Summary: Excavators
with wheels for better mobility
Wheel excavators are a type of excavator that uses
wheels instead of tracks for mobility. This fundamental difference gives them
distinct advantages and disadvantages compared to their tracked counterparts.
Mobility: The primary advantage of wheel excavators is their ability to travel on paved roads and other hard surfaces without causing damage. This allows them to move quickly and easily between job sites, eliminating the need for trailers in many cases. They also tend to be faster than tracked excavators on these surfaces.
Applications: Wheel excavators are well-suited for:
* Urban construction and road
maintenance
* Utility work (repairing pipes,
etc.)
* Projects requiring frequent
travel between sites
Limitations: Compared to tracked excavators, wheel excavators have:
* Less stability and traction in
off-road conditions, especially on soft or uneven terrain.
* Limited ability to climb steep slopes.
