An excavator is a type of heavy construction equipment that consists of a boom, stick, bucket and cab on a rotating platform known as the ‘house’. The house sits on top of an undercarriage with either tracks or wheels. Excavators are widely used for a variety of purposes, such as the digging of trenches, holes and foundations; material handling; brush cutting with hydraulic attachments; forestry work; demolition work; general grading and landscaping; mining; river dredging; driving piles; drilling shafts for footings; and rock blasting.
We stock leading manufacturers such as Komatsu, Volvo, Caterpillar and Hitachi, ensuring that you get the best quality earthmoving equipment to get the job done right – every time.
