Heavy industry produces products either heavy in weight or require heavy processes leading to their production. Many Japanese and Korean firms use the term in company names, referring to construction for big projects. Projects include the construction of large buildings, plants and the production of construction equipment such as cranes and bulldozers. Farm machinery also falls under equipment. Heavy industry projects generally require more capital investment and greater or more advanced resources, facilities or management.
Heavy equipment refers to heavy-duty vehicles specially designed for construction tasks, most often involving earthwork operations. Such machinery is also known as construction equipment, construction plant, earth movers, engineering vehicles, or simply, equipment. Equipment is generally composed of five equipment systems: implement, traction, structure, power train, control and information. Most equipment use hydraulics as a primary source of transferring power.
Examples of types of heavy equipment include:
Aerial work platform / Lift table Attachments
Agricultural tractors Asphalt paver Asphalt plant Backhoe loader, Backhoe Boomtruck Bulldozer Cherry picker Construction & mining tractor Construction & mining trucks Crane Drilling machine Dump truck Excavator (wheel) Excavator (bagger, digger) Forklift Grader Harvester Highway equipment Loader Military engineering vehicles Pipelayer Reclaimer & Soil stabilizer Rotary tiller (rototiller, rotovator) Scraper Skidder Steam shovel Street sweeper Telescopic handlers Trencher (machine) Tunnel boring machine Underground mining equipment Water wagon Zamboni (ice shaver)
