(1) Many excavator manufacturers consider any machine weighing less than about 8 tons to be a compact.(2) Kobelco offers the Blade Runner, which is a combination excavator and dozer.(3) The material found in front of the palisade fence, in the ditches, and within the interior suggested to the excavator that the site was used for ritual, ceremonial, and funerary purposes by a fairly large group of people.(4) Well he had gone to Oxford and studied classical archaeology when people like Arthur Evans the famous excavator of Crete was there, it must have been an exciting time.(5) Installation at another site with an excavator and bulldozer working as a team took the same amount of time.(6) As Mortimer Wheeler put it 50 years ago, u2018the archaeological excavator is not digging up things, he is digging up peopleu2019.(7) When the operator can see all around, he knows where he can swing the excavator 's boom, reverse the dozer, or turn the grader.(8) When the dig was over it was generally the personal responsibility of the excavator , with little assistance, to sort out all the material and write it up for publication.(9) The bird had a little trough of seed from which it kept on scooping up mechanical mouthfuls like an excavator scoops up earth.(10) Brian was a brilliant excavator - I remember attending a lecture he gave on his excavations at Dunbar, and thinking I ought just to throw my trowel away.(11) Rather than bringing in a larger piece of equipment, an operator may overload a smaller excavator , lifting rocks heavier than what the equipment normally handles.(12) He built a workshop, developed an excavator with an earth scoop and built a dam to supply water for a hydro electric plant to supply power for domestic use and for his engineering projects.(13) These were demonstrably built in two phases, one Augustan and the other Severan, since they are very different in style and construction: the excavator estimated that the original structure had places for at most six hundred people.(14) Because he can do more work from one position, the excavator operator moves his machine less.(15) When these situations occur, conventional methods of mechanical shield machines or excavator machines are used.(16) The excavator 's pump system is the source of the oil, and it is routed to the attachment via tubelines and hoses on the workgroup.
