CPV 432 – Earthmoving Machinery and Parts

What does CPV 432 cover?

CPV Group 432 covers earthmoving machinery and its component parts, procured by public contracting authorities, public works departments and infrastructure operators. This includes tracked and wheeled excavators, bulldozers and dozers, wheeled loaders and compact loaders, motor graders, articulated and rigid dump trucks, scraper vehicles, and all associated attachments and wear parts. The group is one of the most frequently used within Division 43, reflecting the central role of earthmoving machinery in public infrastructure construction and maintenance.

Excavators and wheeled loaders represent the highest-volume categories. Municipal public works departments and state highway maintenance depots maintain fleets of excavators for road works, drainage maintenance, canal cleaning and general civil engineering support. New construction projects – roads, railways, flood protection embankments, water treatment plants – require substantial earthmoving operations. Fleet renewals and attachments procurement generate regular tendering activity even outside major construction programmes.

The EU Stage V emissions standard under Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 applies to non-road mobile machinery and is mandatory for new equipment. All earthmoving machinery must carry CE marking and comply with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, and outdoor noise levels must conform to Directive 2000/14/EC. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
