WHAT ARE LONG REACH EXCAVATORS USED FOR?

图片
  Excavators are considered to be very important machines, especially for the construction and mining industries, as they are used to excavate large amounts of ground from the surface. There are many excavator models on the market. Each excavator has a specific configuration for a particular excavation task. One particular model that is widely used is the long boom excavator. This type of machine is designed with a   long boom , which is often referred to as an arm.   Long boom excavators are most commonly used for digging deep holes or trenches. Very often, long-arm excavators are used to digging rivers or lakes while being placed on a floating platform or barge. Some long reach excavator models are equipped with oversized counterweights designed to counteract the levering effect of the boom. When equipped with jack-ups and other similar attachments,  long reach excavators  can be used to reach high places. In addition, when equipped with a mechanical thumb att...

HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN AN EXCAVATOR?

  Proper maintenance of your excavator is essential to maximize the potential of your fleet. A well-maintained machine is less likely to break down, thus saving you time, money, and stress. In addition, proper maintenance will greatly extend the life of your excavator. Because excavators are complex machines, it can be difficult to keep up with even just one machine. Many   parts of an excavator   will eventually wear out and need to be replaced as well.   This is why most people use maintenance schedules to minimize downtime and simplify the whole process. There are usually two different ways of maintaining a machine on a regular basis. Routine maintenance is a program where the machine is sent in for regular maintenance checks. This includes replacing wearing parts such as fluids, filters,, and belts. Each machine follows a maintenance schedule that determines which parts need to be replaced and when.   1. Lubricate and clean slewing bearings and surrounding p...

3 BENEFITS OF THE LONG-REACH EXCAVATOR

图片
  A long-reach excavator is an excavator with an extremely   long arm   and bucket bar, also commonly referred to as a boom. Used for digging very deep holes and trenches, many long-reach excavator jobs require digging the bottom of a river or lake while the excavator is sitting on a barge or floating platform. Often equipped with oversized counterweights to counteract the leverage of the long boom and bucket bar, long boom excavators are also used to reach heights with hand-held auger attachments and other tools. When equipped with a mechanical thumb attachment, long-reach machines are used to lift poles, pipes, and other materials to extreme heights.   An excavator is a machine equipped with a track that has a bucket attached to the moving arm and uses a stick to dig holes and trenches. Like the backhoe on tracks, excavators are common on many construction sites. Although perfectly equipped to dig large basement holes and trenches, the excavator's digging depth is ...

HOW TO CHOOSE EXCAVATOR ATTACHMENTS?

Excavators  should not be used under any circumstances for the lifting of persons as they are primarily designed for excavating with a bucket and consequently are capable of operating speeds and movements which make them totally unsuitable for the lifting of persons.   Access to height on construction sites should be by machines designed for the purpose of lifting persons such as MEWPs, mast climbing work platforms, suspended access platforms or passenger/goods hoists, or by the use of scaffolds.   In special cases where an approach by less dangerous means is not reasonably feasible, a suitable crane with a manned basket may be used. The regulation requires lifting operations to be properly planned, properly supervised, and carried out in a safe manner, and this includes the use of earthmoving machinery for lifting operations.   Supervisors should first carry out a risk assessment, which includes ensuring that the earthmoving machinery is suitable for the task, that ...

At Glikr Machinery, we manufacture a wide range of  excavator attachments  that can be a standard part of your construction machinery or a custom one. It all depends on the type of project you are working on and the results you want, as well as which excavator attachments you need to use with your construction machinery. This week's focus is on Rippers, also commonly referred to as Ripper Tooths. all of our excavator attachments (including rippers) are perfect for the type of work the attachment will perform.   What is a Ripper? A ripper is an attachment that can be fitted to an excavator and then used to break up hard ground and surfaces, as well as rocks and difficult areas that would not initially be broken up with an excavator bucket.   Rippers are a cost effective attachment and are used extensively on construction sites dealing with structural demolition as well as preparing the ground for new framing. Rippers are also used extensively for landscape work as wel...

HOW TO DETERMINE IF THE EXCAVATOR BUCKET WILL FIT YOUR EXCAVATOR?

All the digging, trenching, scraping, and scraping work performed in an excavator is possible because of the   excavator bucket  mounted on the end of the excavator's arm. And because every action adds a little wear and tear to the bucket, the bucket always has a limited life span.   If your bucket is about to run out and you're looking for a used excavator bucket to replace it, you may be wondering what to look for in your search. To help you in your search and ensure you find the perfect replacement excavator bucket, we've put together this short excavator bucket buying guide.   Used Excavator Buckets vs. New Aftermarket Excavator Buckets If you're in the market for a  replacement excavator bucket , you'll quickly find that you have a choice between a new aftermarket bucket and a used excavator bucket. If cost is a factor, the advantages of a used bucket are obvious, and since buckets are sold for a variety of reasons, from design changes needed by the operato...

Long-Reach Excavator Advantages and Operating Guidelines

As its name suggests, the long-reach excavator   has an extended jib between the machine body and the working arm, which is powered by oil cylinder. The long arm is equipped with a set of oil cylinder operating system to provide power for the movement of the oil cylinders. All of these designs double the working range of the bucket, which can go higher, deeper and further. The great improvements make the long-arm excavator an especial digging tool for minerals, docks, storage and emergency rescue, which has great practical value.    Long Reach Arm and Boom To be specific, the long-arm digger has the following advantages:   1. Wider Applications   The long arm can work in the tough and extreme working environment where other excavators can ’ t reach. This unique advantage makes it reliable enough to handle various constructions.   2. Higher Standard   Strict technology and examination standards have been set to manufacture this machine, which guarantees...
