backhoe loader 反铲式装载机 Backhoe loader, also called a loader backhoe, and commonly shortened to backhoe, is an engineering vehicle, which consists of a tractor, fitted with a shovel/bucket on the front and a small backhoe on the back. Due to its (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very common in urban engineering and small construction projects (such as building a small house, fixing city roads etc). a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex . scraper n. 平土机;铲土机 a piece of heavy equipment used for earthmoving. Gravel is rock that is of a specific particle size range. Specifically, it is any loose rock that is larger than two millimeters (2?mm/0.079?in) in its smallest dimension (about 1/12 of an inch) and no more than 64?mm (2.5?in). The next smaller size class in geology is sand, which is 0.0625 to 2?mm (0.0025 to 0.0787?in) in size. The next larger size is cobble, which is 64 to 256?mm (2.5 to 10.1?in). Gravel can be sub-categorized into granule (2 to 4?mm/0.079 to 0.16?in) and pebble (4 to 64?mm/0.16 to 2.5?in). One 1?cu?ft (28.32?dm3) of gravel typically weighs about 100?pounds (45?kg). rubber Natural rubber is an elastomer (an elastic hydrocarbon polymer) that was originally derived from a milky colloidal suspension, or latex, found in the sap of some plants. The purified form of natural rubber is the chemical polyisoprene, which can also be produced synthetically. Natural rubber is used extensively in many applications and products as is synthetic rubber. Unit 41 Bulldozers A bulldozer is a crawler (caterpillar tracked tractor), equipped with a substantial metal plate (known as a blade), used to push large quantities of soil, sand, rubble, etc., during construction work. The term bulldozer is often used to mean any heavy engineering vehicle (sometimes a loader and sometimes an excavator), but precisely, the term refers only to a tracto
