Things To Be Aware of When The Excavator Goes Up And Down

Excavating uphill and downhill is a dangerous and difficult operation for many excavator masters. In order to reduce the occurrence of accidents when excavating the excavator, it is necessary to master some operational skills.

1. Carefully observe the surrounding situation

First, the excavator must carefully observe the ramp before going up and down. It has a preliminary judgment on the angle of the ramp and the texture of the ramp, and determines whether the climbing is within the controllable range of the excavator operation. In addition, the road surface is too slippery to fit downhill.

2. Remove stones before going up and down the slope

Most excavator masters do not have the habit of wearing seat belts, but when downhill, if there is no seat belt, the handle is easy to dump forward. So be sure to fasten your seat belt downhill.

4. Up and down slopes should be facing the slope

The excavator climbs the slope directly to the slope, and it is best not to turn on the slope, which is easy to cause rollover or landslide. Whether it is uphill or downhill, remember that the cab must face in the forward direction.

When the excavator goes up and down, there is one more point to pay special attention to, that is, put the bucket of the excavator down and keep it about 20~30cm away from the ground, so that when there is a dangerous situation, the bucket can be put down immediately to keep the excavator Stabilize and let it stop sliding down.

6. Try not to park on the ramp

The excavator is best parked on a flat surface. When it is necessary to park on the ramp, gently insert the bucket into the ground, open the digging arm (about 120 degrees), and place the stopper under the track.
