Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A loader with a static tipping load of 10,000 kg is operating. If a construction company plans to load the bucket with a heavy material weighing 2,000 kg/m³, what is the maximum volume of material they can load to ensure stability?

💡 Hint: Use the tipping load and consider the weight per volume.

Question 2

Calculate how many hours a loader can operate in a day if its productivity is 4,000 kg per hour and a project requires moving 20,000 kg of material.

💡 Hint: Divide total material to move by hourly output for hours needed.
