What is the excavator?

Excavator refers to the earth-moving machinery, digging material from where is higher or lower than bearing surface by the bucket, then deliver into a transport vehicle or unloaded upon the material pile. The material excavated is soil, coal, sand, and the pre-loose soil and rocks. In recent years, from the perspective of the development of construction machinery, excavators developed relatively faster, as one of the most important construction machinery, it is crucial to choose the excavator with the proper model. It has been 130 years history since the advent of the first hand excavator, during which they experienced the development process from the steam-driven rotary excavator bucket to the power-driven and internal combustion engine-driven rotary excavator, then automatic hydraulic excavator with application integration technology step by step. Due to the application of the hydraulic technology, in the 40s of 20th century, there was the tractor equipped with a suspended hydraulic backhoe excavator… Continue reading

What’s new in the mini excavator field?

manufacturers are concentrating their efforts on developing new machines and technologies in readiness for when business of mini excavator picks up. A range of mini excavators were unveiled at the Intermat Exhibition held in Paris earlier this year, including JCB’s new 6.5 tonne 8065 RTS tracked mini excavator.
