Whether you are a construction contractor or a farmer, the excavator is something that always stays on your equipment list, diesel excavators have been served the industry for several decades, and no doubt that they helped to build the modern world, in fact, they are still the mainstream industrial machines that were deployed in many fields.
However, with the development of energy technology, more and more electric equipment is launched into the market, we listed three main advantages of electric excavators, giving you three reasons why you should go for the electric.
First, energy saving and emission reduction. The front-end working device of the hydraulic excavator and the electric excavator, the slewing device of the upper rotating body, and the walking device of the lower walking body are all driven by electricity. The power supply is provided by the external wires of the car body and controlled by the internal control device of the car body. While ensuring high operating efficiency, it reduces operating costs and achieves zero exhaust emissions.
Second, when working in tunnels and other places with flammable and explosive gases, electric excavators have an advantage in that fuel-based excavators do not have safety. Fuel-fuel excavators have hidden dangers of detonation. At the same time, due to the poor air circulation and dust in the tunnel, the service life of the engine is likely to be greatly reduced.
Third, it is helpful for intelligent upgrading. More than half of the core technology in fuel-based excavators is dealing with the sequelae caused by the engine, and this type of technology occupies a large number of manufacturing costs, which deteriorates the working environment and prevents many more advanced technologies from being used on excavators. After the excavator is electrified, it will accelerate the development of the excavator to intelligence and informationization, and it will be a qualitative leap for the development of the excavator.
