Everything You Should Know About Reduced or Zero Tail Swing Mini Excavator
A reduced or zero-tail-swing excavator configuration is ideal for working in limited or restricted spaces since the machine’s counterweight profile typically extends within the machine’s tracks. A zero tail-swing excavator’s upper body rotates only within the machine’s undercarriage width. You may be able to improve your job site productivity by closely evaluating your typical job site conditions and implementing a zero-tail-swing excavator in your construction equipment fleet.
1.Benefits Of Conventional Vs Reduced Tail Swing Excavator
A conventional excavator will usually achieve the maximum digging performance among all the different types on the market. A larger tail swing equals more leverage, in effect resulting in a larger output and capacity. These types of excavators are ideal for long-reach requirements or in wide-open spaces where there are no or little amounts of obstacles. Conventional excavators are also popular as cranes to lift large weights if necessary
The reduced or zero tail swing excavators offer ease of maneuverability which reduces damage to the machine, buildings, fences and other obstructions when working closely to them. It also allows operators to use machines in confined spaces or on roadsides with minimal traffic disruption
2. What To Consider To Choose A Zero Tail Mini Excavator
In addition to understanding how your excavator will be used, review the machine’s specifications and determine what configuration can meet your expectations. It can be difficult to narrow down the specifications of conventional and reduced-tail-swing excavators, but reviewing the machine’s specifications is as fundamental to purchase as a hands-on demonstration.
Core excavator specifications that should be taken into consideration, regardless of tail-swing-type, include:
- Arm breakout force
- Engine horsepower
- Hydraulic flow
- Lifting capacity
- Maximum digging depth
- Maximum loading height
- Maximum reach, ground level
- Operating weight
3. What Kind of Attachment Could Be Used
Zero or reduced-tail-swing excavators can be just as versatile when paired with the right attachments. Popular attachments for a reduced tail swing excavator are:
- Quick hitch
- Hydraulic breaker
- Rake
- Compactor
- Hydraulic grapple
- Auger
- Ripper
- Thumb
- etc.
4. Disadvantage Of Using A Reduced Tail Swing Excavator
Efficiency
The first consideration when we decide what kind of machine to use is its efficiency. Over long periods of use reduced tail swing excavators are less efficient than conventional ones. This is because a conventional excavator can handle larger, faster loads than a reduced tail swing model. However, your decision to choose either machine should be down to the amount of access and space you have available.
Price
Another disadvantage is the price. As a general rule, zero swing excavators have a higher starting price than similarly weighted excavators. Of course, this doesn’t apply to every machine and for some projects the advantages of a zero swing will far outweigh the price difference.
Maintenance
Another disadvantage to using a reduced or zero tail swing excavator is the ability to access and maintain them if something is to go wrong. As you can imagine, manufacturers have had to try and pack what space they have available with all the machines functioning components. This, in turn, can make maintaining some models far more difficult than a conventional excavator.
Comfort
As the reduced or zero tail swing excavators are compact in design, the working cab or control space could be much smaller than the conventional ones. If the operator sits inside for a long time, it can be quite uncomfortable over time and reduces the productivity.
5. Typical Applications Of The Compact Excavators
Zero tail swing excavators are ideal for most applications within the civil engineering, utilities, construction, and landscaping industries.
- Installing pools and hot tubs. Mini excavators are the perfect solution for digging out in-ground pools or hot tubs, even in the smallest of backyards. The machine’s maneuverability and power, coupled with precision handling, make it a go-to for residential earthworks.
- Repairing sewer lines. Mini excavators allow operators to efficiently move dirt when repairing sewer lines, as well as fit in tight spots near structures. After the repair is completed, they be used to level the yard using an attachment such as a dozer blade.
- Tree installation/removal. A mini excavator can make quick work of digging holes for tree transplants, and then backfill over the root ball. With the right attachments it can remove even larger trees. A thumb grapple attachment is handy for digging up stumps.
- Demolishing small structures. Barns, sheds, or other structures can all be taken down using a mini excavator. The machine can also be used to load debris onto the back of a trailer for disposal.
- Drilling for posts, drainage or landscaping. Using an auger attachment, mini excavators can easily drill deep into soil or concrete for installing fence posts, road signage or trees.
6. Conclusion
Whether a reduced or zero-tail swing excavator is right for you comes down to the work you do. Zero-swing excavators are incredibly versatile and can often perform just as well as traditional excavators in some situations. When you need to work in a tight, narrow area they are the best choice.
