This is what the ball is for on the back of shovels! — This is called pre-spotting. It’s to help spot the next haul truck backing in on the opposite side of where the shovel is digging! The more you know.

We're always asked what the heck that ball hanging off the back of shovels is. That is to help truck spot a shovel. It can load a truck over here and another truck can back up on the other side. So while that trouble shovel has swung over here and is loading this truck, that ball is hanging off the back here so that other truck can back back up right according to that ball. So then when the shovel swings back over here, the trucks in the right place.

The correct position for parking an excavator is B. Position B is optimal because it lowers the center of gravity and minimizes the risk of the boom or stick causing instability. This position ensures the machine is secure, lessening the strain on hydraulic components and reducing the chances of accidental damage or movement. Parking in this manner also makes it easier to perform maintenance checks and safely transport the machine if needed. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and safety protocols to ensure optimal stability and longevity of the equipment. #HeavyMachinery #SafetyFirst #ExcavatorMaintenance
