FAQ
How do I choose the right excavator size for my job?
Excavator size depends on access, ground conditions and the scope of work. Smaller machines suit tight spaces and detailed tasks, while larger excavators handle bulk earthworks, deeper digs and heavier materials more efficiently.
What jobs are excavators commonly used for?
Excavators are used for trenching, footing preparation, site cuts, drainage work, bulk excavation and material handling. They’re common across residential, civil and industrial projects where digging accuracy and lifting capability are required.
Are excavators available with attachments?
Yes. Excavators are often compatible with attachments such as rock breakers, augers and grabs. Using attachments allows one machine to perform multiple tasks, improving efficiency and reducing the need for additional equipment on site.
Can excavators be used for both detailed and bulk work?
Yes. Smaller excavators are well suited to detailed tasks like trenching and service installation, while larger machines handle bulk excavation and site cuts. Using the right size allows work to progress efficiently without overworking the machine or limiting productivity.
How do ground conditions affect excavator choice?
Ground conditions play a big role in excavator selection. Softer or uneven ground may require wider tracks or heavier machines for stability, while compact sites often suit lighter excavators that reduce ground disturbance and improve manoeuvrability.
