The crawler of the excavator is an important part of it, which is related to the normal operation, working efficiency and service life of the equipment. Today, I will talk to you about the maintenance tips of the crawler of the excavator.
The maintenance of the crawler is very important. Check the tension of the crawler regularly to ensure that it is moderate, avoid damage to the crawler and related parts due to too loose or too tight, and the droop of the crawler should generally be within the specified range. Clean the crawler in time after the operation to prevent the accumulation of debris such as soil, sand and stones from corroding and wearing it. You can use a high-pressure water gun or brush to clean it. At the same time, pay attention to lubricate the pins, rollers and other parts of the crawler to reduce friction and wear. Choose a suitable lubricant and lubricate it correctly on time. In addition, avoid excessive excavation, forced turning and other behaviors during operation to reduce unnecessary wear on the crawler.
The maintenance of the crawler should not be ignored. Check the track plate regularly, and replace it in time if there are problems such as wear, cracks or breaks, because the wear degree of the track plate will affect the driving stability and traction of the excavator. If the crawler chain is damaged or deformed, it needs to be repaired or replaced in time to ensure the normal operation of the crawler. When the crawler is severely worn or other serious problems occur, the entire crawler assembly may need to be replaced. At this time, you should choose a reliable product and ensure that it is installed correctly.
In addition, you should pay attention to regular maintenance, and perform inspections, cleaning, lubrication and repairs according to the equipment manufacturer's recommendations to detect and solve problems in a timely manner. Train operators to understand the maintenance and repair knowledge and correct operation methods of the crawler to reduce damage to the crawler. If the excavator is not used for a long time, it should be stored in a dry and ventilated place, and the crawler should be loosened to avoid it being damaged by being in a tensioned state for a long time.
In the second-hand excavator market, we know that every customer is eager to buy a reliable and high-quality equipment. When our team, especially our experienced masters, face a second-hand excavator to be acquired, crawler inspection is a crucial link. First, the masters will carefully observe the appearance of the crawler. They check whether the track plate is excessively worn, cracked or broken. If the track plate is found to have obvious signs of wear, the masters will use their years of experience to determine whether the degree of wear is within an acceptable range. We will resolutely refuse to purchase cracked or broken track plates, as this may bring serious safety hazards in subsequent use. Next, the masters will check the tension of the track. Appropriate tension is the key to ensuring stable driving and normal operation of the excavator. Too loose tracks will lead to unstable driving and affect work efficiency; too tight tracks will increase the wear of the tracks and related parts. The masters will use professional tools to measure and ensure that the track tension is in the best condition.
In short, taking the maintenance and repair of the excavator track seriously can ensure its good condition, improve the working efficiency of the excavator, and extend the service life of the equipment.
