Introduction

• The construction process is rarely simple.
  Workers need to move heavy materials and scale
  very tall structures. Due to these reasons, heavy
  equipment is a necessity on almost every job
  site.
• Heavy Machinery have evolved over the years for
  the purpose of construction.
• Construction equipment can be found in a wide
  variety. Every type of heavy equipment has its
  specific use and configuration. Using the right
  equipment, a construction company can ensure the
  process is efficient and safe. Let us know about
  the different types of heavy equipment used in
  construction site.

Excavators

• Heavy construction equipment such as excavators
  is widely used. This type of machine is used
  primarily for digging and moving dirt. Other uses
  include moving materials, demolishing structures,
  and cutting trees. Excavators comes in different
  sizes as per their operating weight like Mini
  excavator that can easily work at tight and
  compact space.

Tower Cranes

• Construction of tall structures requires the use
  of tower cranes for lifting materials up. The
  tower is supported by a mast, which is a vertical
  tower that protrudes above it.
• Construction companies often use tower cranes
  whenever they need to move heavy materials up an
  incline that isn't easy to move by other means.

Road Pavers
The Road paver machines are used to lay asphalt
on roads, bridges, parking lots, and other
surfaces. Pavers transfer asphalt from a dump
truck to the road, spreading it across the area
to be paved. It's common for these road pavers to
be accompanied by a compactor to flatten the
asphalt.

Forklifts
A lift truck also known as forklift is used to
lift and transfer materials. It comes in
different variations and load capacities. On
construction sites, bricks and wood as well as
tile and other interior construction materials
are often delivered through this machines.

Conclusion
You might see many other heavy machinery on a
construction site, but these machineries are most
commonly used. Almost every construction site
would require a mix of machines from this list to
be cost-effective and efficient.
