Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A loader has a static tipping load of 10,000 kg. If you are using this loader to carry clay, which has a bucket fill factor of 80%, what is the maximum load you should place in the bucket?

💡 Hint: Think about what percentage you should use for safety.

Question 2

You have two loaders: one is a wheel loader rated for 2 m³ and another is a track loader rated the same. If both are loaded with dirt, calculate the difference in productivity based on the bucket fill factor which is 85% for wheel and 75% for the track loader. What is the productivity of each loader?

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate each loader’s effective volume after applying the fill factor.
