Do you know the fuel-efficient techniques for these excavators?

2025-07-21

Driving an excavator is the same as driving a sedan, where one can pay attention to driving skills to save fuel and reduce damage to excavator parts.

1. Do not perform ineffective actions

Repeatedly excavating soil during excavator operation can result in 100% fuel consumption due to some ineffective actions. As an excavator driver, one should design the operation according to the actual construction scenario, adjust the height of the excavator operation, and try to prevent ineffective actions from occurring.

2. Do not overload

Excavators have their own load standards. Exceeding the standard load for excavation operations can cause pressure drop, fuel consumption, and prevent the excavator from being overloaded, which can save a lot of fuel. If you don't believe me, give it a try.

3. Do not idle the engine

Liugong excavator accessories will "quietly" consume fuel when the excavator is idling. For example, if a 20 foot excavator operates for 8 hours, even if it is idling for 1 hour, it will consume 20 pounds of fuel! So, never let the engine idle!

4. Reduce engine speed

When the excavator engine is operating at high speeds, the walking speed will also accelerate, and the fuel consumption will increase. On the contrary, the fuel consumption is relatively lower when the engine is running at low speeds compared to high speeds.

5. Scale of operation of imported excavator parts for controlling the boom

The depth of the excavator varies greatly with the operating scale of the boom and bucket. If the operating scale of the boom viewpoint can be adjusted to 30 degrees on the inner side and 45 degrees on the far side, it can save fuel instead of operating the boom until the end of the cylinder.

6. Reduce the hovering viewpoint of homework

Another more fuel-efficient method is to reduce the hovering angle of excavators and loaders during operation, which improves fuel efficiency by shortening the operating cycle.

7. Regularly tidy up the soil

After each completion of the project, promptly clean up the soil stuck to the walking device. If the soil is too much, it will invisibly increase fuel consumption. Therefore, excavator parts manufacturers remind operators to develop the good habit of regularly cleaning the walking soil.

8. Manipulate and excavate viewpoints

When working with a Shengang excavator, do not immediately adjust the elasticity of the boom to 90 degrees to achieve the desired effect. Although the hydraulic cylinder has the greatest force to push the excavator, the fuel consumption is also high. If you adjust the boom operating angle to around 80 degrees, the fuel consumption will be relatively low.

9. Pay attention to the excavation sequence

Do you want to know methods that save time, effort, and energy? Then remember to start working from both sides of the trench when digging, and then excavate in the middle to master the excavation sequence and easily reduce fuel consumption.

10. Segmented excavation to reduce the scale of homework

When excavating, do not think that large-scale operations from bottom to top can improve work efficiency. On the contrary, as the scale of the operation increases, the power of the excavator will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. At this time, the method of excavating in sections from top to bottom should be adopted, which can save a lot of fuel.
