1. Holding the door frame when going downhill

 

The off-road capability of crawler excavators is obvious to all. With the powerful walking system and crawler design, it is very easy to go up and down steep slopes.

 

However, because the body of the excavator will lean forward when the excavator goes downhill, many excavator operators are used to pushing the door frame with their hands, but sometimes the door is not closed properly, and the door will open and close quickly due to the bumps, and it is easy to pinch their hands at this time.

 

2. Driving on soft ground

 

The working environment of the excavator is various, sometimes it is not necessarily solid ground, there are also swamps and river beaches. When you are not sure whether the ground can bear the weight of the excavator, you can first test the ground with a bucket, and at the same time, the excavator should not keep Stay in the same place for a long time, and try to walk in a straight line without turning.

 

3. Raise your arms high while walking

 

Some novices are not used to the slightly narrow field of vision when driving an excavator. They like to raise the big and small arms to widen the field of vision. It looks good, but experienced excavators know that if the center of gravity is too high, it will be easy if there is a slight bump on the road. Overturned, excavators can drive slower, but safety is essential!

 

4. Riding on the ditch to work

 

When the excavator is digging a trench, sometimes the construction worker will tell you that the depth of the trench in front is not enough, and the excavator needs to ride on the trench to dig, but the tonnage of the excavator is placed there, and riding on the trench can easily cause landslides.

 

5. Blind area of sight

 

The blind spot of the excavator's vision is believed to be known by many excavator operators. On the right side of the excavator, the place blocked by the boom cannot be seen. Many excavator accidents are caused by the large and small arms sweeping during the rotation, causing casualties. Make sure there are no bystanders on the right to prevent accidents.
