ARTICULATED TRUCK
An articulated hauler, articulated dump truck (ADT), or
sometimes a dump hauler, is a very large heavy duty type
of dump truck used to transport loads over rough terrain,
and occasionally public roads.
BACKHOE LOADERS
Backhoe loaders are the staple of small earthmoving
fleets, with a front bucket that allows them to work as
wheel loaders, and with an excavator-style digging
mechanism at the back for trenching to depths of 14 feet
or more. Backhoes also can be equipped with a front or
rear-mounted coupler that allows attachment use.
CRAWLER DOZERS
Crawler dozers are powerful tracked machines that use a
variety of front mounted blades to move material. Large
dozers often do pioneering work, such as moving dirt in
preparation for new roadways or removing overburden in
mining applications. Smaller machines often are used as
grading tractors, sometimes using automated grade
controls to precisely establish complex contours.
CRAWLER EXCAVATORS
A Crawler Excavator are utilitarian machines that can dig
trenches, load trucks, lift pipe, and handle attachments,
such as hydraulic breakers, shears, and grapples. These
machines range in size from the "mini" that fits through a
back-yard gate, to those in mining applications and have
operating weights of a quarter million pounds or more.
CRAWLER LOADERS
Crawler Loaders are track propelled units that typically
feature a front loader bucket. These pieces of heavy
equipment offer the power and stability of a Crawler
Dozer, while still providing the lifting and loading
capabilities of a Wheel Loader.
CRAWLER TRACTORS
Power and innovative technology are the hallmarks of
Liebherr crawler tractors. Whether for heavy ripping work,
moving material or fine-grading, crawler dozers from
Liebherr are powerful machines for every application.
LANDFILL COMPACTORS
SURFACE DRILLS
Surface down-the-hole (DTH) drills offer the highest
mobility, a smaller footprint and the ability to serve
multiple sites. Equipped with powerful down-the-hole
hammers, Down The Hole Rigs are designed for high-
capacity rock drilling in quarries, opencast mines and rock
excavation projects.
WHEEL DOZER
Wheel Dozers. Wheel Dozers are specifically designed for
mobility, maneuverability and good speed. Wheel dozers
can travel at speeds of up to three times faster than track-
type tractors.
WHEEL LOADERS
Wheel loaders are versatile mobile shovels that transfer
material from stockpiles to trucks, or transport material
around job sites. Bucket sizes range from perhaps 1 cubic
yard for small utility machines, to 20 cubic yards or more
for large models in mining applications. Small and mid-
sized wheel loaders frequently have an attachment
coupler that allows them to use work tools such as forks,
brooms, and lifting jibs.
