 1. Check track tension.  METHOD: Park the excavator on a flat, hard surface. Measure the amount of track sag (usually by stepping on it or pressing it down with a stick) at the centre of the lower part of the track plate between the guide pulley and the sprocket. Refer to the equipment operator’s manual for standard values (usually around 30-50mm for small excavators).    2. Remove foreign objects.  Focus area: around the drive wheel ring, guide wheel, carrier wheel, support wheel and the gap between the track plates.    Hazards of foreign objects: Dirt, stones, wood, metal wires, etc. will cause abnormal wear, accelerate the deterioration of rubber parts (rubber tracks), increase the travelling resistance, and even damage the seals and lead to oil leakage.  3. Visual inspection.    Track plate: whether there are cracks, breaks, excessive wear (especially at the drive wheel engagement), bending and deformation. Check for loose or missing bolts (bolt-on tracks).  Track pins/bushings: for signs of excessive wear, oil leakage (lubricated tracks), breakage.   Drive wheel teeth: for chipped teeth, excessive wear, abnormal wear (e.g. one-sided wear).    4. Lubrication (for lubricated tracks).    Importance: For tracks that require lubrication (usually with grease nipples), regular greasing will greatly reduce friction and wear between the pin and the pin bushing and extend the total life of the track.     METHOD: Every 50-100 hours of operation (or as required by the manual), use a grease gun to inject the specified grease through the grease nipples on the track links until the old grease has been pushed out of the crevices. Be sure to clean the grease nipple before greasing!   5. Cleaning.  Thoroughly clean the track system regularly, especially after working in muddy, salty or chemical-laden environments. Salt and chemicals can seriously corrode metal parts.     6. Check and tighten bolts.  Periodically check track plate attachment bolts, track guard bolts, etc. to ensure that they are tightened to the specified torque. Loose bolts can cause the track plate to shift, break or the bolt itself to break.    

In recent years, with the enhancement of environmental awareness and the promotion of the ‘double carbon’ goal, green manufacturing has become an inevitable trend of the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. As an important equipment in the field of logistics and handling the green production of electric forklift trucks has also attracted much attention. Advantages of Green Production of Electric Forklift Compared with traditional internal combustion forklift, electric forklift has significant advantages such as zero emission, low noise, energy saving and  environmental protection, which is the ideal choice for green logistics. The green production of electric forklift is not only reflected in the  environmental protection in the use of the link, but also throughout the entire product life cycle, including: Raw material selection: adopt renewable and recyclable environmentally friendly materials to reduce environmental pollution. Production process: Apply clean production technology to reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Product design: Optimise product design, improve energy efficiency and extend product life. Recycling: Establish a perfect recycling system to realise the resourceful use of waste batteries and the whole machine. Challenges of Greening Electric Forklift Production Although the greening of electric forklift production is promising, it is also facing some challenges: Cost pressure: The application of green materials and clean production processes will increase the production cost and challenge the profitability of  enterprises. Technical bottlenecks: Battery technology, motor technology and other key technologies still need to break through to further enhance the  performance and range of electric forklifts. Incomplete recycling system: the current electric forklift recycling system is not perfect, the recycling of waste batteries and the whole machine has  certain difficulties. Suggestions for Promoting Green Production of Electric Forklifts In order to promote the green production of electric forklift, it is necessary for the government, enterprises and all walks of life to make joint efforts: Government level: To issue relevant policies and regulations, encourage enterprises to carry out green production, and increase investment in green  technology research and development. Enterprises: Actively fulfil their social responsibility, increase investment in green production, research and development and production of more  environmentally friendly electric forklift products. Social level: Increase public awareness of environmental protection and encourage consumers to choose green electric forklift products.

In the process of oil and gas extraction, a large number of pipelines are needed to transport oil and gas. Small excavators can locally excavate and  adjust the pipelines without destroying the overall pipeline layout. For example, when a pipeline needs to be repaired or a part of the pipeline section  needs to be replaced, the small excavator can accurately excavate the soil around the pipeline so that the pipeline is exposed and easy for workers to  operate. For newly laid pipelines, the small excavator can dig the pipeline trench according to a predetermined route. It is able to work flexibly in complex  terrain conditions, such as mountains and hills, to ensure that the depth and width of the pipeline trench meets the project requirements and provides  a foundation for the safe laying of the pipeline. Site levelling and infrastructure construction Oil and gas extraction sites require the construction of various infrastructures, such as petrol stations, compressor stations, valve chambers and so on.  Small excavators can be used for site levelling during the construction of these facilities. It can quickly clear the site of weeds, trees and irregular terrain,  creating good conditions for subsequent building construction. After the infrastructure construction is completed, small excavators can also be used for the construction of drainage systems in the neighbourhood.  By digging drainage ditches, it ensures that rainwater and possible oil pollution can be discharged smoothly, avoiding the infrastructure from being  soaked by stagnant water or contaminated. II. Oil well field station operations Wellhead Equipment Installation and Maintenance At the wellhead of an oil well, there is a lot of complex equipment to install and maintain, such as oil extraction trees and blowout preventers. A small  excavator can assist the crew in the installation of this equipment. It can carefully excavate a suitable space around the wellhead to place and secure the  equipment. During maintenance, for some wellhead components that need to be replaced, the small excavator can help remove the old parts and  prepare for the installation of new parts. When wellhead equipment breaks down and requires emergency repairs, the small excavator can quickly remove obstacles around the wellhead so that  maintenance personnel can approach the equipment in time for emergency repairs, reducing the interruption time of oil and gas production. Tank and Vessel Cleaning Oil and gas extraction sites have a variety of tanks and containers for storing crude oil, chemical additives, and more. Over time, sediment accumulates  at the bottom of these tanks and containers. Small excavators can clean the sediments from the bottom of the tanks and containers by using special too ls on their buckets, such as crushing hammers or buckets. This clean-up is essential to ensure oil quality and storage safety. During the overhaul or modification of tanks and containers, small excavators can also be involved in digging up the surrounding soil so that these  large containers can be moved or replaced. Third, drilling operations to assist Drilling mud pool excavation and maintenance During the drilling process, a large amount of drilling mud will be generated, which requires special mud ponds for storage and disposal. Small  excavators can be used to excavate the mud pool, according to the size and depth requirements of the drilling design, to quickly and effectively  complete the construction of the mud pool. During the drilling operation, the small excavator can also maintain the mud pool, such as cleaning the silt  and debris around the pool to ensure that the mud can be circulated and processed normally. When the drilling is finished, the small excavator can assist in sealing and reclaiming the mud pool. It can clean up the remaining mud in the pool and  fill and level the pool to restore the land to its original state. Drilling Rig Spare Parts and Material Handling There are many heavy rig accessories and a large amount of construction materials at the drilling site. A small excavator can take on some of the  handling tasks, especially if the site space is limited. It can use the digging bucket to carry the accessories such as drill pipes and drill bits to the side of  the drilling rig, which improves the efficiency of the drilling operation. Meanwhile, for some small construction materials, such as cement, sand and  gravel, the small excavator can also assist in transporting them to the designated construction site.
