Construction machinery, also known as heavy equipment, is essential in the construction industry for various tasks such as earthmoving, material handling, demolition, and more. These machines are designed to perform tasks that would be difficult, time-consuming, or impossible with manual labour alone.
Construction machinery is vital in building infrastructure, from roads and bridges to buildings and tunnels. It allows for faster, more efficient, and safer construction processes. Among these machines, we can include crawler excavators, wheel excavators, mini excavators, bulldozers, skid-steer loaders, wheel loaders, and compact track loaders.
Arena Hydraulic and Machinery can play a significant role in the construction industry by providing hydraulic components, systems, and machinery solutions tailored to the needs of construction machinery. Here’s how Arena Hydraulic and Machinery can be utilised in construction machinery:
Arena Hydraulic and Machinery is proud to offer an extensive selection of hydraulic parts for excavators, skid steer loaders, and compact track loaders. Our range includes excavators' final drives, final drive reducers/gearboxes, swing motors/slew motors, orbital motors, and duo cone seals.
Hydraulic System Repair: Construction machinery operates in harsh environments, leading to wear and tear on hydraulic components. Arena provides repair services to keep these systems operational and minimise downtime.
Preventive Maintenance: Regular maintenance of hydraulic systems, including fluid changes, filter replacements, and inspections, is crucial in construction. Arena can offer comprehensive preventive maintenance services to extend the lifespan of machinery and prevent costly breakdowns.
In the construction industry, the efficiency and reliability of your machinery can either make or break a project. The final drive is one of the crucial components contributing to the smooth operation of construction equipment. Understanding how final drives function and their significance in construction machinery can help you maintain your equipment better and ensure optimal performance on the job site.
The final drive is vital in construction machinery as it transfers power from the engine to the wheels or tracks using a gear reduction system. This is crucial for handling heavy loads and navigating rough terrain. Excavators, bulldozers, and other tracked equipment commonly use final drives for mobility and performance.
The final drive gearbox reducer decreases the engine speed and increases wheel torque. It uses a reduction gear set, such as a planetary gearbox, to provide the necessary torque and control for machinery. This enhances the efficiency and performance of construction equipment by translating the engine's power into usable motion.
The swing motor in construction machinery, such as excavators and backhoes, controls the rotation of the upper structure (the cab and boom) relative to the undercarriage. It allows the machine to swing around its axis, facilitating tasks that require a wide range of movement. Swing motors are typically hydraulic and provide precise control over swing speed and direction. They are crucial for digging, loading, and positioning operations, enabling the machinery to perform complex movements efficiently.
Orbital motors, or gerotor motors, are compact hydraulic motors used in construction machinery. They use gears to convert hydraulic pressure into rotational motion, providing high torque and efficiency in a small package. Orbital motors are commonly used in steering systems, drills, and other hydraulic-driven components due to their compact size and high-power density.
Duo cone seals are specialised to prevent fluid leaks in hydraulic systems of construction machinery. They can withstand high pressures and temperatures while ensuring a tight fit and effective sealing performance. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the machinery.
