by Pradeep J. Pradeep J
Everyone is looking for a better and faster way to get jobs done, especially in the today’s construction world. A compact hydraulic excavator or a mini excavator as it is more commonly referred to as a tracked or wheeled construction related machine. These machines are not only extremely versatile they can do almost any job around the construction site excavators have an articulated arm, a bucket and a cab mounted on a rotating platform known as a pivot. This platform is on top of an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. The design is basically derived from steam shovels. There are various types of excavators suitable for different loads, weight limits and industry.
Excavator compact size make them popularly used equipment on a construction sites, as they are able to reach into those hard-to-reach places that the larger excavators cannot. Therefore, there is mini excavator to get the job done on those places.
Also known as Diggers, Excavators play a key role in urbanization of the landscape by helping lay a firm foundation of construction. The JCB range of Diggers incorporates a wide array of large, mid and mini excavators suitable for numerous applications spanning across different industries like roads, mining, infrastructure, railways, urban infrastructure and real estate etc.
Most of these excavators have three major components to them - the house/booth, undercarriage and the attachment itself (which can vary or be changed depending on the required function). All movements and functions of this machine are controlled through the transfer of hydraulic liquid.
Excavators are engineering vehicles which are primarily used for the purpose of digging trenches, holes or foundations. They are also used for other purposes such as demolition, lifting and placing heavy materials especially pipes, for mining( not open pit mining), river dredging, landscaping. These can be used for brush cuttings aided with hydraulic attachments.
Being the most popular equipment in the construction industry, excavators have successfully aided in reducing the involvement of human effort in heavy construction work.
