Unlike other large excavators that run on wheels, crawlers run on two large endless tracks and are optimal for mining and heavy-duty construction jobs. Also known as compact excavators, these excavators use hydraulic power mechanisms to lift heavy debris and soil. Their chain wheel system allows them to slide down and scale hills with less risk, ma...
Wheeled excavators are similar in size and appearance to crawlers but run on wheels instead of tracks. Replacing tracks with wheels makes them faster and easier to maneuver on concrete, asphalt and other flat surfaces while still offering the same power capabilities. Because wheels offer less stability on uneven ground than tracks, wheeled excavato...
The dragline excavator is a larger excavator that operates with a different process. The equipment utilizes a hoist rope system that attaches to a bucket via a hoist coupler. The other side of the bucket is affixed to a dragline that runs from the bucket to the cab. The hoist rope raises and lowers the bucket while the dragline pulls the bucket tow...
Also known as vacuum excavators, suction excavators feature a suction pipe capable of providing up to 400 horsepower. The excavator first releases a water jet to loosen the ground. The pipe, which contains sharp teeth at the edge, then creates a vacuum that carries away soil and debris up to 200 miles per hour. A suction excavator is ideal for deli...
Unlike standard excavators, skid steers have booms and buckets that face away from the driver. This orientation allows the attachments to reach over the cab instead of around it, making these excavators useful in more narrow areas and maneuvering tricky turns. They are often used for digging pools, site cleaning, residential work and debris removal...
As its name suggests, a long reach excavator features a lengthier arm and boom sections. The design allows for better operation in hard-to-reach locations. The excavator’s extendable arm can reach over 100 feet horizontally. These excavators are best used for demolition projects like structural crumbling and breaking down walls over bodies of water...
In recent years, more contractors are using mini excavators, a smaller and lighter version of the standard excavator capable of minimizing ground damage and fitting through crowded, narrow sites like parking lots and indoor spaces. Also known as compact excavators, mini excavators typically incorporate reduced tail-swing or zero tail-swing to maneu...
An excavator’s design allows it to serve many versatile purposes. Hydraulic cylinders, booms, arms and attachments provide digging and holding functionalities, while a house-like cab provides the driver with controls to direct the excavator. A rotating platform and wheels provide the necessary mobility to lift and remove debris from the worksite. E...
Backhoes, also known as diggers, are a common fixture on construction sites but are often confused with excavators. While they share similar digging and lifting capabilities, backhoes and excavatorsdiffer in size, weight and functionality. Excavators are generally large equipment weighing up to 200,000 pounds. Their bucket and boom designallow them...

Post Hole Diggers. A good pick for land owners, landscapers, hobby farmers, or contractors. The SA20 Post Hole Digger digs holes from 9” to 36” in diameter and up to 48” deeper with available extensions. Base Weight: 46 lbs.
Discover compact (mini) excavators, construction-class (mid-size) excavators, and production-class (large) excavators for all your excavating needs.
Excavators are heavy construction equipment primarily consisting of a boom, dipper (or stick), bucket and cab on a rotating platform known as the "house" [1] - although the largest form ever, the dragline excavator, eliminated the dipper in favor of a line and winch .
