What's an Excavator?

An excavator is a piece of machinery designed to excavate, which in simple terms means to make a hole in the ground. It's also often called a digger or a backhoe. It's built with a long boom arm connected to a stick that holds its bucket. The driver sits inside a cab that is mounted on a pivot and is able to turn around in an impressive range. Some cabs can turn around a full 360 degrees.

When you look at excavators for sale, you will notice that there is a range of options. Some are built for bigger jobs, such as cutting away brush or open-pit mining. Others, like mini excavators, are much smaller so that they can be more agile on the job site. These are better suited for tasks such as trenching.

While you look at options, you'll also see that there are many types of buckets. Some include general use, heavy-duty, and sorting buckets. The bucket itself can also be replaced with another attachment, such as augers or breaks, to give you more versatility.
