An excavator is an example of what is termed heavy construction equipment. They are large and weighty vehicles which move on tank treads rather than tires. There is one long bucket arm on a traditional excavator, and the buckets on an excavator are frequently quite big and wide. The arm is attached to a pivoting cab, in which the operator sits. This cab can rotate a full 360 degrees, giving the operator of the excavator the benefit of being able to park the large vehicle in one spot and work the surrounding area from one convenient point.
Excavators are mainly used for digging substantial amounts of dirt quickly, but are sometimes also used for heavy lifting and large pipe placement.
