Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A project has an excavator that can operate at a maximum height of 8 m. If optimizing for soft soil you choose 30% of that height, what is your optimum height?

💡 Hint: Use the percentage of maximum height to determine optimums.

Question 2

A truck is positioned too close and causes the swing angle to be less than 90 degrees. Explain how this can ironically reduce productivity.

💡 Hint: Consider how equipment operates in confined spaces.
