Tracked excavators, with their large ground contact area and traction, have a significant advantage in operating on complex terrain. However, even these tracked "steel behemoths" face serious challenges when dealing with mud, water, snow, or slippery, soft soil. In engineering environments such as mining, infrastructure, and industrial projects, tracked excavators (crawler excavators, track-type excavators) offer a clear advantage over wheeled equipment on soft, slippery ground.

With their unparalleled road maneuverability, rapid relocation capabilities, and relatively low ground damage, wheeled excavators have become a mobile workhorse in numerous fields, including earthmoving, municipal construction, agricultural and forestry reconstruction, and disaster relief. In mines, construction sites, roads, and municipal construction, wheeled excavators have become a common operating equipment due to their maneuverability and adaptability.

In forestry/municipal operations, lawn mowers not only face routine lawn mowing but also frequently navigate complex terrain, including rough terrain, tree roots, rocks, debris, ditch slopes, and road edges. Proper operation techniques and systematic maintenance measures not only improve efficiency and extend equipment life, but also reduce safety hazards and ensure quality work. This article will systematically explore best practices for lawn mowers from two key perspectives: "Operation Techniques" and "Maintenance," taking into account the specific characteristics of forestry and municipal environments.

At the China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition, held at the Wuhan International Expo Center from October 26-28, 2025, Yuchai officially launched the YCK20-600kW range extender assembly. This product is currently the world's most powerful and efficient integrated power generation system, marking a new era in China's construction machinery power technology. The YCK09 IE-Power second-generation hybrid powertrain, unveiled at the same time, also features seven major upgrades covering key performance indicators such as power performance, operating efficiency, and fuel economy.

Bulldozers, rollers, and motor graders are essential heavy-duty construction equipment in modern road construction. Their proper operation directly impacts project quality and safety. They play a vital role in the pavement construction process, involving earthmoving, compaction, and leveling. Proper use of these equipment not only improves construction efficiency but also ensures project quality. This article discusses the special precautions required when using bulldozers, rollers, and motor graders in pavement construction to ensure operational safety and effectiveness.

Spider cranes (also known as spider cranes), with their uniquely compact design, exceptional stability, and flexible outrigger system, have become essential equipment for lifting and hoisting in confined and crowded spaces, such as indoor renovations, historic districts, equipment-intensive factories, and courtyard operations. In industrial and mining environments, such as factory renovations, refrigeration equipment installation, and wind turbine foundation construction, limited space, narrow passageways, numerous equipment obstructions, and complex ground conditions are common challenges. Traditional large-scale lifting equipment often makes access and deployment difficult, potentially leading to construction delays and high costs.

Concrete mixer trucks (hereafter referred to as mixer trucks) and concrete pump trucks (hereafter referred to as pump trucks) are core equipment in modern construction. Their coordinated operation spans the entire concrete pouring process, from transportation to placement. For large and medium-sized projects, concrete pouring efficiency, quality, and safety are crucial. The mixer truck is responsible for transporting and mixing concrete en route to ensure uniformity; the concrete pump directly transports concrete vertically and horizontally through pipelines, completing the pouring process. This collaborative model significantly improves construction efficiency and reduces manual intervention. It is particularly suitable for projects with high concrete demand, such as high-rise buildings and large foundations. Improper coordination can lead to pipe blockage, segregation, or equipment damage, so strict adherence to operating procedures is essential.

Forklifts are essential equipment in logistics, warehousing, and loading and unloading operations. As core equipment in modern logistics and production, their stable operation is directly related to operational efficiency and personnel safety. Their working environment often involves high loads, high frequency, and complex operations, so the risk of failure is not low.

Terrain forklifts, designed for harsh terrain, are widely used in outdoor work environments such as mines, construction sites, and warehouses. Their enhanced off-road capabilities, higher ground clearance, rugged tires, and powerful powertrains make them indispensable material handling tools for these rugged environments.

With the advancement of logistics automation, manual and remote-controlled forklifts have become complementary in warehousing scenarios. Forklifts are essential equipment for industrial warehousing and logistics handling. As common types of forklifts, manual and remote-controlled forklifts each have their own characteristics and applicable scenarios. Manual forklifts rely on manual operation for flexibility, while remote-controlled forklifts utilize intelligent control for precise operation. Below, we will compare and analyze the operating precautions for these two types of forklifts from an operational perspective to help operators better understand the safety requirements and operating techniques for forklifts.
