Project Overview

The CLIMBER excavator is a latest model with four booms which is quite different from traditional excavator with only two. It helps a lot in promoting the height, depth and distance of its operation ability. Drivers could achieve multi-forms of grabbing work by controlling the four booms to adapt to the complex environment around. This new grab excavator working field has been extended to as much as twice of traditional one because of its retractable folding structure design. It has excellent performance for grabbing work because it can cross rivers, stretch into cavities and reach for high level areas. Besides, the cab and the grabbing arm are designed into one-piece part, so that drivers could see the object much closer and clearer. In the meanwhile, the cab can still stay level to ensure excellent user experiences. Removable driving zone. In order to protect the driver from the dangers in the construction scene. This removable driving zone is able to be removed and thus making it possible to achieve unmanned driving and remote control under severe working conditions.

Project Details

The CLIMBER excavator is a latest model with four booms which is quite different from traditional excavator with only two. It helps a lot in promoting the height, depth and distance of its operation ability.

Since the traditional excavator has a fixed operation room, so it cannot avoid some blind spots during the operation, which may increase potential risks and danger. However, the reformative excavator solved this problem by equipping itself with a flexible and movable operation room. With this modified machine, the operator can control and adjust it to clean up the dead corner to ensure safety.

Drivers could achieve multi-forms of grabbing work by controlling the four booms to adapt to the complex environment around. This new grab excavator working field has been extended to as much as twice of traditional one because of its retractable folding structure design. It has excellent performance for grabbing work because it can cross rivers, stretch into cavities and reach for high level areas. Besides, the cab and the grabbing arm are designed into one-piece part, so that drivers could see the object much closer and clearer. In the meanwhile, the cab can still stay level to ensure excellent user experiences. Removable driving zone. In order to protect the driver from the dangers in the construction scene.

This removable driving zone is able to be removed and thus making it possible to achieve unmanned driving and remote control under severe working conditions. Remote control. After removed, the driving zone can be placed in the safe zone to remote control, which adopt the newest technology such as 3D simulation, virtual reality, strengthened reality, risk analysis, GPS navigate, full-vision live broadcast and smart assisting operation. 3D simulation road conditions. It is a king of new technology which is an interactive visual system to make people feel like being in the real scene. Applied to the excavator remote operation, this system is actually a kind of simulating technology, which can simulate the inner and outer conditions of excavator and achieve remote driving. The system projects 70 million pixels simulating images and owns the floating-point calculation ability of several,Thousands of billions times per second. This new system adopts digital database to simulate the whole car. This system can help future excavator achieve remote operation. The purpose of this project is to provide more efficient, more secure building tools in the growing world construction, In essence, we subvert the people's understanding of excavators, integrate into a variety of mechanical elements, such as cranes and truck. During the research phase, we found the need of improved safety and efficiency of construction workers .Although this solution is a product design, it is based on a complete system design. We have developed a new and better excavator working system. The most important is it adds a new possible of excavator. It will be a brand new and excellent category of excavator.

Design is a rigorous process. We adopted the desktop research - Market Research - Technical Study - Plant Research -User Interviews - Several Rounds of brainstorming - Creative Proposal - Design Modify - Further Design - Modeling - Modeling Modify -- Design Test - Final Modify - Design report - End of the Project, which is the entire design process. For example, when in the research on structure, we analyze the folding mechanism of items, explore the best structure. We also have interviewed with the workers, technicians, designers and so on, and conducted experiments and tests for counterweight. We also have technology research for 3D simulation of ground conditions, such as "Renault virtual reality technology center."
