When an excavator like the Hitachi Zaxis 210 MF passes through trenches, it performs various actions to efficiently navigate and operate within the confined space. Here is a description of the typical actions you can expect:

1. Approach: The excavator approaches the trench with caution, ensuring that the machine is stable and aligned properly. The operator carefully maneuvers the excavator towards the edge of the trench.

2. Lowering the Boom: To begin work in the trench, the operator lowers the boom, which is the large arm of the excavator. This action allows the bucket or other attachments to reach the desired depth within the trench.

3. Bucket Digging: The excavator's bucket, which is attached to the end of the boom, is used to dig into the soil or material within the trench. The operator controls the movement of the boom and bucket to excavate and remove the soil.

4. Swinging the Superstructure: The superstructure of the excavator, which houses the engine, controls, and operator cabin, can rotate 360 degrees. This rotation enables the operator to position the excavator's boom and bucket at different angles to reach specific areas of the trench.

5. Backfilling: After the desired work is completed within the trench, the excavator can also be used for backfilling. The operator may swing the superstructure to position the bucket outside the trench, then scoop up material such as soil or gravel to fill and level the trench.

6. Trench Compaction: Depending on the requirements of the project, the excavator may also be equipped with a compactor attachment. This attachment can be used to compact and stabilize the backfilled material within the trench.

Throughout these actions, the operator maintains control over the excavator using hydraulic joysticks or other control mechanisms, ensuring precise movements and safe operation. The specific actions and techniques may vary depending on the operator's skill, the nature of the trench, and the project requirements.
