estate businessman requires these equipments for developing their locations
and to construct building. Many businessmen use these equipment in their
industry for different purpose such as lifting and carrying. In mines machines
are used to transport ores, their loading and digging of the ores. They are used
to dig channels for pipe line, in building construction and road development.

equipment. Construction equipments are commercial vehicles. Their
implement and uses are different. Their users are limited; approaching to the
potential buyer is a difficult task. Dealing in construction equipments requires
look over at all development activities because from there we can get enquires
of potential buyers.
