5. Conclusion

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the purpose of the static tipping load?

   Hint

   Think about loader stability.

2. 2.

   What does the bucket fill factor represent?

   Hint

   Consider material types and their characteristics.

3. 3.

   What should the operating load not exceed for a wheel loader based on the tipping load?

   • 50%
   • 60%
   • 70%

   Hint

   Remember the guidelines for operation.

4. 4.

   True or False: The material type does not affect the bucket fill factor.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the variations in material characteristics.

5. 5.

   A loader has a rated capacity of 3.0 m³ and you're using clay with a fill factor of 0.7. Calculate the weight of clay it can hold if it’s 1500 kg/m³.

   Hint

   Use weight = volume x density.

6. 6.

   Design a loading plan considering a wheel loader that should not exceed 50% of a static tipping load of 9000 kg, including the different materials it will handle.

   Hint

   Calculate using fill factors for each material type.
