MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY

In this post it has been tried to take a step ahead in understanding the earth moving equipments, as in the class we were just shown line diagrams or black and white(xerox) pictures which make us difficult to understand to some extent.
So here i have tried to just give a better view by getting their actual pictures

a.)Bulldozer




b.)Trencher

-Wheel type Trencher




-Ladder type Trencher



c.)Scraper



d.) Grader




e.)Earth compactors


-Plain steel roller



-sheep's foot tampering rollers



-Vibrating rollers



-Grid roller





-Pneumatic tyred rollers




f.)Power Shovel




g.)Backhoe





--These are the other attachments that can be added




h.)Dragline


i.)Clamshell



j.)
-Bucket wheel Excavator






-Cable Excavator




k.)Fork lift truck





Hope this information is helpful to everyone.
