How can you stay with your excavator brother forever?

Choose the appropriate equipment

Although excavator brothers are good, not every one of them is suitable for you. No matter what project you are usually engaged in, you should carefully consider the work that the excavator needs to undertake and the working conditions it faces, and then choose a suitable excavator. The "big guys" in the excavator industry are not always the most efficient choice. Depending on your actual working conditions, the same excavator may have to undertake multiple tasks in order to maximize the output and efficiency of the equipment. The important thing is that when you are making your work plan, you should take these factors into account. The choice you are most accustomed to may not be the most suitable one

Protect key components

The selection of key components such as the excavator's chassis, axles and external tooling also affects the lifespan of your excavator. For instance, when choosing a tooling, do you know the size of the hydraulic flow it requires? Is your excavator really a good match for your tooling? Ensuring they achieve a good match can extend the service life of the hydraulic system as well as its components and fixtures. Daka also suggests that in harsh working conditions, you should pay attention to protecting the chassis and axles of the equipment. They are also an important part of the equipment's operating costs. Therefore, extending the life cycle of the chassis components can also help reduce your overall operating costs.

Carry out regular maintenance and upkeep

Regular lubrication is also very crucial for extending the lifespan of equipment and working components. During your daily maintenance and upkeep, it's best to also pay attention to the inspection of tires, commonly used tools, and whether there is any wear and tear on any other key components. If there is any leakage of liquid or abnormal sounds and noises, it should draw your extra attention.

Adjust the maintenance for extreme conditions

If your project is under extreme working conditions, you may also need to adjust the maintenance schedule to minimize the impact on your equipment. For instance, in working conditions where dust is particularly severe, you may need to replace the air filter element more frequently and use a pre-filter. Components and chassis should be given the same attention to minimize the impact of extremely hard, rough or wet materials on the equipment.
