How to preserve the hydraulic system of earth moving machines
The hydraulic system of a machine determines how much weight it can load and at what speed it can operate. Therefore, it represents one of the fundamental elements for the correct functioning of a wheel loader or an excavator.
In the next video we can appreciate how, thanks to the hydraulic system, the excavator’s arm and the bucket move easily.
Operators must obtain the maximum possible performance of the machines to use them in the best way and avoid wastage of fuel.
This objective can only be achieved through the implementation of a failure maintenance and prevention strategy. The checking must be carried out daily and, in the specific case of the hydraulic system, must mainly be focused on the hydraulic oil level. The filters and oil must be changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Fuel consumption on wheel loaders, excavators, bulldozers, dumpers: technology and saving advice
Fuel is one of the basic elements of earth-moving machines. Saving fuel should be one of the main objectives of any operator, both for economic reasons but, above all, for environmental reasons.
The public works and the exploitation of quarries and mines, today, as ever, must be “sustainable”, which means that a balance is needed between the satisfaction of current needs and the well-being of future generations without compromising it.
The Bucket: the most important implement in earth-moving operations
Earthmoving works require the use of appropriate equipment. Implements, such as the bucket, the hammer, the clamp, etc., meet precise requirements, giving enormous flexibility to the machines.
Thanks to the bucket positioner it is possible to change the implement quickly, without excessive effort and in totally safe.

How to mantain the optimal state of excavators, wheel loaders, bulldozer during the winter months
In many countries of central and northern Europe, as well as in North America, the winter and first snowfalls come by surprise very often. This event influences not only our living conditions in general but also our earth-moving, public work, mines, quarries, agriculture machineries such as excavators, loaders, dump trucks, bulldozers, etc. status.
What type of tires are ideal for your machine? Bridgestone, Goodyear, Michelin and Triangle
What are the tires for machinery that give a better performance, safety and comfort to your excavator, loader or dump truck? Do you have to buy them new or second-hand? What will be the most appropriate solution for you?
In order to choose the right type of industrial tire, it is necessary to know for which machine and labor they will be used and which ground they Will work on. There are differences between radial and diagonal tires that give to the machine, a greater adaptability to some kind of work or other
