INTRODUCTION
Excavating and Lifting Equipment
An excavator is defined as a power-driven digging machine.
The major types of excavators used in earthmoving operations include hydraulic excavators and the members of the cable-operated crane-shovel family (shovels, draglines, hoes, and clamshells).
Dozers, loaders, and scrapers can also serve as excavators.

HYDRAULIC EXCAVATORS
Operation and Employment
The original and most common form of hydraulically powered excavator is the hydraulic excavator equipped with a hoe front end.
This machine is also called a hydraulic hoe or hydraulic excavator-backhoe.
A backhoe (or simply hoe) is an excavator designed primarily for excavation below grade.
