Some of these types of machines are excavators as they are build to excavate material. Another machine may be a paving machine, which is solely used to pave roads and bridges. If you are in the construction business you would only buy a paving machine if you were in the paving business and you would only purchase an excavator if you were in the business of excavation. However, there is one machine that is produced by a lot of equipment manufacturers that is so versatile that whether you are a paving contractor or a landscaper you will want to purchase.

These machines are extremely versatile which makes them so popular with a log of different types of contractors. One of the main reasons people purchase these machines is because they can do many different tasks around the job site.

Or, if you are redoing some concrete sidewalks, you can put a hammer on the front of this machine that can quickly break of the concrete with a hammer, drop the hammer of and put a bucket on to pick up those concrete pieces that you just broke up with your hammer.
