Trackhoes & Excavators for SaleBuy and sell used and unused Excavators at IronPlanet.Excavators, also known as trackhoes, stand as indispensable assets in the construction and aggregate industry, renowned for their multifaceted applications. The primary function of an excavator is earthmoving; this is achieved through its precision-engineered bucket, equipped with robust teeth designed for optimal penetration and trenching of diverse terrains including cohesive soils and other granular sediments These heavy-duty machines predominantly operate on diesel powertrains, though advancements in hybrid and electric technologies are emerging. The market offers a spectrum of sizes, each with specific lift capacities, dictated by factors such as breakout force and hydraulic flow rate. Notably, the various subclasses of excavators, from compact (or mini) excavators to the larger crawler variants, operate on a similar fundamental mechanism: a hydraulic actuation system comprised of the boom, stick (or dipper arm), and the pivotal bucket. What are excavators used for?Beyond the rudimentary tasks of trenching and excavation, excavators play a pivotal role in material handling, facilitating the efficient transfer of excavated substrates to other machinery, be it belt conveyors for processing or articulated dump trucks for off-site disposal. The versatility of these machines is further enhanced by the availability of specialized attachments. These can transform an excavator into a formidable tool for tasks like rock breaking, pile driving, or even precise demolition activities where structures from previous edifices need to be meticulously dismantled.
