Types of Heavy Equipment You Need

Sometimes it is difficult to know what size or type of dump trailer or heavy equipment you will need when you are planning to do many different types of work with it. It is best to write down all the different things you want to accomplish with it such as collecting debris to be taken to the dump, hauling dirt for landscaping, hauling cedar chips for landscaping,etc. Think about how much room you are going to need for these tasks.Ask yourself what types of dump truck do you have that can pull your dump trailer, what is its hauling capacity. Look in the owners manual for each vehicle to be sure. These are all questions you need to answer for yourself before shopping around for a dump trailers of any kind. After you have these questions answered it is a good idea to call around to many different manufacturers of dump trucks to see which ones takes the time to answer your questions. Are they pushy and try to rush you into purchasing a certain model without listening to you or do they truly take the time to listen to your concerns? Are they pleasant even after you tell them you will get back to them later? A good salesperson never closes the door but leaves it open to future possibilities.

Transporting and Loading Used Heavy Equipment

Loading and Transporting Used Heavy Equipment
Brian Weseman, president of Towmaster Trailers Inc., in Litchfield, MN, recommends using an angle-iron beavertail to gain maximum traction while loading. “A wood beavertail tends to be more slippery,” he says. "Bulldozers, excavators, and rubber-tired backhoes will get far superior traction on an angle-iron beavertail than on a wood beavertail or ramp, but you need wood if you have a roller. A smooth roller won’t climb an angle-iron beavertail."Driving heavy construction equipment on and off a trailer can be a delicate operation, especially when the terrain isn’t level and flat. Sometimes a site is so uneven that an adjacent roadway must be commandeered for loading and unloading, despite the disruption of traffic.“When you’re loading and unloading, a major concern is to make sure you’re not doing it on a side hill,” cautions Weseman. “Try to minimize the side angle so the equipment doesn’t do the crappie flop---tip over sideways like a fish.”Loading and unloading in wet, muddy conditions causes other concerns. “The softer the ground, the farther into it your lowboy trailer is liable to sink,” Armstrong notes.

Dozers and Loaders Needed For Construction Projects

Dozers and Loaders are probably the most used of all heavy equipment during construction projects. There isn't a day that goes by when you don't see one on the side of the road or out on a developers lot. Of course there are many other types of equipment used when building houses but these two are the most prolific. I would say that dump trucks play a close 2nd to them.
If it seems like I am rambling it is because I sometimes have a hard time coming up with something interesting to say about antique machinery other than that is needs alot of sanding and painting, oiling and TLC but you can't beat the price.
We really need to get rid of these parts cars that are collecting dust out back so please if you know anyone that wants them we will cut them a really great deal.
There are also some really nice looking sports cars such as Used Corvettes.

Why is Heavy Equipment So Important

I can't begin to stress the major roll that heavy equipment has in our lives. From that you see used while driving to work along the freeways to dozers pushing dirt around creating new subdivisions near where you live. Heavy equipment has a great impact on the environment and sometimes it is not always for the better. Even though I sell used heavy equipment I am still loathe to see the clear cutting I saw recently in Houston Texas in the haste that developers are in to put up new houses. They literally stripped acres of land of all trees and bushes leaving a barren wasteland upon which they will be building hundreds of rows of tract housing out in the suburbs. I also see this type of development alot around Orlando Florida. I understand it is much easier to develop land in this manner than trying to spare every tree and shrub. In some parts of Florida you are not allowed to cut a tree down that is over 6 inches without a permit and if you do you have to replant many trees to make up for it. Perhaps the trees these developers plant later are supposed to make up for everything they obliterated but I know it takes decades to replace a full grown pine or oak tree.
In the area I live in we leave at least a 10 ft. swath of land uncleared all around the edges of the property for privacy and try to spare as many trees as possible because the shade really makes a difference in Florida. I don't like rules anymore than the next person when it comes to land clearing but it is a sin to see acres of land completely decimated to build these mega subdivisions. Be a responsible land developer and promote better land clearing practices that save already grown trees.
