In modern conditions, it is impossible to imagine the construction of buildings for various purposes without timely and high-quality delivery of building materials.. In most cases, the most common delivery vehicle today is a car. As a rule, construction materials are predominantly transported from manufacturers directly to the construction site..
As a rule, construction cargoes include various materials, structures, parts, technological equipment, as well as cargoes that arise during the construction process itself. The most common is the supply of sand and crushed stone: optimastroy.
According to some signs of the organization of loading and unloading operations, construction cargo is divided into 4 groups. These are piece cargoes made of reinforced concrete, metal and wooden structures, technological equipment, as well as cargoes arising from the construction process and belonging to the first group..
The second group includes packaged, small-piece and packaging cargo with a mass of not more than 50 kg. The third group is made up of a variety of bulk building materials, and the fourth is a variety of binders for construction..
Various types of construction materials require compliance with their transportation requirements. Thus, the transportation of bricks occupies a special place among the transportation of other goods. In most cases, bricks are transported in packages (on pallets or without them), much less often in special containers. In the case of transportation of bricks in packages, they are laid in the form of a «herringbone» and with cross-dressing..
Timber and timber with a length of more than 6 meters are long-length cargo, therefore, elongated platforms, dismantling trailers and sliding semitrailers are used for their transportation. Such materials are stacked on special timber bunks with linking chains located on top..
To unload timber, the dump unloading method is used, or for these purposes, external mechanized means, such as manipulators, can be used, which can significantly reduce the cost of loading and unloading operations. Timber and timber can be transported in packaged way or transported in bulk.
