Used crawler excavator

The crawler excavator: earthmoving is his job!

Designed from a rigid chassis, the crawler excavator is equipped with a chain train, all equipment, hydraulic system, of the engine and cab are assembled on a turret oriented at 360° via the steering motor, the hydraulic rotary joint and the steering crown. (...). It is the indispensable tool for any earthworks.

Parts and equipment of the crawler excavator

The turret, technical platform of the machine, collects the thermal engine, hydraulic tank, main hydraulic pump, distributor. In the cab, the instrument panel is shifted to the right to clear forward vision. The manipulators (or joysticks) are attached to the armrests. The tiller is used to control the translation reducers.

With a single-piece boom, for excavation applications, it becomes variable-span boom when a long reach is required, for example in pipe laying. In narrow work areas, a deflection boom can be installed, allowing for working on a range of angles relative to the machine axis.

The balance wheel is at the end of the boom.  It supports equipment and allows for ground penetration and digging. It is found in short arms for heavy mining applications, long arms for lifting work or to improve digging depth, handling arms for industrial or port sorting applications.

The crawler excavator: ultra versatile

The crawler excavator is a tool carrier from 950 kg to 1 000 tonnes! The shovels on chains at their creation had only one tool: the bucket. A single tool from dozens of applications: earthmoving bucket, trenching bucket, banana bucket, PTT bucket, cleaning bucket, clear track bucket, burrow bucket, trapeze bucket or tiltable bucket, In the face of all these tools, a fast and reliable tool change system had to be designed: the quick coupler was born. Hydraulic or mechanical quick coupler, allows the operator with little handling to change the tools of his crawler excavator.

Thus, after fractionation of the rocks with a hydraulic rock breaker, the operator can equip his machine alone with a bucket to carry out the loadings of the rubble. Ultra versatile the crawler excavator is distinguished in particular in demolition with demolition clamps, sorting clamp, concrete crushers. In quarry operation, equipped with a defrosting tooth it replaces a bull with ripper.
