Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A front-end loader has a rated static tipping load of 10,000 kg. If it’s allowed to operate at 50% of this tipping load, what is the maximum safe load the operator can place in the bucket?

💡 Hint: Calculate 50% of the static tipping load.

Question 2

If an operator uses a bucket with a rated capacity of 3 m³ and it has a fill factor of 0.8 with a material weight of 1600 kg/m³, what’s the effective weight in the bucket?

💡 Hint: Multiply the volume by the fill factor and then by the material weight.
