MOST POPULAR USED CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
Skid Steers
Skid steers are one of the most versatile pieces of used construction heavy equipment to have on a job site. They can be used for all types of jobs, from loading dirt and moving it around to helping remove demolition debris and dig holes. With Cat attachments, the number of jobs a skid steer can do triples, and because of their small size and maneuverability, they are great for smaller construction jobs, such as in residential areas or other tight spaces. They can grade and dredge, as well as drill and help set foundations. Skid steers are often reported to be the first piece of used heavy equipment purchased by construction companies.
Excavators
If you are looking for a powerful digging machine, excavators are the used construction equipment of choice. These machines are built for digging and moving large quantities of dirt around. Wheeled or tracked, excavators have helped build thousands of buildings and miles of roads across the United States. They are simply constructed, with a stick and boom along with a bucket on the end, but these machines have saved millions of man hours doing the same amount of work. This piece of used construction equipment can be found doing work in the mountains as well as by the lake and shores of our country. To add to its versatility, a Cat attachment, such as a hammer or crusher, can turn your excavator into a demolition machine, cutting asphalt, digging holes, and grinding up trees.

Wheel Loaders
Wheel loaders are a cross between a skid loader and an excavator. They can move very large amounts of dirt from one location to another easily on wheels. These used construction heavy equipment is popular because they can move around job sites, as well as between job site locations, easily. It's front-mounted bucket collects and moves much more than dirt, including concrete, sand, gravel, soil, and other construction materials and debris. Wheel loaders are great for transporting materials to waiting trucks and dumping the material in so it can be whisked away to the abyss. Contact our team to get started today.
Backhoes
Many people are confused by the appearance of a backhoe, and are unsure which way is the front. This is because the backhoe is a construction heavy equipment machine that was designed to be two machines in one: a loader and an excavator. On one side of a backhoe is a large bucket that is a front loader. This bucket is useful for many construction needs, such as moving dirt and transporting other materials around a job site. The other part of a backhoe is the backhoe itself, which is an excavator that is a digging monster. The cab actually swivels so that the operator can use either end as needed. They can be used to dig up anything, from trenches to install underground pipes to backfilling them afterwards.

Motor Graders
Motor graders, or simply graders, are one of the first pieces of used heavy equipment you will see on construction and road building sites. They are characterized by a large scraper on the front that is used to level out the land to create a solid surface for buildings and roads to be built upon. They are great for pushing dirt around as well. In a process called scarifying, the top layer of soil is taken away, which is useful when building structures on top of the land. In sum, anytime you need a surface flattened, you use a motor grader. With the availability of Cat attachments, such as a ripper or v-plow, you can break up concrete and rocks or shovel snow off your construction site.
Bulldozers
Bulldozers perform many of the jobs that have already been mentioned above, such as grading, moving dirt and debris, and smoothing out surfaces. However, bulldozers are more powerful than many of the used construction equipment we've discussed. They are able to move and demolish anything and everything in its path, including trees, buildings, roads, and more. They are great for removing stumps and brush, and for moving large loads of dirt and construction debris easily and quickly. Bulldozers don't mess around, and this piece of used construction equipment gets the job done. Call Wagner Used Equipment to learn more today.
