Why an Excavator’s Strength Lives in Its Hydraulics

The diesel engine in an excavator never digs. It spins hydraulic pumps that pressurise oil to over 300 bar, and that pressure is what raises the boom, curls the arm and rips with the bucket. The end result is breakout force of several tonnes right at the teeth.

The attachment decides
