Under what conditions can construction haulers be used to their full potential?
The smallest devices in this group are a type of large diesel-powered wheelbarrows - so much more efficient that they can carry several tons of cargo at a time instead of a few dozen kilograms.
Small haulers are extremely useful machines in the close transportation of aggregates and any loose materials. In many situations they effectively replace both hand equipment and heavy construction machinery, allowing to significantly speed up the execution of work. What are the advantages of small construction haulers?
The most important advantage of small construction haulers is their excellent size-to-load ratio. The relatively small units are capable of carrying large quantities of bulk, bagged materials, rubble or stones. They reach particularly tight and low-ceilinged places without difficulty. They are much more efficient than hand equipment and at the same time, can work in places that heavy construction equipment cannot reach. Small construction haulers work very well with mini-excavators and larger backhoe loaders as auxiliary machines.
High-slung haulers, equipped with powerful diesel engines and suitable tires, move easily in difficult terrain (sand, mud, snow), easily overcome hills and off-road irregularities. Thanks to their low weight, they do not damage the surfaces they use for transport.
For what kind of work are haulers most useful?
Small construction haulers are ideal for work such as laying utilities, water mains, access road construction and paving. They provide fast transportation of aggregates and collection of native soil and delivery of construction materials.
A hauler with a capacity of 1 or 2 tons will also find numerous applications on farms. They can be used both for hauling feed (grain, potatoes, beets, dry bagged feed and liquid feed) and for various types of construction work, which is never in short supply on rural farms.
A wide range of applications for haulers can also be found in companies engaged in the establishment and maintenance of gardens. They are ideal for transporting soil, sand, peat, compost and fertilizers, as well as stones.
What to choose: buying or renting a hauler?
Small haulers are equipment of considerable value. Unless you are in a business where they will find a sustained workload, it will be difficult to get a quick return on investment. In such a situation, the best solution will be to rent a construction hauler. Renting gives you the opportunity to test different models of equipment - haulers from reputable manufacturers.
