Small construction equipment

This category includes compact equipment for moving and compacting materials on a construction site. You will find motorised wheelbarrows with petrol, diesel or battery power, tracked mini dumpers and skip transporters, including several Imer models from the Carry range, as well as compaction machines: vibrating plates, petrol compactors and rammers. These machines are used to clear rubble, to supply concrete or aggregates and to prepare ground before laying a slab or paving.

Selection criteria

1. Payload

   The stated load varies by model, for example 300 kg, 400 kg, 500 kg or 700 kg in the product names. Choose a capacity suited to the volumes you actually move, without exceeding the load shown on the product page.

2. Power source

   Petrol or diesel engine models offer a run time dependent on the tank, while a battery-powered model operates without exhaust fumes, which is useful in enclosed spaces. Check the stated run time, such as the 2h30 indicated for the 300 W battery-powered wheelbarrow.

3. Tracks or wheels

   Tracks spread the weight and perform better on soft, muddy or sloping ground. Wheels are better suited to stable surfaces and travelling on hard ground.

4. Passage width

   Measure the doors, gates and paths through which the machine must pass. Some models, such as the variable-track Carry107 versions, allow the width between the tracks to be adjusted.

5. Body type

   A tipping body makes unloading easier, a dropside body holds loose materials better, and a loading shovel allows some models to load themselves. Choose according to the type of materials transported.

6. Compaction type

   A vibrating plate is suitable for large areas of sand, gravel or paving, whereas a rammer is suited to trenches and cohesive soils. The compaction force, expressed in kN for plates, is stated on the product page.
