How to choose a mini excavator?

1. Quality stability

The model of the excavator is related to the weight. For example, the weight of a 30 excavator is 3 tons, but the national regulations allow 10% of the weight to float, so in fact, the floating range of a 40 excavator may be around 3 tons. In order to maximize their own interests, some manufacturers will use the 10% legal weight floating ratio to cut corners in the production process of excavators, thereby indirectly reducing the cost performance of excavators. Therefore, when choosing an excavator, we should not only look at the brand and model of the excavator, but also pay attention to their actual weight.

2. After-sale service

As long as the excavator is still in use, there will inevitably be failures. Therefore, when we buy an excavator, we must consider how to remedy the failure in advance and recover the loss in time. At this time, we must first understand the after-sales support capabilities of excavator manufacturers. How many after-sales personnel can serve the excavator at any time, whether they can help to repair the equipment, if the excavator fails, can the service personnel come to the door in time to eliminate it, etc. After all, for construction sites, especially mining operations, time is money, so whether the manufacturer’s post-service can be in place is an important factor that has to be weighed.

3. Parts Inventory

Excavator work is a high-intensity, high-risk job. During construction, many excavators often cause damage to airframe components due to accidents or malfunctions. Because of this objective problem, before buying an excavator, we must know whether the manufacturer’s spare parts storage capacity can meet the needs of all buyers. If the excavator cannot work for a long time due to the insufficient supply of spare parts by the manufacturer, the economic loss caused is undoubtedly huge.

4. Second-hand hedging rate

The excavator will become old with prolonged use. If you want to change careers or buy a new excavator in the future, consider the residual value of the second mobile phone when changing hands on the old excavator. Second-hand excavators are not cost-effective, how much is the same brand second-hand excavators worth, how well they are recognized by consumers, and whether their reputation is good or not. These are also issues that need to be considered before purchasing.

5. Operating comfort

Whether an excavator is suitable for you, in addition to the cost-effectiveness, the “feel” is also very important. For different working conditions, each excavator will operate slightly differently, just like driving a car. It’s also important to note whether it’s operating in a pattern that matches your previous driving habits. Aside from these personal daily habits, whether the vision is wide, the noise level, whether the air conditioning and electrical system are reasonable and perfect, etc. , are all “hardware” issues that need to be considered.

6. Fuel consumption

It is said that buying a car is easy and difficult to maintain, and gas money undoubtedly accounts for the bulk of the cost of car maintenance. When buying an excavator, we also need to consider fuel consumption. Due to different types of excavators and different working intensity, the fuel consumption ratio of different excavators is also different. At this time, while referring to the paper parameters of the excavator, it is best to consult other excavators in the same industry, and then compare the fuel consumption of excavators of the same type and different brands, and choose the excavator that best suits your needs.
