During this period, coal had the highest rate of consumption as a fuel source primarily due to its widespread use in industrial processes, electricity generation, and heating.

Excavators are heavy construction equipment used primarily for digging, moving, and lifting materials such as soil, rocks, and debris. They typically consist of a boom, bucket, and cab mounted on a rotating platform, allowing for versatile operations on construction sites. Excavators are commonly used in tasks such as excavating foundations, trenching, and road construction.

The case 688 excavator serial number cgg0011606 corresponds to a machine manufactured in 2007.

Fillers.

Security arrangements - wearing of ID badges for example, bag/vehicle searches etc

Access Routes - vehicle entry/exit and pedestrian entry /exit, one-way system, deliveries

First Aid arrangements - where they are, who to call and how, nearest hospital

Expectations - Tidyness of work area, disposal of waste, no smoking/food/alcohol/drugs etc

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - what the requirements are across areas of the site

Accident reporting procedure - who to report to and what follow up is required.

There are other 'categories' which would be applicable according to what tye of work is carried out, but the above 6 would be fairly universal across almost any site.

Well it depends on the excavator. John Deere makes mini's all the way up to large excavators.

The operating parts consist of a boom, hinged at its base end at the machine, and a stick, pivoting on the outer end of the boom. The stick extends above and below its pivot point, with the digging bucket on the lower end and the retracting cable at its upper end. A second cable, the digging cable, is attached to the lower end of the stick, near the bucket.

The digging and retraction actions of the cables is straightforward. To lift the boom/stick/bucket assembly, the digging cable is locked and the retraction cable is pulled in. With the digging cable locked, the boom and stick assembly becomes a ridged triangle and is forced to move up as the retracting cable is shortened.

After the bucket is raised, the boom is pivoted to the dump site, the retraction cable is locked and the digging cable is allowed to play out. The Retracting cable holds the boom and stick assembly in its elevated position and its weight forces the stick and bucket outward until the load is dumped.

Hitachi Power tools is part of Hitachi Koki U.S.A. This in turn is a division of Hitachi Industries in Japan

It makes the construction easier for the workers since it can dig, move, transport earth, gravel and etc. in a shorter period of time with less energy use.

Pilot controlled... but in the context of PC200, PC300 it means powered crawler
