Excavators are heavy-duty construction machines that are mostly used for digging holes, trenches, and structural foundations. They’re also used for forestry projects, handling materials, demolition projects, mining, driving piles, drilling shafts, landscaping projects, and much more.
The operator sits inside of a rotating platform called “the house.” It is the base of the unit where the controls and switches are located. Attached to the house are the bucket, arm, and boom. The bucket is at the end of the arm, and it’s the part that actually scoops up materials from the ground.
Underneath the house is a continuous band of track plates, with 2 to 3 wheels driving the tracks on the ground. The tracks allow the excavator to move over uneven terrain surfaces, especially rocky terrain, without any hassle. Since excavators are often used on construction sites, they need tracks to navigate their way throughout the rocky sites easily.
Tracked excavators are not machines you’ll typically use every day, especially if you just need them for a one-time project. That is why it would be a better investment for you to hire a tracked excavator during the times when you need one only. You can save a lot more money while getting the results that you want.
