Imashini izunguruka ni ubwoko bwibikoresho bikoresha imizingo y'akazi kugirango yuname kandi agire ibikoresho by'urupapuro. Irashobora kuzunguza ibyapa mubyuma, arc hamwe nibikorwa bya conique mubikorwa runaka. Nibikoresho byingenzi byo gutunganya. Ihame ryakazi ryimashini izunguruka isahani ni ukwimura umuzingo wakazi binyuze mubikorwa byimbaraga ziva hanze nkumuvuduko wa hydraulic nimbaraga za mashini, kuburyo isahani yunamye cyangwa ikazunguruka muburyo.
Imashini izunguruka ifite porogaramu zitandukanye, kandi irashobora gukoreshwa mubikorwa byo gukora imashini nkubwato, peteroli, amavuta, amashanyarazi, amashanyarazi, imiyoboro y’umuvuduko, imiti, gukora impapuro, moteri n’ibikoresho by’amashanyarazi, no gutunganya ibiryo.
