Excavators

An excavator is a large, diesel-powered construction vehicle designed to dig with a bucket to create trenches, holes, and foundations. It is also used for various lifting and carrying tasks in many applications.

There are three main component groups in hydraulic excavators:

1. the undercarriage with tracks or wheels;
2. the house containing the engine, hydraulic pumps, counterbalance, and control unit;
3. the excavating arm of the machine.

The rotating platform of an excavator can rotate 360 degrees. The operator sits within a small cab connected to the base and controls the articulated arm with a bucket attached to the end. The excavator can complete a broader range of jobs by swapping out the bucket for an auger, drill, ripper, or rake. The difference in size allows them to be used in big construction projects and small backyard renovations.
