Construction Equipment: Illustrated History Books & Guides

Titans, les plus gros camions du monde

NEW

This book pays tribute to giant trucks operating where roads end, at the heart of the world's most demanding mines. It offers a clear immersion into extraordinary machines, from the Berliet T100 to the BelAZ 75710, including the Caterpillar 798 AC, Komatsu 980E-5, LeTourneau LCC1, and Hitachi HD1500-8.

The book explains their history, performance, and essential role. Without them, there would be no steel, no copper, and no batteries for modern technologies.

Abbruchmaschinen

Construction has always been associated with demolition, destruction and breaking. It is therefore not surprising that the machines that were designed for construction are also used for demolition.
The author presents a standard work and a fascinating illustrated book at the same time. He shows and explains cable and hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, crawler loaders, skid steer loaders and dump trucks, as well as a variety of interesting and unusual special equipment such as demolition balls and grapples, as well as enormous concrete tongs and scrap shears.
