Is there a problem with my boom up excavator?
I know for instance that standard cycle time for boom up in larger excavators is around 4 seconds. If your cycle times and pressures are at factory specification there isn’t a problem with the machine. Your machine is pretty old speaking in mini excavator terms. It is also a gray market machine.
How many pounds can an excavator lift off the ground?
But, as you ease the load 5 feet off the ground, thus raising the bucket’s lift point to 10 feet, capacity diminishes to 29,630 pounds. As you swing 90 degrees, placing the pipe over the side of the tracks, capacity drops to 23,790 pounds.
How long does it take an excavator to top out?
Stretch out the stick, open the bucket and set it on the ground. Now with the engine at full throttle, snap the boom control to full up and then time how long it takes to top out. It should be about 4 seconds or less. 4.5 seconds is getting slow while 3.5 seconds is very fast.
Why is my excavator moving so slow?
The hydraulic system is one of the power systems of the excavator. If the excavator moves slowly, check whether the hydraulic system is maintained on time and whether the hydraulic oil is replaced regularly.
How does the boom work on an excavator?
Reach: The boom reach of an excavator determines how far away your excavator can dig while remaining stationary. A longer reach can slow the excavation cycle time, but may be desirable for projects where accessibility is a challenge. You can also upgrade some excavators with longer booms to extend their reach if needed in the future.

When to troubleshoot on a crane or excavator?
Troubleshooting will likely start after a complaint from the machine operator. The operator may notice that functions have become slow. Maybe it’s the boom lift on a crane, or the bucket curl function on an excavator. Perhaps winch speed or travel speed has become slow. Another potential problem is that a cylinder or motor is moving too quickly.
