continuous excavator Explanation: a standard excavator often only has a single bucket on a boom arm, a mass excavator often has a continuous chain of buckets see info on: Today's excavators accept the challenges of varying operations.The standard excavator is 80 000 kg and the mass excavator is 80 300 kg. Boom length for the standard model is 8.4 m and 7.25 m for the mass version. ... http://rocktoroad.com/excavators.html |

peer agreement (net): +3An excavator purpose-built for mass excavation Explanation: Most excavator manufacturers offer machines that are purpose built for mass excavation. In fact, mass excavator sales amount to about 20 percent of the market in larger excavators, says Scott Lynch, product manager for excavators, Komatsu America International. “The boom, stick and bucket of our mass excavation machines are built for that purpose in terms of their structural integrity,” says Walker. “You can increase crowd forces by 40 percent and bucket-curl forces by 50 percent by going to a purpose-built mass-excavation front.” A purpose-built mass excavator will have a shorter boom than standard models. Such booms then are matched with shorter arms. “The reason they have a heavy arm is so they can handle a heavy-duty bucket,” says Gunn. “Plus, a mass excavator will have a heavy-duty bucket cylinder. The bucket is wider and shallower to load and dump faster. So you need a bigger bucket cylinder to load the wider bucket faster.” http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:ITEQiXT-aiYJ:www.heavyeq... http://www.ebuckets.co.uk/bucket selection.htm Mass Excavators: Massively built, they allow the use of the largest buckets in the industry by weight class. These attachments are stoutly built for power, not reach. Specifically designed for quickly loading trucks with the fewest passes Kobelco's legendary cycle times, coupled with the mass excavator's enormous buckets, drastically reduce the unit cost of moving large amounts of material http://www.kobelcoamerica.com/products/products_series.asp?R... http://www.kobelcoamerica.com/products/products_series_detai... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2006-03-26 22:37:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The English "Mass Excavator" can be used in French and German too: French : Excavator = excavatrice http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLJ,... http://photostp.free.fr/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=943&view=previ... German: "excavator" = bagger Es gibt verschiedene Kategorien von Baggern (der Größe nach sortiert): - Minibagger mit einem Einsatzgewicht von etwa einer Tonne bis 5 t, die i.A. auf Ketten fahren, - Midibagger mit einem Einsatzgewicht von etwa 6 t bis 10 t, die i.A. auf Rädern fahren, - Mobilbagger mit einem Einsatzgewicht von etwa 12 t bis 30 t, die immer auf Rädern fahren, - Raupenbagger (Kettenfahrzeug) mit einem Einsatzgewicht bis zu 900 t, die auf Raupen fahren - Kurzheckbagger bei ihm ragt das Kontergewicht beim seitlichen Schwenken nicht über den Unterwagen hinaus - Hüllkreisbagger er kann den Löffel bis über den Oberwagen heranziehen, und sich daher auf engsten Raum drehen - Schreitbagger kann über Baggerarm und Räderpaar schreiten (Laufartiges Hoppeln), ca 10 t http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excavator http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagger http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:fKgiWKfGA8QJ:www.euromac... http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:t8cKRMlwF_IJ:forum.baufo... |
