Road building equipment includes heavy machinery such as motor graders, asphalt mixing plants, crawler excavators, road rollers, forklifts, wheel loaders and truck cranes. These heavy machineries are some of the common types of road building equipment. However, equipment that is used for road construction differs according to the road project which may involve construction of a new road, or road re-carpeting or minor road repairs.

The motor grader or road grader is used to create a flat surface on which asphalt is placed. The asphalt plant is used to produce asphalt concrete by combining mineral aggregates, sand and a filler. The asphalt mixing plant then keeps the mixture heated to avoid setting before the mixture is laid down. A road roller is used to press down the asphalt concrete after it has been laid down. The type of road roller machine is decided by the type of mixture that is used for the construction of the road.

Crawler excavators are sued to remove earth and rocks from the construction site and load them onto dump trucks and a wheel loader, also known as a front loader, bucket loader or skip loader is used to move earth or rocks or other material from the ground and load them onto trucks. Some of the most popular locations in Dubai to get in touch with companies that rent or manufacture road building equipment are Al Quoz Industrial area, Damascus Street in Al Qusais, and Salah Al Din Road in Deira in Dubai.
