Hydraulic Excavator, also called a 360-degree excavator or digger, sometimes abbreviated simply to a 360, is an engineering vehicle consisting of a backhoe and cab mounted on a pivot (a rotating platform, like a Lazy Susan) atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. Their design is a natural progression from the steam shovel.

A compact hydraulic excavator or a mini excavator as it is more usually referred to as a tracked or wheeled construction related machine. The basic model of this machine comes with a back fill blade attached to the boom swing ( the arm ).
Mini excavators, also known as ‘compact excavators’, provide the reliability, durability and comfort required by operators, contractors, plant hirers and builders. Weighing between two and six tons, mini excavators mount one heavy-duty arm on a set of tracks to undertake digging applications in smaller surroundings.
In 2009 Bobcat introduced the newest generation of compact excavators — the M-Series — with improved reliability, performance and comfort. Four new models were debuted last year with additional models coming this year. Bobcat® compact excavators are still the only brand made in the United States. They’re built with advanced hydraulic systems to outperform tractor loader backhoes in traditional excavating applications.
