Construction Equipment Books - History and Types

DMAX - Gigantische Baumaschinen

Without them, nothing works in the modern construction industry: excavators, construction dump trucks and concrete mixers, low loaders, telescopic loaders and tower cranes, crawler dozers, dump trucks and cranes, bulldozers and plate compactors, road rollers, scrapers and diaphragm wall machines.
Over the last hundred years, the world's motorization has not only revolutionized the areas of transport, agriculture and forestry, but also the construction industry.

In this DMAX book, Joachim M. Köstnick looks into all of these special devices, introduces the most important brands and models, explains how they work and where they are used.

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.
