Plant Machinery Sales of Wheeled Mobile Excavators
Excavator:
Excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, stick, bucket and cab on a rotating platform. The cab sits on top the
undercarriage with tracks or wheels. A cable-operated excavator
uses winches and steel ropes for movements & is often called a power
shovel. Hydraulic excavators use hydraulic fluid, with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors for movement.
Excavators can also be known as diggers, mechanical shovels, or 360-degree excavators, JCBs (an example of a generic trademark). The many types of excavators
include wheeled, walker, mini, long reach, towed and rail excavators. Many excavators
feature a quick hitch for simplified attachment mounting, increasing the machine's
utilisation on the jobsite.
History:
In 1948, the first wheeled excavator was developed by Carlo
and Mario Bruneri. They
released the patent and manufacture rights to a French company named SICAM in 1954, the same year SICAM built the Yumbo. The Yumbo, an S25 excavator, had a truck mounted on it. Wheelers and crawlers made their way into the picture as buyers
became interested in the product.
HY-MAC All Hydraulic
Excavator. Hymac was the pioneer of all
hydraulic 360 excavators. The hymac 580 range progressed to the 580c and 610 wheeled excavator. Hymac originally was
part of Hydraulic Machinery Company America. Peter Hamilton formed Hydraulic
Machinery Company UK, which later became HYMAC LIMITED, manufactured at Ryynmey,
Wales.
The
TU was produced in 1951 by Poclain in France & is one of the first
excavators to change their digging power by the use of cables and winches to a
hydraulic pump and cylinders.

attachments it can also be used for cutting steel and breaking concrete, drilling holes in
the earth, laying gravel onto the road prior to paving, crushing rocks, steel,
and concrete, and even mowing landscapes.
History: The first European wheeled excavator was built by Nordest and it featured pneumatic tires. The Supermobile had a low power of 45 horsepower while it was in transportation model and could obtain a
maximum speed of 9.3 miles (15 km) per hour.
One of the largest wheeled excavators was the Drott
Yumbo 80R, produced in 1970.
The largest mobile machine in the
world is the BWE that was produced for a coalmine project in
Rheinische Braunkohlenwerke AG (now known as RWE Rheinbraun in Cologne),
Germany. The excavator weighted 6,120 tons and had a bucket capacity of 5,000
cubic yards (3,823 m3) per hour
