Why use an industrial shovel?
The hydraulic excavator is one of the essential machines on a construction site or on a production site! Also called a hydraulic mechanical excavator or industrial excavator , this machine is used in particular to carry out handling, demolition or loading/unloading operations. Capable of moving tons of materials over several kilometers in a day, it is used in multiple ways on large-scale construction sites such as for port handling operations, recycling or in the wood industry. Hydraulic excavators have many advantages and are available in many models, ranging from the mini hydraulic excavator to the heavy 60-ton excavator. Let's see how this machine can become your best ally.
How does a handling shovel work?
An industrial hydraulic excavator is presented in a fairly simple way. The chassis supports the turret, in which the driver sits, and also accommodates the side members that connect it to the movement system, most often, tires. At the front, the machine has a large articulated arm, composed of two parts: the boom and the arm, at the end of which is the grapple, the sorting or wood clamp, the grab bucket, the electromagnet , etc. The first part, the boom, is used to adjust the length of the articulated arm using one or two cylinders. The arm supports the grapple, which can, for example, pick up metals and keep them for the duration of a trip or a rotation to dump them elsewhere. Industrial excavators are therefore very versatile and can be used for multiple purposes. These hydraulic excavators are frequently used for handling, pick and carry, loading/unloading operations , in the waste recovery sector, in the wood sector and in the port and industrial environment.
How to drive a handling shovel?
The advantages of a hydraulic shovel are therefore numerous, which is why this machine must be led by an experienced driver . As with a car, it starts with a contact key. On the other hand, it does not head using a steering wheel but thanks to levers, which can act on the direction, the lengthening of the arm and the action of the accessory at the end of the pendulum . The most basic models have a lever on the right and one on the left, while others, more modern, can have more advanced functions. For example, on some models, the turret can rise thanks to an articulated arm in order to guarantee a better view of the driver, which is the subject of a particular order. If driving a hydraulic shovel may seem fairly easy at first glance, it remains nevertheless necessary to follow a training in the conduct of these devices; This program has a name: the CACES, a certificate of aptitude for safety driving. Established to reduce work accidents, this internship lasts two to five days and has a theoretical part and a practical phase.
