14. Productivity of Shovel

14. Productivity of Shovel

This chapter explores the principles of productivity estimation for excavators like shovels and backhoes, focusing on factors like the angle of swing and the height of cut. Correction factors are crucial for adjusting productivity evaluations based on actual working conditions compared to ideal situations, which impacts cycle time and machine efficiency. Practical examples and estimations of shovel and backhoe operations are provided to illustrate these concepts.
