Abstract This paper focuses on the application of virtual prototyping techniques on the simulation design of elevator, tower crane and vibrationimpact rammer. In addition, some problems requiring attentions and suggestions, during the process of developing and designing construction machines in small or medium enterprises by exploiting virtual prototyping techniques, are presented.
