trackhoe
Crawler-mounted earth mover
A trackhoe is a hydraulic excavator mounted on continuous tracks rather than wheels, used for digging, trenching, and earthmoving.
The name distinguishes it from wheeled excavators and emphasizes the tracked undercarriage that provides stability on uneven terrain.
Common on construction sites and in heavy excavation work: The trackhoe dug out the foundation in two days.
Also spelled track hoe.
