Zaxis 70 Fast Tracks: Usage Experience and Key Considerations
#1
The Zaxis 70 is a popular compact tracked excavator widely used in construction, landscaping, and mining. Its flexibility and high performance make it an ideal choice for precise operations even in tight spaces. The Fast Tracks, as an essential attachment for the Zaxis 70, provide enhanced traction and stability, especially when working on soft ground or rough terrain. This article shares the experience of using the Zaxis 70 with Fast Tracks and highlights important considerations.
Why Choose Fast Tracks
  1. Improved Mobility and Stability
    The Fast Tracks system significantly enhances the mobility of the Zaxis 70, especially when working on muddy or soft surfaces. Traditional wheeled equipment can easily get stuck in these conditions, whereas the tracked excavator provides better traction, reducing the chances of the machine becoming immobilized in soft ground.
  2. Optimized Work Efficiency
    Using Fast Tracks increases the machine’s efficiency in different terrains, particularly on uneven or sloped ground. The design of the tracks ensures that the excavator remains stable in complex environments, reducing the operator's workload and thereby improving overall work efficiency.
Maintenance and Care of Fast Tracks
  1. Regular Track Inspections
    Fast Tracks experience wear and tear over time, especially when operating on rough terrain. Regular inspection of the track's condition is essential. Ensure that the track tension is correct—neither too loose nor too tight, as either can cause operational issues or even lead to equipment failure.
  2. Cleaning the Tracks and Undercarriage
    During operations, tracks and the undercarriage system may accumulate mud, debris, and stones, which can cause jamming or damage. Periodically cleaning the tracks and undercarriage helps to extend the lifespan of the equipment and reduces the likelihood of malfunctions.
Usage Considerations
  1. Avoid Overloading
    While the Fast Tracks system provides increased traction, overloading the machine can still cause excessive wear to the tracks and drive system. It’s important to avoid operating the excavator beyond its rated load capacity to ensure optimal performance and prevent premature damage.
  2. Surface Adaptability
    Fast Tracks perform exceptionally well on soft ground and uneven surfaces, but on hard surfaces, it’s important to avoid frequent high-speed travel to reduce the friction between the tracks and the ground. Operators should adjust their speed based on the surface conditions to minimize unnecessary wear.
Conclusion
The Fast Tracks system for the Zaxis 70 provides excellent mobility and stability, particularly on complex terrain. However, to ensure long-term reliable operation, regular inspections, cleaning, and proper load management are crucial. With proper maintenance and sensible usage, the Zaxis 70 with Fast Tracks can significantly improve work efficiency and extend the equipment's lifespan. For users who frequently work in challenging terrains, opting for Fast Tracks is undoubtedly a wise choice.
