When can an excavator arm be used to drive a coupe?

In modern construction, road building, river maintenance, and temporary structures, pile management has become a critical task. Traditionally, contractors have relied on dedicated handlers. However, as jobs become more diverse and budgets become more flexible, more and more companies are choosing to equip their excavators with handles.excavator drive unit(also called a hand-operated excavator handle or a hand-operated excavator handle). So, the key question is: when is it appropriate to use a hand-operated excavator?

Narrow construction site and urban interior construction: a more flexible excavator drive wing

Traditional large stack machines are difficult to obtain when building on urban roads, master plan redevelopment areas, community building or tight areas:

Narrow area and limited rotation

Inadequate bearing to support large equipment

High-altitude obstacles (wire, beam, bridge bottom structure)

In these cases, the advantage of the flexibility of the excavator's moving arm is great:

Small turning radius

Shorter working body

Low website requirements

Flexible loading and unloading and independent movement

Therefore, the digging arm is a more cost-effective option when working in tight areas or confined spaces.

Temporary and small-scale works: short construction time and lower costs

Special overhead platforms are usually expensive and not suitable for:

Small jobs

Temporary works (e.g. fencing of the site and protection of the river slope)

Works with scattered construction points

The task of the foundation of the stack with a small amount of construction

Driving an excavator + saw can:

Installed at any time, no need to rent large equipment

Can be retrofitted using existing excavators

Fast mobility and flexible planning

For projects with a short construction period, a small number of stacks and a limited budget, it is most economical to bringhand stack with an excavator.

Complex terrain and poor ground conditions: Great adaptability of the excavator's drive arms

Special overhead platforms often do not work well in the following terrain conditions:

Slope of a river channel

Roads in mountainous areas

Baloto and soft foundation

Narrow and uneven construction road

River beach, dam and fish pond

The excavator has strong chassis stability, good transportation capacity and adjustable posture, so the driveexcavator handworks better in these challenging working conditions:

Can be built on slopes

Water-like construction

Stable on uneven ground

High level of work with telescopic or extended arms

Therefore, in non-standard construction sites, a digging arm is a more suitable option.

Driving a light pile and a small and medium pile

Excavator drive arms are generally suitable for the following types of stacks:

Steel sheet stack, H-shaped steel stack, cement square stack, plastic stack/PVC stack (for river regulation), sheet stack, slope protection stack

Kupa corpus (steel pipe for the site corpus), wooden kupa and bamboo kupa

For light to medium stack foundation tasks, the efficiency of an excavator stack arm can even be comparable to that of a large stack driver.

In case of high-rise buildings or deep foundation worksexcavator handusually fully competent.

More flexible and convenient when construction efficiency requirements are not extreme

Specialized equipment must be used for large projects (such as viaducts and ultra-deep stack foundations). However, for most projects, "sufficient efficiency" is sufficient, without the high costs and complex operation of large sawmills.

The digger's arm has the following efficiency advantages:

Quick access to the site

Quick stack positioning

Fast turning speed

Short downtime

Short learning curve for drivers

In medium-strength construction, this is often the best balance between performance and cost.

While excavator arms aren't universal, they are the most practical option for most projects. Generally, the following conditions are most suitable for moving loads using excavator arms:

Narrow and limited area, small quantities, short construction period, complex terrain not suitable for large equipment, mixed multi-process construction, light or medium foundation construction task, limited project budget.

For most municipal, river, road, temporary and general foundation projects, step installationhands of steppes excavatorhas become a trend in the industry.
