Jun 15, 2025

The common structures of excavators include: power unit, working device, slewing mechanism, control mechanism, transmission mechanism, traveling mechanism and auxiliary facilities, etc.

An excavator is composed of a bucket, a bucket post, a rotating arm, support feet or wheels, and a hydraulic system, etc. The buckets and buckets are hinged to the columns, and the columns are hinged to the end of the rotating arm. The hydraulic system controls the lifting and lowering of the rotating arm and its rotation in the horizontal plane through various dedicated cylinders. The barrel rotates in the vertical plane, and the legs lift, excavate, lift and dump the barrel, etc., enabling the bucket to excavate soil at a depth of 3 to 4 meters above and below the ground and unload the soil to the designated location.

The bucket capacity of an excavator is approximately 15 kilowatts depending on the power of the tractor, with each unit having 0.1 cubic meters. After unloading, it is also equipped with various working components such as buckets, multi-toothed partial crawlers or lifting hooks, as well as multiple operations, for material loading, lifting and handling.
