In the field of engineering construction, excavators often need to cope with various terrain challenges, among which climbing is an important task. Mastering the correct excavator climbing skills is crucial to improving work efficiency and ensuring operational safety.
For new excavators, full preparations must be made before climbing. First, carefully check the crawler, supporting wheels, sprocket wheels and other walking parts to ensure that they are not loose, damaged or excessively worn. At the same time, check the key parts such as the hydraulic system and engine to ensure that they are in good condition. In addition, make sure that the bucket is placed in a safe position to avoid the balance being affected by the bucket shaking or collision during the climbing process.
For second-hand excavators, these preparations are even more critical. For excavators purchased from second-hand dealers, you can consult the dealer about the climbing performance and precautions of the equipment before climbing. Second-hand dealers usually provide professional advice based on the specific situation of the equipment, such as which parts may need to be checked more carefully, and the problems and coping methods that may occur during the climbing process. Second-hand dealers will also perform a certain degree of inspection and maintenance on the acquired second-hand excavators to ensure that they can operate safely and reliably under conditions such as climbing.
During the climbing process, control the speed. Accelerate slowly and steadily, and avoid sudden acceleration or sudden braking, otherwise it may cause the track to slip, lose traction, or even cause the excavator to lose control. For second-hand excavators, since performance may decline, it is even more important to control the speed to ensure safety. It is also very important to keep the center of gravity of the excavator stable, which can be achieved by adjusting the bucket position and distributing the weight reasonably. At the same time, pay attention to the tilt angle indicator on the dashboard. Once a tilt trend is found, stop climbing immediately and adjust the position before continuing to move forward.
It is also key to make full use of the track's grip. Choose the right track tension. Too loose or too tight will affect the climbing performance. The track of a second-hand excavator may need to be adjusted more frequently to ensure optimal performance when climbing. When climbing, try to keep the track perpendicular to the slope, avoid lateral driving or diagonal climbing to improve the track's grip and reduce the risk of slipping.
In addition, coordinate the operating handle and pedal to achieve smooth forward movement, steering and braking. For excavators with bulldozers, the bulldozers can be used appropriately when climbing slopes to increase stability and traction.
In short, whether it is a new excavator or a second-hand excavator, mastering the correct climbing skills can bring convenience to engineering construction. Second-hand dealers also play an important role in this process. The professional advice and maintenance services they provide can make second-hand excavators operate more safely and reliably under conditions such as climbing slopes.
