Among many engineering machinery and equipment, the walking performance of the excavator is crucial. An excavator with good walking performance can operate efficiently in various complex terrains, providing strong guarantee for the smooth progress of the project.
 
Different brands and models of excavators have their own characteristics in walking performance. Some well-known brands of excavators are usually equipped with advanced walking systems, with strong power, stable walking posture and good passability. For example, some brands of excavators use high-performance hydraulic drive systems, which can achieve smooth walking and precise control, and can perform well whether on muddy construction sites, rugged mountains or hard roads.

However, for those who are considering buying a second-hand excavator, judging its walking performance requires more caution. Second-hand dealers play an important role in this process. Buying an excavator from a reliable second-hand dealer can get more accurate information about the walking performance of the equipment. They usually perform a certain degree of inspection and evaluation on the second-hand excavator, including checking whether the various components of the walking system, such as crawlers, drive wheels, supporting wheels, etc. are severely worn, and whether there are leaks in the hydraulic system.
 
When choosing a second-hand excavator, you can consult the second-hand dealer about the equipment's usage history and walking performance. Understand the previous working environment of the excavator. If it mainly works in harsh terrain, the travel system may have greater wear and tear. At the same time, you can ask the second-hand dealer to provide the maintenance record of the equipment to see if the travel system has been repaired or replaced. If the maintenance record is good, it means that the travel system of the excavator has been well maintained.
 
In addition, personally test driving a second-hand excavator is also an important way to judge its travel performance. During the test drive, feel the travel speed, stability and maneuverability of the excavator. Pay attention to whether the crawler is loose, whether there is abnormal noise, etc. If there is shaking, bumping or obvious lack of power during walking, it may mean that there is a problem with the travel system.

For new excavators, manufacturers usually provide a certain warranty period and after-sales service, which to a certain extent guarantees the reliability of travel performance. Second-hand excavators may require buyers to bear more risks themselves. Therefore, when purchasing a second-hand excavator, in addition to paying attention to travel performance, you also need to consider factors such as the overall condition of the equipment, price and after-sales service.
 
In short, choosing an excavator with good travel performance requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. Whether it is a new excavator or a used excavator purchased from a second-hand dealer, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the performance of its travel system to ensure that the equipment can travel safely and efficiently in various operating environments. At the same time, cooperating with a reliable second-hand dealer can increase the chance of purchasing a high-quality second-hand excavator, bringing more convenience and benefits to engineering construction.
