What is an Excavator?

An excavator, whether wheeled or tracked, is heavy construction equipment used for digging, trenching, and material handling. It consists of a boom, dipper (or stick), bucket and cab mounted on a rotating platform called the “house”. Excavators are used for various construction, demolition and landscape projects, with great digging depth and attachment capabilities.

Types of Excavators

Excavators come in different sizes and configurations, each for a specific task. The choice between tracked and wheeled excavators is the main consideration. Compact excavators are for smaller projects and confined spaces. Other types are long-reach excavators for deeper digging and demolition excavators with specialized attachments.

Importance in Construction

Excavators play a big role in modern construction, making things more efficient and reducing manual labor. They can handle a wide range of tasks from site preparation and excavation to demolition and material handling. Without wheeled or tracked excavators, many construction projects would not be possible to finish on time and budget.
