What kind of excavator should you choose

Introduction 

The best excavator is the one that meets your needs. In this article, we'll go over what kind of excavator you should use if you're a contractor or homeowner. 

Mini Excavators 

Mini excavators are the most popular type of excavator. They can be used in a wide range of applications, including earthmoving, demolition, construction, landscaping and more. Most mini excavators are available with 2- to 5-ton capacities. 

Mini excavators are used for small projects that require a compact machine. These machines can be powerful enough to handle the most difficult conditions, but they are also lightweight and easy to transport. A mini excavator may have a cab-mounted crane or bucket for loading materials into the machine, as well as a hydraulically adjustable boom arm that allows you to operate it from any angle. 

Mini excavators are good at digging in hard-packed soil because they're able to dig through even rocky or rooty ground with ease. They're also useful when working on tight spaces because their short wheelbase enables them to maneuver through spaces where larger models might struggle (like under an overhang). 

 Medium Excavators 

 Medium excavators are used for a wide range of tasks. They're used in construction, mining and land clearing, landscaping and demolition work. These machines can also be used to load material onto trucks or trains. In addition to their main usage as heavy equipment operators (HEOs), medium-sized excavators are also employed in recycling operations where they might be called upon to dig up old tires or other discarded materials from landfills so that these items can be processed into other products at waste treatment plants.

 Heavy excavators 

Heavy excavators are large machines that are used for mining, demolition and other heavy-duty construction projects. They can be used to dig, move and load large amounts of material.

Heavy excavators typically have the following features: 

• Large digging capacity (200-600 tons)

• Powerful engine (500 HP) 

The most common types of machines include: 

 Track-mounted crawler excavators (also called wheeled trucks) are used when moving large amounts of dirt or rock across uneven terrain such as mountains or beaches. These machines have low ground clearance and can be difficult to maneuver on steep slopes because they lack four-wheel drive capabilities, but they're ideal for digging shallow trenches or demolishing walls in construction projects where there isn't much room for error. 

Wheeled loaders feature heavy duty tracks that allow them to haul a large amount of material at once, which makes them an excellent choice if you need something with more power than what's offered by a standard shovel loader truck model.

Now that you know the different types of excavators, it's time to decide what kind is right for your project. If you're working on a mine site or construction site, a mini excavator may be all that's needed. If the job is especially large and needs to be done quickly, then a medium or heavy excavator would be more appropriate. 

Conclusion 

In summary, if you’re looking for an excavator that will handle your job sites, it is important to consider the type of excavation that needs to be done. If you are going to use it for heavy-duty construction or demolition, then a heavy duty excavator might be a better choice. If you want something smaller and lighter like an earthmover – which only weighs around 600kgs but can dig up earth as fast as 350m per hour – then this could work well depending on the size of your job site too!
