wheel excavator

Wheeled excavators are excavators that use tires as the walking device and can be driven on the road after obtaining the qualification to go on the road.

Wheeled excavators characteristic:

• Wheeled excavators use wheels，while wheel excavator is suitable for flat hard ground.
• walking speed is relatively fast, capable of long-distance self transfer, and can quickly replace various operating devices. Flexible and highly mobile

crawler excavator

crawler excavators characteristic:

• crawler excavators use tracks(rubber or steel tracks are both available)，not allowed to drive on the road.
• Strong passability, strong strength, and easy climbing. Strong off-road performance and wide applicability.

The difference between wheeled excavators and tracked excavators

Wheeled excavators use wheels, and crawler excavators use tracks(rubber or steel tracks are both available), so the performance is different in different terrain. Crawler excavator is suitable for complex terrain, soft soil, muddy and other environment, while wheel excavator is suitable for flat hard ground.

Crawler excavator has better stability. It can work on the unstable ground, and it has stronger climbing ability on the slope, while wheel excavator has poor stability, and is not suitable for working on the unstable ground.

Crawler excavators have a wider range of work and can carry out deeper digging and higher unloading, while wheel excavators have a relatively smaller range of work.

Crawler excavator moves slowly, but it can rotate 360 degrees, which is convenient to operate in a narrow working space, while wheel excavator moves faster, but it cannot rotate 360 degrees.

Crawler excavators are larger in weight and size and require larger vehicles for transportation, while wheeled excavators are smaller in weight and size and can be transported by ordinary trucks.
