What We Offer

For all construction and mining works, excavators are essential earthmoving vehicles. They are one of the many heavy construction tools with several components that aid in digging and lifting serious amounts of soil or waste materials which are important operations in mining and construction.

Excavators are so indispensable that they have surprisingly become the image representing constructions. They are handy and always within reach as long as there is something to be dug, moved, demolished and so on. There are different types that carry fantastic components and sizes, all of which makes the execution of heavy works seamless.

Below is a carefully outlined list of these components which would guide and inform your purchase. In cases of rent, it is crucial to choose the correct excavator with the right size to execute the job at hand.

Some Important Components of an Excavator

For every well-functioning excavator, there are three main components. The drive system, also known as the undercarriage, there is the house; and the excavating arm. For all these three components, some sub-components gives the excavator its functionality.

  • Excavator Undercarriage – This is the area where the mobility of the excavator is controlled. It involves the interconnection of every area to ensure the movement of the excavator. These areas include tracks, pads and drives; sprockets and idlers; slew ring swing gear and bearing.

  • Excavator House – This is a command centre that rotates 360 degrees to give the excavator maximum efficiency without any restrictions. It sits on a revolvable platform that connects every component of the excavator. This hub houses the controls, the pumps, the engine and so on.

  • Excavator Arm – This is the components that puts the machine to work. It is a carefully engineered invention which gives the excavator its functionality. It includes the boom, the stick, tree bucket and so on, depending on the excavator type.

  • As earlier mentioned, there are different types of excavators with other uses. They indeed carry out multiple functions, but that does not rip them off their primary function. Below is a comprehensive list of these excavators.

Different Types Of Excavators

Although there are Cable and Hydraulic excavators, but there are more hydraulic excavators than cable excavators. A cable excavator uses steel wires to move the machine, while hydraulic excavators, on the other hand, allow the driver to control the machine like the ones listed below.

  • Wheeled Excavators
  • Crawling Excavators
  • Long-reach Excavators
  • Suction Excavators
  • Dragline Excavators
  • Backhoe Excavators
  • Skid steer Excavators

All these excavators mentioned above perform tasks like underwater projects, trench digging, pile driving, debris cleanup, landscape grading and so on. They accommodate series of attachments and are very strong and reliable, and can perform at the highest level. Some popular manufacturers of excavators include Volvo, Caterpillar, Komatsu, John Deere and so on.
