Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A track-mounted loader has a rated bucket capacity of 4.0m3 and is expected to work with clay, with a fill factor of 0.7. Calculate the adjusted bucket volume and its weight if the clay has a loose unit weight of 1500 kg/m3.

💡 Hint: Remember to apply the formula for volume and weight correctly.

Question 2

Explain why it's necessary to reassess the tipping load limits when changing materials from sand to large boulders in a loader's operations.

💡 Hint: Consider how the characteristics of materials influence stability.
