Excavators, Backhoe Loaders, and Wheel Loaders are all considered types of construction site equipment, or "construction machinery" as they refer to the types of machinery utilized during construction project development. While they share similar characteristics, there are many differences in how they operate and the applications for which they were designed.
A variety of high-performance engines provide energy to the construction site equipment with the use of advanced hydraulic systems. By using the high-performance engine and hydraulic system together, the construction site equipment can achieve high-level performance and precision control on the job site.
Construction site operators typically operate the construction site equipment from a cabin that is designed to minimize fatigue and fail-safe capabilities. The cabin design maximizes operator comfort, visibility, and capability of the operator, thereby reducing operator fatigue during long periods of work. Some construction site equipment has the capability of utilizing interchangeable attachments that allow for easy changeover of tools according to the specific task or environment in which they are used.
