1. INTRODUCTION
Road construction equipment refers to any machinery that is used for any type of
construction from small works to larger ones. These teams are
used to accelerate processes and time in construction, this directly impacts
in the economic aspect.
As civil engineers, we must have the judgment and knowledge of the different
functions that each team performs to know which one to use depending on the type of work in
that we are working.
2. ROAD EQUIPMENT
EXCAVATOR SY35U
Figure 1. Excavator
One of the most used equipment in the construction industry is used to carry out
excavations of earth of large volume or of some other type of material, also
used for lifting heavy objects, demolitions, river dredging, logging, etc.
Weight: 3.8 tons
Power: 2.7 HP or 2200 rpm
Spoon capacity: 0.12m3
Arm length: 1.4 m
Parts
Chassis: Place where all parts of the machine's structure rest, it can
to be on chains or tires.
Aguilón: It is the mechanical arm that resembles the movement of the human arm, it is operated
through a hydraulic and regular system to provide power to certain types of
excavations.
Operation cabin: Place where the machine operator is positioned.
Bottom frame: Part that serves to resist bending due to torsion of the forces in
excavations.
Feet: Base of the equipment that serves for the movement of the equipment, it can be with wheels or
iron chains that are for muddier grounds.
Corona: Part that rotates the arm and excavation shovel 360 degrees without the
need to move the machinery.
BHL75 BACKHOE LOADER
Figure 2. Backhoe
It is like a smaller excavator and this makes it versatile for smaller works.
since this does not need to be towed, it can be driven with a special license,
it can access smaller places due to its size. It is used to make trenches,
foundations, laying of pipes and cables. This consists of a bucket in the
rear part, while at the front is the loading spoon next to the mechanical arm.
Weight: 7.65 tons
Power: 99 HP or 1600 rpm
Spoon capacity: 0.26m3
Excavation depth: 4.46m
Hydraulic tank capacity: 140 L
Arm strength: 32 kN
GRADER

usually of roads. It additionally consists of some front rakes to
scarify hard material.
Power: 2000 rpm
Peso: 15906 kg
Width of the sheet: 3.7m
Cilindrada: 7.01 L
Length: 9.38m
Altura: 3.83m
TRACTOR OR BULLDOZER
Figure 4. Bulldozer
This type of truck equipment is used for soil excavation, which makes it
the difference from the rest is that this is for removing the surface layers of the soil up to
to reach more compact layers, they are also often used to lift and carry soil and
rocks.

sharpened. This plate is mobile because it works with hydraulic pistons.
Weight: 22 tons
Ancho: 2.54m
Plate width: 3.312m
Length: 5.43m
Altura: 3.17m
Power: 177 Kw
Displacement: 9.3 L
Speed: 11.7 km/h
FRONT LOADERS

This equipment is used for the removal and movement of earth, rocks, and fill material.
It has a concave bucket that is moved by articulated arms through a system.
hydraulic.
Power: 200 HP or 1800 rpm
Peso: 19500 kg
Cilindrada: 7.2 L
Spoon capacity: 3.5m3
Starting force: 16320 kg
TELESCOPIC HANDLER
Figure 6. Telescopic handler
Machine known for lifting large amounts of wood, rocks, and other types of
materials to elevated and hard-to-access areas, due to their hydraulic lifts and
its mechanical arm becomes one of the most versatile and efficient equipment for
Perform different types of work on site.
It can transport wooden pallets, concrete blocks, steel or PVC pipes, parts
pre-assembled, etc.
Capacity: 7100 kg
Maximum height: 12.7m
Maximum load height: 2722 kg
Maximum forward reach: 8.10m
Maximum load capacity: 978 kg
Level: 10°
Peso: 11505 kg
Turning radius: 3.96m
COMPACTOR
Figure 7. Roller compactor
This machine is one of the most used on construction sites, consisting of a structure that
maintains on wheels and has a roller that can be pneumatic or smooth steel, which
accelerates the soil compaction process. In every construction project, the soil
it must reach a maximum density this was achieved through compaction
through vibrations of this roller drum.
Peso: 10550 kg
Centrifugal force: 234 KN
Power: 129.4 HP or 2200 rpm
Length: 5.86m
Ancho: 2.30m
Altura: 3.11m
DUMP TRUCK

from the excavation. There are different load sizes in the truck's bucket
For overturning, there are 4.5 and 5 tons. The semi-heavy vehicles are capable of transporting.
7.5 tons.
Load capacity: 4.5 – 10 tons
Power: 210 HP
Address: hydraulics
Cilindrada: 6 L
