LOADER AND TRUCK MATCH CAN BE CALCULATED

CALCULATIONS ON HOW CONTRACTORS SHOULD MATCH A LOADER AND A TRUCK ARE PRESENTED TO AID IN THE BUYING DECISION. SYSTEMATICALLY, THROUGH CAREFUL CHECKING OF RECORDS AND THE CATEGORIZING OF TRUCKS NEEDED, THE "RULE OF 9000", STATING THAT AT 100 PERCENT EFFICIENCY, A TRACTOR WORKING 2000 HOURS CAN PRODUCE 9000 TONS YEARLY PER FLYWHEEL HORSEPOWER IN STOCKPILE LOADING, IS USED. AN EXAMPLE IS GIVEN SHOWING HOW ALL DATA IS APPLIED. PEAK DEMAND PERIODS ARE CONSIDERED ALONG WITH BUCKET SIZE FOR THE LOADER AND TRUCK SIZE.
