Earth Moving Equipment, How It All Began

Earth moving equipment today is being utilized in a lot of applications all over the world, from mining to construction to agriculture, and even military applications. Ever wondered how such equipment came into use and why are they used on a large scale all over the world today?

Initially before the industrial revolution companies and businesses were local and small scale which did not require a lot of man power to build them. Moreover labor was cheap (still is in certain developing countries) which is why land owners used them for their farms and smaller building projects. With the onset of the industrial revolution there was a sudden boom of large projects which required enormous amounts of man power and even the largest amount of man power was not enough which led to the slow down of most large scale projects leading to delays and increased costs for hiring laborers. With the inventions of vehicles, transportation became much easier but the shoveling and digging needed increased amounts of workers that needed to work tirelessly. Increased amount of laborers easily translated into reduced profits for development companies. Gradually, construction machines were invented which brought down the time taken to build large projects and facilities. Such equipment seemed to deliver a much better output and a lot of contractors and tradesmen soon realized their value of getting more work done in a minimal amount of time and with reduced costs.

Today earth moving equipment offers a wide variety of choices to contractors who completely rely on the smooth functioning of such equipment for their building and construction plans. The bulldozer is one of the most widely used types of earth moving equipment today for moving material, with it being available from small ones which are used for backyard shoveling for local earth moving purposes to  the massive and extremely powerful ones that are used on mining projects. The technology that goes into new age bull dozers is also very complex requiring them to have trained servicemen and operators. The most commonly used type of earth moving equipment is the excavator which is used for digging and delivering material onto dumper trucks. They consist of a boom and a bucket and are available in a large variety of sizes from the mini-excavator which weighs about 3,549 pounds, to the largest excavator used in mining which is in excess of 2,160,510 pounds. Such excavators have a heavy capacity which makes them more productive and help increase profits.
