Did you know that there many types of excavators in the market? Here are some of the most popular ones:
Backhoe
They are the most popular and feature a wheeled or track base. They have a large bucket that faces the operator cab thus allowing you to scoop earth towards the excavator. Excavator electro lifting magnet
There are many sizes of these excavators and all you need to do is to buy the right one that fits your needs. For example, if you have a small construction project you should go for a small excavator.
The cool thing is that regardless of the size of excavator you buy, you will enjoy 360-degree swiveling motion that allows you to dig around the excavator.
Bucket Wheel
This one comes with a large front wheel that is equipped with buckets and built-in shovels. As the wheel rotates, the buckets scoop up dirt, rock and transfer it to a conveyor belt. The belt then carries earth into a bin. Excavator scrap handling magnets
Dragline
A dragline excavator features a design similar to that of a backhoe. It includes a series of cables and lines to support the pulling motion of the bucket. The design of the excavator allows you to dig deeper than the standard backhoe. The cables and long boom also helps you to operate the excavator over wet or unstable ground.
Suction
This excavator uses a large diameter hose to suck earth and rocks out of the ground using vacuum technology. Due to the technology, the excavator is ideal when you use it to dig around pipes and other underground objects.
Steam Shovel
They are the traditional excavators. Although, the modern ones operate using electric or diesel motor, the traditional ones operate using steam energy. Wheel washers
They have many features similar to those found in backhoe excavators. The only difference is that the bucket or shovel faces away from the excavator. This allows you to push dirt away from the excavator other than pulling earth towards the excavator as it’s the case with backhoes. The design of the excavator makes it ideal to work next to walls.
