What are the two main types of excavators?

When it comes to excavators, the heavy-lifters of construction, you’ll find there are two primary types that dominate the market: crawler excavators and wheeled excavators. Each has unique features that suit specific job sites and terrains, and knowing which one fits your needs can make all the difference.

Let’s start with the crawler excavator, often called the “tank” of the excavator world. Crawler excavators have tracks rather than wheels, making them the go-to choice for rugged, uneven terrains. They’re fantastic on slopes and unstable ground, distributing weight across the tracks for better balance and stability. Crawlers are the heroes of rough sites like forests, mountains, or any place where wheels just won’t cut it. Our Fulian team knows that durability is key, which is why our crawler parts are built tough, crafted with high-grade materials and precise engineering to withstand the harshest conditions.

On the other hand, wheeled excavators are the nimble athletes of the excavator family. They’re fast, highly maneuverable, and excel on paved surfaces. If you’re working in urban areas or on road construction, wheeled excavators offer a mobility advantage that crawlers simply can’t match. Picture them as the city-slicker cousin, who zips around town with ease. They’re fantastic for quick travel between job sites and won’t tear up asphalt or finished ground as much. Plus, because of their lighter touch, they’re often more fuel-efficient.

Each type has its strengths, and choosing the right one often depends on the work environment. Here at Fulian, we recognize that a crawler is only as strong as its undercarriage, while a wheeled excavator demands the best axles and suspensions. That’s why we’ve dedicated our expertise to producing undercarriage parts that offer unmatched reliability, regardless of the terrain you’re working on. From rugged rollers and sprockets to long-lasting track chains and grousers, we have the parts to keep your machines going strong.
