For
the development of heavy and light infrastructure, crawler loader is
considered to be an indispensable machinery. Its strength lies in
loading and transporting the materials but using various technologies it
is also used for grading, demolition and dozing. It is all terrain
loader as it is mounted on tracks instead of wheels which allows it to
function in rough geographical terrains. In recent times the
improvements in hydraulic excavator has costs its popularity but still
it is considered as one of the most versatile machinery for the
construction purposes.
Mechanical Operations
Crawler loader is an easy to operate machinery. It is powered by
hydrostatic pumps and motors, transmission controller, final drives with
track as an undercarriage. The driven fan provides better fuel economy,
reduces noise levels, less debris intake and reduces belt wear. The
hydro powered controls operates like hydrostatic machines, and are more
reliable and easier to service. Open center and load sensing hydraulics
adds an extra advantage to the machinery.
Applications
Crawler loader is useful in both big and small construction projects
and other industrial and municipal operations. Its utility in various
fields can be summed as follows :
- Material handling
- Construction of roads, highways
- Construction of ports
- Landscaping
- Lifting of dry solid materials
- Small demolitions
- Helps in mining operations
- Loading trucks etc.
