Question

Evaluate cost and production using a 3-cy hoe to load wet gravel into 14-cy-size trucks. Assume a bucket fill factor of 105% and that the hoe bucket swing cycle time is 24 sec. Use the information in table below, a truck net empty weight of 36,860 lb, and a rated payload of 40,000 lb. Dump time will be 1.3 min. The haul distance is 2.5 miles from the pit to the plant up a 3% grade. The rolling resistance of the haul road will be maintained at 3%. The hoe and operator cost $97 per hour, and trucks cost $49 per hour. Assume the efficiency is 60min/hr.

  • What is the truck cycle time?
  • What is the loader cycle time?
  • What is the number of trucks?
  • What is the production of the truck, if you know that the loader will control that production?
