excavation equipment

Machines that dig

Excavation equipment refers to heavy machinery used for digging, moving earth, and clearing ground—backhoes, bulldozers, excavators, trenchers, and the like.

The term appears in construction contracts, equipment rentals, and job site planning: We need excavation equipment on site by Monday.

Also called earthmoving equipment.
