Our Construction Machinery Selection at vanvliet.com

Looking for construction machinery? You’ve come to the right place. We have a wide selection of new machines available. Below is an overview of some of the most popular types. Click on the links to find detailed information about each machine category.

Shovels / Wheel Loaders

Shovels, also known as wheel loaders or loaders, are designed to move large amounts of sand, soil, gravel, stones or debris using a hydraulic bucket mounted at the front. They can be controlled in several ways, including full steering, joystick steering or half steering. Our inventory mainly includes shovels from JCB and Caterpillar.

Bulldozers

Bulldozers, or dozers, are used to push large volumes of sand or soil. Unlike shovels, which scoop materials into a bucket, bulldozers push material to level the ground or build it up, making them ideal for applications like reinforcing dikes. Equipped with a rear ripper, they can break up hard soil. Caterpillar is the predominant brand we carry.

Rollers / Compactors

Rollers (also called rollers or compactors) are used to smooth and compact surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, clay, gravel, sand, and soil. You can choose between a rubber-tired roller or a vibratory roller with steel drums. Popular brands include Bomag, Caterpillar and Ammann.

Dumpers

Dumpers are perfect for transporting large volumes of debris over short distances. Articulated dump trucks (ADTs) are commonly used for rough terrain, while rigid dumpers are best suited for mining environments and operate on flat or quarry surfaces. Brands like Dynapac, Caterpillar and Komatsu are well represented.

Cranes

For working at height, cranes are essential. Rough terrain cranes and all-terrain cranes provide robust lifting capabilities for demanding jobs. Terex and Liebherr are popular in this segment. For lower elevation tasks, aerial work platforms and telehandlers are widely used, with Caterpillar, JCB and Manitou being the top brands.

Agricultural Machinery

Besides construction equipment, Van Vliet Automotive also stocks a wide range of agricultural machinery. This includes new tractors and various farming implements. We offer machines from well-known agricultural brands such as John Deere, Fendt, Claas, Same and Zetor.

Excavators

The excavator category covers a broad spectrum of machines. Differences in brand, size, capacity, and function are significant. Whether you need a small, large, hydraulic, electric or mobile excavator, vanvliet.com has all types available.
