There are tricks to saving fuel for excavators on a daily basis

Avoid the engine idling

Even in the idling state, there will still be oil circulating inside the hydraulic pump and consuming fuel. Suppose that one hour of a 10-hour workday is spent idling, then if idling can be avoided, about 20 liters of fuel can be saved each month and about 230 liters of fuel can be reduced annually. During the daily loading or excavation process, if the machine is to be idle for a long time, try not to keep the excavator idling and "wait". Balancing work and rest to save more fuel is one of the tips for saving fuel with excavators.

Avoid heavy load voltage drop

When the bucket is overloaded, even if the handle is pulled to the limit, it cannot be changed. The pressure drop pattern will still occur. Assuming that there are 6 minutes of depressions in a 10-hour workday, if depressions can be avoided, 70 liters of diesel can be saved each month and approximately 840 liters annually. Everyone knows the truth that "you can't eat a big fat man in one go". If a problem can't be solved with one shovel, it can be dealt with in two steps. Otherwise, it will not only waste the machine but also consume a lot of fuel.

Reduce the engine speed

Although reducing the engine speed will affect the workload, it can significantly lower fuel consumption and improve fuel efficiency. Of course, it should be operated under the premise that it does not overly affect efficiency.

Reduce the circling Angle

Reducing the coiling Angle when loading onto dump trucks can shorten the loading time, increase the workload, enhance work efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. Many operators often overlook this point when loading vehicles.

Reduce the engine speed when walking

The faster the engine rotates, the more fuel is consumed when moving. Reducing the engine speed during operation can effectively lower fuel consumption during movement.

High-position excavation during construction

At the excavation site, occupying the higher-lying areas and then excavating the lower-lying parts can shorten the boom cycle time by approximately 12% and save 8% in fuel efficiency.
