In the heavy machinery sector, there are several companies that focus their efforts on designing specialized vehicles to carry out construction works, such as, for example, modeling the terrain profile, transporting materials, shaping land and many other jobs. These tasks are essential to be able to develop public, industrial, mining and architectural infrastructure projects.
