Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A loader with a 4.0m³ capacity bucket and a fill factor of 70% has a static tipping load of 15,000 kg. If the unit weight of the material is 1,500 kg/m³, what weight can be safely loaded in the bucket?

💡 Hint: Calculate the weight first and compare with tipping limits.

Question 2

Calculate the total cycle time for a loader operating with a fill factor of 75%, a rated capacity of 3.2 m³, and fixed cycle time of 20 seconds. If operational time per hour is 40 minutes, what is the production rate?

💡 Hint: Remember to convert units to match and apply the full formula.
