Guide: List of Terms: Heavy Equipment – Excavator

The following are a list of terms that the student may see in the Excavator digital learning experience (DLX). If these words are unfamiliar, it may be helpful to look them up beforehand, although many of them may become clear through practice in the DLX. This list does not include every part of the excavator, just some words that may be strange, not obvious or unclear. (Words listed with an * are words that describe the condition of a part of the excavator, not an excavator part itself.)
