Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A loader has a bucket capacity of 3.5 m³. The bucket fill factor for crushed stone is 0.75, and the loader weighs 12,000 kg empty. If the manufacturer states the static tipping load is 9,000 kg, what is the maximum allowable load for safety?

💡 Hint: Remember to factor in the safety percentage.

Question 2

Estimate how much time a loader will take if the haul distance is 50 meters, and it takes 15 seconds to fill the bucket. The maximum speed loaded is 5 m/s, and the empty trip is 8 m/s.

💡 Hint: Calculate each segment of the operation to derive total time.
