Maintenance tips: Caring for the bucket is like caring for your own hands

How important is the bucket to the excavator? I don’t need to repeat this again. It is like a hand of an excavator, which bears the maximum load in the excavation work. It is inseparable from all kinds of excavation operations. So, how do we protect this “hand” and let it bring us greater wealth?

 

Don’t use a bucket to pry away objects before digging

Why? It’s very simple. When you try to pry an animal body, the lever principle will act on the bucket, especially the bucket teeth, with a force several times higher than the oil pressure. This is particularly harmful to the bucket teeth, and it is very easy to cause cracks and breaks in the bucket teeth, such as tearing of the front plate of the bucket or even cracking of the bucket welding seam.

The bucket and the forearm should be relatively fixed against the target, and then dragged backwards. The biggest advantage of this is that the safety valve of the hydraulic system can automatically adjust the force to be used when large stress is generated. range.

 

Avoid using the bucket to fall and impact the rock work

Imagine that if you slam it down like this, the joint between the bucket and the forearm will withstand a considerable instantaneous impact, which may cause greater bending and deformation, and severe cracks.

Don’t make it easy for a while. Using this method of work, there are enough examples to prove that compared to normal operations, such a black operation will reduce the life of the bucket by about a quarter.

 

Don’t turn around and hit the object, it will hurt the bucket too much

The third prohibited operation behavior is to use the collision force of the side wall of the bucket to move objects or the turning force to move large objects.

Because when the bucket collides with the rock, the bucket, boom, working device and frame will generate excessive load, and the use of rotating force when moving large objects will also generate excessive load, which greatly reduces the excavator Service life.

Therefore, it must be remembered to treat your bucket well, this kind of operation is also not allowed.

 

Rotating bucket teeth hitting rocks at high altitudes

Do not use a rotating way to make the bucket rub against objects laterally! This will greatly increase the wear rate of the bucket teeth on the one hand, and on the other hand, as mentioned in the previous chapter, if you encounter a solid rock during the slewing process, it will still It will affect the boom and working device pins. In the same way, when using rotation to move large objects and using bucket sidewall collision force to move objects, the probability of cracks in the frame will be reduced by 1/2 compared to the life of the frame with normal excavation.

Only cherish and important can last forever. I hope that everyone can care for the bucket like their own hands in the process of work. If you need related accessories and excavators, you can contact us for purchase.
