The Difference Between an Excavator and a Digger
An excavator or digger is a large piece of specialized construction equipment, frequently hydraulic, that consists of a boom, dipper, bucket, and rotating cab. While they contain many of the same components, there are some vital differences between an excavator and a digger. An excavator is a heavy-duty, industrial machine that's usually larger, and has full 360-degree cab rotation capabilities. A digger is smaller and used for lighter-duty construction work, and its cab may rotate left and right but not fully rotate.
