What are the Taboos of Excavator Bucket Operation?

The bucket is the most important working weapon of the excavator, and it is inseparable from all kinds of excavation operations. Many people should replace buckets many times. There are many kinds of excavator buckets, such as mini excavator skeleton bucket, 4 in 1 excavator bucket, whites digger buckets, etc. However, in the actual work process, some operators will have irregular operating behaviors, which will affect the service life of the excavator. What action will cause more damage to the bucket? What operating matters should be paid attention to?

 

 

Don't Use a Bucket to Pry Away Objects before Digging

The first prohibited operation is to use the bucket to pry objects to carry out excavation operations. For example, when the back of the bucket collides with rocks, due to the lever principle, a force several times higher than the oil pressure acts on the bucket teeth. This will prevent the back of the bucket from being easily worn and cracks on the excavator bucket teeth. This is very harmful to digging. The correct method of operation should be to let the bucket and the forearm excavate together. When a large stress is generated, the safety valve of the hydraulic system can automatically adjust the used force to a suitable range.

 

 

It is Forbidden to Use the Falling Force of the Bucket to Work.

The second prohibited operation action is to use the force generated by the falling bucket to excavate impact-type rock. If it is so violently, the bucket, boom, and car body will have a large impact load, causing relatively large damage to them, and serious It will crack. In this way, the joint between the bucket and the forearm will be bent and deformed, and cracks will reduce the service life of the bucket. Don’t think that it’s not a big deal to do less of this operation. In fact, the bucket life will be reduced by about a quarter compared to normal operation.

 

 

The Bucket is Hurt by the Rotating Object

The third prohibited operation behavior is to use the collision force of the side wall of the bucket to move objects or the rotational force to move large objects. When the bucket collides with the rock, the bucket, boom, and working device will generate a large load, which will seriously affect the service life of the excavator. Therefore, this operation is not allowed.

 

 

Precautions for Working at Height

There are many kinds of bucket teeth produced to suit for different environments, such as undercarriage bucket tooth, high strength bucket tooth, bulldozer parts bucket tooth, etc. However, when the excavator is digging at a high place, even if the bucket teeth are not inserted into the soil, it cannot be rotated, because the bucket teeth can easily hit hard rocks. This will not only cause damage to the bucket teeth, but also affect the working device. It may cause bending and deformation of the boom, thereby affecting the service life of the excavator.

 

 

The above has listed four wrong operations that damage the bucket and boom of the excavator. I hope you will pay more attention to it during the work process.
