Construction Equipment

Humans have used construction equipment of various designs throughout their history. Early civilizations used simple hand tools for construction, and later began to develop more advanced building and lifting implements. Modern construction equipment, while more advanced, are still used for the same functions.

Heavy construction equipment is manufactured to withstand the abuses of large, heavy operations. Earth moving equipment like bulldozers and bucket loaders are generally manufactured from heavy steel and iron, making them capable of heavy workloads over long periods of time. Cranes and most other heavy equipment are made to similarly heavy-duty specifications.

Construction equipment doesn’t always have to mean heavy equipment. Most tools used in home construction are hand-held power tools. Many of these are the modern descendents of some of man’s earliest tools.
