What is Excavator?

An excavator is a heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, dipper (or stick), bucket and cab on a rotating platform known as a "house". The house sits atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. Excavators are used for digging trenches, holes, foundations, material handling, demolition, general grading/landscaping, and heavy lifting.
