A comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of wheeled and crawler excavators
Both wheeled and crawler excavators are very popular excavation equipment in construction projects, the following is a detailed introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of both, to help owners choose the most suitable equipment according to the working conditions, so that their engineering operations to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

I. Wheeled Excavator

Wheeled excavator walking mechanism for the tires, in general, choose the standard configuration of vacuum rubber tires can be, but in the high temperature environment, solid tires better performance, can cope with the harsher working environment.

Advantages: flexible mobility, convenient transfer, low cost, low fuel consumption, fast walking speed, little damage to the ground, rubber tires and shock-absorbing cushioning function;

Disadvantages: poor passing performance, poor load-bearing capacity, poor stability (but can be equipped with eight legs to improve stability);

Applicable working conditions: hard surface, such as concrete, highway, lawn.

2. Crawler excavator

Crawler excavator
The running mechanism of crawler excavator is crawler, and there are two kinds of chassis: rubber and steel crawler. Rubber tracked chassis can carry 10 tons of body, low noise, small damage to the ground, steel tracked chassis load weight is greater, large tracked excavators are basically equipped with steel tracked chassis.

Advantages: strong off-road ability, strong passing ability, strong load-bearing capacity, strong climbing ability, good stability and durability;

Disadvantages: relatively bulky, bad handling, slow walking speed, high cost, high fuel consumption, rapid wear and tear of parts, damage to the surface;

Applicable working conditions: soft and wet ground, such as mud, mud slush, swamp.

3. Wheeled excavator

There is a kind of excavator that combines the advantages of the above two kinds of excavators and is produce
