Safe operation of small excavators - compliance with rules and regulations

There is a jargon in our engineering work: "All safety accidents have one reason: non-compliance with rules and regulations", so what rules and regulations do we have for driving excavators? How to avoid excavator accidents as much as possible, and how to reduce excavator failures How about prolonging the life of the excavator? The editor sorted out some common mistakes in safe operation, and some precautions, and shared them with you.


1. Remember to lock the door, do not hold the door frame


There are many masters who are used to not locking the door when driving the excavator (the door of the excavator cab has a lock when it is closed, and there is a lock when it is opened), and they are used to holding the door frame. When the excavator is going downhill or getting off the trailer, many drivers will habitually push the left hand on the front windshield or door frame, and operate the excavator with the right hand. At this time, if the door is open and not locked, due to the forward tilt of the fuselage, the door will be closed quickly due to gravity, usually with a lot of force. If you put your hand on the door frame, you will be caught. Very serious consequences.


So when working with an excavator, the doors must be locked no matter whether the doors are open or closed. The driver should try not to hold the door frame with his hands.


2. Matters needing attention when walking


Many novices or apprentices will raise the boom of the excavator to the highest level, fully open the stick, and the bucket will face the sky in order to have a better view. Actually walking like this is very dangerous, because the working device is held high, so the center of gravity is high, and the vehicle will overturn if the ground is slightly uneven.


3. Pay attention to blind spots


The cab of the excavator is on the left, and the view is blocked by the arm in the middle, so there is a large blind spot on the right, especially the rear on the right. Many excavator accidents are due to the rotation of the right side of the tail, causing people to be injured or killed! Therefore, when working in a site that is not very wide, the excavator should be kept to the left as much as possible to leave more space on the right side.


In addition, many people don’t pay much attention to the rearview mirror of the excavator. The rearview mirror is a very fragile thing on the excavator, and it is often knocked off during work or transportation. Many drivers will think that they should just touch it. , Anyway, it is not important, so I did not replace it with a new rearview mirror in time. In fact, the rearview mirror is very important on the excavator, especially the one on the right side. Accidents often occur due to poor safety awareness!

Causes of crawler excavator pipe burst

Crawler excavators are very common in our life, but in the process of use, pipe bursts often occur, so what are the factors that cause this phenomenon? The following crawler excavator manufacturers will give you a detailed explanation: 1. Use inferior hydraulic pipes For the sake of cheapness, many people choose inferior crawler excavator hydraulic pipes that do not meet the standards. The performance and reliability of the hydraulic pipes are far lower than the original pipes, and the sealing and reliability cannot be guaranteed. After a period of use, fuel consumption and even oil leakage will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to choose an ordinary big brand product to replace the hydraulic pipe. 2. Excessive pressure in the hydraulic system will increase the possibility of bursting. This method is used to test the pressure and various actions generated by the main pump. If it is confirmed that the pressure value is too large, the pressure of the multi-way valve can be appropriately ...

Precautions for leveling the ground with small excavators

Leveling a small excavator is one of the skills that a driver must master, and it is very important to master certain essentials of action. This article provides a theoretical basis for novices. Let's take a look at what knowledge a small excavator operator needs to have when leveling an excavator. Essentials of excavator leveling action: 1. On the land to be leveled, first visually measure the height of both ends of the ground, then find the elevation point from the high end of the ground, level it in turn towards the low-lying end, and finally dig out the soil higher than the elevation point and fill it up. In low-lying areas, it is visually level. 2. When the excavator lowers the boom, open the second arm until the angle between the boom and the boom is about 45 degrees; open the bucket so that the mouth of the bucket and the boom of the second arm are basically in a horizontal state; the bucket falls to the ground and retracts the second arm, lift The big arm pulls the soil bac...

Excavator maintenance method

Thank you very much for your question. The following is the relevant information about the maintenance method of the excavator. daily cleaning During the use of the excavator, it will be eroded by a large amount of dust, mud, sand and other impurities, which will accelerate the wear and corrosion of the machine. Therefore, in order to prolong the service life of the excavator, daily cleaning is very important. Specific methods include: Use a high-pressure water gun to clean the surface of the machine, especially the inside of the machine and the surface of the radiator. When cleaning the radiator, care should be taken not to point the high-pressure water gun directly at the radiator chip to avoid damage. After daily use, the machine should be cleaned and inspected briefly to ensure that the machine is in good working condition. Lubrication and maintenance Lubrication maintenance is an important part of excavator maintenance. Improper lubrication will lead to parts wear, oil leakage and...

Excavator service life

It is our pleasure to provide you with information about the service life of excavators. First, the service life of an excavator depends on several factors, including but not limited to the following: Use environment: The service life of the excavator will vary greatly under different use environments. For example, an excavator will last longer if it is used in a dry, clean environment than if it is used in a wet, messy environment. Maintenance: Regular maintenance and repair of the excavator can effectively prolong its service life. If maintenance and repairs are neglected, various parts of your excavator may suffer damage or wear, shortening its lifespan. Frequency of use: The frequency of use of the excavator also has a great impact on its life. If heavy work is performed regularly, the various parts of the excavator may wear out more quickly, shortening its lifespan. Generally speaking, the service life of the excavator can reach more than 5000 hours. However, the specific service ...
