When it comes to earthmoving projects, there are a lot of factors to consider in order to ensure the job is done efficiently and cost-effectively. One of the most important factors is the type of machinery you use. Using fuel-efficient machinery will save you money on fuel and running costs.
Using fuel-efficient excavators can also reduce your carbon footprint, helping to protect the environment, improve air quality, and even keep your workers safe from direct air pollution. This is especially important when it comes to earthmoving projects, as they can produce a lot of emissions and pollutants. By using fuel-efficient excavators, you will be doing your part to create a healthier planet for generations to come
Here are some other benefits of hiring from Orange Hire with their range of Kobelco fuel-efficient machinery for your earthmoving project.
Lower Operating Costs
One of the biggest benefits of using fuel-efficient machinery is that your operating costs will be lower overall. Fuel is one of the most significant expenses when it comes to ongoing heavy machinery usage, and by using a more fuel-efficient option, you can dramatically reduce costs. The latter is an even more important consideration given the continued rise in petrol prices, in early 2024, and future pricing is uncertain.
Customers that use these earth moving equipment from Orange Hire typically see savings of at least 20-30% in fuel costs. As an example, data shows that the average fuel consumption of an excavator such as SK200/210-10 is 11-12 L/hr. Other machines maintain figures closer to 15-16 L/hr in this class. As such, it’s not hard to see, over the course of a day — that’s 4 L/hr x 8 hours — customers might save 32 litres of fuel at $1.50, or $48 a day. That’s $240 a week, or around $1,000 per month in fuel cost savings.
In addition to saving money on fuel, you can also benefit from reduced maintenance and repair expenses. Fuel-efficient machines often have longer lifespans, which means that their replacement cost will be less than their traditional counterparts. Furthermore, these machines are capable of working more efficiently, allowing you to complete projects in a shorter amount of time. This not only allows you to save money on labour, but also allows you to take on more jobs.
Ultimately, hiring a fuel-efficient machine ensures greater savings over time, providing long-term advantages for your business operations.
Reduced Emissions
Using fuel-efficient machinery not only reduces emissions and is better for the environment, but it can also have a positive impact on the health of those who operate these machines. These machines produce fewer fumes, which in turn means less exposure to harmful particles and chemicals that could be dangerous to workers’ lungs. Improved air quality in work environments means better mental and physical well-being, as well as reduced fatigue levels due to increased oxygen intake.
In addition, fewer emissions reduce noise pollution, making the workplace quieter and more comfortable for workers. As such, using fuel-efficient machinery not only creates a cleaner and healthier work environment, but can also have benefits for employees in terms of improved job satisfaction and overall productivity from reduced stress levels.
