As we all know, small excavators can be used not only in farmland, but also in engineering construction or indoor operations! Its self-enlarged chassis makes the operation performance more stable, making the machine suitable for various working environments. Now small excavators can be seen in many construction sites in urban areas and rural areas, and many excavators are now driving small excavators, but is the safety knowledge about small excavators really clear?
1. Driving on soft ground
Small excavators work in various environments, sometimes not necessarily solid ground, but also swamps and river beaches. When you are not sure whether the ground can bear the weight of a small excavator, you can use a bucket to test the ground first, and at the same time small excavation Do not stay in the same place for a long time, and try to walk in a straight line without turning.
2. Blind area of sight
The blind area of vision of small excavators is believed to be known by many excavators. On the right side of the small excavator, the place blocked by the boom cannot be seen. The accidents of many small excavators are caused by casualties caused by the sweeping of the big and small arms when turning, so the excavator When working, make sure that there are no bystanders on the right side to prevent accidents.
3. Pipeline
Our China has been developing rapidly. Every city has a variety of pipelines, and many of them have no clear drawings. The excavator does not know the location and depth of the pipelines under the construction site. Therefore, excavating in urban areas requires Be careful. Generally, sand will be filled next to the pipeline when the pipeline is buried. If the soil quality changes, be careful that there is a pipeline next to the bucket.
4. Raise your arms high while walking
Some novices are not used to the slightly narrow field of vision when driving a small excavator. They like to raise the upper and lower arms to widen the field of vision. It is easy to roll over, and the excavator can be driven slowly, but safety is a must!
5. Riding on the ditch to work
When a small excavator is digging a ditch, sometimes the construction worker will tell you that the front ditch is not deep enough, and the excavator needs to ride on the ditch to dig, but the tonnage of the small excavator is placed there, and riding on the ditch is easy to cause landslides.
6. Holding the door frame when going downhill
The off-road capability of the crawler mini excavator is obvious to all. With the powerful walking system and crawler design, it is very easy to go up and down steep slopes. However, because the body of the excavator will lean forward when the excavator goes downhill, many excavator operators are used to pushing the door frame with their hands, but sometimes the door is not closed properly, and the door will open and close quickly due to the bumps, and it is easy to pinch their hands at this time.
The above information is some important safety knowledge for the operation of small excavators. We must understand that although the operation of small excavators is very simple, we should still pay attention when we should pay attention. If you don’t understand anything, you can continue to pay attention to us.
