Crawler excavator rental: Everything you need to know
Tackle large-scale earthmoving projects with rentmas' selection of crawler excavator rentals. These powerful machines feature continuous tracked undercarriages, making them especially suitable for challenging terrain and major excavation work. These excavators offer the necessary strength and stability to handle heavy construction, mining, or infrastructure projects of significant scale.
Is a crawler excavator the right machine for my project?
A crawler excavator – also known as track-type excavator, tracked excavator, digger, crawler, track hoe, mechanical shovel, or simply an “ex” – is a powerful excavator that runs on continuous tracked undercarriages. The difference between standard, large, and heavy-duty crawler excavators is primarily defined by their size and capabilities: these machines are categorized according to their weight and digging power. Crawler excavators on the rentmas platform are characterized as excavators weighing more than 6 tons. Excavators under 6 tons can be found in the mini-excavator category and excavators with wheels instead of tracks can be found in the mobile excavator section.
Make sure to choose the machine you need based on the conditions of your project site. Crawler excavators are powerful and stable and allow operators to tackle challenging terrain where conventional equipment would struggle. Due to their tracked undercarriage, these machines distribute their substantial weight across a larger surface area, providing excellent stability and traction even in difficult conditions.
Crawler excavators can be fitted with a range of attachments that make a wide variety of tasks possible. That said, the attachment typically included in your rental as a default is a standard excavation bucket.
Other common attachments include:
- Ditch cleaning / grading buckets: For grading
- Rake riddle bucket: For surface-level vegetation removal and separation
- Hydraulic hammer: For demolition work
- Earth drilling equipment: For holes and boring
- Universal grapple: For moving stones and vegetation
