Oil prices are undoubtedly one of the fundamental factors influencing the construction industry, especially the heavy equipment market. The price change relies heavily on the market supply-demand relationship that is likely to be negatively affected by the current market environment. To analyze the overall excavator market in the United States, we need to forecast
Hydraulic system is one of the most common parts of heavy machinery, not only excavators but also lifting equipment, mining machines, and other heavy equipment. There is no denying that the hydraulic pumping system is easy to control and helps machine owners reduce around 80% of oil consumption than pneumatic systems, however, the maintenance costs
Caterpillar 320D is known as an excavator that can maintain high performance with little fuel consumption. This is because the machine engine, 3066 ATAAC, is aftercooled and turbocharged with six cylinders. Moreover, the excavator can control the engine speed automatically according to different load conditions, which also helps the excavator reduce fuel consumption and

As winter goes by, the weather begins to get hot. Have you started to get your machine ready for the scorching weather? Storage Overheat is one of the major issues that can increase machine downtime. Hence, storage is a problem that should be considered by every machine owner. FridayParts would like to recommend you
For most hydraulic excavators, the operating speed is inversely proportional to the load during digging. However, if the hydraulic pump control system is malfunctioning, the excavator cannot work efficiently under different working conditions. Therefore it is essential to know the excavator control system from different manufacturers, such as Komatsu CLSS system, CAT electronic power control system......
Hydraulic oil leakage is a significant symptom of serious underlying issues, like weak digging force and slow-moving/working. If you find there is little oil stain/oil ring on the cylinder or the accumulation of dust or impurities on the cylinder rod, that means you are facing the problem of a leaking oil cylinder or a
