Features and Specifications
When it comes to compact excavators, understanding the features and specifications is essential for choosing the suitable machine for your needs. Here, we will explore some important aspects to consider:
DIGGING DEPTH AND REACH
The digging depth and reach determine the machine's capability to excavate and handle materials. Consider the depth and get the requirements of your specific projects to ensure the compact excavator can efficiently perform the tasks at hand.
SIZE
Size is an essential factor affecting the machine's maneuverability and suitability for different job sites. Evaluate the dimensions of the compact excavator, including height, width, and length, to ensure it can easily navigate the work environment.
MULTIPLE HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS
Compact excavators with multiple hydraulic circuits offer versatility for simultaneously operating various attachments. This feature allows you to perform numerous functions, such as digging, lifting, and utilizing additional tools, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
MOBILIZATION
Assess the mobilization capabilities of the compact excavator, including its ability to move on different terrains and across various slopes. Consider track design, ground clearance, and traction to ensure optimal performance in your work conditions.
HYDRAULICS AND ATTACHMENTS
Evaluate the hydraulic system and the compatibility of attachments with the compact excavator. Consider the hydraulic flow rate and pressure to ensure it matches the requirements of the attachments you plan to use.
DUMP HEIGHT
Dump height refers to the maximum altitude at which the machine can deposit materials. It is an important consideration when working with trucks or containers that require a specific dumping height.
OPERATING WEIGHT
The operating weight of the compact excavator impacts its stability and lifting capacity. Consider the importance of the machine to ensure it can handle the loads and tasks required for your projects.
BORE
Bore refers to the diameter of the cylinder in the compact excavator's hydraulic system. It affects the force and speed of the machine's hydraulic functions, such as lifting and digging.
NET POWER
Net power refers to the power output of the compact excavator's engine after accounting for various losses. It indicates the machine's overall performance and capability to handle demanding tasks.
SWING SYSTEM
The swing system enables the compact excavator to rotate horizontally. Consider the swing system's capacity and smoothness of operation, as it impacts the machine's maneuverability and ability to work in tight spaces.
ENGINE FUEL
Assess the type of fuel the compact excavators engine uses. This can impact operational costs, availability of fuel, and environmental considerations.
MAXIMUM GOVERNED SPEED
Maximum governed speed refers to the top speed at which the compact excavator can operate. Consider this specification if you require fast mobilization or your work environment demands quick travel between job sites.
