After WWI, demand for excavators increased and in 1924 they reached an agreement to build Marion draglines from 1 to 8 cubic yards capacity. In 1927, they built Type-7 1-yard and Type-460 1.5-yard models. The deal to build Marion machines ended in 1936. R&R began building their own designs with the Type-4120 followed by the 4140 of 3.5 cubic yards.
Underslung (lower-beam) launching gantry used for Skyline guideway construction (2015). A launching gantry (also called bridge building crane, and bridge-building machine) is a special-purpose mobile gantry crane used in bridge construction, specifically segmental bridges that use precast box girder bridge segments or precast girders in highway and high-speed rail bridge construction projects.
Assuming 1.0 kN/m 2 is applied for oiled steel formwork; Suction force: S = A x 1.0 kN/m 2 = 18 x 1.0 = 18 kN; Applied loads at element lifting (sling angle and lateral tension) F = W x Ksl x Ks x 0.5 = 64.8 x 1.16 x 1.2 x 0.5 = 45.1 kN; Anchor capacity for initial lift F/n = 23 kN per anchor during initial lift (n = 2 lifting anchors)
0.75 m³ (1 cubic yard) cart-away mixing trailer. A variant of standard concrete transportation is the concrete (or, cement) mixing trailer. These small versions of transit-mix trucks are used to supply short loads of concrete. They have a concrete mixing drum with a capacity of between 0.76 and 1.34 cubic metres (1 and 1.75 cu yd).
In the UK, ready-mixed concrete is specified either informally, by constituent weight or volume (1-2-4 or 1-3-6 being common mixes) or using the formal specification standards of the European standard EN 206+ A1, which is supplemented in the UK by BS 8500. This allows the customer to specify what the concrete has to be able to withstand in ...
Cranes are commonly employed in transportation for the loading and unloading of freight, in construction for the movement of materials, and in manufacturing for the assembling of heavy equipment. The first known crane machine was the shaduf , a water-lifting device that was invented in ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) and then appeared in ...
Nowadays such is the importance of this machinery, some transport companies have developed specific equipment to transport heavy construction equipment to and from sites. Most of the major equipment manufacturers such as Caterpillar, [ 2 ] Volvo, [ 3 ] Liebherr, [ 4 ] and Bobcat have released or have been developing fully or partially electric ...
The normal length of a metre-stick made for the international market is either one or two metres, while a yardstick made for the U.S. market is typically one yard (3 feet or 0.9144 metres) long. Metre-sticks are usually divided with lines for each millimetre (1000 per metre) and numerical markings per centimetre (100 per metre), with numbers ...
