1.3 Designated use
The hydraulic excavator is a machine with a working implement (e.g. backhoe
bucket, grapple, front shovel) for loosening, picking up, transporting and dumping
soil, stones and other materials in which the load is predominantly transported
without displacement of the machine. If the machine is to be moved when carrying
a load, this must be done in accordance with the technical safety instructions (see
the "Notes on safe working" section).
Machines for load-lifting work are subjected to particular conditions and must be
provided with the prescribed safety devices (see "Load-lifting work" section).
Machines used underground (mining and tunnelling) in a non-potentially explosive
atmosphere must be equipped with technologies for reducing exhaust emissions
(e.g. diesel particulate filter). The requirements of individual countries must be
complied with in this case.
Special applications such as demolition work or loading/unloading operations
require special equipment and possibly special safety devices. This equipment
(e.g. tree grapple, demolition hammer, concrete shear, etc.) is only allowed to be
