The Perfect Construction Equipment And Machinery For Your Business

Whether it’s construction, mining, landscaping, or utilities, the use of heavy construction equipment and machinery is essential to the day-to-day operation and tasks at hand.

Staying competitive in this industry means keeping up with the latest trends in equipment, evolving industry standards, good practice, and indeed, involves investing in new machinery to do the job better and faster.

Alright, enough chit-chat. Let’s meet the latest and greatest machines that are making our world tick.

Landscaping

Landscaping contractors have a wide range of equipment they can call upon to complete across tasks, whether that’s a private development or a public park, the list of tasks is almost endless. That means versatility is the number one factor that influences which types of machinery are best for this fast-evolving industry. As a landscaper in Perth, consider adding some of the following to your fleet:

Skid steer loaders

You can’t talk about landscaping equipment without first mentioning the trusty skid steer. Lovingly known in Australia as the bobcat, these classics have been roaming building sites, and landscaping projects for decades, and it’s’ easy to see why they’re so popular.

As a highly versatile loader, the skid steer can lift, move, dig, backfill sites in various different situations. Aside from its usual lifting and moving role, the skid steer can be extremely useful in landscaping projects, with some of the following attachments you can expect a skid steer to be able to:

• Grind tree stumps
• Dig out tree roots and stumps
• Chip wood
• Trench

Compact track loaders

When it comes to easy site access and versatility on rough and muddy ground surfaces, landscapers often find themselves relying on tracks to navigate these difficult conditions. You’ll notice that compact track loaders are very similar to the classic skid steer. The compact track loader is a more modern iteration of this well-known “bobcat” class. For compact loading, and high accuracy, low impact jobs this is the ideal workhorse for smaller projects.

Articulated loaders

These machines are highly versatile in being able to move around quickly, and lift large amounts of debris and dirt without a hassle. Instead of tracked cousins, the latest 47.6 horsepower Kubota R430 is an ideal choice for landscapers, contractors, and anyone chasing a surprising amount of listing power and easy on-site manoeuvrability.

Lawnmowers

Contractors working in the landscaping industry will know the importance of having a reliable lawn mower in stock. Whether it’s a complimentary service offered at the end of a bog project, or a special request by a client, having the ability to mow a lawn is a vital part of any landscaping repertoire. Doing the job quickly and efficiently with a ride-on mower can save time compared to handheld versions which often are more fuel-thirsty and more difficult to manoeuvre.

Construction and Mining

The construction industry has perhaps the most versatile range of equipment under its belt. Because of the wide variety of tasks that need to be carried out from new builds, to renovation, civil and larger projects, the equipment used is often more heavy-duty and often much larger. Construction crews will benefit from:

Excavators

Whether it’s heavy-duty digging projects, earthmoving tasks, or demolition projects, diggers are arguably one of the most important pieces of equipment on the job site. With tracks for superior grip, stability, and accessibility, these giants can crawl almost anywhere to get the job done.

As technologies advance, higher horsepower, and more efficient and powerful hydraulic systems such as in the 8 tonne, 66 horsepower Kubota KX080-3 excavator are changing the way construction crews work, with faster and more accurate digging ramping up project speed and delivery.

Backhoe loaders

These versatile beasts can be seen on many modern construction and mining sites due to their incredible flexibility and versatility in dual side usage. The loader sale shovel upfront is combined with an excavation backhoe. Backhoe loaders are increasingly used in civil construction projects where the dual use of the backhoe and loader functions are making tasks such as trenching, back-filling, and material handling more efficient.

Generators

Not all equipment is as glamorous as the tall excavators that you see clawing up dirt and debris on a building site. Sometimes it’s the little things that count when it comes to getting the project underway without a hitch.

Building sites are often without power and a generator is needed to charge, and power various other tools.

Whether that’s a large three-phase diesel generator, or a more compact single-phase Kubota generator, the needs of various projects are often determined by the scale of the project, and the kind of equipment being used. Larger off-grid projects will often require an office space to be powered with lights, and various pieces of machinery to be charged throughout the day, such as phones, radio equipment, and drills.

Benefits of using a local dealership to upgrade your fleet

Whether you’re searching for a Kubota excavator for sale, or a trusty bobcat to rent, knowing a local dealership that can supply you with the equipment you need to get ahead in your business can change the way you manage your fleet. Often local dealerships will offer unique servicing packages to clients, which helps keep your fleet properly maintained and ready for any project that may come your way. Reach out to your local Kubota dealership to find out what equipment you might be missing out on.
