The small caterpillar excavator‘s running mechanism is a track, and the chassis is a rubber or steel track chassis. The crawler excavator has the better off-road ability, carrying capacity, and climbing ability. Generally speaking, crawler excavators can be used for soft and wet ground, such as mud, mud, swamps, and other road conditions. Compared with small-wheeled excavators, a small caterpillar excavator is more adaptable to complex road conditions. Therefore, the caterpillar mini excavator is the choice of most customers.
Wheel Excavator VS Small Caterpillar Excavator
According to the walking mode of the small excavator, there are wheel types and caterpillar mini excavators. Both types of excavators are very popular digging equipment for construction work. YG road construction machine manufacturer lists the differences between these two types of excavator equipment for you. You can choose the appropriate type of excavator according to the characteristics of your project.
| Wheeled Excavator | Crawler Excavator | |
| Load Bearing | Weak | Strong |
| Passability | Weak | Strong |
| Stability | Weak | Strong |
| Cost | Low | High |
| Fuel consumption | Low | High |
| Adapt to the terrain | Hard | Soft |
| Transition speed | Quick | Slow |
| Gradeability | Weak | Strong |
| Shock absorption effect | Good | Poor |
| Surface damage | Small | Large |
The above is a different comparison between the wheel type and the small caterpillar excavator. Due to the large contact area of the chassis of the crawler excavator, it can be used in areas with complicated road conditions such as mud and wetlands, and its other performances are relatively superior. Therefore, most excavators are now mainly crawler-based.
Advantages of Small Caterpillar Excavator
The small crawler excavator adopts engineering rubber crawlers, which can walk smoothly and flexibly and can adapt to various terrains. The control handle operates the excavator’s walking direction and digging depth. The fuselage can be rotated 360°, which is convenient for engineering operation. Since the small crawler excavator is small in size, it is not limited by the operating space, and it is often active in various large and small construction sites. Moreover, YG small excavator manufacturer is also equipped with a variety of excavator attachments (breaker, log grab, rake). You can buy a variety of excavator attachments to match a caterpillar mini excavator to realize one machine with multiple functions.
What Fields Crawler Mini Excavator Suitable For?
The small crawler excavator has the advantages of simple operation, small size and flexibility, convenient transportation, and the ability to work in small places. It is mainly used in many fields such as small earthwork and stone engineering, municipal engineering, road repair, concrete crushing, orchards, greenhouses, and garden cultivation. The small crawler excavator has many functions of a medium-sized excavator and also has many advantages such as transportation, energy consumption, and good flexibility.
