Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate how many bucket loads are needed if a truck capacity is 12 m3 and bucket capacity is 2.5 m3 with a fill factor of 0.85. What lead to increased truck production?

💡 Hint: Remember to adjust the capacities based on their fill factors.

Question 2

A loader operates on a job efficiency of 45 mins per hour. If a truck can carry 15 m3 and the loading cycle is 10 minutes, how many truckloads can they efficiently output in 1 hour?

💡 Hint: Factor in job efficiency in timing calculations.
