Now the same excavator can also be used to demolish a structure for which it is very much potent. However, you still use a bulldozer to get that part of the job done. This fact implies that though different heavy equipment has the capacity to do several tasks some which do not fall in their job area, it is better to restrict them from doing such tasks.
