Comparative analysis of the characteristics of Backhoe excavators and Loader excavators

The topic of hydraulic excavators is briefly elaborated, including their classification, main components, and operating principles, as machines commonly used for earthmoving operations. Emphasis is placed on the most common types of hydraulic excavators—backhoe excavators and loader excavators—their technical specifications, components, modes of operation, and specific features related to performing earthmoving tasks. Through the provided description of their components, working principles, and technical characteristics, the paper enables a better selection of the appropriate type of excavator for efficiently carrying out specific tasks such as excavation, transport, loading, or other operations involving earth materials.
