Introduction
A shovel can be installed on many different types of
earthmoving machines. The shovel can be directly
mounted on to a lift arm assembly or mounted to the
lift arm via a quickhitch assembly.
There are a vast amount and size of shovels used for
numerous applications.
A shovel can be used to scoop up loose material
from the ground, such as dirt, sand or gravel, and
move it from one place to another without pushing
the material across the ground. It is commonly used
to move stockpiled material from ground level and
deposited into a dump truck or into an open trench
excavation.
