Yuezhong shares: For novices operating loader buckets, what usage tips can improve efficiency?

For new operators who are new to loaders, mastering the correct use of the bucket is the key to improving work efficiency. From digging angles to unloading techniques, these practical tips can help novices get started quickly.

When shoveling material, the angle of entry of the bucket is important. It is recommended to keep the bucket at an angle of about 30° with the ground and slowly cut into the material pile. If the angle is too large, it is easy to cause the front end of the bucket to wear more; if the angle is too small, the shoveling amount may be insufficient. During operation, you can observe the depth of the bucket into the soil and gradually adjust the angle to find the most suitable entry method for the current material (such as sand, gravel, and soil). ​

The skills in the unloading process directly affect the rhythm of the operation. When unloading, the bucket should be lifted to a suitable height to avoid collision with transport vehicles or other objects. At the same time, controlling the bucket flipping speed and unloading at a uniform speed can reduce material leakage, especially when loading materials with finer particles, slow flipping can reduce dust. In addition, after unloading, the bucket needs to be returned to a horizontal state before the next operation to avoid unstable center of gravity due to bucket tilting. ​

In daily use, you also need to pay attention to the load control of the bucket. Different types of loader buckets have their rated load capacities. Novice operators tend to overload the buckets in a rush to get things done faster, which not only affects the life of the equipment but can also cause safety accidents. It is recommended to roughly judge the load capacity by observing the material accumulation height in the bucket. In the early stage, it can be calibrated with weighing equipment to develop the habit of not overloading.

It is not easy for newbies to master these skills overnight, and they need to constantly hone their feel in practice. From accurately controlling the entry angle to skillfully controlling the unloading rhythm, every operation is a polishing of details. Adhering to standardized operations can not only reduce equipment loss, but also gradually improve operating efficiency, allowing newbies to quickly grow into skilled operators in a balance between safety and efficiency.
