Heavy Equipment for Construction

Excavators are large construction equipment that can be driven by tracks or wheels, but tracks are more standard. A conventional excavator has a long bucket arm attached to a pivoting cab that can rotate a full 360 degrees. The operator sits in the cab and from there has good visibility of the site. Excavators are highly versatile and can be fitted with special attachments for specialty jobs. The most common uses for an excavator include:



Material handling

Excavating trenches, holes, and foundations

Brush cutting with hydraulic attachments

Demolition

Rough grading

Heavy lifting and pipe installation

Mining

River dredging
