The Wheeled excavator is often referred to as a rubber duck’ due to the appearance and the tendency to “bob about” whilst working.

A Wheeled excavator is a 360 deg excavator mounted on rubber tyres as opposed to the tracked undercarriage normally used.

They are used for street works where the tyres eliminate the damage caused by steel tracks.

The tyres also mean they can travel to and from jobs under their own power and do not need a low loader to transport them. They are not as versatile in soft site conditions due to the higher ground pressure of the wheels.
