How to Choose a Municipal Pipeline Excavator? These 3 Key Parameters Determine the Efficiency of Municipal Pipeline Construction

Date: Jul 04, 2025

In municipal pipeline renovation, narrow working spaces, complex pipeline distributions, and soft backfill layers often make ordinary wheeled excavators "struggle to move forward." Choosing the right Municipal Pipeline Excavator is the core to reducing construction costs and improving safety!

When selecting a Municipal Pipeline Excavator, these 3 parameters are more important than "horsepower"

The particularity of municipal pipeline construction determines that wheeled excavators must be "small and precise":

Compact Body for Narrow Spaces

Municipal pipelines often require operations in 0.8m-wide green belts or 1.2m-narrow sidewalks. The body width of a Municipal Pipeline Excavator should be ≤1.2m (typically measures 1.5-1.8m). The Hengwang HWL40 wheeled excavator has a body width of only 1.15m, enabling flexible turning in 0.8m gaps and perfectly avoiding underground pipelines.

Low Noise + Vibration Reduction to Protect Pipelines and Residents

Pipelines are often surrounded by concrete or PVC pipes, and excessive vibration can loosen interfaces. Construction noise in residential areas needs to be <75dB (national standard is 85dB). Hengwang's Municipal Pipeline Excavator is equipped with a hydraulic buffer system, with a vibration value ≤3m/s² (6m/s² for ordinary models), and a standard low-noise engine (operating noise 72dB), meeting strict municipal standards.

Quick Attachment Change for Multi-Functionality

Municipal construction often requires switching between scenarios like trenching, crushing, and handling. A Municipal Pipeline Excavator needs to support quick-change devices (completing attachment switching within 3 minutes). The Hengwang HWL40 comes with a standard quick-change interface, which can mount 10+ attachments such as breaker hammers, grapples, and augers, reducing equipment idle time.
