Equipment
hire professionals cater to the building trade as well as the domestic
handyman. If you are considering undertaking a home improvement project or need
any type of hire equipment for your company, you will probably need advice on
choosing the right equipment. Depending on the job, you may need skip hire, truck hire, a tipper truck
or something else entirely! And if the
project is on a larger scale, you may even need an excavator. Graham Churchill Plant Ltd, provide waste
management services for both domestic and commercial clients. They've put together the below guidelines on
all you need to know about excavators.
What are
excavators?
Excavators
are one of the most versatile pieces of machinery used on a building site. They come in a variety of sizes and typically
remove soil and create trenches for a multitude of purposes such as building
foundations. Graham Churchill Plant Ltd have a wide range of excavators,
breakers, loading shovels, and dozers that can assist you in your building
project. They also offer skip hire
to
get rid of waste as you go along.
How
excavators work
This
machinery has the ability to manoeuvre on all types of terrain and move in 360
degrees. Excavators use a hydraulic system to scoop soil and dirt as well as
dig. These machines can often be found on mining sites, demolitions and digging
trenches. Choosing the right excavator for your project is important. Read on
to find out how to choose the right excavator for you.
Check the
terrain
It's
important to check the terrain you will be working with. If you live in a rocky
area, it will be difficult to get a large excavator to the construction site.
On the other hand, if you need to work on a clearing, a larger excavator will
be needed to complete the job. The type of dirt you will work with will also
need to be taken into consideration. You don’t want an excavator that weighs a
couple of tons to get stuck in muddy terrain.
Transportation
Transporting
excavators from one job site to another will require the help of a trailer. The
larger the machine the larger the trailer will need to be. You may also need to
consider a wide load trailer for depending on the task. In addition, it's worth
bearing in mind that unless work sites are close, excavators will take a long
time to get there as they do not travel over 20 miles an hour. This will mean
fuel and transportation implications. Graham Churchill Plant Ltd have all types
of machinery available throughout Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire,
Buckinghamshire and the surrounding areas.
Size
Smaller
excavators work well for projects that do not require a large hole or much
lifting. Mini excavators are ideal for landscaping. It's also worth looking
into skip hire so that waste can
be disposed of regularly leaving you enough room to manoeuvre a mini digger
when space is tight.
