Excavators are versatile construction machines used for digging, trenching, lifting, grading, and material handling on job sites. The Excavators category includes tracked and wheeled units in a range of sizes, from compact models for tight access work to large machines for heavy earthmoving. In the construction industry, excavators are commonly used for foundation work, utility installation, road building, demolition, site preparation, and landscaping. They are used by general contractors, excavation contractors, utility crews, civil construction firms, and equipment rental companies. Excavators are selected for projects that require reach, digging depth, hydraulic power, and efficient movement of soil, rock, debris, and other materials.
