Specification and maintenance of Sunward excavators

There are several models of Sunward excavators, and each have their unique specifications that fulfill specific needs of operations in various industries and types of work.

• Engine power: The engine power of an excavator is typically indicated in kilowatts (kW) or horsepowers (HP). This represents the output and the driving force of the engines that power the excavators' operation and function. For example, the Sunward SWE70FB mini excavator has a power rate of 48.5 kW.
• Operating weight: This is used to refer to the overall weight of the excavator as it affects stability, maneuverability and control. For instance, the Sunward SWE210FRB tracked excavator has an operating weight of 21.3 tons.
• Digging depth: This refers to the excavator's digging capability and range. It is often measured from a fixed point, such as the top of the excavator's house or the base of its work equipment, down to the vertical plain. The Sunward SWE210F has a maximum digging depth of approximately 5.95 meters.
• Reach: Excavators have the ability to extend their arms (known as the boom and stick) over horizontal planes to access and reach areas or points without having to move the entire machine. For example, the Sunward SW270Y tracked excavator has a maximum reaching distance of 9.73 m.
• Hydraulic flow rate: This is the rate or volume at which hydraulic fluid is discharged or delivered by the excavator's hydraulic system. Operating a machine with a high hydraulic flow rate can make attachments work faster and more efficiently. For example, the hydraulic system of Sunward’s SWE210F/FB excavators has a high flow rate of 165 L/min.
• Bucket capacity: The bucket capacity of an excavator refers to the size and volume of its digging bucket. It gives an indication of Earth or material volumes that the excavator can handle, dig and load in a single operation. For example, the Sunward SWE120F excavator has a standard bucket capacity of 0.43 m³.

6. Regular lubrication: Lubrication of movable and adjustable parts of the excavator must be done on a regular manner to keep it working effectively and to avoid any operational hindrances or problems from occurring.

7. Fluid level checks: Regular checking of the excavator’s fluid levels (such as fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluids) must be done to ensure it can perform its task and function without interruption and smoothly.

8. Scheduled maintenance: This means that the excavator should be regularly checked and servicing done according to the manufacturer’s specified maintenance timetable or plan. This will help ensure the machine’s performance and reliability are maintained at high levels throughout its usage.
