With the arrival of summer, the amount of rain has also increased, making the excavators' construction environment full of challenges. As the rainy season arrives in summer, let us learn the "one, two, three" about the use and parking of excavators in the rainy season.

Careful inspection before construction is very important

1. Survey the construction area in advance. If there is too much water on the construction site or there is a risk of getting stuck, cancel the construction immediately and continue after all risks are eliminated.

2. Perform a comprehensive inspection of the excavator. Before leaving the machine, check the cab's sealing to prevent rainwater from entering the interior. Secondly, pay attention to the wear of the sealing ring on the engine oil dipstick, and then confirm whether the excavator accessories including the filter element of the air pre-filter and the wire ends of the starter are loose or rusted, and deal with the problematic parts in time to avoid the subsequent operation affected by the moisture of the starter. Finally, check the use of the generator, and avoid moisture at the line joints to affect the power generation effect.

3. Extend the preheating time of the excavator engine. Since the temperature is generally lower on rainy days, insufficient preheating time can easily cause damage to the oil pump or injector, so the preheating time of the excavator engine should also be extended.

Maintenance during construction in the rainy season is particularly critical
1. Always beware of water ingress into the power system. The power system is more easily damaged on rainy days, which may directly cause the excavator to be paralyzed. When working in water, do not tilt the excavator at an angle of more than 15° to prevent the upper part from being immersed in water, and the water depth should not exceed the center line of the crawler sprocket. Try to stop the machine before the water floods the fan blades to avoid damaging the blades and water tank.

2. If the excavator tends to sink, stop work in time. When sinking is found, find a support point in time and use the big arm to support the vehicle body to prevent further sinking.

3. After completing the work, return to the original route as soon as possible. Do not drive in other directions when driving the excavator back. At the same time, during this period, make sure that the front and rear headlights, work lights, top lights, instrument lights, wipers, etc. of the excavator are working normally to ensure driving safety.

The details of the shutdown are the secrets of excavator maintenance in the rainy season
1. Remember to turn off the main power switch. For computer-controlled excavators, the positive pole of the power cord should be disassembled in time to prevent serious damage caused by short circuits when flooded.

2. Pay attention to cleaning the parts of the excavator. Thoroughly clean the chassis of the excavator and wipe and maintain the necessary parts; check whether the drain screws are loose; wipe the places where the machine has accumulated water in time to prevent rust from affecting the normal operation of the machine.

3. Choose a suitable parking place. If conditions permit, try to park the excavator in a dry place indoors. If it is placed in the open air, the excavator should face the direction of the water with the counterweight. At the same time, pay attention to whether the fuel tank and hydraulic oil tank covers are tightly closed to avoid rainwater seeping into the tank and causing losses. Finally, stay away from possible dangerous areas such as landslides and rising rivers to ensure that the excavator has sufficient fuel and can respond to environmental changes at any time and start the evacuation.

4. Pay attention to maintenance when the machine is stored for a long time. If the excavator is to be stored for a long time, the machine should be parked on a cement floor with good drainage and covered with a waterproof cloth. Try to start the engine and operate the machine once a month on time to lubricate all parts. At the same time, make sure the battery is charged well and turn on the air conditioner for 3-5 minutes periodically to keep the equipment running normally.

> Emergency Treatment Measures For Excavators After Disasters

[ 2024-08-12 ]

Due to construction, accidents, weather and other factors, excavators will inevitably encounter some emergencies. This year's flood season, many places have suffered floods. As an important tool, excavators have played a huge role in rescue and relief.

> The Main Structure of the Truck Crane

[ 2024-06-11 ]

The main structure and design difficulties of the truck crane include the following aspects: Main structure: 1. Chassis (body chassis): includes the engine, transmission, drive axle, suspension system, steering system tires, etc., providing the driving function of the truck crane. 2. The upper part: includes the cab, hydraulic system, control system, boom and rotating support, etc., providing lifting and operation functions. 3. Boom (crane arm): usually telescopic, composed of multiple arms, telescopic through the hydraulic system to achieve lifting operations at different heights and distances. 4. Slewing support device: used to connect the upper part and the chassis, capable of 360-degree slewing operation, and improve operational flexibility. 5. Outrigger: used to improve the stability of the truck crane during operation, usually telescopic, controlled by the hydraulic system.
