How can veteran drivers save fuel when driving an excavator?

In fact, a very simple and efficient way to save fuel for an excavator is to reduce fuel supply and reduce engine speed. That is to say, when working, the throttle knob or lever is in a very low position. Fuel consumption will be significantly reduced, but the working speed of the excavator will also be reduced a lot. Although excavators are mostly billed based on time, it will be an extreme test of patience for drivers who earn a monthly salary. In fact, there is a trick to driving slowly like this. If you still follow the method you are used to before, it will easily cause the engine to shake seriously or even stall. A common sense thing to mention here is that most excavators work with compound movements, such as lifting the boom, retracting the stick, hooking the bucket, and rotating at the same time. The speed and strength of each action are controlled by the stroke of the operating lever. When the engine speed is at a very low speed, in order to avoid severe engine shaking and stalling, it is necessary to decompose the compound action to make a reasonable distribution of the very limited energy, and to provide appropriate buffering through the operating lever to match the low engine speed. Low power output due to rotational speed.

Once you are proficient in driving an excavator to a certain level, you will naturally get rid of the special control of your head and hands to drive the excavator. You can directly let the excavator move as you want, as if this huge iron arm is part of your body. This is probably a human-machine. Become one. The idiom “Pao Ding Jie Niu” is perfectly suitable to describe the proficiency in driving an excavator. A skilled driver can control the excavator to work lightly and continuously. When operating the operating lever with both hands, when to push forward a few minutes and when to pull back a few percent, he already has a well-thought-out idea and the force is just right. Each cylinder of the excavator and the The position of the motor movement is also exactly the same, as if it has been calculated by a computer. There will be no feeling of frustration or any unnecessary movements. Four taels makes a thousand catties, that’s it!

Good driving habits can indeed save fuel, so as long as we start from the little things around us, saving fuel is not difficult!
