What jobs is a wheeled excavator best suited for?
Wheeled excavators are versatile construction machines that have gained immense popularity due to their mobility and versatility. In this guide, we will discuss in which situations wheeled excavators work best, what applications they have, and what to look for when choosing the right model.
Choosing a wheeled excavator model depending on the type of work
The choice of wheeled excavator depends on the specifics of the tasks and the scale of the project. Ramirent offers two models of wheeled excavators with different weights and capabilities.
10-12 ton wheeled excavator
This is a compact model that is perfect for:
- Urban work - it is agile and easy to maneuver, ideal for tight spaces such as streets or construction sites in urban environments.
- Lighter earthworks - such as digging trenches, foundations for smaller buildings or installation work.
- Quick relocations - its mobility allows it to move on roads without the need to use a tow truck, which saves time.
14-16 ton wheeled excavator
A larger model with greater power and durability, suitable for:
- Road construction and heavy infrastructure work - ideal for removing surfaces, digging deeper trenches and moving heavy materials.
- Work on large construction sites - it will work well on more demanding projects, such as foundations for large facilities. More
- difficult terrain and heavier loads – it is more stable and efficient in work requiring the use of heavier equipment.
Choosing the right wheeled excavator model depends on the scale and specifics of the project. If you are planning smaller jobs, a 10-12 ton excavator will be the best choice thanks to its precision and agility, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. On the other hand, for larger, more demanding tasks, such as roadworks or infrastructure construction, a 14-16 ton excavator will be better, providing more power and stability, which translates into higher efficiency.
