360 Excavator Training

What is a 360 Excavator?

A 360 excavator, also known as a tracked excavator or a digger, is a powerful piece of heavy machinery widely used in construction and earthmoving projects. These excavators are designed to perform a variety of tasks, including digging, lifting, and moving materials. They are named “360” because their cab can rotate in a full circle, allowing for greater manoeuvrability in tight spaces.

Uses of a 360 Excavator

360 excavators are versatile machines used in various applications, including:

• Excavation : Digging trenches or foundations.
• Landscaping : Shaping and preparing land for construction.
• Demolition : Breaking down structures with attachments like hydraulic breakers.
• Material Handling : Loading and transporting materials on-site.
• What Does a 360 Excavator Do?

A 360 excavator is equipped with a boom, dipper, and bucket, which allow it to perform a range of tasks efficiently. Operators can adjust the machine’s attachments to suit specific jobs, such as:

• Digging and Trenching : Creating holes and trenches for utilities or foundations.
• Lifting and Placing : Moving heavy materials from one location to another.
• Grading and Levelling : Preparing surfaces for construction or landscaping.
