Tracked Carriers Off-road Vehicles

When the power of the tracked transport vehicle suddenly drops in the process of driving, the reasons are many, and it needs to be carefully checked from each key system of the vehicle.
Fuel system failure is one of the more common reasons. The fuel filter, as an important part of filtering fuel impurities and ensuring that pure fuel enters the engine, once clogged, it is like setting a barrier on the road of fuel circulation. The accumulation of impurities will hinder the normal flow of fuel, so that fuel can not be smoothly transported to the combustion chamber in accordance with the working needs of the engine, resulting in insufficient fuel supply to the engine, and the power will decline. The normal operation of the oil pump is essential to maintain the fuel pressure, if the oil pump failure, such as internal parts wear, seal damage, etc., can not establish enough fuel pressure, so that the engine can not get sufficient fuel supply, power naturally greatly reduced.
The state of the air filter also has a significant impact on power. The normal operation of the engine is inseparable from sufficient and clean air, and when the air filter is blocked, the amount of air entering the engine will be greatly reduced. This will lead to the proportion of combustible mixture imbalance, should be fully mixed combustion of fuel and air can not reach the ideal ratio, resulting in insufficient combustion phenomenon. Inadequate combustion means that the engine cannot fully convert the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy, and power is reduced.
In addition, the internal parts of the engine wear can not be ignored. For example, the piston ring, which plays a key role in sealing the cylinder and preventing air leakage during the working process of the engine. As the use of the vehicle increases and the mileage increases, the piston ring will gradually wear out. When the piston ring is worn to a certain extent, it will cause the cylinder to leak, so that the pressure in the cylinder can not be maintained at a normal level, and then affect the working efficiency of the engine, resulting in a decrease in power. The wear of such internal parts is often a gradual accumulation process, and it is necessary to pay close attention to the operating state of the engine in daily use, and find and solve the problem in time.

When traveling in mountainous areas, improving the stability of crawler transporters is the key to ensuring safe and efficient transportation, and measures need to be taken from several aspects.
First of all, the tension of the track plays a crucial role in the driving stability of the vehicle. The track is too loose, and it is easy to slip in the environment of complex terrain and large friction change in the mountain. Skidding will not only lead to the loss of vehicle power, unable to move forward normally, but also may cause the vehicle to lose control and cause danger. On the contrary, the track is too tight will increase the friction between the track and each wheel, affect the flexibility of driving, but also accelerate the wear of the track, shorten its service life. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the track tension is moderate, and the appropriate tension can keep the track in good contact with the ground to ensure that the vehicle gets enough grip to maintain a smooth driving process.
Secondly, reducing the driving speed is an important strategy to deal with the complex road conditions in mountainous areas. Mountain roads are often rugged and may have a variety of dangerous factors such as sharp turns, steep slopes, and potholes. In such road conditions, high-speed driving will greatly increase the difficulty of handling the vehicle, and it is difficult for the driver to have enough time to react to unexpected situations. Moreover, the degree of turbulence of the vehicle will be aggravated when driving at high speed, which will not only affect the comfort of the driver, but also may cause damage to the structure and components of the vehicle. Appropriate deceleration can make the driver more calmly respond to various road conditions changes, do a good job in advance of the response measures, but also reduce the vehicle's turbulence, reduce the risk of cargo displacement caused by turbulence and even vehicle loss of control.
In addition, choosing the right tire (if available) or track pattern is also crucial to improve the stability of mountain driving. Tracks or tires with deep and wide patterns can increase friction with the ground. When driving in the mountains, the friction of the ground is an important guarantee for the vehicle to move forward and maintain stability. The deep and wide pattern can be better embedded in the ground, especially in the case of soft land, sand and gravel pavement, which can effectively prevent the vehicle from slipping, improve the grip of the vehicle, and make the vehicle more stable during the driving process.
Finally, the way the cargo is loaded has a direct impact on the stability of the vehicle. When loading goods, heavy objects should be placed at the bottom of the carriage near the central axis of the vehicle as far as possible, which can reduce the center of gravity of the vehicle. The lower the center of gravity, the higher the stability of the vehicle during the driving process, especially through curves, slopes and other sections that are easy to lead to the center of gravity offset, low center of gravity can effectively reduce the risk of vehicle rollover. At the same time, for the loaded goods, it is necessary to ensure that it is fixed firmly, to avoid moving due to vehicle turbulence during transportation, and to further ensure the driving stability of the vehicle.

When it is found that the instrument panel of the crawler transport vehicle has an abnormal indicator light, first of all, keep calm, do not panic, because panic may lead to wrong operation, leading to more serious consequences. At this time, you should immediately choose a safe place to park and ensure that the vehicle and personnel are in a safe state.
Different lights represent different fault information, which is like an "alarm signal" issued by the vehicle to the driver. For example, an engine fault light is on, which means there may be a problem with one of the engine's systems. The engine is the core component of the vehicle, its work involves many complex systems, such as sensor failure may cause the engine control unit can not accurately obtain the engine working parameters, thus affecting the normal operation of the engine; The ignition system failure will directly affect the combustion process of the engine, resulting in the engine can not start normally or run unstable. Brake system fault light can not be ignored, may be excessive wear brake disc, has been close to or beyond the service life, can not provide enough braking force; It may also be the leakage of brake fluid, which is the key medium for transmitting brake pressure. Once the leakage occurs, the pressure of the brake system cannot be established normally, and the braking effect will be greatly reduced, which seriously threatens driving safety.
After parking, the driver should consult the vehicle manual immediately. The user manual is the "instruction manual" of the vehicle, which records in detail the meaning of various indicators and the corresponding troubleshooting and solution. By consulting the manual, the driver can initially determine the cause and severity of the fault. If the driver has certain vehicle maintenance knowledge and skills, for some simple faults, you can try to troubleshoot and solve them by yourself. But if the fault is more complex, beyond their own ability, do not blindly try to repair, so as not to cause more serious damage. At this time, professional maintenance personnel should be contacted in time. When contacted, the fault phenomenon should be described in detail, including the time when the indicator light is on, the operating status of the vehicle at that time, whether it is accompanied by abnormal sound or vibration, etc., as well as the operation of the vehicle before and after the indicator light is on. This information is very important for maintenance personnel to accurately diagnose the cause of the fault. It can help them develop maintenance plans faster and improve maintenance efficiency.

Before using crawler transporters for long-distance transportation, adequate preparation is the basis for ensuring smooth and safe transportation, which needs to be considered from many aspects such as vehicle inspection, tool and spare parts preparation, and route planning.
A complete inspection of the vehicle's systems is a priority. As the "heart" of the vehicle, the power system must ensure its normal operation. Check whether the engine oil level is within the normal range, the oil not only plays the role of lubricating the internal parts of the engine, but also helps heat dissipation and cleaning. Too low a liquid level can cause increased wear and tear on engine parts and even cause failure. At the same time, to check the quality of the oil, observe whether the oil becomes black, thickened or contains impurities, if the quality of the oil decreases, it should be replaced in time. The level and quality of the coolant can not be ignored, and the coolant can absorb the heat generated by the engine and prevent the engine from overheating. Insufficient liquid level or coolant deterioration can lead to poor engine heat dissipation and affect engine performance.
The inspection of the transmission system is also important. The level of transmission oil directly affects the normal operation of the transmission, and too low oil level may lead to increased wear of the transmission gear, and even the phenomenon of stuck. Whether the transmission shaft connection is firm is related to the transmission efficiency and safety of power, if the transmission shaft connection is loose, it may fall off during driving, causing serious accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully check whether the connection bolts of the drive shaft are tight to ensure the reliability of the transmission system.
In terms of the walking system, check whether the track tension is moderate, as mentioned above, inappropriate tension will affect the vehicle's driving performance and track life. At the same time, it is necessary to check the wear of the track to see whether the track plate has cracks, deformation or signs of excessive wear, if the problem is found, the track plate should be replaced in time. For the tracked transporters equipped with tires, it is also necessary to check whether the tire pressure meets the standard. Too high or too low pressure will affect the service life of the tires and the driving stability of the vehicle.
At the same time, preparing the necessary tools and vulnerable parts is an important measure to deal with sudden failures on the way. Tools such as wrenches and jacks are essential for simple maintenance and replacement of parts. Spare track plates, fuses and other vulnerable parts can be replaced in time when the vehicle fails to avoid delays in transportation due to waiting for parts. In addition, you can also prepare some commonly used maintenance materials, such as sealant, tape, etc., in order to make temporary repairs in emergencies.
In addition, planning the transportation route is also an important preparation for long-distance transportation. Through map software, traffic information platform and other channels, understand the road conditions along the way, including the construction situation of the road, whether there is traffic control, etc., plan the detour route in advance to avoid delays due to poor road conditions. At the same time, pay attention to the weather conditions along the way, bad weather may have adverse effects on transportation, such as heavy rain may lead to water, slippery roads, affecting driving safety; Strong winds may affect the shipment. According to the weather conditions, take countermeasures in advance, such as preparing rain gear, anti-skid chains, etc. In addition, understand the rest stations along the way, arrange the rest time reasonably, avoid driver fatigue, and ensure the safety and smooth transportation process.
