Description / Abstract:
This standard identifies earthmoving machines which are intended for
use on unimproved surfaces.
The machines are used for moving earth and other materials on projects
such as road building, dams,
open pit excavation, trenching, and buildings. Excluded are machines
intended for use on improved
surfaces such as "in-plant" material handling, highways, water, air
transport, and for agricultural
purposes.
The parts of the standard are: loaders, dumpers, tractor-scrapers,
graders, tractors, excavators,
and backhoe loaders. Additional parts will be developed if and when
requested.
