Recommendations for Efficient Use of Boleo Compact Excavators in Confined Spaces

When working in confined spaces, the right choice and use of a Boleo Compact Excavator can significantly improve efficiency and safety.

Surveying the Operating Environment

Measure Space

Width and height: Before starting work, accurately measure the width and height of the work area, including gates, doorways and other obstacles, to ensure that the excavator will be able to pass through these narrow openings without difficulty.

Terrain assessment: Understand the ground conditions of the work site, including hardness and stability, to ensure that the excavator can operate on stable ground and avoid working on soft or uneven ground.

On-Site Barriers

Identify obstacles: Identifies all obstacles in the work area, such as trees, buildings and underground utilities, and plans the path of the excavator to avoid collisions and damage.

Mark hazardous areas: Mark all potentially hazardous areas, such as power lines and underground pipes, to ensure that they are clearly visible to the operator and can be avoided.

Choosing the Right Equipment Configuration

Tail Swing Configuration

Zero and minimum tail swing: Choose a zero or minimum tail swing configuration to provide greater operational flexibility in confined spaces and reduce the risk of accidental collisions. The Zero Tail Swing feature prevents the rear of the excavator from coming into contact with surrounding objects.

Conventional tail swing: If there is a need to get through narrow passages or gates, a conventional tail swing excavator may be more suitable. Although they have a smaller operating range, they are easier to get through tight spaces in some cases.

Standard boom configuration: Provides maximum digging force and lifting capacity for most excavation tasks.

Long Boom Option: Increases digging depth and tipping height, reducing repositioning and making work more efficient Boleo offers a clamp-on telescopic boom option that combines power and lifting performance with extended digging depth and reach.

Increase Equipment Flexibility

Retractable Chassis

Chassis design: Boleo’s retractable chassis design allows the equipment to pass through narrow channels and then unfold while working to increase the stability and operating range of the equipment.

Width adjustment: Adjust the chassis width as needed to accommodate different operating environments and space constraints.

Multifunctional Accessory

Hydraulic crusher: Used to remove concrete and other hard materials to improve work efficiency

Hydraulic clamps: For quick cleaning and loading of materials with less manual labor

Auger: Used for digging holes and landscaping to improve the speed and quality of construction

Operational Skills and Safety

Training Operator

Professional training: Ensure that all operators are professionally trained and familiar with the operation and safety procedures of the equipment. Operators should know how to operate the equipment efficiently and safely in confined spaces.

Simulation training: Before the actual operation, simulation training is carried out to help operators familiarize themselves with the operation and response of the equipment.

Safe Operation

Follow the manual: Strictly follow the safety instructions in the equipment’s operating manual to ensure that the equipment remains balanced and stable during operation.

Regular inspections: key components of the equipment, such as the hydraulic system and the chassis, are regularly inspected to ensure that the equipment is always in good condition.

Real-Time Monitoring and Maintenance

Monitor Device Status

Digital management platform: Use Boleo’s digital management platform to monitor the operation status of equipment in real-time. Through IoT and big data analysis, potential problems can be detected in time to ensure the efficient operation of equipment.

Data analytics: Use data analytics tools to understand equipment efficiency and performance and optimize operational strategies.

Regular Maintenance

Preventive maintenance: Regular preventive maintenance, inspection and replacement of wearing parts to ensure that the equipment is always in the best working condition.

Maintenance record: Keep detailed maintenance records to track the maintenance history and performance changes of the equipment, providing a reference for future maintenance and optimization.
