Ans.

Yes, you can compare excavators from different/same brands. Our comparison tool allows you to select excavators from various brands and see detailed specifications side by side.

7. What types of excavators are there?

Ans.

There are various types of excavators, including standard crawler excavators, wheeled excavators, mini (compact) excavators, and long-reach excavators. Each type is designed for specific applications or work environments.

8. What is an excavator used for?

Ans.

Excavators are heavy construction equipment used for digging, grading, lifting, and moving materials. They are employed in most constructions, demolitions, mining operations, and landscaped works.

9. How do excavators work?

Ans.

Excavators work through the hydraulic system. Its rotating upper part, or the house, has the engine and controls, with a boom, stick, and bucket to scoop up materials during digging or for lifting purposes. The operator can manipulate these to dig trenches, move huge loads, and many others.

10. What is the difference between an excavator and a backhoe?

Ans.

Their main difference is based on design and purpose. An excavator is big, with the rotating upper structure, and is especially used in digging and lifting. A backhoe is smaller, has a fixed cab, and is more flexible for smaller tasks with digging and loading in smaller confinement areas.
