Construction Equipment Engineering Company.Building Information Modeling (BIM) is sweeping the
construction industry. It refers to the process of creating
digital representations of buildings you haven’t even
started pouring cement for yet. This creation allows
visualising a building before you start spending money
and commit to a schedule that may end up proving
unrealistic. Modular construction has become a big
trend in construction. The technology has come a
long way, to the point that you’ve probably passed
by many of them and haven’t noticed any difference
from traditionally built buildings. “Work can be carried
out in time, faster and more efficiently, as such access
equipment being propelled allow the operators to
move the machine and reposition them by operating
from the platform controls, thus saving vital time,” says
Souma Ray, Director, Haulotte India Pvt Ltd.When any construction is commenced a timeline to
finish the project is formed which acts as a benchmark
for all the companies involved in the project but if one
looks at the data of these timelines and the actual
construction the main divulgence appears to take place
at the finishing stages of the project. “There are many
reasons for this but one of the reasons is that access
equipment are not utilised or the teams that are part
of the project have not been educated about automatic
access equipment and how it helps speed up the process
while also saving costs,” says Sunil Malhotra, Managing

While choosing the access equipment, it is important
to take into consideration the organisation and its
infrastructure support in terms of maintenance and
training to assist during the period of the project.
“Choosing the appropriate equipment according to the
scope of the project is of utmost importance as it helps
in adhering to the timelines set for the project. For
example, if the terrain is rough, one would need rugged
access equipment with the correct skill set of people
operating it. Being a critical factor, height should be
considered while selecting the access equipment.
In addition to height, reach is also as important as
sometimes he/she would require a ‘boom’ in order to
do the job,” said Lingayat.There are variants of access equipment depending on
requirements. To take one such as aerial work platforms
(AWPs) are defined by height and application of use.
Based on these parameters the suitable variant is
chosen and offered. “We strongly believe in doing theAccess equipment are not utilised
