Earthmoving construction: Caterpillar 9506 front end loader picks up and loads Western Star truck trailer with large stones from excavation for building extension. In background is vibratory pile driver and its power station. University of Michigan dormitory project, Ann Arbor, Michigan, December 2006
Komatsu PC200LC excavator/backhoe moves earth from one location to another closer to building. From pile created by the Komatsu machine, unloading here, Caterpillar excavator/backhoe picks up earth, as here, to place in final position near building. In background, Gradall 555 D10 all-wheel drive rear wheel steer articulated all-terrain hydraulic telescoping boom forklift delivers lumber to a building window, from which workers unload and perform renovation.

Komatsu PC200LC excavator/backhoe moves earth from one location to another closer to building. From pile created by the Komatsu machine, Caterpillar excavator/backhoe moves earth to final position near building. This is particularly evident in top left photo, where Komatsu is dumping where Cat is getting ready to load.

Soil, earth construction: Caterpillar 613C elevating/self-loading scraper, 11 CY capacity, 175 hp, is moving earth to level land to a more even grade for construction of condominiums. Scraper is making a loading pass, with its bowl cutting edge lowered to scrape up earth and elevating paddle buckets rotating to pick up soil against bowl edge and elevate it to fall into the bowl. Ann Arbor, Michigan 2006.
Earthmoving, underground, foundation construction: Horizontal, large diameter steel tubes/pipes are cross-lot braces that support side walls of excavation. The bracing system gets its name from bracing across the building lot, from one side to the other. Note that the bracing against the far wall is at both top and bottom of excavation.

Soil, earth construction: Caterpillar 613C elevating/self-loading scraper, 11 CY capacity, 175 hp, is moving earth to level land to a more even grade for construction of condominiums. Scraper is making a loading pass, with its bowl edge lowered to scrape up earth and paddle buckets rotating to pick up soil against bowl edge and elevate it to fall into the bowl. This is close upview of lower end of the chain and paddle elevating conveyor. We see four paddles, as they are lowered and rotated to pick up soil against the edge of bowl. The forward side of the elevating conveyor moves downward with paddle buckets pointing downward, and the rear side moves upward with the paddles pointing upward, holding excavated soil that they dump in bowl as they turn over at the top.
