Description
A Tracked Loading Shovel is a tractor-like vehicle with a shovel attachment specifically designed to perform heavy-duty earthwork and construction operations such as extracting from a stockpile or bank and loading vehicles. A tracked machine is also popular in the recycling and waste sector for its versatility in movement and loading capabilities.
There are two main types of loading shovel vehicles- tracked, primarily used to backfill, spread and level various types of material using a multi-purpose front bucket or wheeled, which cleans, spreads, and levels materials. Correct and proper preparation is critical to ensure that the loading shovel will work safely and efficiently, so training is essential.
