Le terme «excavatrice» est un générique dont la notion recouvre trois grandes familles d'engins : les pelles, les excavatrices à godets ou à roue et les trancheuses. Malgré la prédominance de la forme masculine «excavateur» dans les ouvrages spécialisés, c'est la forme féminine «excavatrice» qui doit prévaloir conformément à la tendance actuelle dans la dénomination des engins.
