What is the reason for the slow movement of the excavator?
Recently, one of the hot topics in the field of construction machinery is the problem of slow movement of excavators. Many users reported that the excavator was slow and inefficient during use, which seriously affected the construction progress. This article will combine the hot content of the entire network in the past 10 days, analyze the common reasons for the slow movement of the excavator, and provide structured data to help users quickly locate the problem.
1. Common reasons for slow excavator movement

According to recent user feedback and expert analysis, the reasons for the slow movement of the excavator are mainly concentrated in the following aspects:
| Cause classification | Specific performance | possible impact |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic system problems | Hydraulic oil contamination, oil pump wear, valve core stuck | Sluggish and weak movements |
| engine failure | Insufficient power and clogged fuel system | Decreased overall power |
| Improper operation | The throttle is not opened to the maximum and the mode selection is wrong. | Slow action response |
| electrical system problems | Sensor failure, line aging | Control system failure |
| Mechanical parts wear | Track, bearing, gear wear | Transmission efficiency reduced |
2. Detailed analysis of hydraulic system problems
The hydraulic system is the core of the excavator's movement, and its problems account for more than 60% of the reasons for the slow movement of the excavator. The following is structured data for frequently asked questions about hydraulic systems:
| Question type | Detection method | solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic oil contamination | Observe oil color and detect impurity content | Replace hydraulic oil and filter elements |
| Oil pump wear | Stress testing, noise testing | Repair or replace oil pump |
| Valve core stuck | Action test, disassembly inspection | Clean or replace valve core |
| Pipe leaks | Pressure testing, visual inspection | Replace seals or lines |
3. Troubleshooting methods for engine faults
Insufficient engine power will directly affect the speed of the excavator. The following is the troubleshooting process for engine faults:
1.Check the fuel system:Check whether the fuel filter is clogged and whether the fuel pump is working properly.
2.Check the air filter:Clean or replace the air filter to ensure smooth air intake.
3.Check the turbocharger:If equipped with a turbocharger, check that it is functioning properly.
4.Engine diagnostics:Use a diagnostic tool to read fault codes and make targeted repairs.
4. Operation precautions
Many excavator slow-moving problems are caused by improper operation. The following are common operating misunderstandings:
| Operation misunderstanding | Correct operation |
|---|---|
| Not opening the throttle to the maximum | When working, the throttle should be opened to the maximum power position |
| Wrong working mode selected | Choose the appropriate working mode according to the working conditions |
| Improper operation of compound movements | Avoid insufficient power distribution caused by operating multiple actions at the same time |
5. Preventive maintenance suggestions
In order to avoid the problem of slow excavator movement, it is recommended to take the following preventive measures:
1.Regularly replace hydraulic oil and filter elements:It is recommended to change the hydraulic oil every 2000 working hours.
2.Keep your fuel system clean:Drain water regularly and replace fuel filter.
3.Check the electrical system:Regularly check the sensor and line connection status.
4.Lubrication and maintenance:Add grease to each lubrication point on time.
5.Operation training:Ensure that operators are familiar with equipment performance and correct operation methods.
6. Summary
There are many reasons why the excavator moves slowly, and systematic troubleshooting needs to be carried out based on the specific performance. Through the structured data analysis of this article, users can solve problems in a more targeted manner. It is recommended to give priority to checking the status of the hydraulic system and engine, pay attention to operating specifications, and perform regular maintenance to ensure that the excavator is always in optimal working condition.
