CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT POWER TRAINS INTRODUCTION Learning Objective: Identify the operational characteristics and components of drive trains, track assemblies, and track frames that are common to construction equipment power trains. Describe the operation of a winch. Identify the characteristics and maintenance of wire rope. The construction equipment used by the Navy are equipped with power trains that are similar in many ways to the automotive vehicle power trains described in chapters 4 and 5. However, factors, such as size, weight, design, and use, of the construction equipment require power trains that vary greatly in configuration. DRIVE TRAINS There are numerous types of equipment used in construction, from crawler tractors to excavators. However, the way power is distributed varies from piece to piece. The most common drive trains used in modern construction equipment are the mechanical and the hydrostatic drive trains. |
