Introduction
When an excavator or backhoe loader is used to lift objects, the failure or rupture of the hydraulic line can cause safety problems for people under the raised load:
threat:
This hazard can be reduced by the use of a descent control device, which ensures that in the event of a hydraulic line failure or rupture, the load is lowered:
The drop speed is controlled:
The test method is developed based on the hydraulic system design characteristics and operating conditions of hydraulic excavators and backhoes of backhoes:

Descent control device requirements and tests
1 Scope
This document specifies the performance requirements and test methods for lowering control devices installed in the moving parts of hydraulic excavators and backhoe loaders:
On the hydraulic cylinder of the boom, the intermediate boom and the stick, it is used to control the lowering speed of the boom when the hydraulic pipeline fails or breaks:
This document applies to hydraulic excavators and backhoe loaders for lowering control devices during object lifting operations (installation manufacturer
specified standard linkage): On machines that provide alternative linkages, only the standard lengths specified by the manufacturer are tested:
