How to Avoid Rollover Accident During Construction of Excavator?

Rollover is one of the common accidents during excavator construction. Since the body of the excavator is light and narrow, it is more prone to rollover than the large excavator, so how to avoid the rollover of the small excavator during construction?

  1. Due to the off-road nature of the excavator, through the cooperation of the crawler and the working device, the excavator can climb steep slopes and also can easily go downhill. Everyone can easily ignore dangerous situations. When the excavator goes downhill or drives along a trailer. Many drivers will push the front windshield or door frame with their left hand and push the excavator with their right hand. Walk. At this time, if the door is open instead of locked, the door will be closed quickly due to the action of gravity, which is usually a very large force. Hands holding on to the door frame will be pinched. Very serious consequences.
  2. Therefore, when the excavator is working, there is a lock on the door of the excavator. When it is open, there is a lock. Doors must be locked whether they are open or closed. Drivers should try not to grab the door frame.
  3. You can hold the boom while walking. Many novices or apprentices think that when it comes to the boom of the excavator, the pole is fully opened and the bucket is facing the sky, so that the sight will be better when walking, and it will be very cool if walking. This method is very dangerous. Because the working device is high and the center of gravity is high, if it is slightly uneven, the ground will overturn.
  4. Therefore, don’t be calm when walking and doing homework. It’s important to be optimistic about the path under your feet.
  5. Driving on soft soil. When the excavator is working on soft soil such as swamps and river beaches, first use a bucket to test whether the ground can bear the weight of the excavator. If you forget about this process, unless you are driving an amphibious excavator, serious consequences could occur. Although the excavator is designed as a crawler excavator and has a large contact area with the ground, the excavator still has accidents in the mud during accidents!

If you get trapped while working on soft soil such as a river beach, please pay attention to the following:

  1. Try it with a bucket first.
  2. Don’t stay in one place for long.
  3. Go straight more and make fewer turns.
