Excavator Lifting Technique

Excavator Lifting Technique


For novices, hoisting is a very dangerous job. The following places to pay attention to must be remembered!


1, safe lifting to prevent slipping


There is a hook behind the general bucket. It is the safest to hoist here. Especially when the object needs to be lifted to a certain height, if the rope is hung on the tooth, it will fall easily during the lifting process. The use of hooks ensures that the rope does not slip, which is the most recommended safe lifting method.

When the object being lifted is very close to the excavator, it is very suitable to directly pick up the object with the tooth. In addition, if the distance to be lifted is not very high, it is very convenient and efficient to use the hook hook.


2, the next plate is stable, preventing rollover


Stabilizing the body is the precursor to efficient and safe work! When lifting, the excavator must stand on a horizontal stop surface; if it is necessary to hoist the object on the inclined surface, you can first dig a horizontal stop surface. The orientation of the excavator's chassis is also very important. The smaller the angle between the lifting direction and the direction of the chassis track, the safer the excavator is. The larger the angle, the more likely the excavator will tip over.

When the excavator is hoisted, it is actually a lever state. Always pay attention to the distance between the weight of the hoisting object and the center of gravity of the excavator.

The closer the hoisting object is to the center of gravity of the excavator, the safer the shovel can be, and the hoisting capacity can be maximized. The farther the hoisting object is from the center of gravity of the excavator, the greater the risk of overturning the excavator and the more the hoisting capacity of the excavator limit.


3, reasonable operation, safety first


Lifting objects should be careful not to raise too high when the lift is too high. Once the excavator has the risk of overturning, lower the boom for the first time and quickly place the hoisted object on the ground.

The last point is that when lifting, it is necessary to ensure that there are no people nearby. Before lifting, ensure that the hoisting rope is vertical to prevent collision and casualties.
