The market is flooded with various types of earthmoving equipment, and you might want to know the applications and features of each of them in case you are considering to buy any kind of earthmoving equipment for your business. The main types of earthmoving equipment available with the heavy duty dealers are:
- Excavators: The excavators can be used on wheels or on trades. You can easily identify an excavator based on its long bucket arm that is attached to the pivoting cab. They are also called shovels, JCB, or 360 degree excavators. They can be used for shovelling dirt, digging holes and trenches, material handling and much more.
- Backhoe Loaders: The backhoe loaders are mounted on tires. They are designed to be easily used at suburban areas. They are quite similar to tractors, but they have a shovel in front that can be adjusted and a bucket at the rear that is used for digging. The backhoe bucket can be replaced with powered attachments like breaker, grapple, auger, or a stump grinder.
- Bulldozers: Bulldozers the best choice for shifting large amounts of load. They are used on sites where there is large open space. Their tracks allow them to gain mobility in the roughest terrains. Bulldozers are often used in road building, construction, mining, forestry, land clearing, infrastructure development, and any other projects requiring highly mobile, powerful, and stable earthmoving equipment.
- Skid Steer Loaders: This can be used in constricted spaces because of its size. This is an equipment that can be operated easily as it is on wheels and has a very tight turning range. They help lower soil compaction and work well in difficult conditions such as mud and snow.
- Trenchers: Trenchers are used at places where trenches need to be dug for laying down pipes under the ground. Trenchers are highly versatile and they use alternating digging options based on the requirement of the job.
