Construction tools



Some types of construction tools

There are various kinds of tools and equipments used for building and construction purposes. Constructions tools have been an integral part of building industry as they are unimaginable to construct a building without these tools. For every single activity at a construction site one invariably needs other kind of construction tools.

It is important to choose appropriate tool for every activity during the construction of a building. These tools are range from the lighter equipments like sand screening machine, air compressor, brick making machine to large, heavy equipments like cranes, dozers, haulers etc.


Every constructor looks for reliable tools which last long in rough conditions of the construction site. Thus, construction tools have to be on the principle reliable tools to serve the requirements of the site workers.

These are some of the construction tools which are generally used at a construction site:

Excavators

Excavators are heavy construction machines used for the purpose of pushing or lifting heavy objects from one place to another. These type of construction tools simplify the mammoth and tiring task of moving the large objects on a construction site.

Sand Screening Machine

Sand screening machine is used for screening sand to get rid of dust, dirt and slit from sand. Generally constructors prefer vibratory screening machine as it can sieve both wet as well as dry sand.

Concrete Mixers

Concrete mixers are used for mixing the cement consisting of sand and gravel with water. Together these ingredients form a homogeneous mixture of concrete. The anatomy of a concrete mixer comprises of a rotating drum used for mixing the ingredients. Though, some concrete mixers carry hoopers which make the job of mixing all easier.

Jaw Crusher

Jaw crushers are used for crushing heavy stones and rocks into smaller pieces so as to make them usable for construction purposes. The sizes of this construction tool vary as per the nature of job it has been assigned to.

Scrapers

Scraper is multipurpose mechanical construction equipment. This one single equipment is capable of doing three different tasks at a site i.e. excavating, digging and hauling. It is one versatile construction tool which digs the site, loads, hauls and dumps the scrap thereafter. Scraper is instrumental in preparing construction sites.

Cranes

Cranes are used for lifting heavy materials from one place to another. Cranes form an integral part of the construction tools as these simplify the task of transporting heavy materials to and fro to a great extent.

Boring Machines

Boring machines are used for the purpose of digging holes of precise diameters and depth in hard rocky surfaces or even in to metal equipments and buildings. These construction tools are used quite often at the construction sites.
