Excavator support wheels refer to the wheels around which the weight on the excavator chassis is distributed.
Excavator support wheels refer to the wheels around which the weight on the excavator chassis is distributed. These weights can provide stability and balance during operation, enabling the excavator to complete multiple tasks. In the following article, we will explain the role and importance of excavator support wheels, and introduce their different types of functions.
1、 The role of excavator support wheels
1. Provide stability and balance
Due to the fact that excavators typically work on unstable ground, the stability of the support wheel operator and the machine itself is crucial. Heavy duty support wheels can maintain stability while moving, allowing excavators to maintain balance at any position on the construction site without worrying about tilting or collapsing.
2. Help control direction and steering
Supporting wheels also help control and adjust the position and direction of excavators, thereby improving their operational efficiency. At the construction site, the controller can use heavy-duty support wheels for directional traffic and steering to ensure that the machine moves correctly in its path.
3. Distribution of excavator weight
The function of the support wheel is also to distribute the weight of the excavator on different wheels to increase the load-bearing capacity of each wheel. This is because the supporting wheels are far away from other wheels and can provide weight to reduce the risk of rear excavator jamming.
4. Protect the work surface
The supporting wheel also plays an important role in protecting the customer's ground or foundation on the construction site. Due to the concentration of excavator weight, pressure may be generated on the ground. If the excavator operates on unstable ground or poorly, it may cause damage. Heavy duty support wheels can distribute weight around the machine, reducing the impact on the foundation and making the construction site appear intact and undamaged.
2、 Different types of excavator support wheels
1. Rubber wheels
Rubber roller support wheels are very suitable for low-density or muddy ground because their flexibility can adapt to surface roughness. They are also easy to move because they do not leave marks or damage on the ground.
2. Rubber track
Rubber track rollers are also suitable for uneven surfaces. They are more suitable for heavy construction equipment than rubber wheels because they have a larger surface area and can carry more weight. They are also easier to control and perform better on muddy ground.
3. Metal track
Metal tracks are support wheels designed for extreme environments, such as wet soil or dusty environments. They are more evenly distributed and have a greater load-bearing capacity compared to other types of support wheels, but they may cause damage to certain surfaces and are more difficult to control.
4. Tray
A pallet is a type of support wheel connected by two railway tracks, covered with wooden boards or other sturdy materials. This type of support wheel is lightweight and easy to control, but due to its low load-bearing capacity, it is mainly used for small construction equipment.
5. Pneumatic Wheel
Pneumatic wheel is a mechanism that uses gas as a supporting wheel. Due to its lightweight and pollution-free nature, pneumatic support wheels are used for carrying high loads and large construction equipment. Some car manufacturers are also studying the application of pneumatic technology to cars and trucks to reduce their weight, save fuel, and reduce carbon emissions.
In short, excavator support wheels provide stability and balance, help control direction and steering, distribute excavator weight, and protect customers' work surfaces. Different types of supporting wheels have different advantages and disadvantages, and need to be used comprehensively according to the specific environment.
