	Face shovels are characterised by a boom and bucket arm that extends and swings upwards from the front. It can be used to excavate any kind of soil, including rock that has been loosened by blasting. It is usual for an additional haulage vehicle to be required for spoil removal, as well as a low loader transport lorry for travelling between sites. Face shovels are limited to an excavation depth of 300-400 mm below their own track or wheel level.

−	A backacter is fitted with a boom and bucket arm or a dipper arm that excavates downwards. They are most suited to trench, foundation and basement excavations. The depth of the dig can be up to 6-7 m, although arm extensions can be added if further depths are required. In excavation operations where the bucket width is equal to the trench width, increased accuracy and high productivity rates can be achieved.	+	A backacter (or back actor) is fitted with a boom and bucket arm or a dipper arm that excavates downwards.
