Small excavator caught fire
Posted: Mar 4th, '25, 02:37
Experts say that under normal circumstances, small excavator products will not cause fires due to normal repairs. In special cases, long-term neglect, maintenance and repair are not timely. Improper operation by the driver, unauthorized electrical system modification, arson and other reasons are the main causes of "spontaneous" or other fire accidents.
According to the statistics of insurance companies, small excavator fire accidents mostly occur near the diesel engine tank or engine, as well as oil pipe leakage caused by fire, improper electrical system conversion, short circuit, etc. The proportion of accidents caused by improper use of fuses is very high. Although the possibility is small, once it happens, the economic loss of the mini excavator equipment valued at more than one million US dollars will be huge.
Therefore, prevention and control are particularly important for this type of fire accident. Experts suggest that a better way to prevent small excavator spontaneous combustion accidents is to regularly inspect and maintain small excavators to prevent such problems from occurring. First, check the engine, hydraulic and electrical systems to see if there are leaks or aging. Clean the engine system in time to ensure the engine inside and outside. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen self-service operators. Many small excavators are not equipped with fire extinguishers. In the event of an accident, the operator cannot save lives. Equipped with fire-fighting equipment such as dry powder fire extinguishers, check once a year at the local fire equipment store.
When going uphill, please pay attention to:
1. Check the slope angle to see if it is within the functional range of the excavator. If the slope is too steep, shake the material from the upper part of the slope to the lower part to reduce the slope.
2. Remove large stones. When climbing on a steep slope, rocks can also cause the track to slide, which in turn causes the excavator to move forward.
3. When climbing, please lower the center of gravity of the vehicle as much as possible, extend the arm to the head, and keep the bottom of the bucket and the slope at 90 degrees to prevent the bottom of the excavator from sliding into the excavator. Bottom.
4. Sometimes you will encounter a loose arm with the excavator climbing, and the excavator can slide down. In order to plug this situation, the weight of the small excavator can be like this: dig the shovel as deep as possible, press the power, and when the arm receives the head, do not spread it, let it tilt, the small excavator, the fireproof material moves down along the track, and the small excavator forms a pile behind the track. Don't underestimate this pile of small things, which can put the excavator down forever. When staying at the bottom of the bucket and excavator without sliding down, slowly move the arm to the head, and it should be tied in front. The deeper the better.
