What are the techniques and methods for excavator loading?

Keeping the crawler level position close to the truck bed level position can stabilize the machine's center of gravity, ensure safety, and maximize operational efficiency. The positional relationship between the excavator and the dump truck is a key factor determining loading efficiency. The working radius should be controlled within a certain range to fully load the truck bed. When loading loose materials, first fill the middle section of the dump truck bed. When loading sludge, gently place materials to prevent splashing.

I have quite some experience with excavator loading. The first step is positioning - it's best to park the excavator and truck parallel to each other, maintaining a distance of about 3-4 meters. Too close risks scraping the truck bed, while too far makes operations laborious and wastes fuel. When operating, first stabilize the excavator on level ground with anti-slip foot pads. Handle the controls gently, lowering the boom slowly and letting the bucket teeth penetrate the soil pile smoothly without forceful digging that could damage the bucket. Maintain consistent speed during loading to ensure soil flows smoothly into the truck, minimizing spillage that wastes time. After loading, retract the bucket, clean residual soil particles, then signal the driver to depart. In special weather conditions like rain, operate slower on slippery ground and wear anti-slip gloves; in dry dusty conditions, prepare masks against dust inhalation. Beginners should practice slow movements to develop feel and avoid abrupt tipping. Safety first - constantly monitor surroundings for workers, operate controls with finesse, avoiding sudden jerks.

Safety is the core of loading operations, and I always emphasize this point. Before starting, first check the equipment status: Is the chain tension appropriate? Is the hydraulic pressure normal? Only proceed if everything is fine. During loading, focus on monitoring the position: Ensure the excavator and truck are parallel, and the ground is level without pits. The operation sequence should be steady: Gently lower the bucket, slowly load the soil, and avoid sudden lifting or dropping to prevent shaking. Safety details include: Sound the horn to warn people nearby to stay away, check that the truck's tailgate is closed, and park more levelly when operating on slopes. Also, prevent falling risks by wearing a safety helmet. Regularly maintain the excavator's joint components to reduce malfunctions. Remember, it's better to load slowly and accurately than to rush and cause harm to people or equipment.

When I first learned to load trucks with an excavator, I took some detours and summarized that the key is precision in slowness. Choose a parallel position, maintaining about a three-meter distance for convenient operation. Start by gently pushing the control lever to let the bucket teeth slowly enter the soil without hard impact. Maintain a steady speed during the loading process to avoid soil spillage or tipping. A common mistake is rushing, which easily leads to scraping the truck's side; beginners should not pursue speed but practice basic movements, such as fine-tuning angles to improve accuracy. After finishing, pull the bucket away and clear any debris. Adjust for weather conditions: reduce speed by half in rainy weather to prevent slipping; wear a mask on sunny days to avoid dust. Safety reminder: always watch the truck driver's hand signals and avoid distractions during operation.
