What Are the Different Types of Earth Moving Equipment?

Earthmoving machinery, machinery for digging, scraping, pushing or leveling soil and gravel. Widely used in construction, water conservancy construction, road construction, airport construction, mining, dock construction, farmland improvement and other projects. The earliest earthmoving machinery was powered by human or animal power. The emergence of the steam engine in the 18th century led to the emergence of various earthmoving machinery. In the future, the power has developed from the steam engine to the current gasoline engine and diesel engine. The structure is gradually improved and the performance is increasingly improved.

Preparation machinery, earthmoving machinery,

Earth-moving machinery should be maintained and repaired strictly in accordance with the inspection system. During operation, no one should enter the working area. Buckets are not allowed to pass above the cab of the earth-moving vehicle. Attention should be paid to the danger of collapse of the excavation surface at any time; The working device must not be suspended, the slewing mechanism must not be rotated, and the whole machine must be firmly fixed; all earthmoving machinery must have good lighting during night construction.

Develop earthmoving machinery for special constructions, such as special earthmoving machinery for underwater resource development, plateau construction, and frozen ground operations; further reference and improvement of hydraulic technologies, such as high-energy-saving hydraulic systems; research on new principles of cutting and excavation, such as vibration excavation And flame-jet digging; apply self-control, remote control and computer control technology, as well as comprehensive mechanized equipment to study the construction process of the entire earthmoving project.

() General safety requirements

1. start up

Earthworks account for a large proportion in infrastructure construction, and construction equipment in earthworks plays a big role in it. Construction equipment mainly includes operating equipment and transportation equipment. Earthmoving equipment mainly includes excavating machinery, earthmoving machinery, leveling machinery, compaction machinery, etc. Earthmoving transportation equipment is mainly dump trucks, and dump trucks are also divided into highway vehicles. Dump trucks and off-highway dump trucks. The earthwork construction conditions are complex, most of which are open-air operations, which are difficult to determine due to climate, geology, and personnel operations. They are prone to accidents such as overturning, falling objects, and collisions, and there are relatively few workers outside the machine in earthwork. It is often the crew members that cause casualties. This requires earthwork construction equipment to have certain safety to protect the lives of crew members. Passive safety components / structures have played a key role in reducing casualties. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the passive safety test of earthmoving machinery and transportation equipment, and provide support for the effective verification of the passive safety of earthmoving equipment ^[1] .
