3. How to choose a suitable excavator chain?
1.Choose materials according to the working environment: In harsh working conditions (such as mines and gravel fields), it is recommended to choose imported brands made of alloy steel or high-carbon steel; for ordinary earthmoving projects, domestic brands with higher cost performance can be considered.
2.Pay attention to welding process: Among the popular complaints in the past 10 days, 30% of chain breakage problems were caused by welding defects. You can ask the supplier to provide a process test report when purchasing.
3.Match device model: Excavators of different tonnage have different load-bearing requirements for chains, and incorrect matching will significantly shorten the service life.
4. Sharing of real cases from users
Master Wang, an excavator driver from Hunan, reported: "After switching to SANY chain last year, the chain lasted 700 hours longer than a niche brand under the same operating intensity. Although the price of a single chain is 15% more expensive, the overall cost has been reduced."
Ms. Li, an equipment manager at a construction site in Xinjiang, said: "After comparative testing, Caterpillar chains have the best anti-brittleness performance in an environment of minus 30°C, which is especially suitable for winter construction in our northern region."
5. New industry trends in 2024
1. Intelligent monitoring chain: Some brands have begun to implant sensors to monitor wear status in real time.
2. Environmentally friendly materials: Use new alloys to reduce carbon emissions during the production process.
3. The rise of the leasing model: for short-term projects, chain leasing services are provided.
From the above analysis, it can be seen that choosing an excavator chain requires comprehensive consideration of working conditions, budget and brand services. It is recommended to give priority to mainstream brands with good reputation in the market and purchase through formal channels to obtain complete after-sales service guarantee.
