FAQs

YFT18 comes standard with a gear pump. Can it be replaced with a plunger pump?

Yes! It can be replaced with a plunger pump. Let us explain the difference between a gear pump and a plunger pump:

– Different Working Principles

A plunger pump uses pistons to create pressure, offering higher pressure. But, a gear pump relies on the meshing of gears, resulting in relatively lower pressure.

– Distinct Structures

A plunger pump has a complex structure with various components. For example, pistons, cylinders, and motors. On the other hand, a gear pump is simpler, comprising gears, pump body, and end caps.

– Varied Performance

Plunger pumps excel in high-pressure and high-flow applications. Making them suitable for tasks like heavy digging and fast travel. While not providing extremely high pressure, gear pumps perform well in applications requiring stable low flow. For example, excavator vibration and parallel movement systems.

 

In summary, excavators equipped with plunger pumps and a load-sensitive valve achieve superior functionality. This combination precisely regulates the pace of excavator operations for optimal performance.

What should I know about the heating system for mini excavators?

YUFAN mini excavator’s cabs are equipped with a heating system. We take ESG stragety in mind. The heating is generated using the engine’s residual heat.

The presence of heating vents is essential. The hot air would blow directly onto the driver’s face without them. It could cause drowsiness. Including heating vents allows warm air towards the driver’s legs and feet. Promoting a safer operating environment.

Given the compact space in the cab of small excavators, our installation solutions have undergone rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance and driver comfort.

What is the purpose of the hydraulic pilot valve lock?

The hydraulic pilot valve lock on YUFAN’s YFT18 control panel serves an important purpose. It helps regulate pressure and control the flow of hydraulic fluid in excavators.

This system ensures that the right amount of pressure is sent to different parts of the machinery. For example, cylinders and motors for smooth operation.

If the pilot pump fails, it can cause issues with the main control valve. As a result, it disrupts the entire hydraulic system’s function. So, it’s a critical component for keeping excavators working properly.

Can I retrofit my excavator?
Retrofitting the machine is not recommended, even for clients with modification capabilities. Alterations to hydraulic systems and oil circuits may compromise performance and void our ability to provide effective after-sales support.
What are the main parts of an excavator?

Excavator machinery parts, like the boom, arm, bucket, and engine, work harmoniously to dig, lift, and move earth effortlessly. The tracks, cabin, hydraulic system, and other components form a symphony of engineering, empowering the machine to conquer your excavation challenges.

What is the weight of the YFT18 in lbs?

The YUFAN YFT18 has an operating weight of approximately 3,968 lbs, placing it squarely in the popular 4,000 lb class.

Can a 1.8-ton excavator dig a trench for utilities?

Absolutely. With a dig depth of over 7 feet, the YFT18 is ideal for trenching, foundation work, and laying pipes.

Does it come with a Kubota engine?

Yes, we offer EPA-compliant Kubota engines for our North American clients to ensure local serviceability and high performance.
