Excavators
There are two types excavators:-•360 degree excavator•Backhoe excavators which can only move 180 degrees
The most common excavator is the JCB 3CX which is very versatile and can have many attachments incorporated onto its hydraulics. Excavators have two movable forms: wheeled and tracked.
They are used mainly in demolition and earth excavation and removal but can also be used to lift materials if certified to do so.

Dumper trucks
A dumper truck is a truck used for transporting loose material (such as sand, gravel, or dirt).
A typical dump truck is equipped with an open-box bed, which is hinged at the rear and equipped with hydraulic pistons to lift the front, allowing the material in the bed to be deposited on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery.

Forklift trucks
On construction sites, forklift trucks have large off-road tyres in order to cope with the rough terrain of construction sites conditions.
This type of plant is ideal for the unloading and distribution of materials in any 360 degree location, both vertically and horizontally.
Modern forklifts have telescopic booms that can be used to reach onto scaffolding platforms to deposit materials.

Trench Support systems
Are used to support the sides of excavations. They can take different forms:-
•Steel sheet piling driven in and propped•Hydraulic props between timber shores•Steel hydraulic trench boxes

Cement mixers and silos
Cement mixers range from a full batching plant that can produce concrete down to a small bag mixer.
Cement silos and mortar producing plants should be used on larger construction sites where economies of scale can be obtained by purchasing raw materials in bulk.

Supply of building materials
Many materials are supplied in construction and these are either sourced:-
• From the manufacturer directly where bulk amounts can be purchased
• From a distributor such as a builder’s merchant where smaller lots can be purchased.
When purchasing materials it is best to select the ‘crane off load option’.
Why?
Materials should be left on pallets and wrapped where possible.
Why?

Supply of building materials
Just-in-time (JIT)
One of the core problems in construction is that there is often too much material on site.
What are the potential problems?:
• congestion which impedes work and creates safety hazards;
• damage to materials in handling and storage;
• double handling when materials have to be moved from one work-face to another; and
• reduced productivity.

Construction Consolidation Centres (CCC)
The CCC allows the implementation of JIT while at the same time drastically reducing the transport volumes and carbon emissions.
It is particularly powerful in big city areas - in London, projects have achieved 70% reductions in emissions from site traffic.
Often successful strategy is to operate the CCC in combination with on site logistics specialists.
