  • Side-Shift Backhoe: A side-shift backhoe can be moved from side to side, allowing it to dig in tight spaces or around obstacles. It is often used in urban areas where space is limited.
  • Extendable Dipper Backhoe: An extendable dipper backhoe has a longer dipper arm that can be extended to reach deeper into the ground. It is often used for deep excavations or for digging in hard soil conditions.
  • Mini Backhoe: A mini backhoe is smaller than a standard backhoe and is used for light-duty earthmoving tasks or in confined spaces. It is often used for landscaping, digging small trenches, and small construction projects.
  • Towable Backhoe: A towable backhoe is mounted on a trailer and can be transported to different job sites. It is often used for smaller construction projects or for homeowners who need to dig trenches or excavate small areas.
  • Standard Dump Truck: This is the most common type of dump truck and is used for transporting loose materials, such as sand, gravel, and dirt. It has a hydraulic cylinder that allows the bed to be lifted and the materials to be dumped.
  • Articulated Dump Truck: An articulated dump truck has a hinge between the cab and the bed, allowing it to navigate uneven terrain and tight spaces. It is often used in mining and quarrying operations.
  • Off-Highway Dump Truck: An off-highway dump truck is designed for use in rough terrain, such as construction sites or mining operations. It has large wheels and a powerful engine that allows it to transport heavy loads.
  • Side Dump Truck: A side dump truck has a hydraulically operated bed that tilts to one side to dump materials. It is often used for road construction and in situations where the material needs to be dumped to the side of the truck rather than behind it.
  • Bottom Dump Truck: A bottom dump truck has a bed that opens from the bottom to dump materials. It is often used for transporting asphalt and other materials that need to be unloaded quickly and efficiently.
  • Compact Track Loader: A compact track loader is a small, versatile machine that is designed for use in tight spaces and on soft or delicate surfaces. It has rubber tracks that minimize damage to surfaces and can be equipped with various attachments, such as a bucket or pallet forks.
  • Multi-Terrain Loader: A multi-terrain loader is similar to a compact track loader but has a wider track base and lower ground pressure, making it better suited for use on uneven or unstable terrain. It is often used in landscaping and construction applications.

  • Integrated Tool Carrier Wheel Loader: An integrated tool carrier wheel loader is similar to a tool carrier wheel loader, but has a fully integrated attachment system that allows for faster attachment changes and improved machine performance.
  • Motor Scraper: A motor scraper is a self-propelled machine that is designed for moving large volumes of earth over long distances. It has a hydraulically operated bowl that can be raised and lowered to collect and transport material. Motor scrapers are often used in large-scale construction and mining operations.
  • Elevating Scraper: An elevating scraper is similar to a motor scraper, but has a mechanism that allows the bowl to be raised and tilted to discharge material over high walls or into trucks. It is often used in mining and quarrying operations.
  • Pull Scraper: A pull scraper is a towed machine that is pulled by a tractor or other vehicle. It has a bowl that can be raised and lowered to collect material, and is often used in smaller earthmoving projects.
  • Push-Pull Scraper: A push-pull scraper is a combination of a pull scraper and a push dozer. It has a towing hitch at both ends, allowing it to be pulled in one direction and pushed in the other. This makes it ideal for earthmoving projects that require high production rates and efficient material handling.
  • Open Bowl Scraper: An open bowl scraper is a type of pull scraper that has an open bowl instead of a closed bowl. It is often used in earthmoving projects where the material being moved is dry and can be easily transported without spillage.
