An excavator only in name, the hydraulic excavator can truly astonish in terms of the sheer range of the machine. Used in a number of different activities the world over, the hydraulic excavator is arguably the most versatile of construction machines. It may be called an excavator but the uses of a hydraulic excavator, as it is properly called, can be as varied as applications in building of roads, laying pipelines, even digging out ores in mining and more. It’s highly versatile and useful and a skilled operator can use it even in relatively tight spots, giving the crew a hand where other machines may not be able to reach.
