Discover why some excavators have tracks instead of wheels, explained simply for children. Learn about how they work and why it's important!
Okay, little buddy! You know how some toy cars have wheels, and they can roll around really fast? Well, excavators are big machines that help dig and move dirt, kind of like giant toys! But guess what? Not all excavators have wheels.
Some excavators have wheels, and those are great for driving on hard, flat roads where they need to go fast. But other excavators have tracks like a tank. The tracks help them stay stable and not sink into the soft dirt or mud, just like how your boots keep you from getting stuck when it's muddy outside!
So, some excavators have tracks because they can drive over uneven ground better and they don’t get stuck. Just like using the right shoes for playing outside!
