Mobile Plant Safety

We have developed various guidance and tools for construction plant and equipment sector. The use of Mobile Plant in construction is common and carries with it significant hazards that can affect both operators of Mobile Plant and those working around them.

Types of Mobile Plant in Construction

Plant encompasses vehicles, machinery, equipment, tools, vessels, and even aircraft used across various industries. In construction, this includes cranes, hoists, cutting and grinding tools, compressors, and earthmoving or excavation machinery. A subset of this is Mobile Plant, which refers specifically to movable equipment commonly used on construction sites, such as:

Asphalt Pavers

Used to lay asphalt on roads, bridges, parking lots, and other surfaces. These machines ensure even spreading and compaction of the asphalt layer.

Asphalt Pavers
Mobile Cranes

Heavy-duty vehicle with an adjustable boom used to lift, move and place heavy materials and equipment on construction sites. Features various lifting capacities and reach configurations for different project requirements.

Mobile Cranes
Concrete Pump Trucks

Specialized trucks equipped with a boom-mounted pump system that precisely delivers concrete to various heights and distances. Essential for pouring concrete in hard-to-reach areas and multi-story construction projects.

Concrete Pump Trucks
Mobile Elevated Work Platforms

Self-propelled machines providing safe elevated access for workers and tools. Includes scissor lifts, boom lifts, and cherry pickers, allowing work at various heights while maintaining stability and safety.

Mobile Elevated Work Platforms
Excavators

Tracked or wheeled machines with a boom, stick, and bucket for digging, trenching, and material handling. Versatile equipment used for earthmoving, demolition, and general construction tasks.

Excavators
Rollers

Compaction equipment used to densify soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt surfaces. Available in various sizes and configurations including smooth drum, padfoot, and pneumatic tire designs.

Rollers
Loaders

Versatile machines equipped with a front-mounted bucket for loading, carrying, and transferring materials. Essential for moving earth, aggregate, and construction materials around job sites.

Loaders
Telehandlers

Multi-purpose machines combining the lifting capabilities of a forklift with the reach of a crane. Features an extending boom with various attachment options for lifting, placing, and moving materials at height.
