Types of Construction Equipment
Small businesses and contractors have many construction equipment types to choose from. Each machine is used for various tasks to accomplish specific goals. Some construction equipment options include:
Bulldozer: A dozer has a bucket plate for demolishing, digging, excavating and leveling. These versatile machines are essential for site preparation.
Backhoe loader: A backhoe loader has a bucket in the front and an arm with a digging bucket in the back. This machine is ideal for excavating and earthmoving jobs.
These versatile machines are essential for site preparation, whether demolishing, digging, excavating or leveling. Some primary Cat construction equipment uses and goals include:
Carrying materials: Our construction equipment is heavy-duty and can handle heavy materials around the construction site. From drywall to boulders, our machines can do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
Excavating and earthmoving: Cat equipment is built for excavating and earthmoving, digging and lifting materials. They can handle any material, including dirt, sand, rock or clay.
Navigating rugged terrains: Wherever your construction site is located, our equipment solutions make material handling jobs easy. From rocky to wet terrain, you can get your materials from point A to point B.
Handling palletized loads: The Cat fork machines have flat tines to easily fit into palletized loads. They can withstand heavy loads to lift efficiently and transport materials with stability and precision.
Breaking apart solid surfaces: The equipment can break apart any solid surfaces too large for a jackhammer. These materials include large foundations or boulders that are in the way of your project.
Leveling the soil: Cat equipment can efficiently level soil for your new construction. Specifically, they can remove debris, break up chunks of dirt, and transport, push and smooth out materials as needed.
General Construction Tools
Caterpillar offers small business and contractor equipment solutions, gaining the most value and versatility from their equipment investment with Cat work tools. These attachments integrate into your Cat machine to increase its capabilities. Some of our attachments include:
Blades: Blades transport, push and smooth out materials using several designs, including S-blades, U-blades and cushion blades.
Rakes: A rake attachment has evenly spaced tines to level the soil, remove debris and break up chunks of dirt.
