Everywhere around the world, the construction industry is booming mainly because of the fact that more and more people require more places to live, places to shop and places to hangout.

The equipment that helps in constructing these places also plays a vital role and without some of the common machinery that is used the builders will find it hard to complete the project in time.

Some of the most common and heavy machinery in Pakistan that is used is as follows:

  1. Self-loading concrete mixer

This machinery is fully automatic and has a compact design, it also reduces labor time since only one person can use this equipment in various construction sites without having to disrupt the construction process.

  1. Concrete pipe truck

This equipment is used to pump and place the concrete after it has been mixed in the mixer to the place you desire, it saves labor cost as it can be directly pumped to the desired location and it helps in reducing the manpower as well.

  1. Excavators

This large machinery is either run on wheels or tracks, and tracks are suggested be used with this huge machinery. The most common use of this machinery is that it can be used for mining, material handling, destruction, heavy lifting with pipe installation. These are widely available for rent in Pakistan and people also sell this type of used machinery.

  1. Bulldozers

A bulldozer is considered to be something heavy and powerful due to its name, and you are right it is considered to be the heaviest machinery in Pakistan and also around the world that is both solid and the strongest out of all equipment that is available. Bulldozers use a wide flat blade in the front and it is operated by two hydraulic pistons that help move the blade in limited positions and depths.

  1. Skid-Steer loaders

These small looking loaders are very quick; they have the ability to turn within their own footprint just like a tank! It is driven on wheels and has good traction both in mud and sand and these are widely sold out as used machinery in the construction industry as not everyone can afford to buy them.

  1. Common dump trucks

These trucks are needed on every large construction site since these trucks offer very limited functions but are very important because they can perform all the important tasks of transferring and dumping heavy materials. And as they are road steady they can be used anywhere, they also come in different sizes depending on the capacity and load needs of the construction site. They range from small trucks to enormous machines that are mostly used in the mining sector.

  1. Hydraulic mobile stone crusher

This stone crusher is mostly used in crushing and screening in many areas, such as the construction of roads, bridges, and buildings. It is also used in the mining and energy industries.

There is more heavy machinery in Pakistan that is sold as both new and used machinery in the market for the construction industry, but these are the most common ones which are frequently used for construction purposes.
