Common questions
Which is better for road work?
A wheeled excavator can reposition on its own wheels and is often preferred where sites are spread out. A crawler is more stable on soft ground but usually needs a low-loader between sites.
Which is better on soft or uneven ground?
A crawler generally has lower ground pressure and better traction on soft ground. A wheeled machine is happier on firm surfaces and prepared roads.
Can a wheeled excavator do heavy digging?
It can do serious work in its weight class, but stability and lifting limits depend on outriggers, blade and attachments. Match the machine to the job, not just the tonnage.
