These are powerful machines that are designed to perform tasks in construction, agriculture, mining, and other industries. Heavy machinery can be used to move earth, dig foundations, transport materials, lift heavy objects, and perform other tasks. Examples include: tractors, combines, sprayers, cotton pickers, bulldozers, excavators, backhoes, cranes, and loaders. These machines are essential for many industries and are often expensive to purchase and maintain.
Generally, heavy equipment can weigh anywhere from several tons to over a hundred tons. For example, a small excavator might weigh around 5 tons, while a large bulldozer could weigh up to 100 tons or more. The weight is an important factor to consider when transporting and operating it, as it can affect the type of transportation, handling, and permits required.
