Used Walking Excavators for Sale — 4

What is a Walking Excavator?

Walking excavators also known as spider excavators are construction machines that move forwards on four wheels, which are connected to the undercarriage by legs. These legs can also be used to adjust the track width and the height of the vehicle over a wide range of dimensions, ensuring that the machines remain highly flexible and can be adapted to the surrounding conditions, both in drive mode and work mode, when the stabilizers on the legs are extended. This means that they are ideally suited for working in locations such as very steep slopes or streams. Walking dragline excavators are intended for excavating large volumes of soils. The specific ground pressure while working with a walking excavator is pretty small which permits the use of walking draglines on excavating soils with low bearing capacity.

The major elements which make up a walking dragline are: support base, rotating platform, superstructure, working equipment, electrical equipment and walking mechanism. The base which is just a round steel plate is used for supporting the other components and to transmit the load to the soil.

A few applications of walking excavators in the industrial environment are listed below:

• Hydraulic engineering
• Stripping operations in the mining of coal
• Mining of rock products
• Construction of large feeder canals for irrigation systems
• Forest harvesting

There is also a huge potential to exploit the usage of walking excavators for other applications by employing different kinds of attachments depending upon the requirements.
