The earth moving machine is used to indicate industrial machines used to perform any operation requiring earth movement, i.e. earth modelling, generally for construction or territorial management purposes, for excavation and relief works.
Depending on the function in question, they are divided into: machines exclusively used for moving material, machines for loading material, excavation as well as transportation machines. They are made up of a translating machine body, whether on tracks or rubber, possibly driven by a rotary unit and the functional unit.
