What is the hardest thing to dig with an excavator? Analysis of hot topics and hot content across the entire network
In the past 10 days, discussions around excavators (excavators) have continued to be hot on the Internet, especially the topic of "what is the most difficult thing to dig with an excavator?" has attracted widespread attention. This article combines hotspot data from the entire network and user discussions to analyze the difficulties in excavator operations, and attaches structured data for reference.
1. Ranking of hot topics on the entire network in the past 10 days

| Ranking | Topic keywords | Number of discussions (10,000) | Platform popularity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Excavator digs frozen soil | 12.5 | Douyin, Kuaishou |
| 2 | Excavator digs rock formations | 9.8 | Baidu Tieba, Zhihu |
| 3 | Underwater excavator operation | 7.2 | Station B, Xigua Video |
| 4 | Excavator digs asphalt road | 5.6 | Weibo, Toutiao |
| 5 | Narrow space excavator operation | 4.3 | Zhihu, Douyin |
2. Analysis of TOP5 Difficulties in Excavator Operations
1. Frozen soil excavation: the “hard bone” of winter construction
According to the Construction Machinery Association, the hardness of frozen soil can reach 3-5 times that of ordinary soil, and special buckets are required. Actual measurements at a construction site in Northeast China show that in a -20°C environment, excavation efficiency per hour is reduced by 60%.
| Difficulty | solution | Equipment loss rate |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic system low temperature failure | Install preheating device | 35% increase |
| Bucket is severely worn | Use tungsten steel tooth bucket | 50% increase |
2. Rock layer excavation: testing the limits of equipment
Hard rock formations such as granite require blasting assistance. A popular Douyin video shows that the excavator breaker at a construction site needs to be replaced after working continuously for 4 hours.
3. Underwater operations: invisible challenges
Data from a certain channel dredging project in the Yangtze River show that when underwater visibility is zero, the operational error rate increases by 300%, requiring reliance on sonar positioning systems.
3. The five working conditions that operators are most afraid of encountering
| Working condition type | Risk factor | typical accident |
|---|---|---|
| Slope operation (>30°) | ★★★★★ | Rollover accidents accounted for 42% |
| underground pipeline area | ★★★★ | Pipe burst accidents accounted for 28% |
| quicksand geology | ★★★☆ | Plane trap accidents account for 17% |
4. New breakthroughs in industry technology
Data released recently at the Shanghai Construction Machinery Exhibition shows that the new smart excavator can automatically identify the geological hardness and adjust excavation parameters through the pressure sensing system. In a demonstration by a certain brand, rock excavation efficiency increased by 40%.
| Technical name | Applicable scenarios | Efficiency improvement |
|---|---|---|
| Intelligent resistance adjustment | mixed formation | 25-35% |
| 3D positioning system | Underwater work | 40% |
5. The 5 issues that users are most concerned about
According to Zhihu hot posts: ① How to judge geological hardness? ②Extreme weather protection measures? ③Which bucket is the most durable? ④ Fuel-saving operation tips? ⑤Key points for purchasing second-hand excavators? Among them, the topic "Frozen Soil Excavation Techniques" has been read more than 1.2 million times.
Conclusion: With the development of engineering technology, the answer to "what is the most difficult thing to dig with an excavator" is constantly being refreshed. It is recommended that practitioners continue to pay attention to new technologies, and at the same time, safety operations must be given top priority.
