Tracking undercarriage wear on compact excavators
Compact excavators are often workhorses on jobsites, spending the day digging trenches or picking and placing materials. In these applications, or even in more demanding work, such as demolition, the excavator has the advantage of sitting in one place, letting the swing of the machine’s house and movement of the boom and arm do the work.
