    HISTROY OF EXCAVATOR

    First excavator in history invented by William Ottis (1839)


    HISTROY OF EXCAVATOR
    First machine to resemble an
    excavator was the steam shovel.
    It was first installed on railway
    tracks to allow mobility.
    The machine capacity can move
    300 cubic yards a day.

    Canal and dig the foundations of
    early skyscrapers.
    It was used and updated till
    1920s.
    Sir W.G. Armstrong & Co. (1882)
    developed the hydraulic system.

    HISTROY OF EXCAVATOR
    Hydraulic excavator was
    patented to Kilcore Machine Co
    in Minnesota in 1897.
    None of these excavator can
    rotate 360 degrees.
    In 1960’s, Poclain invented an
    excavator with cylinders and
    hydraulic pump.

    What is an Excavator?
    It is a construction equipment consist of boom,
    dipper, bucket, and cab.
    The natural progression of this equipment is from
    steam shovel and often mistakenly called power
    shovels.
    All the movements and function use hyradulic
    fluid accompanied by hydraulic cylinders and
    motors.

    Buckets are the most
    common attachments seen on
    excavators. These steel
    attachments have teeth-like edges
    that can provide digging and
    scooping capabilities. Buckets
    come in different varieties, the
    most common being ditching
    buckets designed for grading
    stones and trenching buckets used
    to dig trenches.

    Auger allows you to bore
    into the ground. Powered by
    hydraulic circuits, these helical
    attachments can reach over
    objects and drill deep holes.
    Augers come in different
    specifications and sizes for various
    digging conditions and terrains
    they range from 4 inches to 50
    inches in length and can dig up to
    32 feet

    Breakers are like
    jackhammers but are much larger
    in size. With the ability to provide
    up to 1,000 pounds of impact
    energy, these attachments can
    break into tougher surfaces like
    stone and concrete.

    Clamps allow excavator
    operators to pick up large
    materials that are too oversized
    for a bucket, such as tree stumps
    and concrete. The attachments
    can be used with buckets or as
    pieces in a grapple. Clamps are
    easy to attach and detach from
    excavators.

    Couplers allow you to
    quickly switch between tools and

    versatility is handy when moving
    between different tasks and

    Hydraulic Cylinder –They do
    this by regulating oil flow and
    releasing immense forces.
    Attached to the chassis of the
    mini-excavator, there are hydraulic
    cylinders that enable the machine
    to do what you need it to. This are
    used to manipulate the boom,
    arm, and bucket.

    Boom - The boom forms the
    upper part of the digging arm,
    attached to the front of the house
    and governing up and down
    movement. In mono booms, one
    or two boom cylinders at the base
    lift the boom up and only vertical
    movement is possible.

    Cab/Operator Cab - This is an
    enclosed cabin housing all the
    excavator controls and seating for
    the operator. This provides
    protection from the elements and
    falling materials while all round
    glazing offers 360-degree visibility.

    Engine - Excavators derive
    their power from diesel engines as
    it produces a higher horsepower
    than petrol. It also powers three
    hydraulic pumps, two of which
    supply pressurized oil to the arms,
    accessories and swing motor.

    Counterweight – As a fully
    extended digging arm is likely to
    tip an excavator, a large
    counterweight is incorporated into
    all designs. This is incorporated
    into the upper housing towards
    the rear of the excavator.

    Facts About the Excavator
    Modern Specs of Excavator
    Types
    of Excavator
    Knowing its species…

    26
    Types of Excavator
    Crawler excavator- Unlike
    other large excavators that run
    on wheels, crawlers run on two
    large endless tracks and are
    optimal for mining and heavy-
    duty construction jobs. Also
    known as compact excavators,
    these excavators use hydraulic
    power mechanisms to lift heavy
    debris and soil.
    • Pros: Provide greater balance and stability on
    uneven ground
    • Cons: Slower than some other excavators

    27
    Types of Excavator
    Wheeled Excavator -
    Wheeled excavators are similar in
    size and appearance to crawlers
    but run-on wheels instead of
    tracks. Replacing tracks with
    wheels makes them faster and
    easier to maneuver on concrete,
    asphalt and other flat surfaces
    while still offering the same power
    capabilities.

    • Pros: Fast and easy to maneuver on flat surfaces


    • Cons: Perform poorly on uneven terrain

    28
    Types of Excavator
    Dragline Excavator-
    dragline excavator is a larger
    excavator that operates with a
    different process. The
    equipment utilizes a hoist rope
    system that attaches to a bucket
    via a hoist coupler. The other
    side of the bucket affixes to a
    dragline that runs from the
    bucket to the cab.
    • Pros: Dragline system is ideal for underwater
    excavating and canal dreading

    • Cons: Weight and size make it impractical for


    smaller jobs 29
    Types of Excavator
    Suction Excavator- Also
    known as vacuum excavators,
    suction excavators feature a
    suction pipe capable of providing
    up to 400 horsepower. The
    excavator first releases a water
    jet to loosen the ground.

    • Pros: Added precision reduces damage during


    delicate jobs
    • Cons: Narrow suction pipes are impractical for
    large-scale applications
    30
    Types of Excavator
    Skid Steer Excavators -
    Unlike standard excavators, skid
    steers have booms and buckets
    that face away from the driver.
    This orientation allows the
    attachments to reach over the
    cab instead of around it, making
    these excavators useful in more
    narrow areas and maneuvering
    tricky turns.
    • Pros: Easy to maneuver in tight and narrow
    spaces
    • Cons: Don’t perform as well on uneven or slippery
    surfaces 31
    Types of Excavator
    Long Reach Excavators -
    As its name suggests, a long
    reach excavator features
    lengthier arm and boom
    sections. The design allows for
    better operation in hard-to-
    reach locations. The excavator’s
    extendable arm can reach over
    100 feet horizontally.
    • Pros: Longer boom is ideal for hard-to-reach
    locations and demolition projects
    • Cons: Difficult to use in tight spaces

    32
    Types of Excavator
    Mini Excavator - a smaller
    and lighter version of the
    standard excavator capable of
    minimizing ground damage and
    fitting through crowded, narrow
    sites like parking lots and indoor
    spaces.

    • Pros: Easily fits into tight spaces and can be used


    indoors
    • Cons: Can only handle smaller loads
