Five tips for crawler cranes to save fuel

Feb 22,2022

As a large-scale construction equipment, the crawler crane consumes a lot of fuel. However, in actual operation, there are still some fuel-saving tips that can save some fuel for your beloved crawler crane.

1 Reduce the weight of the vehicle

Increasing the self-weight of the vehicle will correspondingly increase the fuel consumption. Therefore, during the construction of the crawler crane, the unnecessary additional equipment on the crawler crane should be subtracted to reduce the fuel consumption without affecting the construction.

2 Increase the compression ratio of the crawler crane engine to the standard value

The compression ratio of diesel engines is generally between 16-22. The increase of the compression ratio increases the temperature and pressure of compression, which is conducive to the combustion and expansion of the mixture; the thermal efficiency of the engine is improved, the effective power is increased, and the combustion consumption is reduced.
specific measure:  

          (1) The filter should be cleaned and maintained in time to ensure that there is enough air to enter the cylinder in time.

          (2) The clearance of the intake/exhaust valve must be adjusted to the specified value. If the clearance is too large or too small, the fuel consumption will increase.

3 Correct the fuel supply advance angle of the engine

If the fuel supply advance angle is too large or too small, the fuel consumption of the engine will increase. To make the engine have good performance, the fuel supply advance angle must be calibrated.

4 Correct selection of lubricating oil for crawler crane

Lubricating oil is a key factor in whether the crawler crane engine can reduce power consumption and fuel consumption. It is necessary to skillfully select suitable lubricants according to different seasons and different construction conditions.

5 Improve the driver's driving level

A good crawler crane driver can maintain the crawler crane to the maximum extent in daily work. Secondly, in the hoisting construction, it can also complete the hoisting task according to the hoisting task, saving time and effort, and omitting unnecessary hoisting actions. Thereby saving fuel consumption.
