Engineering vehicles, known by the other terms: construction
equipment, earth movers, heavy equipment or just plain
equipment, are machines, specifically designed to execute civil
engineering and construction engineering tasks. The scope of the
specialized manufacturing industries covered by the previously
mentioned engineering fields is broad, encompassing in no order:
construction, logging, mining, waste management, military
engineering and agriculture. These machines are most often
associated with earthworks (engineering). These engineering
vehicle machines, in the most basic form, are compound machines
composed of simple machines. These components make up the five
equipment systems: implement, traction, structure, power train,
control and information. Through the mechanical advantage of a
simple machine, the ratio between input force applied and force
exerted is multiplied. Currently most equipment use hydraulics
as a primary source of transferring power. The use of heavy
equipment has a long history. Vit
