Heavy Equipment

The equipment used to create the world’s tallest buildings, the deepest mines and the most elaborate road systems in awe-inspiring. Behind the embankments, roads and quarries of the modern landscape lies a range of rugged, strong vehicles that literally shape the world in which we live. Heavy Equipment tells the story of these mighty machines and shows them in action.

Excavators, mining and tunnelling machinery, bulldozers, scrapers, wheeled loaders, dump trucks, cranes and road-making equipment are all profiled with full-colour photographs and artworks showing how they work – inside and out. The machines featured are breathtaking – trucks as big as houses, shovels that could lift a two-storey building, cranes as tall as a skyscraper.

Full colour photographs show the machines in action in different situations, and fully detailed artworks show clearly the workings of these outstanding pieces of equipment – inside and out.
