A 3-cy wheel loader will be used to load trucks from a quarry stockpile of uniform aggregates 1/8– 3/8 in. The haul distance will be negligible. The aggregate has a loose unit weight of 2,900 lb/cy. Estimate the loader production in tons based on a 45 min-hour efficiency factor. Use a conservative cycle time and fill factor.
