Earthmoving equipment makes quick work of big jobs. They’re built to do what a shovel and manpower can’t: conquer tough terrains and heavy loads fast. Earthmoving machinery offers efficiency, speed, and versatility, so you never have to choose between getting the job done on time and getting it done right.
At Yancey, we know earthmoving equipment. Our machine division sells Caterpillar earthmoving and supports sales, parts, and service operations at seventeen Machine Centers located across Georgia. Earthmoving equipment makes a great investment whether you’re interested in purchasing new, used, or looking into earthmoving equipment rentals.
We’ve outlined six of the most common earthmoving machinery to help you narrow down the right tool for your job.
Earthmoving equipment comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and specialties. Depending on your needs, you may consider purchasing equipment to handle big jobs again and again. Renting is another great solution to handle special jobs that only come your way occasionally.
Here are the most commonly used earthmoving equipment available for purchase or rent:
Excavators are the number one tool for digging trenches, holes, foundations, and moving materials. They feature a long arm, bucket, and 360-degree rotation.
Dozers are ideal for pushing large quantities of soil, sand, or debris thanks to their heavy-duty blades and robust tracks that provide extra stability.
If you have small-scale excavation and loading tasks then a backhoe loader is the right machine for the job. The combination of front loader and a rear excavator arm offers versatility to handle a variety of jobs.
Thanks to their small size, maneuverability, and ability to use various attachments, skid-steer loaders excel at compact earthmoving and handling material in tight spaces.
Track loaders offer great traction on uneven or slippery terrain and are perfect for grading, digging, and earthmoving on muddy, sandy, or rocky ground.
This larger machine has four wheels and a front-mounted bucket to handle a higher load capacity and offer faster travel speed to cover long distances.
