About Excavator
How much can the largest excavators weigh?
The world's largest excavators can weigh over 800 tons, which is equivalent to about 160 elephants! These massive mining excavators are so big that their buckets alone can hold a small car.
What different attachments can excavators use?
Excavators can swap their buckets for dozens of different tools including hammers for breaking concrete, grapples for grabbing materials, augers for drilling holes, and even flamethrowers for melting ice!
How deep can an excavator dig?
Most standard excavators can dig 15 to 25 feet deep, but specialized long-reach excavators can dig over 100 feet down. That's deeper than a 10-story building is tall!
Why do excavators have tracks instead of wheels?
Tracks distribute the excavator's enormous weight over a larger surface area, preventing them from sinking into soft ground. Tracks also provide better traction and stability on uneven terrain than wheels would.
How fast can excavators move?
Most excavators travel at only 3 to 6 miles per hour on their tracks. They're built for power and precision, not speed. However, wheeled excavators used on roads can reach 25 mph.
What powers an excavator's movement?
Excavators use hydraulic systems powered by diesel engines. Pressurized hydraulic fluid flows through cylinders and motors to create the incredible force needed to lift tons of material with precise control.
