Some jobs report more wear and tear than others for our machine, specifically for the tracks and undercarriage of excavators, so it is important to have good practices that help us to respect the degradation of the undercarriage and the machine in general.
It is important to perform a full undercarriage inspection to spot excessive or uneven wear, as well as look for damaged or missing components. If the machine is used in difficult applications or other harsher weather conditions, the undercarriage may need to be inspected more often.
In addition, an improper cleaning of our excavator’s chain can increase fuel consumption and even put the integrity of the construction personnel at risk and our own.
With these tips, you can get better performance and life out of the undercarriage of your excavator.
- Always keep the undercarriage clean
- Check the undercarriage components daily
- Good practices means correct operation
- Proper track tensioning
