Excavators are also called diggers, mechanical shovels, or 360-degree excavators (sometimes abbreviated simply to "360"). Tracked excavators are sometimes called "trackhoes" by analogy to the backhoe. Choose an excavator with the ideal combination of horsepower, dig depth, arm configuration and tail swing style for your work. Add specialized attachments that do more than dig, and maximize productivity on every project you can take on, no matter how big or small.
