Industrial Vehicles and Machines
Industrial vehicles go by several names: mobile working machines (MWM), mobile hydraulics, off-road vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, and off-highway equipment. What they have in common is that they are found in harsh working conditions, subject to dust, precipitation, vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures. Safe and efficient operations call for accurate measuring instruments that are as tough as the industrial vehicles themselves.
Examples of Industrial Vehicles
Industrial vehicles and machines are found in many sectors:
- Construction: loaders, excavators, dozers, dump trucks, motor graders, skid steers, pipe layers, compactors, pavers
- Agriculture: tractors, harvesters, planters, combines, sprayers
- Forestry: harvesters, forwarders, loaders, skidders, feller bunchers
- Material handling: forklifts, telehandlers, scissor lifts, boom lifts, mobile cranes, crawler cranes
- Mining: drilling machines, haul trucks, excavators, power shovels, draglines
- Municipal: street sweepers, garbage trucks, fire trucks, utility trucks
- Military: armored personnel carriers, utility vehicles
