Imagine The World Before The 1850
Imagine the world before the 1850. There was no heavy equipment to assist in making buildings, houses, paving roads or cranes to move heavy equipment. Draft animals were used to pull heavy loads. People who worked the lands had no help other than manual labor and draft horses. Manual labor was grueling before the industrial revolution of heavy equipment.
Over the years inventions were made that revolutionized the way building and structures were made. James Watt made the first reliable steam engine. Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, interchangeable parts for muskets. Cotton picking was very labor intensive for slaves before this invention.
As more and more interventions were made, they were being redesigned and built bigger and better. As the years went by back hoes, bulldozers, loaders were invented to excavate rock, gravel, and earth to prepare the land. Without heavy equipment back hoes and power shovels mines could not have been dug out to discover gold and precious gemstones. Waterways were very important for transporting and shipping materials and trade but required dredging equipment to widen and deepen waterways. …show more content…
It also depends on what job you are interested in. Welding involves moving heavy equipment like steel beams, welding equipment, and robotics. Cold planers are used in removing asphalt and concrete from roadways.
Working with heavy equipment can be stressful but fulfilling for those who enjoy a challenge of operating heavy equipment. Some jobs using this equipment are outdoors working in the cold, heat, rain and snow instead of working behind a desk. These machines deserve respect when operating due to the size and hazards that can be involved. Heavy equipment operator’s salaries range from $16 to $20 per hour depending on
