Excavators the equipment’s that comprise of a bucket dipper, cab, and boom on a rotating platform known as the house. Excavators are also known as mechanical shovels, diggers, 360-degree excavators, or JCBs. Excavators are used for various purposes such as, material handling, forestry work, holes, construction, drilling shafts for rock blasting and footings and, breaker and cutter attachments, especially, but not only open-pit mining, foundations, river dredging, forestry mulching, digging of trenches, driving piles, brush cutting with hydraulic saw and mower attachments, in combination with a pile driver, general grading/landscaping, mining, by use of an auger or hydraulic drill attachment, demolition with hydraulic claw. Excavators are available in various power ranges including 0-300 HP, 301-500 HP, and 501 & above HP.
Rising demand for excavators from various sectors including mining, infrastructure, and waste management is a major factor expected to drive the growth of the global excavator market. In addition, upgradation by the manufacturers and technological innovation in various industries is also expected to propel the demand for excavator and drives the growth of the global excavator market over the forecast period.
High cost of excavators is a major factor may hamper acceptance and restrain the growth of the target market. In addition, government rules about safety measures is another factor restraining growth of the excavator market. Rapidly growing urban population in the countries of the developing regions are factors driving growth in various infrastructural sectors and projected to create an opportunity for the target market.
There are four types of excavators available including mini excavator, small excavator, medium-sized excavator, and large-sized excavator. A mini excavator is mostly used as it is available in different power output capacities that are suited for different applications.
