Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A loader has a nominal capacity of 5 cubic meters and is tasked to load different materials: sand with a fill factor of 0.9 and gravel with a fill factor of 0.7. Calculate the effective load volumes for both materials.

💡 Hint: Multiply the nominal capacity by the fill factor.

Question 2

If the tipping load for a loader is 15,000 kg and the recommended operating load is 40% of this, what is the maximum operating load? Furthermore, explain why it's important to maintain this limit.

💡 Hint: Calculate a percentage of the tipping load to find the safe operating limit.
