<h2 style="font-size: 24px;"><strong>What are excavators used for?</strong></h2>
<p>Excavators, often referred to as diggers, can be used for all kinds of construction, mining, landscaping, demolition,
	river dredging, and material handling projects.</p>
<p>Other excavator tasks can also be accomplished by using various hydraulic excavator attachments such as your
	traditional bucket that digs towards the cab and machine.</p>
<p>The rock and V bucket are two types of buckets that look like a digging bucket but with longer sharper teeth and a
	narrow V-shaped edge for cutting.</p>
<p>Excavators can also be fitted with a variety of <a href="/cp/excavator-attachments">attachements</a> like <a
		href="/cp/excavator-auger">auger attachments</a> for digging holes and trenches; breaker attachments to break
	into tougher surfaces like stone and concrete; <a href="/cp/excavator-grapple">grapple attachments</a> to easily
	pick up large materials like tree stumps
	and concrete that are too oversized for a bucket; and <a href="/cp/excavator-coupler">coupler attachments</a> that allow you to quickly switch between
	tools and attachments without needing a crew.</p>

<h2 style="font-size: 24px;"><strong>Types of Excavators</strong></h2>
<h3 style="font-size: 20px;">Tracked Excavators</h3>
<p>Often referred to as <a href="/cp/tracked-excavator">crawler excavators</a>, these heavy-duty machines excel in
	demanding terrain. Equipped with tracks,
	they offer superior traction and stability, making them ideal for large-scale projects like mining, construction,
	and demolition. Tracked excavators in the 70-ton range and above are particularly powerful and capable of handling
	the most challenging tasks.</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 20px;">Mini Excavators</h3>
<p>Compact and maneuverable, <a href="/cp/mini-excavator-6-6t">mini excavators</a> are perfect for tight spaces and
	smaller projects. They are commonly used
	in landscaping, trenching, and utility work. Their versatility and ease of operation make them popular choices for
	both residential and commercial applications.</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 20px;">Wheeled Excavators</h3>
<p>Also known as <a href="/cp/wheel-excavator">mobile excavators</a>, these machines offer greater mobility compared to
	tracked excavators. Equipped with
	rubber tires, they can easily navigate paved surfaces and are often used in urban environments for road
	construction, utility work, and demolition projects.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px;"><strong>What are good engine hours for a used excavator and how long do they last?</strong>
</h2>
<p> When considering the purchase of a used trackhoe, understanding what constitutes good mileage and how long the
	machine can last is crucial. Generally, a well-maintained excavator can offer reliable performance for around 8,000
	to 10,000 engine hours. This range can vary significantly based on the type of work the excavator was used for, with
	those primarily used in less demanding tasks often lasting longer. Regular maintenance and proper usage are key
	factors that contribute to an excavator's lifespan. For instance, an excavator used in heavy construction work might
	wear out faster than one used for light landscaping, but with diligent maintenance—including timely oil changes,
	component checks, and repairs—the lifespan can be significantly extended. Buyers should look for detailed
	maintenance records and consider the brand’s reputation for durability when evaluating a used excavator's mileage.
</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 20px;"><strong>Most reliable excavator brands</strong></h3>
<p>When it comes to the backbone of your construction or mining operation, reliability is paramount. That's why choosing
	the right excavator is crucial. Several brands consistently deliver exceptional durability and performance, making
	them top choices for businesses like yours.</p>

<p><strong>Caterpillar</strong> remains a gold standard in the industry. Renowned for their robust build, extensive
	dealer support network, and unparalleled parts availability, Caterpillar excavators offer longevity and minimal
	downtime. Models like the 320D and 336 have earned a stellar reputation for their reliability and power.</p>

<p><strong>Komatsu</strong> is another industry giant, celebrated for its advanced technology and fuel efficiency. Their
	excavators excel in various conditions, making them versatile assets. The PC210 and PC300 models are particularly
	sought after for their reliability and performance.</p>

<p><strong>Hitachi</strong> is known for producing high-performance excavators with innovative features. Their hydraulic
	systems are industry-leading, contributing to their machines' overall dependability. The ZX210 and ZX350 models are
	prime examples of Hitachi's commitment to quality and performance.</p>
