A hydraulic excavator is a robust construction machine that utilizes a hydraulic system to carry out diverse earthmoving tasks. It typically consists of a boom, dipper (or stick), bucket, and cab mounted on a rotating platform. By harnessing hydraulic fluid under pressure, the excavator effectively powers and maneuvers its components, enabling it to excavate, lift, and transport large quantities of material.

Hydraulic excavators are primarily classified into crawler, mini, and wheeled types. Crawler excavators are outfitted with tracks instead of wheels, enhancing stability and traction, which makes them well-suited for challenging terrains and heavy-duty applications such as mining and construction. These excavators vary in power ratings, from 0-300 hp, 301-500 hp, and above 501 hp, and are available in sizes ranging from up to 8 tons, 8 to 12 tons, and 12 to 20 tons. They are operated through different mechanisms including electric, conventional, and hybrid, serving diverse end-users such as contractors, rental providers, and others.
