What Excavator Is Best For Your Project?

Once you've secured a new building project, you'll need to acquire the equipment necessary for the job. An excavator is a critical piece of equipment for any construction job. However, with so many options available, choosing the correct excavator for your project can be a challenge. Keep reading for our helpful tips on how to choose the perfect excavator for your project.

When choosing an excavator, it's crucial you ensure the equipment effectively matches the work you're doing. Examine the excavators testing options and hydraulics, and make sure it offers enough power to do the job you need it for, whether that's clearing earth, debris cleanup or industrial demolition.
 
It's also important you consider the scope of work your excavator will perform, and that's where support factors in. Support configurations such as zero house swing or zero tail swing ensure your excavator will be able to work in tight spaces or near obstacles, and to move quickly with a decreased likelihood of a collision. 

When you're choosing an excavator, consider the requirements and hazards present on your site. Some excavators tend to perform better on larger, flatter spaces.
 
It's also important to think about the jobs you'll perform on-site, as you'll need an excavator that can match your requirements. Take into account the power and strength of the engine, the weight of the excavator, the attachments and features, and the bucket capacity and type the excavator supports.

Size is crucial when selecting an excavator. A mini or compact excavator is perfect for smaller jobs or areas with tighter space. Standard excavators are the most versatile and operate well in almost all construction environments, while heavy excavators are most often used on larger-scale projects, and require trailer transport between sites.

Comfort is so important, and many excavators now feature ergonomic, adjustable chairs and controls, heating and air conditioning, and factor in ample room and easy access to all features.
