You may find heavy equipment like excavators in various industries, including building, demolition and mining. Key factors to think about while shopping for a new excavator include the machine's controls, hydraulics and more. Here, Tilly's Crawler Parts discusses them in detail for your convenience.

Controls

First and foremost, it is essential to consider the excavator's controls. The controls should be easy to use and intuitive, allowing the operator to manoeuvre the machine quickly and easily. The excavator should also have a comfortable cab with ample space for the operator, as well as good visibility of the work area.

Hydraulic

It is essential to look for excavators that have been designed with high-quality hydraulic components, as this will ensure that the machine will perform well and comfortably for many years to come.

Size and Weight

When buying a new excavator, it is also essential to consider the size and weight of the machine. The size of the excavator will depend on the specific tasks you will use for it, as well as the space available on the job site.

Attachments

Excavators are incredibly versatile tools and can be fitted with many attachments to make them even more helpful. It is essential to choose excavators compatible with the extensions (for example, an excavator sweeper). This will ensure that both the machine and the excavator sweeper attachment can perform well and help minimize the risk of damage to the extensions.

Cost

Excavators can be expensive, and choosing a machine within your budget is essential. Consider the ongoing costs of the excavator, such as maintenance, excavator parts repairs and fuel. Choose a cost-effective machine to operate and maintain in the long run with features such as easy-to-access filters and fluid reservoirs.
