Push your limits with advanced challenges
A loader bucket has a capacity of 3.0 m³ and is used to load material with a filling factor of 0.85. If the material weighs 1600 kg/m³, calculate the total weight of the load and assess if it's within limits if the tipping load is 7000 kg.
💡 Hint: Think about how to calculate weight using volume and density.
If a track-mounted loader has a tipping load of 8000 kg, what is the maximum safe operating load? Discuss what factors might necessitate a lower operating load in practice.
💡 Hint: Remember the safety margins discussed.
