Book Reviews of Construction Equipment Management

Book Review: Managing Your Equipment
Summary: 4 Stars

This text starts of with some accounting techniques that are very important. The book then goes into some simple calculations of spoil piles and conversion factors of spoil. The machines takes the last two-thirds of this book. While not getting into great detail about the machinery, it covers how to calculate how much to charge per cubic yard of mterial to use or machine hour. At the end of all chapters in this text there are several questions to answer to help you get right calculations. There are several examples in the chapter demonstrating how to fiigure the problems. The book covers graders, dozers, scrapers, cranes, lifting equipment, concrete, asphalt, loaders and dump trucks. If you are looking for great detail of machines this is not the book you are looking for. I felt that the machines could of had more detail to them but this is an overall very good buy. I recommend to all.
