Different Factors to Consider When Buying an Excavator

At Al-Bahar we have one of the largest collection of wheel excavators as well as Cat® mini excavator. But, which one should you go for? We recommend that you consider the following factors:

Engine power: You need an engine which is capable enough to perform tasks without stressing itself. You should look at the bore and piston stroke so you can compare the strength of different engines.

Weight: You should consider the maximum operating weight, which will includes the weight of equipment, operator and load options. You should not get an excavator that’s too heavy and will damage your site.

Size: Make sure your excavator can fit at your job-site. Usually excavators come in different sizes like mini excavators, big excavators as well as medium ones based on the tonnage, corresponding to their operating weight. As tonnage goes up, breakout force goes up as well.

Bucket capacity: – Buckets are among the most commonly used components for excavators. You will need to check the types of buckets it supports and the maximum capacity of the bucket option.
