower Crane
❑ Tower cranes are fixed cranes which are used for
hoisting purposes in construction of tall structures.
Heavy materials like pre-stressed concrete blocks, steel
trusses, frames etc. can be easily lifted to required
height using this type of equipment.
❑ They consists mast which is the vertical supporting
tower, Jib which is operating arm of crane, counter jib
which is the other arm carries counter weight on rear

 Telehandler

❑ Telehandlers are hoisting equipment used in

construction to lift heavy materials up to
required height or to provide construction
platform for workers at greater heights etc. It
contains a long telescopic boom which can be
raised or lowered or forwarded.
❑ Different types of arrangements like forklifts,
buckets, cabin, lifting jibs etc. can be attached

Concrete Mixer
❑ A concrete mixer (often colloquially called a cement mixer)
is a device that homogeneously combines cement,
aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form
concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to
mix the components. For smaller volume works, portable
concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be
made at the construction site, giving the workers ample
time to use the concrete before it hardens. An alternative
to a machine is mixing concrete by hand. This is usually
done in a wheelbarrow; however, several companies have
recently begun to sell modified tarps for this purpose.

Wheeled Tractor Scraper
❑ Wheel Tractor Scrapers are earth moving
equipment used to provide flatten soil surface
through scrapping. Front part contains wheeled
tractor vehicle and rear part contain a scrapping
arrangement such as horizontal front blade,
conveyor belt and soil collecting hopper.
❑ When the front blade is lowered onto the ground
and vehicle is moved, the blade starts digging the
soil above the blade level and the soil excavated is
collected in hopper through conveyor belt. When
the hopper is full, the rear part is raised from the
ground and hopper is unloaded at soil dump yard.

Asphalt Paver

❑ Paver or Asphalt paver is pavement laying

equipment which is used in road
construction. Paver contains a feeding bucket
in which asphalt is continuously loaded by the
dump truck and paver distributes the asphalt
evenly on the road surface with slight
compaction. However a roller is required after
laying asphalt layer for perfect compaction.

Smooth Wheel Compactor
❑ Compactors or Rollers are used to compact
the material or earth surface. Different types
of compactors are available for different
compacting purposes.
❑ Smooth wheel rollers are used for
compacting shallow layers of soil or asphalt
etc. sheep-foot rollers are used for deep
compaction purposes. Pneumatic tyred
rollers are used for compacting fine grained
soils, asphalt layers etc.
