Choose The Right Excavator

1. Hydraulic Excavator - Types & Uses Excavators are an essential piece of heavy equipment for most construction projects. With a bucket, arm, rotating cab, and movable tracks conglomerated into one, they have superior digging power mobility and perform a variety of earthmoving projects like material handling, landscaping, demolition, mining projects, river dredging, and construction. Available in a variety of sizes and attachments, an excavator can help complete big construction projects and small backyard renovations, more quickly and efficiently. Hydraulic excavators are more popular as they allow the driver to use levers to control the movement of the hydraulic fluid to push and move the cylinders that control the boom and bucket of an excavator. To choose the right kind of excavator ,one must know what kind of role the excavator will play on site. It is more efficient for a job to rent the right size equipment for what is needed instead of trying to make one piece fit for a variety of jobs. Hydraulic Excavator Types Crawler Excavators: Crawler excavators are used for mining purposes, trench digging, and landscape grading and they appear a little bit different from excavators that run on wheels. This excavator looks similar to tracked tanks that are used in the army and they run on large two endless tracks. The chain wheel system of this compact excavator provides greater balance, flexibility, and stability, but it reduces speed.

2. Dragline Excavators: The dragline excavator used for underwater options, road excavation, and piledriving has a key feature of a unique hoist rope and dragline system. Unlike the normal excavators, this excavator uses a hoist rope system where the bucket is attached via a hoist coupler. For raising and lowering the bucket hoist rope is used and to pull the bucket toward the driver it uses the dragline. Mostly, these excavators are assembled on-site because of their larger size and weight. Suction Excavators: The suction excavator also known as a vacuum excavator is used for underground applications, delicate digging projects, and debris cleanup from holes or land. This wheeled vehicle with a high-pressure vacuum and water jets has sharp teeth at the edge that creates a vacuum and takes away soil or other debris. The construction of a suction excavator is similar to that of a vacuum truck except for the width of the suction hose. Skid Steer Excavators: The four-wheel skid steer excavator is a compact, rigid- frame, engine-powered machine that can be used in residential projects, and for removing spread out or piled up debris. The bucket is oriented away from the driver and this type of excavator is suitable for space-limited sites requiring maneuvering tricky turns. Long Reach Excavators: The long-reach excavator has a 40–100 feet extendable arm that simplifies the industrial demolition and heavy-duty digging projects. The design features enable it to be used in hard-to-reach locations. By affixing certain attachments to the arm, this excavator can also perform many other operations like cutting and crushing.
