Requires frequent checks to ensure the functionality of the washing, the correct evacuation of the sludge, in addition to calibration and periodic verification of the scale.

WashWeighBridge®:
A single, centralized technical and operational checklist. Less waste of resources, fewer scheduled interventions, more time saved in the field.

 

3. Optimization of space on the construction site
Traditional wheel washer:
Separate spaces for weighing and washing = greater occupation of the construction site, less flexibility in operational flows.

WashWeighBridge®:
Two fundamental functions are concentrated in a single platform. The result? More space to operate, fewer obstacles, and greater fluidity in transit.

 

4. Sustainability and resource recovery
Traditional wheel washer:
Often does not integrate filtering and recovery systems, generating water waste and residues that are difficult to manage.

WashWeighBridge®:
Thanks to the integrated filtering system, it allows water to be reused up to 95%. A concrete choice towards environmental sustainability, without sacrificing effectiveness.

 

5. Long-term investment
Traditional wheel washer:
Two systems mean two investments, with separate costs for purchase, installation, management and maintenance.

WashWeighBridge®:
A single investment, two strategic functions, and a faster return in terms of efficiency, savings and performance.

In the comparison between traditional wheel washers and WashWeighBridge®, the difference is not only technical, but strategic.
In a context where time, space and resources count more than ever, choosing an integrated system means simplifying, optimising and preparing for the future.

WashWeighBridge® is not just a novelty.
It is the step forward that makes your construction site more intelligent, efficient and sustainable.

How to keep excavator equipment working as long as possible? Here are some tips on their maintenance and cleaning.

Excavators and attachments get dirty every day

We must start with the clear idea that all earthmoving equipment and attachments, as well as the guest machines on which they are installed, tend to get dirty.
Machines in the construction sector (excavators, skid steers, crawler loaders, tractors and more), but also in the agricultural sector, venture into the mud and earth every day when they dig, move in the bush and among the aggregates, also contaminating themselves with pollutants. Dirt does not stop at the external structure of the construction vehicle, but also reaches the cab, where the operator works all day: dust and debris dirty the windows, reducing the driver’s visibility.

Cleaning to keep excavator attachments working much longer

While on the one hand the Covid-19 pandemic has taught us how to behave in terms of sanitizing environments and equipment in the workplace (we also talk about it in this article), on the other hand the correct cleaning and maintenance of goods materials also benefits the latter in terms of wear. The best practice is that at the end of the day the excavator operators clear the cab of their personal belongings, clean the windows of dust, throw away the rubbish produced and clean the undercarriage with a pressure washer, freeing it from dirt, rocks and debris.
Large and compact machines need to be cleaned regularly to keep them in good working order. For example, at the end of each working day, operators of excavators and crawler loaders should take the opportunity to clean dirt, rock and debris that may have accumulated in the undercarriage.
Even attachments need to be maintained as well as the machines they’re attached to: attachments are invaluable to your work projects, because they enormously expand the capabilities of construction equipment, allowing even a small fleet to perform a large range of applications.

Tips for maintaining and cleaning excavator attachments

Usually, the maintenance of a machine or attachments involves a daily inspection, developed thanks to a specific checklist like this one. Maintenance has the objective of verifying several points:


– the presence of damage due to wear and tear on the most commonly used equipment (buckets, grapples)
– the correct installation of the equipment on the host machine
– correct lubrication of moving parts, bearings, cylinders, pins and fittings
– the presence of damage to the hydraulic connections or any interruptions thereof
– the correct hydraulic pressure
– the presence of leaks from pipes and valves
– replacement of damaged parts
– the correct tightening of bolts and other fasteners

Tecnoter attachments to reduce maintenance to a minimum

We cannot avoid suggesting also to choose robust, reliable and first quality accessories/attachments to minimize the risk of accidents and wear. This choice is fundamental: once mounted on the appropriate machine, the construction accessories can be used to increase the potential of the fleet of vehicles and of the entire company.
Tecnoter attachments are now renowned for the high degree of safety they are able to guarantee even in harsh working conditions. In the Tecnoter equipment catalog you can find auxiliary stick extensions, permanent hydraulic magnets, retrofit kits and even dust reduction systems for demolition.

Following a checklist to carry out a correct inspection of your excavator is useful in order not to skip fundamental steps and to carry out a complete check.

The excavator in construction: the earthmoving machine par excellence

Excavators, more precisely hydraulic excavators, are part of the “earth moving machines“, i.e. machines capable of excavating, transporting, loading and unloading, spreading and compacting earth and other materials. For this reason, they are used in all construction and demolition sites, but also in road construction sites and those intended for canalization.

They are self-propelled vehicles that can move on tracks, on wheels or on articulated supports, with a rotating structure (turret), positioned above the main body (chariot). The turret is the part that supports the articulated or telescopic arm of the excavator, which, integrated with different equipment chosen for different projects (such as those designed by Tecnoter), allows the excavator to transform itself into the earthmoving machine par excellence that everyone we know.

Not just construction: the excavator is a versatile machine with the right attachments

The excavator is “famous” for being a machine capable of digging, loading and unloading material in construction operations thanks mainly to the aid of the bucket, a useful accessory during these operations. However, it is a versatile equipment, useful in numerous and different production contexts, with the simple integration of various special attachments. In fact, it is also widely used for handling scrap (if a hydraulic magnet is installed instead of the bucket, for example), for handling rails and sleepers (if a hydraulic grapple is fitted), or it is still very useful during demolitions if comes with a hydraulic shear or a hammer.

With the right equipment, therefore, an excavator becomes a fundamental machine for different companies in different sectors.

The importance and versatility of this powerful machine is such that it is necessary to suggest a control and maintenance protocol that is periodic and precise, so that users (operators first of all) can guarantee its correct long-term functioning, with a reduced risk of accidents and, last but not least, to ensure that it continues to produce.

The checklist for a perfect excavator inspection

The control protocol is nothing more than an inspection to be carried out on the excavator, which concerns all its mechanical, electronic and hydraulic components. This inspection must include a check phase performed before, during and after using the excavator.

Assuming that every hydraulic excavator carries indications for its correct operation in its instructions for use, as is the case for every machine, we can divide the inspection into a series of useful steps to avoid forgetting important steps. A first useful tip that we at Tecnoter suggest is to start and finish the inspection from the same point, so as to cover all the parts of the excavator and be sure you have checked it entirely.

The perfect excavator inspection checklist includes:

Before using the excavator

  • Checking the control cabin: check the cleanliness of the control elements and handles, steps and platforms (they must be free from oil and grease), clean the glass surfaces to ensure optimal visibility for the operator
  • Verification of the work area: there must be no obstacles such as power lines along the direction of the maneuvers and the paths along the work areas must be reinforced or marked as yielding
  • Check for the presence of people: the work area must be free from the presence of people before starting the activity
    Adjusting the operator’s seat: i.e. adjusting the position of the seat and the rear-view mirrors
  • Checking the correct functioning of the controls, instruments and all the indicators, mainly the beacon, the horn and the optical units for working in the absence of lighting
  • Checking the hydraulic system and hoses
  • Checking the efficiency of the attachment of the accessory to be used
  • Signaling of work areas with possible exposure to noise levels higher than the upper action values
  • Verification of the transversal and longitudinal slope limits of the ground, so that they do not exceed the operating limits of the machine
  • Checking the presence of the operator’s station protections, use of the required PPE and fastening of the seat belt

While using the excavator

  • Closing the cabin doors
  • Signaling of operation with the beacon
  • Use of stabilizers (if present)
  • Request for help from the staff in the event of maneuvers in confined spaces or due to poor visibility
  • In the event of inactivity or momentary interruptions of work, the excavator arm must be kept at a safe distance from the workers and the control and hydraulic system locking device must be activated before getting off
  • Keeping the cabin clean and clear
  • Timely reporting of any failures or dangerous malfunctions
  • No smoking and no excavator engine running when refueling

After using the excavator

  • Positioning of the excavator and the attachments at the end of the work: i.e. lower the mounted attachment to the ground, engage the controls and hydraulic system lock, apply the brake and stop the engine
  • Closing the windows and the cabin door
  • Check around the vehicle to check the condition of the bodywork and any oil or coolant leaks
  • Further reporting of any faults and anomalies
  • Ordinary maintenance and cleaning according to the factory instructions

By following this checklist, the operator can perform a comprehensive excavator inspection that is as safe as possible.
