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.

A loader, excavator, dumper or bulldozer normally consumes a high amount of litres per hour for excavation, loading and moving of materials. But there are concrete possibilities to save on fuel consumption, thanks to technology and good use practices.

Technology in service of the machine for fuel saving

Machine technology is the set of tools that allow the control and verification of any malfunctions of the machine.

We take the following technology into consideration to achieve fuel saving:

  1. Use of the load detection system, as it allows the hydraulic energy to be checked automatically before and reduce consumption.
  2. Use of the fault identification system, such as the engine one which pollutes less.
  3. Use of a high-powered engine but with a lightweight casing to maximize efficiency.
  4. Setting the economic mode: with this type of instrument it is possible to reduce the machine speed and in this way, save about 6% of fuel in operations.
  5. Use of the wasted energy recovery and reuse system.

Helpful advice: how to save fuel with a few minimum requirements

Using the machine correctly saves not only fuel but also maintenance costs.

Let’s look at the suggestions of our technicians to maximize the use of the excavator, loader, bulldozer, backhoe loader etc., and at the same time reduce consumption.

  1. Organize the work in advance by studying the place, the type of work and the hours needed to complete it. It is also very important to consider the weather conditions.
  2. Be familiar with all the equipment, tools and operating system of the machine to ensure that they are used in the best possible way.
  3. Analyse and plan the movements to be carried out to avoid wasting fuel.
  4. Check the tire pressure or the condition of the chains to ensure of the full functionality of the machine.
  5. Maintain the machine, do not use it in case of breakdowns and malfunctions and, above all, always use original spare parts even if used.

With these small precautions we assure you that the machine will last longer, it will be safer and you will save on fuel consumption.

Furthermore, as previously mentioned, we recommend the use of original and used spare parts such as those available from Taop Parts, to safeguard the quality of the machine, to save money on repairs and to safeguard our Earth.
