Great Ways to Use an Excavator

When it comes to performing heavy-duty tasks, few pieces of equipment are as hardy and versatile as an excavator. These rugged machines are seen on both road and building construction sites, but they’re also used in industries such as forestry, logging, and mining. Residential homeowners may even get small excavators to help them with construction around their property. Here are just a couple of the many ways you can use an excavator.

Making Foundations

Excavators are great for digging foundations of any size and shape. If you need to carve out a foundation for a swimming pool, parking lot, building, or house, then an excavator will do the trick. These machines can quickly clear dirt and mud away from a worksite so that you can begin construction sooner. 

Clearing Land

If you’ve got a lot of overgrowth and dead vegetation or even scrap and debris in your way, your excavator will come in handy. You can use your excavator to clean up your property or piece of land for future use. The bucket can handle a lot of loose material at a time, so you can deposit it easily into a dumpster or dump truck.

Digging Holes

You can also use an excavator for smaller projects that require much smaller holes, with an auger attachment. Dig out perfect round holes for fence posts, mailboxes, signs, and other projects.
