Fuel-saving tips for bulldozers - this is the key!

Today, with oil prices constantly soaring, construction machinery, a major consumer of fuel, "eats up" real money every day. How to do the most work with the least amount of fuel is a major concern for users.

In fact, fuel saving and work efficiency are not in conflict. The key lies in the details. By developing good habits in actual work, reducing fuel consumption and improving work efficiency is a very simple thing. Below, we have summarized for you how bulldozers can save fuel in actual operation.

The truly efficient earth-moving operation of a bulldozer is low speed and high load, minimizing the number of earth-moving operations and maximizing the utilization of theoretical traction force.

Channel-type earth-moving method

In the actual process, the slot-type bulldozer method can be applied: the optimal working distance for a bulldozer is 50 meters. If the distance is too long, the material pushed by the bulldozer will disperse. In this case, the principle of the groove can be utilized to make the material more concentrated.

When a bulldozer is in operation, it first pushes out a trench, then leans a little backward and uses the trench formed at the front to carry out the pushing operation. Moving backward in stages can help retain materials and improve work efficiency.

In terms of road design, the slope of general roads should not exceed 10%, and the slopes should be kept as consistent as possible. Frequent gear shifting by machines will waste time and fuel. The road surface is also an aspect of saving fuel.
