What work can be done with an excavator?

With an excavator and the right attachment, most earthworks can be carried out:

  • excavation for foundations, basements and tanks — with the standard bucket;
  • trenches for water, sewerage, gas and cables — with the narrow bucket, at the required width;
  • demolition and breaking concrete or rock — with the hydraulic breaker;
  • levelling and sloping — with the grading bucket;
  • holes for posts and fences — with the auger;
  • loading and handling of soil, rubble and materials — with the bucket or the grapple;
  • topsoil stripping and site preparation.

Attachments are selected when booking, from RON 45/day (buckets) to RON 180/day (hydraulic breaker). Each machine page includes the list “Work that can be carried out” and cost examples. For levelling large areas, a bulldozer is usually more efficient than an excavator.

💡 Depending on the attachment: excavation for foundations and trenches, demolition (with a hydraulic breaker), levelling and sloping, drilling (with an auger), material loading and topsoil stripping. The list of possible work is shown on each machine page.
