Machine performance must ultimately be meas-
ured in unit cost of material moved, a measure that
includes both production and costs. Factors bearing
directly on productivity include such things as
weight to horsepower ratio, capacity, type of trans-
mission, speeds and operating costs. The Perfor-
mance Handbook considers these factors in detail.
There are other less direct machine performance fac-
tors for which no tables, charts or graphs are pos-
sible. Serviceability, parts availability and operator
convenience are examples. In comparing machine
performance, all factors should be considered. This
Handbook is intended as an aid which, when coupled
with experience and a good knowledge of local
conditions, can assist in estimating true machine
performance.
Many sections of the Handbook include tables or
curves showing cycle times or hourly production fig-
ures for Caterpillar machines under certain con-
ditions. Statements of conditions always accompany
or precede the curves or tables. Before using any per-
formance information in this Handbook, a complete
understanding of the qualifying conditions is essential.
The data is based on field testing, computer analy-
sis, laboratory research and experience; and every
effort has been made to assure their correctness.
However, all such data is based upon 100% effi-
ciency in operation — a status which cannot be
achieved continuously even under ideal conditions.
Thus, in using such performance and production
data, it is necessary to correct the results indicated
in the handbook tables by appropriate factors. This
allows for the anticipated actual job efficiency, oper-
ator efficiency, material characteristics, haul road
conditions, altitude and other factors which may
reduce performance or production on a particular job.
Methods for estimating machine owning and oper-
ating costs vary widely, depending on locality, indus-
try practices, owner preferences and other factors.
One method is suggested in the Handbook section
on Owning and Operating Costs. When used with
good judgment, it has provided reasonably accurate
estimates in the past. Included in the Owning and
Operating Section are guidelines, based on working
conditions, to assist in estimating consumption of
fuel and lubricants, tire life and repair costs for
Caterpillar machines. However, what one Handbook
user regards as “excellent” conditions, another may
consider “severe” or “average”, depending on his own
experience and basis of comparison. Therefore, these
guidelines should be considered only approximations.
Caterpillar Inc. has made every effort to assure
that the information contained in this Handbook is
accurate and is a fair statement of the results to be
achieved in the circumstances indicated. However,
because of the many variables involved in estimat-
ing the production or performance of earthmoving
machinery, their consumption of fuel and lubricants,
tire life and repair costs, and the possibility of inad-
vertent errors or omissions in assembling this data,
Caterpillar cannot and does not imply that all data
in this book are complete nor that this level of per-
formance will be achieved on a given job.
Specifications shown in this Handbook were cur-
rent at time of printing. However, due to Caterpillars
many machine improvement programs, specifica-
tions and materials may change without notice. For
current specifications relating to a machine’s per-
formance, please refer to the most recent Caterpillar
product specification sheet.

PREFACE
OPERATOR AND
MACHINE PROTECTION
A well trained operator, working under suitable
conditions, utilizing a modern, properly-equipped
machine provides a machine-operator team capable
of giving maximum production. These factors, along
with appropriate job site rules and communication
procedures, are essential to coordinate people and
machines working together. Appropriately protected
and maintained machines are less likely to suffer
premature component failure or damage, and give
operators the confidence and assurance they need
to carry out their work. Furthermore, training is
not complete until the operator reads, understands
and agrees to follow the instructions provided in the
Operation and Maintenance Manual included with
every Caterpillar machine.
Employers have a duty to provide a safe work place
for their employees. The purchaser of a Caterpillar
machine has a duty to review his/her particular appli-
cation and job site for the machine to identify poten-
tial hazards inherent to that application or job site.
Based on the results of this hazard analysis, the
appropriate operator and machine protection con-
figuration can be determined.
Caterpillar designs, builds, and tests its products
to ensure the safety of operators, maintenance per-
sons, service persons, and bystanders. Caterpillar pro-
vides as standard equipment the appropriate operator
and machine protection for most applications. How-
ever, particular applications may require additional
operator and/or machine protection. Caterpillar offers
related options for most such applications. However,
there may be very special applications where the
Caterpillar Dealer or the Purchaser may want to fab-
ricate, or request Caterpillar to provide, custom or
special guarding. Your Caterpillar Dealer can help
you with this hazard analysis and guarding config-
uration process.
I. Operator Training and Protection Practices
Remember that any kind of machine or mechanical
device can be hazardous if not kept in good condi-
tion, or if operated by careless or improperly trained
operators, or if operated in an irresponsible manner.
Listed below are some recommended basic steps
that can be broadly applied to most work environments:
Train operators for the job they are assigned to
do. The length and type of training must comply
with governmental and local regulations wherever
they apply. As an example, machine operators in
mining activities must be trained in accordance with
Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
regulations. Where specific regulations do not apply,
no operator should be assigned to a job until he or
she meets the following minimum requirements:
Completes proper training to operate the assigned
machine and understands that seat belts must be
worn whenever seated in operators compartment.
Reads and understands the Operation & Main-
tenance manual for that machine, and knows
that a copy of that manual is stored in the oper-
ators compartment.
Reads and understands the EMI (Equipment
Manufacturers Institute), CIMA (Construction
Industry Manufacturers Association), or any
other furnished manual related to rules for safe
machine operation and identification of hazards.
Has appropriate personal safety equipment and
knows how to use it. This includes such things
as hard hat, gloves, safety glasses, hearing pro-
tection and safety shoes.
Knows what the job requirements are, what
other machines are working in the area, and is
aware of any hazardous conditions that may
arise.
Be sure operators are alert and in proper physi-
cal and mental condition to perform their work
assignments safely. No machine should be oper-
ated by a person who is drowsy, under the affect
of medicines or drugs, suffers blackouts, or is suf-
fering from any physical or mental distraction
that could contribute to unsafe operation.
5
Maintain proper job conditions and working pro-
cedures. Check the job for possible hazards, both
above and below ground level. Look for all possi-
ble sources of danger to the operator and others
in the area. Pay particular attention to conditions
which may be hazardous or near the operating
limits of the machine: e.g., side slopes, steep grades,
potential overloads, etc. Examine the work site for
restricted traffic patterns, obstructed views, con-
gestion, etc. Hazardous work conditions should
be corrected wherever possible and adequate warn-
ings should be posted when applicable.
Provide the correct machine to handle the job and
equip it properly for the job to provide the neces-
sary operator protection. Check for compliance
with all applicable governmental and local regu-
lations. It is the machine owners or employers
legal responsibility to see that his equipment com-
plies with, and is operated in accordance with, all
such requirements.
Make sure the machine is properly maintained.
A walk-around inspection should be performed at
the beginning of each shift before the machine is
placed in operation. If this inspection reveals any
problems that could affect safety, the machine
must not be operated until these problems are cor-
rected. Some examples include:
Loose, bent or missing grab irons, railings or
steps;
Worn, cut or missing seat belts (any seat belt
over three (3) years old must be replaced regard-
less of condition);
Damaged windows in the operators compartment;
Worn, rubbing or abraded electrical insulation
and hoses;
Any fluid leaks; and
Missing or damaged guards.
It is the machine owners or employers responsi-
bility to ensure the machine is properly maintained.
Your Caterpillar Dealer will be glad to assist you
in selecting and equipping the machine best suited
for your job and in providing maintenance for your
machines.
II. Machine Modifications
Modifications must not be made to the machine
that:
Interfere with operator visibility;
Interfere with ingress, egress from the machine;
Exceed the rated payload or gross combination
weight of the machine resulting in overloading
the braking and/or steering system or the roll-
over protective structure (ROPS) capacity rat-
ing (shown on a plate affixed to the ROPS); or
Place objects in the cab that intrude into the oper-
ators space or that are not firmly fixed into place.
III. Operator-related Equipment Options
Each job presents unique conditions that must be
taken into account. Consider direct dangers to the
operator as well as all possible sources of distrac-
tion that could reduce operator efficiency and increase
the chances of costly and dangerous mistakes. Climate-
controlled, sound-suppressed cabs, and special exte-
rior lighting are options available from Caterpillar
that can address requirements of special working
environments.
“Flexible” machines include hydraulic excavators
(track-type, wheel-type, and compact), skid-steer
loaders, backhoe loaders and integrated tool-carri-
ers. Work tools or any tool used in hazardous appli-
cations like demolition and logging, can create a need
for special operator guarding. When flying debris
from impact, cutting, shearing or sweeping attach-
ments is present, additional protective devices such
as a front screen, Falling Object Guarding System
(FOGS, includes top & front guarding), thick poly-
carbonate windshields or a combination of these is
recommended by Caterpillar. Contact your Caterpillar
Dealer for operator guarding options on your machine.
IV. Machine Protection
Check the job for unusually demanding conditions
that could cause premature failure or excessive
wear of machine components. Additional protective
devices such as heavy-duty radiator guards, crankcase
guards, engine enclosures, track roller guards and/or
brake shields may be needed. Also, consider the use
of anti-vandalism devices, such as cap locks and instru-
ment panel guards. Contact your Caterpillar dealer
for machine-protection and vandalism-prevention
options for your machine.
V. Fire Prevention
Remember that most fluids on your machine are
flammable!
To minimize the risk of fire, Caterpillar recom-
mends following these basic steps:
Remove trash (leaves, twigs, papers, etc.) that
may accumulate in the engine compartment.
Do not operate a machine if leakage of flam-
mable fluids is noticed. Repair leaks before
resuming machine operation. Most fluids used
in Caterpillar machines should be considered
flammable.
Keep access doors to major machine compart-
ments in working order to permit the use of fire
fighting equipment, should a fire occur.
Avoid attaching electrical wiring to hoses and
tubes that contain flammable or combustible
fluids.
6
Replace any rubbing, damaged, frayed, kinked
or leaking hydraulic hoses or fittings.
Follow safe fueling practices as described in
Caterpillar Operation & Maintenance Manuals,
EMI or CIMA Safety Manuals, and local regu-
lations.
As an additional safety measure, keep a 10-pound
(4.5 kg) minimum fire extinguisher on the machine
in a location as specified in the Operator and Mainte-
nance Manual.
VI. Safety Regulations
Regulations vary from country to country and
often within country. Your Caterpillar dealer can
assist you in properly equipping your machine to
meet applicable requirements. Note: The general
summaries given below are not substitutes for
reading and being familiar with the appro-
priate local laws.
(a) United States (US)
With a few exceptions, all machine operations in
the United States are covered by federal and/or state
regulations. If the machine is used in mining activ-
ities, the regulations are administered by the Mine
Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Other
activities, including construction, are under regu-
lations administered by the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA). These agencies
require employers to provide a safe working envi-
ronment for employees. Caterpillar has the same
objective.
OSHA and MSHA have adopted criteria for ROPS,
Falling Object Protective Structures (FOPS), seat
belts, warning horns, back-up alarms, operator sound
levels, steering systems, and braking systems. Addi-
tional operators compartment protection may be
required for machines engaged in logging, demoli-
tion and other special applications.
(b) European Union (EU)
The EU Machinery Safety Directive applies to
Caterpillar machines and most work tools. It
requires that the “CE mark” be applied to the prod-
uct and that a manufacturers declaration be pro-
vided. The “CE mark” indicates that safety issues
have been addressed by applying the appropriate
safety standards in the design and manufacture of
the machine. The objective of the Safety Directive is
to protect operators, spectators and maintenance
personnel. Caterpillar fully supports this objective.
VII. Sound Suppression
Different marketing areas have different noise
emission requirements. Noise regulations usually
specify limits for operators and spectators.
(a) United States
OSHA and MSHA noise-control regulations set
permissible noise-exposure limits for machine oper-
ators and employees. Operator protection from
machine noise can be achieved by use of factory-
built cabs as offered in the Caterpillar Price List.
These cabs, when properly maintained and oper-
ated with the doors and windows closed, reduce the
operator sound level for an eight-hour operating
period to meet the OSHA and MSHA noise-exposure
limits in effect at the date of manufacture. Variables
that may be encountered on the job site, such as
other nearby noise sources or noise-reflecting sur-
faces, may reduce the allowable work hours. If this
occurs, ear protective devices may be required.
(b) European Union
Operator sound-exposure requirements for
machines in Europe are very similar to the OSHA
and MSHA regulations mentioned above. In addi-
tion to operator sound-exposure requirements, cer-
tain types of Caterpillar machines are subject to
European Commission regulations for exterior sound
levels. Caterpillar ensures its products sold in the
EU comply with the applicable noise regulations.

TRACK-TYPE TRACTORS
Features:
Cat Diesel Engines provide power, high torque
rise, reliability and performance you can depend on.
Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection on D9R
and D10R increases fuel efficiency, reduces smoke,
improves cold starting and enhances diagnostic
capabilities.
Electronic Unit Injection (EUI) on D11R. The
Electronic Control Module (ECM) performs much
like a mechanical governor, but has no moving
parts. The ECM signals the injectors regulating
the fuel supply thus controlling engine speed and
power. EUI provides: Reduced exhaust smoke,
automatic altitude compensation and cold start
protection.
Oil cooled steering clutches and brakes stan-
dard on all models except the D8R. Improves reli-
ability and component life. Oil disc brakes on
D5M XL and up. Oil cooled contracting band type
used on D3C Series III, D4C Series III and D5C
Series III power shift models.
Finger Tip Controls (FTC) of transmission,
steering clutches and brakes available on D5M,
D6M, D6R, D7R, D10R and D11R.
Differential steering allows infinitely variable
turning radius. Standard on the D8R and optional
on the D6R, D7R and D9R, allows the tractor to
make a “power turn” keeping both tracks working
for more traction and higher performance.
Hydrostatic Power Train System available on
D3C Series III thru D5C Series III allows full
power turns, stepless speed range, smooth mod-
ulation, dynamic hydrostatic braking, superior
maneuverability and excellent controllability.
Combined hand lever steering located left of
operator provides easier operation on D5M XL,
D6M XL and D9R. Combined pedal steering stan-
dard on the D3C Series III, D4C Series III and D5C
Series III. Optional combined hand lever clutch
and brake for D3C Series III, D4C Series III and
D5C Series III.
Standard Tractors designed for heavy dozing
and general grading.
XL Tractors offer higher horsepower and longer
roller frames for increased finish grading capa-
bility, flotation and productivity. Wider gauge
available on D6R XL through Caterpillar Custom
Products.
Sealed and Lubricated Track reduces pin and
bushing wear for lower undercarriage repair costs.
Heavy duty track chain available on D5M, D6M,
D6R and D7R improves wear life and reduces pin/
bore stretching and cracking.
Elevated sprockets on D5M XL and up eliminate
final drive stress induced by roller frame move-
ment and ground impact loads. Final drives pull
chain only. Seals moved up out of dirt, sand and
water for longer life. Blade visibility improved
because operator sits higher.
Resilient mounted bogie undercarriage on
D8R, D9R, D10R and D11R reduces shock trans-
mitted to tractor.
Solid mounted undercarriage standard on
D3C Series III through D7R and optional on the
D8R provides stable platform for low impact, high
abrasion applications like finish grading and
stockpiling.
Accessible modular design on D5M XL and up
greatly reduces drive train removal and installa-
tion time resulting in reduced repair costs.
Tag link on D7R and up; L-shaped push arms on
D6M through D6R. Both designs allow closer
mounting of dozer blades. This reduces total trac-
tor length, improves maneuverability, balance,
blade penetration and pryout.

Track-Type Tractors Extreme Slope Operation
EXTREME SLOPE OPERATION
The following table gives the MAXIMUM fore and
aft slope on which each tractor will have proper
lubrication. Consult Operation & Maintenance
Manual (if applicable) for POWER TRAIN fluid
level overfill requirements for operation on extreme
slopes. Extreme slope operation is anytime the slope
exceeds 25° (47%).
The ENGINE should never be overfilled with oil.
This may lead to rapid overheating. For extreme
slope operation, engine oil should be maintained at
the full mark.
NOTE: Both ENGINE and POWER TRAIN fluid
levels should be checked on level ground
before working sidehills and slopes.

When working sidehills and slopes, consideration
should be given to the following important points:
Speed of travel — At higher speeds, inertia forces
tend to make the tractor less stable.
Roughness of terrain or surface — Ample allow-
ance should be made where the terrain or surface
is uneven.
Mounted equipment — Bulldozers, sidebooms,
winches, and other mounted equipment cause the
tractor to balance differently.
Nature of surface — New earthen fills may give
way with the weight of the tractor. Rocky surfaces
may promote side slipping of tractor.
Track slippage due to excessive loads — This may
cause downhill track to “dig in,” increasing angle
of tractor.
Implements hitched to the drawbar — This may
decrease weight on uphill track, e.g., logging arch,
two-wheel wagon.
Height of hitch on tractor — When a high draw-
bar is used the tractor is less stable than with the
standard drawbar.
Width of shoes — Wide track shoes tend to decrease
“digging in”, hence tractor is more stable.
Operated equipment — Be aware of the stability
and other performance features of the equipment
operated by the tractor.
Keep all attachments or pulled loads low to the
ground for optimum stability.
*The D7G requires a 23 L (6 gal) transmission overfill for acceptable operation on
slopes above 25° (47%).
NOTE: Safe operation on steep slopes may require special machine main-
tenance as well as excellent operator skill and proper equipment
for the specific application. Consult Operation & Maintenance
Manual (if applicable) for proper fluid level requirements.

BulldozersBlade Selection
Production Dozing Tools
BLADE SELECTION
Properly matching tractor and dozer is a basic
requirement for maximizing production. First con-
sider the kind of work the tractor will be doing most
of its life. Then evaluate:
Material to be moved.
Tractor limitations.
Materials to be moved.
Most materials are dozeable. However, dozer
performance will vary with material characteristics
such as:
Particle Size & Shape — The larger the individual
particle size, the harder it is for a cutting edge to
penetrate. Particles with sharp edges resist the nat-
ural rolling action of a dozer blade. These particles
require more horsepower to move than a similar vol-
ume of material with rounded edges.
Voids — Few voids or the absence of voids means
the individual particles have most or all of their sur-
face area in contact with other particles. This forms
a bond which must be broken. A well graded mate-
rial, which lacks voids, is generally heavy, and will
be hard to remove from the bank state.
Water Content — In most materials the lack of mois-
ture increases the bond between particles and
makes the material difficult to remove from the
bank state. A high moisture content makes dozing
difficult because the material is heavy and requires
more force to move. Optimum moisture reduces dust
and offers the best condition for dozing ease and
operator comfort.
The effect of freezing depends on the moisture
content. When frozen, the material’s bond strength-
ens as moisture content increases and temperature
decreases. However, freezing a completely dry mate-
rial does not change its characteristics.
An indication of a blade’s ability to penetrate and
obtain a blade load is kW per meter (or horsepower
per foot) of cutting edge. The higher the kW/meter
(HP/foot), the more aggressive the blade. Kilowatt
per Lm3(horsepower per loose cubic yard) indicates
a blade’s ability to push material. The higher the
kW/Lm3(HP/LCY), the greater the blade’s potential
capability for carrying material at a greater speed.
Tractor Limitations
The weight and horsepower of the machine deter-
mines its ability to push. No tractor can exert more
pounds push than the machine itself weighs and its
power train can develop. Various terrain and under-
foot conditions on the job limit the tractors ability
to use its weight and horsepower. The “approximate
coefficient of traction factors” chart in the Tables
Section presents these traction factors for common
materials. To use the chart, take the total tractor
weight (with attachments) times the factor to arrive
at the maximum usable push the dozer can exert.
Production Dozing Tools
“U” — Universal blade
— the large wings on
this blade include one
end bit and at least one
section of cutting edge
which make it efficient
for moving big loads over
long distances as in land
reclamation, stockpile
work, charging hoppers and trapping for loaders.
As this blade has a lower kW/meter (HP/foot) of cut-
ting edge than an “S” or “SU”, penetration should not
be a prime objective. With a lower kW/Lm3(HP/LCY)
than an “S” or “SU”, this blade is best for lighter or
relatively easily dozed material. If equipped with
tilt cylinder(s), it has some of the versatility of the
S-blade. Tilt cylinder(s) improve its ability to ditch,
pry out, and level. This extends its use to many util-
ity tasks.
“SU” — The Semi-U
blade combines the
desirable characteristics
of S and U-blades into
one package. It has
increased capacity by the
addition of short wings
which include only the dozer end bits. The wings pro-
vide improved load retention capabilities while
maintaining the blade’s ability to penetrate and load
quickly in tightly packed materials and to handle a
wide variety of materials in production oriented
applications. Tilt cylinder(s) increase both the pro-
ductivity and versatility of this dozer. Equipped
with a push plate, it is effectively used for push load-
ing scrapers.
General Purpose Dozing Tools
“S” — The Straight blade
provides excellent versa-
tility. Since it is physically
smaller than the SU or
U-blade, it is easier to
maneuver and can handle
a wider range of materi-
als. It has a higher kW/
meter (HP/foot) of cutting edge than the SU or
U-blade; consequently, the “S” is more aggressive in
penetrating and obtaining a blade load. A tilt cylin-
der increases both the productivity and versatility
of this dozer. With a high kW/Lm3 (HP/LCY), the
S-blade can handle heavy material easily.
Power Angle and Tilt
blade — Versatility is
its key feature with its
ability to perform a
variety of site develop-
ment to general dozing
work as well as heavy-
duty applications. Angle and tilt control is with
2 levers on some machines, 1 lever on others.
Variable Power Angle and Tilt (VPAT) blade can
be mechanically tipped forward for improved pene-
tration or shedding sticky material and backward
for finish grading and improved productivity.
Balderson “VR Blades” (Variable Radius)
The Balderson Variable
Radius Semi-U-Blade
combines the benefits
of a semi-U-blade such
as “cutting” ability and
ground penetration with
U-blade characteristics
of better load retention and less side spill.
This is achieved with the variable radius moldboard.
The variable radius moldboard causes dirt to move
to the center of the blade creating more rolling
action. The extended side plates retain the load and
increase capacities.
The variable radius semi-U-blade is an excellent
tool for land improvement, soil conservation, site
development, or general construction.
Special Application Dozing Tools
Caterpillar and other blade manufacturers pro-
vide specialty bulldozers for specific applications.
The blades are designed to increase production
while performing certain tasks. However, special-
ization may reduce the blade versatility. Following
are the most popular special applications blades.
“A” — Or Angling blade
can be positioned straight
or angled 25 degrees to
either side. It is designed
for side-casting, pioneer-
ing roads, backfilling, cutting ditches and other sim-
ilar tasks. It can reduce the amount of maneuvering
required to do these jobs. Its “C” frame can be used
for attachments such as pushing, land clearing, or
snow removal tools. A-blades are not recommended
for rock or severe applications.
“C” — The Balderson
Cushion blade is used for
on-the-go push-loading.
Rubber cushions allow the
dozer to absorb the impact
of contacting a scraper push
block. When not push-load-
ing, the dozer can be used
for cut maintenance and other general dozing jobs.
The narrow width of the C-blade increases machine
maneuverability in congested cuts and reduces the
possibility of cutting tires associated with SU and
U-blades.

“U-Blades” — Balderson
offers a variety of U-blades
for use in a wide range of
applications. They pro-
vide high volume move-
ment of light non-cohesive
materials such as coal and woodchips. Heavier
U-blades are also offered for production dozing and
reclamation work.
“Landfill” — Caterpillar and Balderson offer ver-
sions of the landfill or fill spreading dozer. Designed
to handle refuse and cover material. Open trash
screen on top of blade allows good visibility and pro-
tects radiator. Curved moldboard keeps cover mate-
rial rolling evenly.
“Two-Way Dozer” — Designed for use inside ship
holds to move cargo such as grain, salt, iron ore, coal
and chips. These blades can scrape material off
walls and doze to center of hold. They can doze
material forward or pull material.
“V-Tree Cutter” — Rimco
and Rome offer this clear-
ing blade for shearing
trees, stumps and brush
at ground level. A sharp
angle or “V”, formed by
two cutting blades, utilizes
tractor weight and horse-
power through the center-
line of the cutter. Utilization of tractor force allows
most growth to be cut at a steady pace and cast to the
sides.
“Rakes” — Balderson,
Rimco and Rome offer a
variety of rakes for use
in land clearing appli-
cations. They handle
vegetation up to tree
size, and offer good soil penetration for removal of
small stumps, rocks and roots. In most cases rake
tines are replaceable.
“K/G” — Offered by
Rimco and Rome,
the K/G-blade is used
in many land clear-
ing applications. In
addition to cutting trees this versatile blade can pile
vegetation, cut v-type drainage ditches and build
woods roads and firebreaks. Weldco-Beales offers a
blade of similar design called the One-Way Brush
Cutter.

BulldozersEstimating Production Off-The-Job
BULLDOZER PRODUCTION OFF-THE-JOB
You can estimate bulldozer production using the
production curves that follow and the correction fac-
tors that are applicable. Use this formula:
Production (Lm3/hr) Maximum 3Correction
(LCY/hr) =production factors
The bulldozer production curves give maximum
uncorrected production for universal, semi-univer-
sal, and straight blades and are based on the fol-
lowing conditions:
1. 100% efficiency (60 minute hour — level cycle).
2. Power shift machines with 0.05 min. fixed
times.
3. Machine cuts for 15 m (50 feet), then drifts
blade load to dump over a high wall. (Dump
time — 0 sec.)
4. Soil density of 1370 kg/Lm3(2300 lb/LCY).
5. Coefficient of traction:
a. Track machines — 0.5 or better
b. Wheel machines — 0.4 or better
6. Hydraulic controlled blades used.
7. Dig 1F**
Carry 2F**
Return 2R**
To obtain estimated production in bank cubic
meters or bank cubic yards, appropriate load factor
from the Tables section should be applied to the cor-
rected production as calculated above.
Production Bm3/hr =Lm3/hr 3LF
(BCY/h) (LCY/h) 3LF
*Coefficient of traction assumed to be at least 0.4. While
poor traction affects both track and wheel vehicles, caus-
ing them to take smaller blade loads, wheeled units are
affected more severely and production falls much more
rapidly. While no fixed rules can predict this production
loss, a rough rule of thumb is that wheel dozer production
falls off 4% for each one-hundredth decrease in coefficient
of traction below 0.40. If, for example, coefficient of trac-
tion is 0.30, the difference is ten-hundredths (0.10), and
production is 60% (10 34% = 40% decrease).
**This gear sequence is based on level to downhill terrain,
light to medium density material, and no blade extensions
such as spill plates, rock guards, etc. Exceeding these con-
ditions may require carry in 1F, but productivity should
equal or exceed “standard conditions” due to the larger
loads that can be carried in 1F.

MEASURING PRODUCTION ON-THE-JOB
Three generally accepted methods of measuring
bulldozer production are listed below. The third
method is empirical, but is the simplest to conduct.
1. Employing Surveying Techniques
a. Conduct time study and then cross-section
the cut to determine the volume of material
removed. (Production in Bm3or BCY per unit
of time)
b. Conduct time study and then cross-section the
fill to determine the volume of fill material.
(Production in Lm3or LCY per unit of time)
2. Weighing Blade Loads
Conduct time study and weigh material
moved by bulldozer by weighing the loader
bucket loads.
3. Measuring Blade Loads
a. Dozer operation
(1) Pick up and carry load onto a level area
and stop.
(2) Raise the blade directly over the pile
pulling forward slightly as blade comes up,
leaving a nearly symmetrical pile.
(3) Reverse to clear the pile.
b. Measurements
(1) The average height (H) of the pile in feet.
Hold the tape vertically at the inside edge
of each grouser mark. Sight along top of
the pile to obtain the correct measurement.
(2) The average width (W) of the pile in feet.
Hold the tape horizontally over the pile
and sight at the inside edge of each grouser
mark and the corresponding opposite side
of the pile.
(3) The greatest length (L) of the pile in feet.
Hold the tape horizontally over the pile
and sight at each end of the pile.
c. With the above measurements, now compute
the blade load.
(1) Average the height measurement (H)
(2) Average the width measurement (W)
(3) Load (Lm3or LCY) = 0.0138 3(HWL)
(4) Load (Bm3or BCY) = Lm3or LCY 3LF
d. Combine the calculated blade load with time
study to figure production.

Parallelogram linkage with hydraulically
variable pitch on D8R, D9R, D10R and D11R.
Operator can adjust angle of ripper tip to the
material for penetration at all ripping depths to
increase production.
Fixed Parallelogram linkage design used on
D5E, D6M, D6G, D6R, D7G, D6R XR, D6R XL,
D7R and D7R XR. This design holds tooth angle
constant at all ripping depths.
Fixed Radial rippers are Multishank with wide
beam coverage for utility ripping close to walls,
footings and embankments. Ripper tooth angle
changes as ripper is raised or lowered. Five shanks
available on the D3C Series III, D4C Series III,
D5C Series III. Three shanks available for the
D5M.
Adjustable Single shank arrangements avail-
able for D8R, D9R, D10R and D11R for tough rip-
ping applications and deep ripping requirements.
Hydraulically Variable Pitch Multishank
arrangements available in all ripper models,
including D8R, D9R, D10R and D11R allow wide-
beam coverage in easier-to-rip materials.

“Pryout,” (Breakout) newtons (and pounds) — the
maximum sustained upward force, generated by the
lift cylinders measured at the ripper tip. Breakout
force is measured with the shank in the top hole,
shank vertical and ripper full down. Breakout force
may be hydraulically or balance limited.
“Penetration force,” kilonewtons (and pounds) —
the maximum sustained downward force, generated
by the ripper lift cylinders measured at the ripper
tip, which is required to raise the back end of the
vehicle with the tip on ground and the shank
(pinned in the top hole) vertical.

TIP SELECTION FOR THE D8R, D9R, D10R
AND D11R RIPPERS
Three tip configurations (short, intermediate and
long) in two styles (centerline and penetration) are
available for economical operation in a variety of
conditions.
RECOMMENDED TIP USAGE
Short Use in high impact conditions where break-
age problems occur. The shorter the tip,
the more it resists breakage.
Intermediate Most effective in moderate impact
conditions where abrasion is not
excessive.
Long Use in loose, abrasive materials where break-
age is not a problem. Generally offers the
most wear material.
Centerline vs Penetration
The materials being ripped and the tractor doing
the ripping will both have an effect on which tip will
do the best job. High density material requires a
“penetration” tip. High impact material requires a
“centerline” tip. The following is a general guide to
tip application.

to determine the most economical.
ESTIMATING RIPPING PRODUCTION
Ripping costs must be compared to other methods
of loosening the material — usually drilling and
blasting — on a cost per ton or bank cubic yard basis.
Thus, an accurate estimation of ripper production is
needed to determine unit ripping costs.
There are three general methods of estimating
ripping production:
1. The best method is to record the time spent rip-
ping, then remove (using scrapers or loaders
and trucks) and weigh the ripped material. The
total weight divided by the time spent will give
hourly production. If the contractor is paid by
volume, then a density must be used and the
accuracy is only as good as the density used.
For payment by volume removed, method 2
may be desirable. Some care will be needed to
assure that only ripped material is removed.
2. Another method is to cross-section the area
and then record the time spent ripping. After
the material has been removed, cross-section
the area again to determine the volume of rock
removed. The volume divided by the time
spent ripping gives the ripping rate per minute
or hour.
3. Timing the ripper over a measured distance
is the least accurate method, but valuable for
quick estimating on the job. An average cycle
time should be determined from a number of
timed cycles. Turn-around or back-up time
must be included. Measure the average rip
distance, rip spacing and depth of penetration.
This data will give the volume per cycle from
which the production in bank cubic yards can
be calculated. Experience has shown results
obtained from this method are about 10 to 20%
higher than the more accurate method of
cross-sectioning.
An example of the measured distance method for
calculating ripper production is:
Data — D10R — No. 10 with one shank.
910 mm (36 in) between passes.
1.6 km/h (1 mph) average speed (including slip-
page and stalls).
Every 91 m (300 ft) requires 0.25 min to raise, pivot,
turn, and lower again: 91 m (300 ft) = 1 pass.
610 mm (24 in) penetration.
Full time ripping (no pushing or dozing assignment).

Example of Estimating Production (Metric)
Time per pass:
1.6 km/h = 26.7 m/min. Then 91 m = 3.41 min;
26.7 m/min
3.41 min + 0.25 min (turn time) = 3.66 min/pass.
If the operator works an average of 45 min per h,
it is possible to make = 45 = 12.3 passes per h

Volume ripped: 91 m 30.9 m 30.6 m = 49.1 BCM
per pass
Production = 49.1 312.3 = 604 BCM per h
Remember the results from this method are usu-
ally 10 to 20 per cent higher than the actual pro-
duction that can be expected on the job.

Example of Estimating Production (English)
Time per pass:
MPH = 88 fpm. Then 300 ft = 3.41 min;
88 fpm
3.41 min + 0.25 min. (turn time) = 3.66 min/pass.
If the operator works an average of 45 min per hr,
it is possible to make 45 = 12.3 passes per hr
3.66
Volume ripped: 300 33 32= 66.7 BCY per pass
27
Production = 66.7 312.3 = 820 BCY per hr
● ● ●
NOTE: The demands of heavy ripping will increase
the normal owning and operating costs of the
tractor.
These costs should be increased no less than 30-
40% in heavy ripping applications to estimate rock
loosening costs.
There is no ready answer or rule-of-thumb solu-
tion to predict ripping production. Even if every-
thing is known about the seismic velocity of the
material, its composition, job conditions, equipment
and operator, only a “guesstimate” can be given. The
final answer must come from a production study
obtained on the job site.
Sample problem (Metric)
Determine the loosening costs in the following
situation:
Machine D10R Tractor with No. 10
Single Shank Ripper
Rip Spacing — 915 mm
Ripper Penetration — 610 mm
Rip Distance — 91 m
Rip Time — 3.41 minutes
Maneuver Time — 0.25 minutes
Seismic Velocity — 1830 meters per second
Assume 60 min. hour
Solution:
1. Total Cycle Time = 3.41 + 0.25 = 3.66 min
Cycles/hour = 60 min/hr = 16.4
3.66 min/cycle
2. Production per cycle = 91 m 3 0.9 m 3 0.6 m =
49.1 BCM/cycle
3. Production = 49.1 BCM/cycle 3 16.4 cycles/h
= 805 BCM/h
4. Remember results of this method are usually
10 to 20% high.
Actual Production = 80% of 805 BCM/h
= 644 BCM/h
Or 90% of 805 BCM/h = 725 BCM/h
5. Owning and Operating Costs
A D10R (ripping only) could have a $115.00/h
O & O costs including $30/h operator.
6. Loosening Costs
$115.00/hr 4644 BCM/h = $0.179/BCM
$115.00/hr 4725 BCM/h = $0.159/BCM
The loosening cost should range from 15.9¢
to 17.9¢/BCM
● ● ●

3. Production = 66.7 BCY/cycle 3 16.4 cycles/hr
= 1094 BCY/hour
4. Remember results of this method are usually
10 to 20% high.
Actual Production = 80% 31094
= 875 BCY/hr
or 90% 31094 = 984 BCY/hr
5. Owning and Operating Costs
A D10R (ripping only) could have a $115.00/hr
O & O cost including $30/hr operator
6. Loosening Costs
$115.00/hr 4875 BCY/hr = $0.131/BCY
$115.00/hr 4984 BCY/hr = $0.117/BCY
The loosening cost should range from 11.7¢ to
13.1¢/BCY

USE OF SEISMIC VELOCITY CHARTS
The charts of ripper performance estimated by
seismic wave velocities have been developed from
field tests conducted in a variety of materials. Con-
sidering the extreme variations among materials
and even among rocks of a specific classification,
the charts must be recognized as being at best only
one indicator of rippability.
Accordingly, consider the following precautions
when evaluating the feasibility of ripping a given
formation:
— Tooth penetration is often the key to ripping
success, regardless of seismic velocity. This is
particularly true in homogeneous materials
such as mudstones and claystones and the
fine-grained caliches. It is also true in tightly
cemented formations such as conglomerates,
some glacial tills and caliches containing rock
fragments.
— Low seismic velocities of sedimentaries can
indicate probable rippability. However, if the
fractures and bedding joints do not allow tooth
penetration, the material may not be ripped
effectively.
Pre-blasting or “popping” may induce sufficient
fracturing to permit tooth entry, particularly
in the caliches, conglomerates and some other
rocks; but the economics should be checked
carefully when considering popping in the
higher grades of sandstones, limestones and
granites.
Ripping is still more art than science, and much
will depend on operator skill and experience. Rip-
ping for scraper loading may call for different tech-
niques than if the same material is to be dozed
away. Cross-ripping requires a change in approach.
The number of shanks used, length and depth of
shank, tooth angle, direction, throttle position — all
must be adjusted according to field conditions.
Ripping success may well depend on the operator
finding the proper combination for those conditions.
NOTE: Field Seismic Information shown in the fol-
lowing charts is the best single indication
of rippability. However, Caterpillar does
not rely on any single parameter to select
the best machine for your particular opera-
tion and rock type. Field Seismic Information
is just one aspect of a complete rippability
analysis that can be obtained through your
Caterpillar dealer. A Caterpillar rippabil-
ity analysis includes a geological site sur-
vey, field seismic velocity measurements,
laboratory analysis of rock properties and
an equipment investment analysis. Contact
your Caterpillar dealer for a complete rip-
pability analysis.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR USING
PRODUCTION ESTIMATED GRAPHS:
Machine rips full-time — no dozing.
Power shift tractors with single shank rippers.
100% efficiency (60 min hour).
Charts are for all classes of material.
In igneous rock with seismic velocity of 8000 fps
or higher for the D11R, and 6000 fps or higher for
the D10R, D9R and D8R, the production figures
shown should be reduced by 25%.
Upper limit of charts reflect ripping under ideal
conditions only. If conditions such as thick lami-
nation, vertical lamination or any factor which
would adversely affect production are present, the
lower limit should be used.

VERSATILE FLOTATION SYSTEM (VFS)
The heavy-duty VFS trailer system offers an
extremely flexible hauling and spreading platform
for grain wagons, spray tanks and other equipment.
Certainly the most durable trailer system — track
or wheel — available in the industry.
Solid Construction:
Six axles per track roller frame spread out axle
loads, lower rolling resistance.
VFS 50 — four pressed high-strength low-alloy
(HSLA) steel midwheels, two steel idlers.
VFS 70 — ductile-iron midwheels; an additional
layer of steel on idlers’ outer diameter increases
strength and load-carrying capacity.
Dual tapered roller bearings on idlers and mid-
wheels improve performance.
Air-spring tensioning system allows recoil for
material flow between belt and idler.
Exclusive 762 mm (30") belts feature 96 tread
bars and a 40-degree tread-bar pattern for trac-
tion, low vibration.
Adaptable:
VFS 50 and 70 available in three configurations:
hitch and frame, wide axle, or narrow axle.
VFS 70 wide- and narrow-axle configurations
include bracket-mounting location for weight scale.
Each roller assembly oscillates up to 17 degrees,
independent of the other, for a smooth ride.
No lubrication required: special seals eliminate
need for periodic greasing of midwheel and idler
bearings.
Applications:
Include but are not limited to the following:
— Grain transport.
— Sugar cane, vegetable or sugar beets hauling.
— Lime spreading.
Anhydrous ammonia injection.
— Sludge hauling.
— Herbicide spreading.
— Side-dump carts.
— Air seeding.
— Manure spreading.
Construction uses include rear dump boxes
and waste haulers.

Exclusive Accelerated Pre-Separation (APS) sys-
tem separates out up to 30% of the grain before it
moves to the threshing cylinder.
At 1706 mm (67") the threshing cylinder is the
widest in the industry.
Separation:
LEXION 460 and 465 combines have six high-per-
formance straw walkers (most competitive com-
bines have only five).
LEXION 480 and 485 combines use dual-rotor
separation — a gentle, centrifugal-force system
that produces high quality grain.
Cleaning:
The long preparation pan, dual ventilation, and
remote electric adjustment of the upper chaffer
and lower sieve are exclusive to the LEXION.
The optional 3-D sieve system compensates for
slopes of up to 20%.
Turbine fans are sectional, providing even air flow
across the entire width of the cleaning area.
Engines:
LEXION 460 and 465 combines feature the Cat
3126 engine — a 7.2 liter (439 cu. in.) engine pro-
ducing 216 kW (290 hp). Power reserve of 222 kW
(298 hp) is available at 2000 rpm.
LEXION 480 and 485 combines are powered by
the Cat 3176C engine — a 10.3 liter (629 cu. in.)
engine producing 272 kW (365 hp). Power reserve
of 280 kW (375 hp) is available at 2000 rpm.
Tracks and Tires:
LEXION 465 and 485 combines feature Caterpillar’s
exclusive Mobil-trac™ undercarriage that provides
greater flotation, sidehill stability and reduced
soil compaction.
LEXION 460 and 480 combines are available with a
number of different tire options to fit all applications.

DRAWBAR POWER AND TILLAGE
Tillage work ability, or rate, is measurable in draw-
bar power, either kilowatts or horsepower. If the
quantity of work done is being emphasized, then a
unit of time is also included. The common terminol-
ogy is Kilowatt hours or horsepower hours.
Work rate is a combination of load (or force) times
distance, divided by time or simply load times speed.
For example a 5000 kg (11,000 lb) load pulled at
5 km/h (3.1 mph) is equivalent work to a 2000 kg
(4400 lb) load pulled at 12.5 km/h (7.8 mph).
A Pullmeter is used most frequently to measure
implement loads. The Towner Pullmeter is a hydrau-
lic cylinder with a head machined precisely to 10
square inches. Gauges are used to read pounds per
square inch thus 10 times the gauge reading gives
drawbar pounds pull (DBPP) in thousands of pounds
exerted by the implement pulled. Similar pullmeters
are available with gauges reading in Kilograms pull.
Formulas providing either Metric or English units
of work rate are:

TILLAGE PRODUCTION
Tillage production is most commonly measured in
area covered per hour, i.e. hectares per hour or acres
per hour. Production can be determined by field mea-
surement of tractor speed and implement width. If
implement width is known and drawbar pull can be
estimated, reference to tractor drawbar pull/speed
graphs will give estimated speeds for each gear, and
use of standard formulas will provide reasonable
estimates of tillage production. Drawbar pull is a
function of: 1) speed of tractor, 2) implement width
and, 3) tillage depth.

Features, H-Series Motor Graders:
Geographic Versions — The H-Series was specif-
ically designed to meet the needs of different geo-
graphic regions. NA, Standard, ES and Global
Versions are available with an assortment of stan-
dard features and optional equipment. All motor
graders feature advanced Caterpillar engines,
power train components, hydraulics and machine
structures. The 24H was designed to meet the pro-
ductivity and durability expectations of Caterpillar
mining customers.
Power to the Ground — Proven Caterpillar
designed and manufactured components are care-
fully matched to maximize productivity and effi-
ciency. Caterpillar H-Series engines have excellent
lugging performance and fuel economy. Variable
Horsepower (VHP) (NA Versions only — standard
on models 143H and 163H, optional on models
120H, 135H, 140H and 160H) provides more power
in gears 4F-8F and 3R-6R to increase productivity
and improve gradeability when roading. Engine
Power Management (standard on all ES and Stan-
dard Versions) delivers full rated power in gears
4F-8F and 3R-6R. In lower gears, where traction
is limited, engine horsepower is automatically
reduced, lowering fuel consumption and reducing
tire slippage. All models have Caterpillar trans-
missions that provide on-the-go, full-power shift-
ing and inching capability. Auto-shift is standard
equipment on the 24H and optional on certain NA
and ES models. In addition, the 24H is equipped
with a lockup clutch torque converter which allows
the machine to operate in direct drive at high out-
put speeds.
Blade Positioning — The H-Series provides a
broad range of extended blade positions particu-
larly beneficial in mid-range bank sloping, ditch
cutting and ditch cleaning. Along wheel base allows
for an aggressive blade angle permitting material
to roll more freely, reducing power requirements.

MOTOR GRADERS
Brakes — Caterpillar designs and builds multi-
disc brakes that are completely sealed, oil-bathed,
adjustment-free and offer unmatched reliability
and durability. They are located at each tandem
wheel to eliminate braking loads on the power
train and to speed up servicing. The large brake
surface provides dependable braking capability
and long life. The 24H brakes are oil-actuated and
all other models are air-actuated.
Visibility — Ample glass area and carefully placed
components provide excellent visibility to enhance
operator confidence and productivity in all motor
grader applications. The H-Series gives the oper-
ator an exceptional view forward to the blade toe,
working surface and front tires. Rearward visi-
bility to the ripper and tandem tires and sideways
to the blade heel and front tandem tires is maxi-
mized. The slanted rear window and optional sun-
shade reduce glare.
Controllability — The H-Series features motor
grader-specific hydraulic controls providing
smooth, predictable response every time a lever
is moved. The machines can perform multiple,
hydraulic-control operations with little effect on
the engine or implement speeds. The result is
more production in almost any application. The
Proportional, Priority, Pressure-Compensated
(PPPC) Hydraulic System is load-sensing and pro-
vides hydraulic power on demand, consuming
horsepower only when needed. The system pro-
vides proportionate flow to each circuit when the
system demand exceeds the available flow. Lock
valves, built into all control valves, maintain
exact cylinder positioning. The implement valves
provide superior modulation, system response
and predictability.
Operator Comfort — The H-Series provides a
comfortable environment to keep the operator
alert and focused. Conveniently located, low-effort
controls reduce fatigue. The interior noise level is
maintained between 75 and 80 dBA with the
doors and windows closed. Other standard and
optional operator-comfort features may include
(availability dependent on model):
key engine start-stop switch
pressurized cab
air conditioning and heating
– fully adjustable Caterpillar Contour Series Seat
adjustable steering and implement control console
easy-to-see gauges
provisions for entertainment and communica-
tion radios
lunch box location
coat hook
sweepout cab floor
suspended pedals
cigarette lighter and ashtray
– cupholder
12 volt power port
lower-opening front windows
sliding side windows
Environmental Design — The H-Series responds
to important environmental concerns such as
noise and air pollution. Designed with low exte-
rior sound levels and low-emissions engines
(except on Standard Version models 12H, 140H
and 160H), Caterpillar motor graders are quiet
and clean. Low exterior sound levels range from
80 to 84 dBA due to slower engine speeds, under-
hood mufflers, rubber-mounted engines, trans-
missions and slower fans. R134a refrigerant is
used in the air conditioner. To minimize oil leaks
and withstand high working pressures and temper-
atures, Caterpillar designed, heavy-duty XT hose
and O-ring face seals are used.

the operator to potential problems (EMSII on
the 24H)
– easily replaceable wear inserts to keep the draw-
bar, circle and blade tight and prevent damage
to expensive components
– large, hinged, engine side doors to provide ample
access to the engine and transmission service
points (optional on Standard Versions)
air cleaner located above the engine, accessible
from left side
hydraulic oil level sight gauge
tandem oil level sight gauge (24H)
oil sampling capability from engine and hydraulics
– oil sampling capability from tandem and power
train systems (24H)
– clustered lube points located at the bolster, draw-
bar, articulation joint and ripper for ground-
level service (24H)
auto-lube option available (24H)
diagnostic connectors for Electronic Technician
(ET) (excluding 14H and 16H)
modular wiring harness
engine disconnect switch
fuse panel located inside the cab
143H and 163H All Wheel Drive Motor Graders
All Wheel Drive (AWD) improves tractive per-
formance in poor underfoot conditions such as
snow, mud and sand. This feature also provides
excellent steering and sidedraft control. AWD is
available in gears 1F-7F and 1R-5R, making it
effective in both low-speed and high-speed appli-
cations. VHP is standard on AWD models and
delivers maximum power in all gears when AWD
is engaged. Three operating modes are available:
automatic, manual or off.
24H Motor Grader — To meet the specialized
needs of Caterpillar’s large mining customers, the
24H is sized to maintain haul roads for large min-
ing-truck fleets. The Caterpillar 3412E Hydraulic
Electronic Unit Injector (HEUI) engine, power
train components and machine structures are
designed to meet the rigors of this application.
Best Product Support — Caterpillar motor
grader users are assured the best product support
anywhere in the world. With industry-best parts
availability, training and an offering of inspection,
maintenance and repair, Caterpillar dealers can

EXCAVATOR LIFTING CAPACITY
On many sewer jobs an excavator must lift and
swing heavy pipe and manboxes in and out of the
trench, place manholes and unload material from
trucks. In some situations the excavators lift require-
ments may be so critical that they determine the
size excavator selected.
An excavator’s lift capacity depends on its weight,
center of gravity, the lift point position (see sketches)
and its hydraulic capability. An excavator’s lifting
capability for any given lift position is limited by its
tipping stability or hydraulic capacity.
Changes in boom, stick and bucket position affect
attachment geometry and can drastically change a
machine’s hydraulic lifting capacity. Caterpillar
defines excavator lifting capabilities using the fol-
lowing SAE guidelines.
Tipping Conditions — An excavator is considered
to be at the tipping point when the weight in the
bucket acting at the center of gravity causes the rear
rollers to lift clear of the track rails. Suspended
loads are considered to be hung from the back of the
excavator’s bucket or bucket linkage by a sling or
chain. Weights of attachments, slings or auxiliary
lifting devices are considered part of the suspended
load.
Thus, the tipping load is defined as the load pro-
ducing a tipping condition at a specified radius. The
load radius shall be measured as the horizontal dis-
tance from the axis of upper structure rotation (before
loading) to the center of vertical load line with load
applied (dimension A, below). The rating height is
based on the vertical distance of the bucket lift point
to the ground (dimension B).
A. Radius from swing centerline
B. Bucket lift point height
HYPOTHETICAL MACHINE
Rated Hoist Load — The rated load is established
using the vertical distance of the lifting point to the
ground and the radius of load. Ratings for the abil-
ity of a specific machine attachment to lift a load
slung from the designated bucket are defined as
follows:
a. The rated load will not exceed 75% of the tip-
ping load.
b. The rated load will not exceed 87% of the excava-
tor’s hydraulic capacity. This means the machine
should be able to lift 115% of the rated load.
c. The rated load will not exceed the machine’s
structural capability.

This drawing shows how an excavator’s lifting
capacity can vary with load position:
HYPOTHETICAL
MACHINE
Tips for Lifting Above Ground:
Get the load as close to the excavator as possible.
Use a cable short enough and position the excava-
tor so as to put the load lift point in the “optimum
lifting range” (see sketch).
Problem: Long reach cable — Can’t lift.
Solution: Shorten reach and cable — Can lift.
GROUND LEVEL LIFTING CAPACITIES
The lifting capacities that are shown on the fol-
lowing pages are with the lifting point at ground level.
These capacities are rated according to SAE Std.
No. J1097.
(For lifting capacities at other heights or with other
tools, refer to current Specification Sheets.)
Tips for Lifting Below Grade:
Use a cable for sufficient length to position the load
lift point in the “optimum lifting range”.
Problem: Short cable, deep trench — Can’t lift.
Solution: Lengthen cable to locate bucket hinge pin
in optimum lifting area — Can lift.

EXCAVATOR BUCKET CAPACITIES
Caterpillar rates excavator buckets to conform
with both PCSA standard No. 3 and SAE standard
J-296. Buckets are rated on both their struck and
heaped capacities as follows:
Struck Capacity
Volume actually enclosed inside the outline of the
sideplates and rear and front bucket enclosures
without any consideration for any material sup-
ported or carried by the spillplate or bucket teeth.
Heaped Capacity
Volume in the bucket under the strike off plane
plus the volume of the heaped material above the
strike off plane, having an angle of repose of 1:1 with-
out any consideration for any material supported or
carried by the spillplate or bucket teeth.
The Committee on European Construction Equip-
ment (CECE) rates heaped bucket pay loads on a 2:1
angle of repose for material above the strike off
plane.
CURL AND CROWD FORCES
Bucket penetration into a material is achieved by
the bucket curling force (FB) and stick crowd force
(FS). Rated digging forces are the digging forces that
can be exerted at the outermost cutting point. These
forces can be calculated by applying working relief
hydraulic pressure to the cylinder(s) providing the
digging force. The digging forces listed on next page
conform with SAE Standard J1179 and PCSA Stan-
dard No. 3. The values may not be directly compar-
able to forces for machines rated by other methods
than those described below.
FB= Radial tooth force due to bucket cylinder
FB=Bucket cylinder force Arm A 2Arm C
___________________ _______________
Arm D length (Arm B )
Cylinder force = (Pressure) 2
(End area of cylinder head)
Arm D = Bucket tip radius
Maximum radial tooth force due to bucket cylinder
(bucket curling force) is the digging force generated
by the bucket cylinder(s) and tangent to the arc of
radius D1. The bucket shall be positioned to obtain
maximum output moment from the bucket cylin-
der(s) and connecting linkages. When calculating,
maximum FBoccurs when the factor — Arm A times
Arm C divided by Arm B — becomes the maximum.
FS= Radial tooth force due to stick cylinder
FX=(Stick cylinder force) 2(Arm E length)
____________________________________
(Arm F length)
Arm F = Bucket tip radius + stick length
Maximum radial tooth force due to stick cylinder
(stick crowd force) is the digging force generated by
the stick cylinder(s) and tangent to the arc of radius F.
The stick shall be positioned to obtain the maximum
output moment from the arm cylinder and the bucket
positioned as described in the bucket force rating.
When calculating, maximum FSoccurs when the axis
in the stick cylinder working direction is at a right
angle to the line connecting the stick cylinder pin and
the boom nose pin.

Bucket Selection Considering
Bucket Curl and Stick Crowd Forces
The combination of the excavators stick crowd
force and bucket curling force give this machine con-
figuration more effective bucket penetration force
per mm (inch) of bucket cutting edge than is avail-
able with other machine types such as wheel and
track loaders.
As a result of high penetration force, an excavator
bucket is comparatively easy to load. Also, the higher
unit breakout forces allow the excavator’s economic
application range to be extended farther into the
tougher soils (coral, caliche, shale, limestone) before
blasting or ripping is required.
To take full advantage of an excavator’s high pene-
tration forces, buckets should be selected so they are
well matched to soil conditions that are encountered.
The two important things to consider are bucket
width and bucket tip radius.
As a general rule, wide buckets are used in easily
dug soil and narrow buckets in harder material. In
hard rocky soils, tip radius also has to be considered
in bucket selection. Because the shorter tip radius
buckets provide more total bucket curling force than
the long tip radius buckets, they are generally the
easiest to load. A good rule of thumb when select-
ing a Caterpillar bucket for hard material is to choose
the narrowest bucket that has a short tip radius.
Other factors such as trench bottom width specifi-
cations, manbox size, or the desire to conserve bed-
ding material may also influence excavator bucket
selection.
NOTE: See the following pages for listing of
Caterpillar buckets by tip radius and
cutting edge width.

Excavators Bucket Specifications
Caterpillar offers a very comprehensive list of
high strength steel buckets. High strength steel
allows thinner components which helps keep the
weight down, maintains durability and improves
loadability. The wrong bucket can reduce production
30-40% or more. Caterpillar’s in-depth knowledge
of machine design, bucket design and application
experience allows offering machine matched pack-
ages that optimize performance.
Additional buckets may be available and the listed
buckets may not be available in all sales areas. Contact
your Caterpillar Dealer for your specific bucket needs.

BUCKET PAYLOAD
An excavator’s bucket payload (actual amount of
material in the bucket on each digging cycle) is
dependent on bucket size, shape, curl force, and cer-
tain soil characteristics, i.e., the fill factor for that
soil. Fill factors for several types of material are
listed below.
Average Bucket Payload =
(Heaped Bucket Capacity) 2(Bucket Fill Factor)
Fill Factor Range
Material (Percent of heaped
bucket capacity)
Moist Loam or Sandy Clay A— 100-110%
Sand and Gravel B— 95-110%
Hard, Tough Clay C— 80-90%
Rock — Well Blasted 60-75%
Rock — Poorly Blasted 40-50%
Working Weights — Bucket & Payload
The following tables give maximum “bucket plus
payload” weights to assist in selecting the correct
bucket for a specific application. These weights are
based on actual job conditions. In better than aver-
age conditions the excavator may be able to achieve
rated lift capacities listed in this section.
NOTE: Bucket sizes are suitable for a maximum
material density of 1800 kg/m3(3035 lb/yd3).
Payloads shown are calculated at 1500 kg/m3
(2530 lb/yd3).

INTRODUCTION
Long reach excavators are designed purposely for
light duty digging that requires reach capability
well above that of normal digging machines. To be
able to have high enough digging forces together
with an acceptable size bucket, the long reach excava-
tors have a smaller digging envelope than the ditch
cleaning machines. Long reach excavators are ideally
suited for deep digging in gravel or sand pits then
feeding directly into a hopper.
Caterpillar’s long reach hydraulic excavators use
purpose-built booms and sticks designed by Caterpillar
for maximum performance and durability in light
duty applications.
Long Reach Excavation Fronts include: boom,
stick, linkage cylinders (boom, stick, and bucket),
hydraulic lines, additional counterweight for sta-
bility over the side and heavy duty wide undercar-
riage. Dimensions include light excavation bucket.

INTRODUCTION
Ditch cleaning excavators are designed specifically
for those jobs requiring maximum reach well beyond
the range of normal excavators. Those machines are
designed to drag a small bucket at about 90 degrees
over the side of the tracks towards the excavator;
they are not suited for digging work. Caterpillar offers
the Long Reach excavators for light digging applica-
tions with a much larger digging envelope than normal
excavators. Ditch cleaning excavators are suited for
ditch cleaning, slope finishing, river conservation
and other work formerly reserved to draglines.
Caterpillar’s ditch cleaning hydraulic excavators
use purpose-built booms and sticks designed by
Caterpillar for maximum performance and dura-
bility in dragging applications.
Ditch Cleaning Fronts include: boom, stick, link-
age cylinders (boom, stick, and bucket), hydraulic
lines and additional counterweight for stability
while working over the side. Dimensions include
ditch cleaning bucket.

EXCAVATOR SELECTION:
TRACKS VERSUS WHEELS
Features:
Tracks Wheels
Flotation Mobility and speed
Traction No pavement damage
Maneuverability Better stability with
Severe underfoot outriggers or dozers
Faster machine Leveling machine with
repositioning outriggers
Dozing capability
307–375
Unless the application calls for a lot of travel to,
from, and around the job sites, a track-type excava-
tor could be the better choice. Track-type excavators
provide good traction and flotation in almost all
kinds of underfoot conditions. Consistently good
drawbar power provides excellent maneuverability.
The tracked undercarriage also provides good over-
all stability. If the job calls for frequent machine
repositioning, a track-type excavator will provide
better operating efficiency — where raising and low-
ering outriggers would take extra time.
Wheels (M312 and M320)
Looking for a highly versatile machine? A machine
that can do more than mass excavation and trench-
ing. Consider a Wheel Excavator.
A Wheel Excavator combines traditional excava-
tor features such as 360° swing, long reach, deep
digging depth, high loading height, high digging
forces and high lift capacities, with the mobility of
a wheeled undercarriage. The rubber tires allow the
excavator to travel paved roads, work in shopping
malls, squares, parking lots and other paved areas
without damaging the pavement. It’s mobility allows
fast independent travel between jobsites as well as
on the jobsite giving you more job planning flexibil-
ity. The Wheel Excavator is the ideal tool for truck
loading in tight quarters, undercutting concrete or
asphalt, patching, shoulder work, curb and gutter
repair, landscaping, spreading top soil, fine grading,
laying pipe, placing manholes or ditch cleaning.
A Wheel Excavator is also an ideal machine in
material handling. It can load or unload trucks and
carry loads around the job site. Stabilizers and a dozer
blade can be pinned to the undercarriage increas-
ing the machines stability during lifting.
Equip the Wheel Excavator with dedicated spe-
cial attachments such as cab riser, material handling
stick and boom. Add the additional hydraulic circuit
option and your ready for a complete range of special
tools. Ditch cleaning bucket, clamshell, grapples,
hammers to name a few.
Caterpillar Wheel Excavators offer a load inde-
pendent, load-sensing, flow distribution hydraulic
system that gives the operator absolute precision
and control no matter what the application.
Machine weight is the key to selecting a Wheel
Excavator. Following are some additional factors
that need to be considered.
Choose the proper boom and stick for your reach,
digging depth and lifting requirements. Stability
can be greatly enhanced by adding outriggers and/or
a dozer blade. Additional hydraulic circuits can be
added depending on your application and stick end
attachments.

Excavators
Acceptable Bucket/Stick Combinations
The following charts identify the acceptable bucket and stick
combinations for Caterpillar Wheel Excavators and are based
on stability. Minimum stability occurs with the linkage oriented
over the side and positioned as shown in the visual. Dozer and/or
stabilizers (if equipped) are raised and the bucket contains a
full load. The longest stick is shown that has acceptable stabil-
ity for each bucket. That stability is 1.1 moment ratio or better.
Once this stability factor is established, all shorter sticks are
then acceptable with the listed bucket.

EXCAVATOR SHOE SELECTION
Undercarriage life can be extended by equipping
the machine properly for the application.
Many excavators work on pavement or flat, soft
ground and experience few undercarriage problems.
But if those same machines (usually equipped with
wide track pads) were placed in severe underfoot
conditions, undercarriage destruction could occur
very rapidly.
The rule, used for other track-type machines —
“Whenever possible use the narrowest shoes avail-
able” — is even more valid for excavators.
The best general purpose track shoe is the triple
grouser. It has a good section modulus and offers
the best compromise between traction and mini-
mum disturbance to paved surface.
The double grouser shoe has a better section modu-
lus and is more aggressive than the triple grouser
section. Single grouser shoes are offered for maxi-
mum traction. Some users like single grousers for
added mobility in hilly terrain.
The following table lists ground pressures for var-
ious width shoes (reach boom, medium stick and
bucket):

Excavators Quick Coupler
QUICK COUPLER SYSTEMS
Quick couplers can greatly increase a machine’s
versatility and productivity. They make it much eas-
ier to switch attachments which can increase uti-
lization. Quick couplers also encourage changing
buckets when the application changes, rather than
continue to use a less efficient bucket. Example: An
application that is predominately dirt with occa-
sional pockets or seams of rock. Without a quick cou-
pler the owner may choose to live with a rock bucket
but, rock buckets are normally smaller and heavier
which reduces performance in a dirt application. A
quick coupler allows the use of the rock bucket in
the rock and a GP bucket in the dirt.
There are two types of quick couplers. The first
is a dedicated type. A typical system substitutes
hooks on the bucket for the pin-on hinges used with
conventional buckets. The mating portion is pinned
on the stick and bucket linkage. It slips into the
hooks to secure the bucket or other attachment.
Advantages:
Bucket tip radius (distance from the bucket pivot
point to the bucket tip) does not increase. Increased
tip radius reduces curl and stick forces which can
reduce the loadability of the bucket. The hook type
coupler also does not add appreciable weight at the
end of the stick. Keeping the tip radius and weight
the same ensure no compromise in performance.
The machine portion of the hook type coupler can
be designed to allow more than one machine to use
the same buckets.
Disadvantages:
The hook type system requires special buckets.
Conventional pin-on buckets cannot be used. The
ability to use buckets on more than one machine
requires careful application analysis. Larger ma-
chines generate forces that can destroy the wrong
buckets. Smaller machines with the wrong bucket
may develop loads in excess of the machine’s capabil-
ity. Even if the machine can handle the loads, the
tip radius may be too large to allow the bucket to load
properly. With the flexibility of a quick coupler comes
the responsibility to make sure the bucket or other
attachments are properly sized for each application.
The second type of quick coupler is the pin grab-
ber type. This device pins on the stick and bucket
linkage and grabs the bucket pins on standard pin-
on buckets.
Advantages:
The advantage of the pin grabber is that it will
pick up standard pin-on buckets. No need to pur-
chase new attachments that will fit the system.
Disadvantages:
The pin grabber is mounted between the stick and
the bucket which significantly increases the tip
radius. This can compromise performance. It is an
additional assembly between a standard bucket and
stick. This means it adds more weight and reduces
the excavator’s payload capability.
Pin grabbers are required to mate up with exist-
ing bucket pins. Because different machines require
different pin spreads, they offer very limited abil-
ity to match with buckets from other machines.
Both types of quick couplers offer two types of
actuation. Mechanical … which requires manual
activity to release and engage the attachment. This
process can take from one to five minutes depend-
ing on the coupler design. The other type is cab acti-
vated … this type can usually allow an attachment
change in 30 seconds or less.

ExcavatorsCycle Time Estimating Charts
CYCLE TIME ESTIMATING CHARTS
The digging cycle of the excavator is composed of
four segments:
1. Load Bucket 3. Dump Bucket
2. Swing Loaded 4. Swing Empty
Total excavator cycle time is dependent on machine
size (small machines can cycle faster than large
machines) and job conditions. With excellent job con-
ditions the excavator can cycle fast. As job conditions
become more severe (tougher digging, deeper trench,
more obstacles, etc.), the excavator slows down
accordingly. As the soil gets harder to dig, it takes
longer to fill the bucket. As the trench gets deeper
and the spoil pile larger, the bucket has to travel
farther and the upper structure has to swing farther
on each digging cycle.
Spoil pile or truck location also affects cycle time.
If a truck is located on the floor of the excavation
beside material being moved, 10 to 17 second cycles
are practical. The other extreme would be a truck or
spoil pile located above the excavator 180° from the
excavation.
In sewer construction work the operator may not
be able to work at full speed because he has to dig
around existing utilities, load the bucket inside a
trench shield, or avoid people working in the area.
The Cycle Time Estimating Chart outlines the range
of total cycle time that can be expected as job condi-
tions range from excellent to severe. Many variables
affect how fast the excavator is able to work. The
chart defines the range of cycle times frequently
experienced with a machine and provides a guide
to what is an “easy” or a “hard” job. The estimator
can then evaluate the conditions of his job and use
the Cycle Time Estimating Chart to select the appro-
priate working range. A practical method of further
calibrating the Cycle Time Estimating Chart is to
observe excavators working in the field and corre-
late measured cycle times to job conditions, opera-
tor ability, etc.
The following table breaks down what experience
has shown to be typical Caterpillar excavator cycle
times with
no obstruction in the right of way
above average job conditions
an operator of average ability and
60°-90° swing angle.
These times would decrease as job conditions or
operator ability improved and would get slower as
conditions become less favorable.

ExcavatorsMachine Operation
Caterpillar 300 Series Mass Excavation booms and buckets coupled with the proper stick will help you
move material faster and more efficiently in production excavation and loading applications. With the largest
bucket, shortest stick and long undercarriage your excavator can often do the work of a larger machine. A
longer stick and standard undercarriage make it ideal for loading on-highway trucks and general construc-
tion jobs.
MAXIMIZING PRODUCTION WITH A MASS EXCAVATOR
Ideal Bench Height and Truck Distance — For
stable or consolidated materials, bench height
should be about equal to stick length. For unstable
materials it should be less. The most useful truck
position is when the inside truck body rail is below
the boomstick hinge pin.
Optimum Work Zone and Swing Angle — For
maximum production, the work zone should be
limited to 15° either side of machine center or about
equal to undercarriage width. Trucks should be posi-
tioned as close as possible to machine centerline.
Two alternatives shown here.
Best Distance from the Edge — The machine
should be positioned so that the stick is vertical
when the bucket reaches full load. If the unit is far-
ther back, breakout force is reduced. If it is closer to
the edge, undercutting may occur and time is wasted
bringing the stick back out. Also, the operator should
begin boom-up when the bucket is 75% of the way
through the curl cycle. This should be as the stick
nears the vertical position.
This example reflects the ideal situation. Not all
points are usable on each job, but incorporation of
as many of these points as possible will positively
affect production.
EARTHMOVING PRODUCTION
As with any other piece of material handling
equipment, excavator earthmoving production is
dependent on average bucket payload, average cycle
time and job efficiency. If an estimator can accurately
predict excavator cycle time and bucket payload, a
machine’s earthmoving production can be derived
from the following formula.
m3(yd3)/60 min hr = Cycles/60 min hr 2Avg.
Bucket Payload in m3
(yd3)
m3(yd3)/60 min hr =
60 min/hr
___________________ 2Avg. Bucket Payload
Cycle Time – min in m3(yd3)
Avg. Bucket Payload = Heaped Bucket Capacity
2 Bucket Fill Factor
Actual m3(yd3)/hr = m3(yd3)/60 min hr 2
Job Efficiency Factor
The Production Estimating Tables (next page) will
provide theoretical earthmoving production in cubic
meters (yards) per hour if bucket size and cycle time
can be estimated. The use of an average cycle time
allows adjusting the estimated production for spe-
cific job sites and applications. For instance, estimat-
ing truck loading applications should include truck
exchange times which extends the average cycle
time and reduces production potential. The values
in the table are based on a 60 minute work hour or
100% efficiency (a condition that is never achieved
in reality). The estimator should apply a job effi-
ciency factor to the figures in the table based on his
judgment or knowledge of actual job conditions.
Areas outlined on the Production Estimating Table
define the work ranges of excavators in the size
classes of Caterpillar 307 through 5230 ME Excava-
tors. The upper limit on each area corresponds to
the “fastest practical” cycle time for the machines.
The width of each area corresponds to the range of
bucket payload sizes the machine can handle. An
unshaded box has been provided in each machine
area to provide a guide indicating that the upper
limit of earthmoving production is being approached.
When working beyond the values in the white area,
the estimator should be certain that excellent job
conditions will be encountered (easy digging, shallow
trench, good operator, etc.).
The Production Estimating Table can also serve
as a guide when selecting the proper size machine
to do a job, as is shown in the following example.
Example problem (Metric)
Contractor has a job to move 15 300 Bm3(19 100 Lm3
considering 25% swell factor) of wet sandy loam
material in rear dump on-highway trucks which will
be loaded by an excavator. Average face depth will
be 2.4 m with 60-90 degree average swing angle.
Ten days are available to do the work. Contractor
plans to work 10 hrs/day and estimates a 50 min.
work hour (83% job efficiency). He has two excava-
tors that could be made available to do the work —
a 320 with 1.0 m3bucket or a 330 with 1.9 m3bucket.
Experience has shown that either machine can get
its rated capacity in the sandy loam soil. Could this
job be done with either machine or will the 330 have
to be used?
Solution: The excavator must produce 1900 Lm3/
Day (19 100 Lm3÷ 10 Days) which means the required
average hourly rate will be 190 Lm3/60 Min. Hr.
(1900 Lm3/Day ÷ 10 hrs/day). Further considering
the 83% job efficiency, the excavator’s capability will
have to be 230 Lm3/50 min hr.

ExcavatorsEarthmoving Production
Example Problem
The production estimating table shows that the
320 with a 1.0 m3bucket would have to achieve a
17.1 sec. average cycle time to produce the required
190 Lm3/60 min. hr. With job efficiency applied a
15.0 second average cycle time is required to pro-
duce the 230 Lm3/50 min. hr. The 330 with a 1.9 m3
bucket could obtain the same 60 min. hr. production
level with a 35 second average cycle, or 30 second
cycles to meet the 50 min. hr. production require-
ment. The cycle times estimating chart shows that
the 320 would be working near its maximum capa-
bility to meet the production requirement, whereas,
the 330 could handle the job easily. This informa-
tion can then be weighed against what else is known
about the job (reach requirements, job conditions,
operator ability, etc.) to decide whether or not the
larger machine is needed.
Example problem (English)
Substitute these English values in the preceding
problem:
Job — 20,000 BCY (25,000 LCY considering 25%
swell).
Average face depth — 8-12 ft
320 L with 1.25 yd3bucket or 330 with 2.5 yd3
bucket.
Solution: The excavator must produce 2500 LCY/
Day, which means the required average hourly rate
will be 250 LCY/60 min hr. Further considering the
83% job efficiency the excavators capability will
have to be 300 LCY/50 min hr.
The same concluding comments regarding the
Production Estimating Table apply here as in the
Metric example.

Excavators Trenching Production
Example Problems
EXCAVATOR TRENCHING PRODUCTION
When an excavator is used for trenching applica-
tions, a meaningful expression of work produced is
the machine’s trenching rate expressed in meters
or lineal feet per hour or per day. Trenching rate
depends on the earthmoving production of the exca-
vator being used and the size of the trench being
excavated. Earthmoving production converts to
trenching production as follows:
Lineal Meters of Trench per Hour =
Cubic Meters Excavated per Hour
_____________________________________
Cubic Meters per Lineal Meter of Trench
Lineal Meters of Trench per day = (Lineal Meters
per Hour) 2(Trenching Hours per Day)
Lineal Feet of Trench per Hour =
Yd3Excavated Per Hour
____________________________
Yd3Per Lineal Foot of Trench
Lineal Feet of Trench Per Day = (Lineal Ft Per Hour)
2 (Trenching Hours Per Day)
For machines that work in trenching applications
where they dig all of the time, the Trenching Con-
version Chart provides easy conversion from m3(yd3)
per hour to m (lineal feet) per hour, if the excavating
rate m3/hr (yd3/hr) and trench volume m3/m (yd3/ft)
are known. The following examples demonstrate
how the Trenching Conversion Chart can be used.
Example problem (Metric)
Contractor estimates that the 325 Excavator will
produce 200 Lm3/hour. Trench survey shows that
the trench contains 2.5 Lm3/meter. What trenching
rate will the 325 produce?
Solution: Enter the horizontal axis of the Trenching
Conversion Chart at 200 m3/Hour and move up to
the 2.5 m3/m diagonal line. Then move left to the
vertical axis of chart and read answer of 80 m/hour.
● ● ●
Example problem 2 (Metric)
Contractor knows he must produce 1000 meters of
trench in every 10 hour work day. Survey shows that
trench contains 1.5 Bm3per lineal meter and soil
swell factor is estimated at 30%. How much earth-
moving production will the excavator have to pro-
vide in order to get the job done on time assuming
a 50 min work hour? What Caterpillar excavator
will provide needed production at 6 meter maximum
depth in sandy loam soil?
Solution: Determine trenching requirement 1000 me-
ters in 10 hrs = 100 m/h. Convert Bm3to Lm3(excava-
tor handles Lm3) 1.5 Bm3/m 21.30 = 2.0 Lm3/m. Enter
vertical axis of trenching conversion chart at m/h
and travel horizontally to diagonal line representing
2.0 m3/m. Next move down to horizontal axis and
read answer to 200 Lm3/50 min hr. Convert 200 Lm3/
50 min hr to Lm3/60 min hr = 200 = 241 Lm3/60 min hr.
Production estimating tables in this section show
that 241 Lm3/60 min hr is within the capability of a
325 Excavator. Job should then be checked for reach
and lifting requirements to make sure that the 325
could handle these aspects of the work.
● ● ●
Example problem (English)
Contractor estimates that a 325 Excavator will
produce 250 LCY/Hour. Trench survey shows that
the trench contains 2.5 LCY/Foot. What trenching
rate will the 325 produce?
Solution: Enter the horizontal axis of the Trenching
Conversion Chart at 250 yd3/hr. Then move to the
vertical axis of chart and read answer of 100 ft/hr.
The Trenching Conversion Chart can also be used
to determine the required excavating rate if the con-
tractor can define his trenching production require-
ment and the trench volume per lineal foot.

Example problem 2 (English)
Contractor knows he must produce 1000 ft of
trench in every 10 hr work day. Survey shows that
trench contains 1.6 BCY per lineal ft and soil swell
factor is estimated at 25%. How much earthmoving
production will excavator have to provide in order to
get the job done on time assuming 50 min work
hour? What Caterpillar model will provide needed
production at 8 ft depth in sandy loam soil?
Solution: Determine trenching requirement —
1000 ft in 10 Hrs. = 100 ft/hr
Convert BCY to LCY — 1.6 BCY/ft 21.25 =
2.0 LCY/ft
Enter vertical axis of trenching conversion chart
at 100 ft/hr and travel over to diagonal line repre-
senting 2.0 yd3/ft. Next move down to horizontal axis
and read answer of 200 LCY/50 min hr.
Convert 200 LCY/50 min hr to LCY/60 min hr =
200
____ = 241 LCY/60 min hr
0.83
Production estimating tables in this section show
that 241 LCY/60 min. hr. is within capability of a
325 Excavator. Job should then be checked for reach
and lifting requirements to make sure that the 325
could handle these aspects of the work.

Estimating Bucket Size
Estimating Bucket Size
In addition to the trenching calculations on the
previous pages, an alternative method of figuring
trenching production is the nomograph. Shown on
the following pages, this particular nomograph can
be used for estimating bucket size when given trench
dimensions and linear production rate. The nomo-
graph is quicker and easier than the preceding exam-
ple because it does not require as many calculations,
yet the accuracy is about the same within the nor-
mal limits of input data.
Be careful when entering and reading data from
the nomographs because some scales increase from
bottom to top, while others are the reverse. Do not
be overly concerned with the precision as affected
by pencil line width or reading to the hundredth of
a m3(yd3). Remember that bucket fill factor, mate-
rial density and cycle time are at best close estimates.
Example problem:
A sewer contractor owns a 325 with 2 piece boom
and short stick. He wants to bid a contract for a
3.1 m (10') deep trench which measures 1.8 m (6')
at the top and 1.2 m (4') at the bottom. He must dig
9 m/hr (30 ft/hr) to finish on time. The material is
sand and gravel with a load factor of 0.90 and 100%
bucket fill factor. He works 54 minutes per hour,
half the time digging and half setting pipe. Cycle
time is estimated at 23 seconds which includes a
90° swing angle.
1) Enter trench depth 3.1 m (10') on scale A and
average trench width 1.5 m (5') on scale B.
2) Connect A and B and extend to scale C for bank
volume per m (ft).
3) Enter estimated load factor (0.90) on scale D.
4) Connect C & D and extend to scale E for loose

Excavators Trenching Production
Trenching Rate With Pipesetting
Pipesetting Example Problem
Trenching Production with Pipesetting
On many sewer construction jobs the excavator
does more than just dig the trench. Other tasks
include handling the shoring system, placing bed-
ding material, and lowering the pipe. The normal
work procedure is to open a section of trench and
then stop and make a pipe installation before going
on to dig the next section of trench. At that point
the key to trenching production is the total amount
of time required to install each section of pipe. Pipe
installation time can be broken down as follows:
Digging time + other time = Total pipe installation
time
Total Pipe Installation Time Pipe Installed Per Hour
_______________________ ____________________
60 min 1 Pipe/hr
30 min 2 Pipe/hr
15 min 4 Pipe/hr
10 min 6 Pipe/hr
Digging Time can be calculated once the trench-
ing rate has been calculated using the methods
described earlier in this section. Once Digging Time
has been calculated, it can be added to an estimate
of “Other Time” to determine Total Pipe Installation
Time. “Other Time” can be estimated based on a
contractor’s judgment, experience, or actual meas-
urement on a job. The following formula and table
relate the trenching rate of the excavator to the time
required to open a section of trench for pipe of var-
ious lengths.

200 ft/hr 0.040 2.40 0.060 3.60 0.080 4.80 0.100 6.00
This table can be used to show how an excavator
that is capable of more trenching production will pro-
vide significant advantages even on jobs where the
machine does not dig all of the time. Consider 12,000'
job with 12' sections of pipe (1000 pipe to be installed).
Excavator “A” can work at 60 ft/hr while Excavator
“B” is capable of producing 120 ft/hr. Table shows
that Excavator “B” will only take 0.10 hr to do the
same work. This means that over the course of install-
ing the 1000 pipe the more productive machine will
save 0.10 hr/pipe or 100 hours of working time.
Example problem (English)
The following example shows how trenching pro-
duction can be calculated on a job where the exca-
vator is also required to set pipe. This example is
based on the assumption that the excavators earth-
moving rate and the pipe installation time have
already been estimated by the contractor.
Problem: Contractor estimates that the 350 Exca-
vator will be able to produce 500 LCY/60 min. hr.
Survey shows that an average cross section trench
contains 3.2 BCY/ft and swell factor for sandy clay
soil is estimated at 25%. How much trenching pro-
duction can a contractor expect; assuming it takes
10.0 min. to install each 20 ft length of pipe after
trench has been opened. Also assume 83% job effi-
ciency — 50 min. work hour and 8 work hours out
of a 9 hour shift. (0.5 hours for lunch and two 15
minute breaks.)
Solution:
Convert trench volume to LCY/ft:
1.25 (3.2 BCY/ft) = 4.0 LCY/ft
Convert Earthmoving rate to Trenching rate:
500 LCY/hr
___________ = 125 ft/hr
4.0 LCY/ft
Calculate digging time for each pipe:
20 ft/pipe
_________ = 0.16 hr/pipe = 9.6 min
125 ft/hr
Calculate pipe installation time:
Digging time = 9.6 min
Other time = 10.0 min
________
Pipe Installation time = 19.6 min
Calculate pipe installations/hour:
60 min/hr
____________ = 3.06 pipe/hr
19.6 min/pipe
Calculate max. pipe installations/day:
8 hrs (3.06 pipe/hr) = 24.48 pipe/day
Actual pipe/day:
0.83 (24.48 pipe/day) = 20.3 – 20 pipe/day
Actual feet/day:
(20 pipe/day) 2(20 ft/pipe) = 400 ft/day

for improved efficiency, superior stability through
lower center of gravity and simplified assem-
bly/disassembly process. Modules mount to the
main frame on vertical shear ledges. The Right
Hand (RH) or Power module includes the engine,
pump drive, pumps, filters and engine radiator.
A bulkhead separates the pump drive and engine
compartments. Space between the engine and
radiator allows the engine to be disconnected, slid
forward and lifted from the module. The Left
Hand (LH) or Cooler/Fluids module includes the
hydraulic tank and filters, hydraulic coolers, fuel
tank, autolube system, and cab riser. The cab
riser allows standup access to hydraulic pilot
lines, electrical components, VIMS Main module,
windshield washer reservoir, and cab air filters.
Large castings in critical areas provide supe-
rior stress resistance eliminating welds in high
stress areas. Boom and stick castings provide
structure designs which improve visibility over
competitive designs. Large single floating pins
mount the boom to main frame, boom to stick and
stick to bucket. Single pins provide additional
strength to these critical areas. Caterpillar’s shovel
manufacturing facility uses the latest machining
and manufacturing processes. Large five plane
machining center performs the precision milling
required to mount the swing bearing to the car-
body eliminating the need for a swing bearing
collar assembly.
Proportional Priority Pressure Compensa-
tion hydraulic system delivers excellent con-
trollability with efficient full-powered response.
The system uses a closed center design. Pressure
compensation senses implement loads/pressures
and meters pump flow according to implement
requirements. Pumps deliver only the flow neces-
sary to do the work. The 5130B/5230 hydraulics
have proportioning or flow modulation that senses
the implement loads. Implement valves adjust to
provide consistent and constant feel modulation.
PPPC valves deliver flow proportional to joy stick
deflection. The flow remains proportional even as
pressures change due to increased loads. Operation
is smooth and predictable with reduced effort
improving operator efficiency.
Undercarriage track roller frames on the
5130B/5230 attach to the carbody on large preci-
sion machined surfaces with 32 dowels pressed
fit into the carbody. These dowels provide supe-
rior resistance to shear loads between the car-
body/upper structure and the track roller frames.
Automatic track tension eliminates manual adjust-
ments. Accumulators absorb shock loads caused
by debris passing through the undercarriage.
Sloped track roller frames resist material build
up improving component life. The 5000 U/C uses
solid track pins and positive pin retention. All
undercarriage components are lifetime lubricated
for reduced maintenance. A hunting tooth drive
sprocket alternates tooth-pin engagement result-
ing in extended undercarriage life. The 5230 uses
a patented shovel style single piece cast shoe/link
assembly. Two solid floating pins join the shoe/link
casting providing even pin wear. Four load bear-
ing surfaces increase undercarriage life and elim-
inate track walking.

CHOOSING A TRACK SHOE
In severe underfoot conditions, narrow shoes
impose lower forces on other undercarriage compo-
nents, and normally result in improved overall track
life. Machines working in rock should be equipped
with the narrowest available shoe. Wider shoes will
improve flotation, but shoes wider than those shown
here should not be used. Track shoe width has lit-
tle effect on stability.
Double grouser shoes will provide adequate trac-
tion in most underfoot conditions, and are less dam-
aging to floor and road surfaces. For additional
traction in deep mud, or in rock applications which
allow some grouser penetration, single grouser
shoes are recommended. Hard, smooth quarry floors
that allow little or no grouser penetration are best
handled by the narrowest double grouser shoes.

CURL AND CROWD FORCES
Rated digging forces are the forces that can be
exerted at the outermost cutting point. They are cal-
culated by applying working relief hydraulic pres-
sure to the cylinder(s) providing the digging force.
Weight of components and friction are excluded
from the calculations.
Rated Arm (Stick) Force — is generated by the
arm (stick) cylinder and is tangent to the arc of radius
“A”. The arm is positioned to obtain the maximum
output moment from the arm cylinder with the
bucket positioned as in figure 1.
Rated Bucket Tangential Force — is generated
by the bucket cylinders and is tangent to the arc of
radius “B”. The bucket is positioned to obtain the
maximum output moment from the bucket cylin-
ders and connecting linkage as in figure 2.

Vital Information Management System (VIMS)
MAJOR BOTTOM DUMP BUCKET
APPLICATION FEATURES:
Controlled dumping action permits more accurate
loading of narrow trucks with less chance of spillage.
Closer bucket positioning over the truck, and meter-
ing the material flow on the first pass, lessens
impact on truck bodies increasing their life.
The bottom-dump clamping action is ideal for
sorting in rock applications. Oversized material
can be segregated for secondary breakage. In
some cases, the operator can screen material as
he dumps by limiting the bucket opening.
Sticky material is easier to dislodge, thus avoiding
material build-up which robs production. The bot-
tom-dump bucket bulldozer assembly is nearly
vertical when the bucket is fully open.

VITAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM (VIMS):
VIMS is a Caterpillar exclusive advanced diag-
nostic and equipment management tool designed to
lower operating costs. Equipment utilization can be
improved through higher mechanical availability,
optimized component life, reduced risk of catastrophic
failures, faster diagnostics and improved service-
ability. VIMS includes both on-board hardware and
an off-board software package — VIMS-PC.
The VIMS system “coaches” the operator to improve
vehicle performance and productivity. On-board,
VIMS is designed to work with the operator and not
interfere with equipment operation. In-cab modules
provide meaningful messages, indicators, gauges
and warnings from sensors located throughout the
machine. VIMS provides the operator immediate
access to current machine information. VIMS data
can also be transmitted for in-office/remote machine
monitoring and analysis.
The CAT DATA LINK is the on-board network
allowing communication between VIMS and the many
machine mounted electronic control modules.
VIMS is like having a first rate mechanic riding in
the cab with all of his diagnostic tools connected to
the machine. Listening, watching, monitoring the
entire vehicle by converting data signals from various
sensors into meaningful information. VIMS displays
information in “real-time” and records and stores
information similar to a Flight Data Recorder on an
airplane.
VIMS works with four types of information: 1.
Internal (e.g.: service meter hours); 2. Sensed (e.g.:
Exhaust Temperature); 3. Communicated (e.g.: Tach
from ECM); 4. Calculated (e.g.: fuel consumption).
VIMS organizes and stores information into six
categories: 1. Event List; 2. Event Recorder; 3. Data
Logger; 4. Trends; 5. Cumulatives; 6. Histograms.
VIMS provides value to more than the operator.
Whether you’re in operations, maintenance, engi-
neering, planning or management — Caterpillar’s
VIMS is your best choice for maximizing availabil-
ity, productivity and reducing the risk of cata-
strophic failure while lowering overall cost.

Estimating Cycle Time
Cycle Time Charts
ESTIMATING FRONT SHOVEL CYCLE TIME
The loading cycle of the front shovel is composed
of four segments:
1. Load bucket 3. Dump bucket
2. Swing loaded 4. Swing empty
Total shovel cycle time is dependent on machine
size and job conditions. As conditions become more
severe (tougher loading, more obstacles, etc.), the
shovel slows down accordingly.
The following table breaks down what experience
has shown to be typical Caterpillar Front Shovel
cycle times with above average job conditions and
an operator of average ability.
These times would decrease as job conditions or
operator ability improved and would become slower
as conditions become less favorable. For example:
Tough material . . . . . . . . . .Longer bucket fill and
dump time.
Greater swing angle . . . . . . . .Longer swing times.
Operator ability . . . . . . . . .Affects total cycle time.
Loading from the top down . . . . . . . .May improve
swing time.

Features 517 and 527:
Exceptional balance — roller frames extended
to rear significantly improves traction capability
under heavy loads and uphill skidding applica-
tions.
Excellent ground clearance — no diagonal
braces allow tractor to pass over stumps and debris,
reduces maneuvering for reduced cycle times and
minimizes soil impact. Smooth belly pans are also
less likely to hang up in mud or debris in soft
ground or swamp logging applications.
Outstanding sidehill stability — wide gauge
and long track roller frames provide excellent
sidehill capability.
Improved flotation — more track on ground dis-
tributes tractor weight and propulsion forces over
a much larger area than conventional track skid-
ders or wheel skidders. This improves flotation
capabilities, gradeability and significantly reduces
soil impact.
Superior component durability — final drives
are raised above the work area, isolating the power-
train from ground impact shock loads and abrasive
materials.
Outstanding reliability and durability — built
to handle the toughest logging conditions.

Track SkiddersGrapples
GRAPPLES
Fixed boom Grapples for Cat 517 and 527 Skidders
are built and supplied by Caterpillar. Swing boom
grapples are built by independent manufacturers of
auxiliary equipment (AEMS) to Caterpillar specifi-
cations. The following contains information on some
of the available models, which are presented here
to suggest a range of grapple possibilities.
Reach (A, B) — The horizontal distance from the
vertical center of the rear idler to the vertical cen-
ter of the grapple fore and aft pivot.
A) With the grapple in its lowest fully extended
position.
B) With the grapple in its highest fully retracted
position.
Lift (C, E) — The vertical distance from the
ground to the center of the grapple fore and aft
pivot.
C) With the grapple in its lowest fully extended
position.
E) With the grapple in its highest fully retracted
position.
Maximum Grapple Opening (K) — The hori-
zontal distance between the tips of the grapple arms
when grapple is fully open.
Area of Opening (L) — The available area with
grapple in tips together position.
Minimum Log Size (M) — The smallest diam-
eter which the grapple can close.
Grapple Length (N, O, P) — The distance from
the grapple fore and aft pivot to tips of grapple arms.
N) With grapple fully open.
O) With grapple in tips together position.
P) With grapple fully closed.
Sorting Grapple
Used for 305 mm (12") or larger
diameter trees.
Designed to pick up individual or
several stems for quick cycles.
Bunching Grapple
Used for 305 mm (12") or smaller
diameter trees.
Designed to gather bundle of stems
and maximize grapple loads.
6-14
Swing-boom
Ability to reach and lift over the side to collect
scattered logs.
Has decking and loading capability.
Excellent reach to the rear and side for maximum
skidder versatility.
Suitable for hard to reach timber on steep slopes,
soft ground, or selection harvest and thinning.
Reduces cycle times by reducing the amount of
manuevering of the skidder to reach logs.
Single-function arch
Versatile attachment suitable for selection and
clear cut applications.
Reach consists of one vertical arc.
Typical application includes short cycles and/or
larger diameter timber.

The auger scraper is a self-loading system that offers an alternative to conventional, push-pull or elevating scrapers. An
independent hydrostatic system powers the auger which is located near the center of the bowl.The rotating auger lifts and evenly
distributes over 50% of the material that flows over the scraper cutting edge.This action reduces the cutting edge resistance allow-
ing the wheel tractor-scraper to continue moving through the cut and quickly obtain full rated loads.

USE OF RIMPULL-SPEED-
GRADEABILITY CURVES
The following explanation applies to Rimpull-Speed-
Gradeability curves for Wheel Tractor-Scrapers,
Construction & Mining Trucks/Tractors and Artic-
ulated Trucks.
Maximum speed attainable, gear range and avail-
able rimpull can be determined from curves on the
following pages when machine weight and total
effective grade (or total resistance) are known.
Rimpull is the force (in kg, lb or kN) available
between the tire and the ground to propel the
machine (limited by traction).
Weight is defined as Gross Machine Weight (kg or lb)
= Machine + Payload.
Total Effective Grade (or Total Resistance) is grade
resistance plus rolling resistance expressed as
percent grade.
Grade is measured or estimated.
Rolling resistance is estimated (see Tables section
for typical values.)
10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/U.S. ton) = 1% adverse grade.
Example
With a 6% grade and a rolling resistance of 40 kg/
metric ton (80 lb/U.S. ton), find total resistance.
Rolling resistance = 40 kg/t ÷ 10 = 4% Effective
Grade
(English: 80 lb ÷ 20 = 4%)
Total resistance = 4% rolling + 6% grade = 10%
Altitude Derating
Rimpull force and speed must be derated for alti-
tude similar to flywheel horsepower. The percent-
age loss in rimpull force approximately corresponds
to the percentage loss in flywheel horsepower. See
Tables Section for altitude derations.
Rimpull-Speed-Gradeability
To determine gradeability performance: Read
from gross weight down to the % of total resistance.
(Total resistance equals actual % grade plus 1% for
each 10 kg/metric ton (20 lb./U.S. ton) of rolling
resistance.) From this weight-resistance point, read
horizontally to the curve with the highest obtain-
able speed range, then down to the maximum speed.
Usable rimpull depends upon traction and weight
on drive wheels.
Example problem:
A 631E Series II with an estimated payload of
34 020 kg (75,000 lb) is operating on a total effec-
tive grade of 10%. Find the available rimpull and
maximum attainable speed.
Empty weight payload = Gross Weight
43 945 kg + 34 020 kg = 77 965 kg
(96,880 lb + 75,000 lb = 171,880 lb)
Solution: Using graph on the next page, read from
77 965 kg (171,880 lb) (point A) on top of gross
weight scale down the line to the intersection of the
10% total resistance line (point B).
Go across horizontally from B to the Rimpull
Scale on the left (point D). This gives the required
rimpull: 7756 kg (17,100 lb).
Where the line cuts the speed curve (point C),
read down vertically (point E) to obtain the maxi-
mum speed attainable for the 10% effective grade:
12.9 km/h (8 mph).
ANSWER: The machine will climb the 10% effec-
tive grade at a maximum speed of 12.9 km/h (8 mph)
in 4th gear. Available rimpull is 7756 kg (17,100 lb).

USE OF TRAVEL TIME CHARTS
The following explanation applies to travel time
charts for Wheel Tractor-Scrapers, Construction &
Mining Trucks and Articulated Trucks.
One-way travel time can be determined from
graphs on the following pages when one-way travel
distance and total resistance (expressed in percent)
are known. 10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/U.S. ton) equals
1% equivalent grade.
If total resistance is negative (grade assistance
greater than rolling resistance) machine may accel-
erate downhill requiring the use of retarder or
brakes. Travel time charts cannot be used in these
cases. Consult respective machine retarder curve to
establish maximum safe downhill speed.
Two graphs are given for each hauling unit: one
for the machine carrying its rated payload and one
for the empty machine.
Travel times were derived using Caterpillar Machine
Simulation Program and standard tire inputs.
Travel times for machines equipped with (larger)
optional tires vary slightly.
Example problem:
631E Series II hauls its rated payload 34 020 kg
— 19.1 bank cubic meters (75,000 lb — 25 bank
cubic yards) on a 4% road for 610 m (2000 feet) and
returns on a 0% road for 760 m (2500 feet). Find the
cycle time.
Haul —
Using the graph for the Loaded machine, read
from the Travel Distance (one way) scale at 610 m
(2000 feet) across to the 4% total resistance line
(point A). From (point A) read down to the Travel Time
(one way) scale to determine haul time = 1.4 minutes.

Using the graph for the Empty machine, read
from the Travel Distance (one way) scale at 760 m

*Load time per pair, including transfer time.
NOTE: Empty Weights shown on the Wheel Tractor-
Scraper charts includes ROPS Canopy. The
travel times will remain within acceptable
limits when applied to a non-ROPS equipped
machine. When calculating TMPH loadings
any additional weight must be considered
in establishing mean tire loads.
USE OF RETARDER CURVES
The following explanation applies to retarder curves
for Wheel Tractor-Scrapers and Articulated Trucks.
The speed that can be maintained (without use
of service brake) when the machine is descending a
grade with retarder fully on can be determined from
the retarder curves in this section if gross machine
weight and total effective grade are known.
Total Effective Grade (or Total Resistance) is grade
assistance minus rolling resistance.
10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/U.S. ton) = 1% adverse
grade.
Example
15% favorable grade with 5% rolling resistance.
Find Total Effective Grade.
Total Effective Grade = 15% Grade Assistance —
5%
Rolling Resistance = 10% Total Effective Grade
Assistance.
Example problem:
A 651E with an estimated payload of 47 175 kg
(104,000 lb) descends a 10% total effective grade.
Find constant speed and gear range with maximum
retarder effort. Find travel time if the slope is 610 m
(2000 ft) long.
Empty Weight + Payload = Gross Weight
= 60 950 kg + 47 175 kg = 108 125 kg
(134,370 lb + 104,000 lb = 238,370 lb)

Retarder Curves
Solution: Using the retarder curve below, read from
108 125 kg (238,370 lb) (point A) on top of gross
weight scale down the line to the intersection of the
10% effective grade line (point B).
Go across horizontally from point B to the inter-
section of the retarder curve (point C). Point C inter-
sects at the 5 (5th gear) range.
Where point C intersects the retarder curve, read
down vertically to point D on the bottom scale to
obtain the constant speed: 21.7 km/h (13.5 mph).
ANSWER: The 651E will descend the slope at
21.7 km/h (13.5 mph) in 5th gear. Travel time is
1.68 minutes.
610 m
__________ = 1.68 min
363 m/min *(mph 3 88 = F.P.M.)
2000 ft
_______________ = 1.68 min
13.5 mph 388*
NOTE: The basic Distance-Speed-Time formula is
60 D ÷ S = T (or “60 D Street”), where 60 is
minutes, D is distance, S is speed and T is
time. In the above problem, 60 3610 m ÷
21.7 km/h 31000 = T.
60 3610
____________ = T = (1.68)
21.7 31000

Features:
Caterpillar four-stroke-cycle diesels … turbo-
charged, aftercooled, adjustment-free fuel system
(direct injection).
Electronically-controlled automatic trans-
mission … speed sensing device automatically
shifts transmission between 1st and gear selected
by operator.
Truck Production Management System
(TPMS) utilizes strut pressure sensors and an
on-board microprocessor to determine payload
weight, cycle segment times, delay times, actual
clock time and date of each cycle.
Vital Information Management System (VIMS)
Monitors all vital machine functions. Keeps oper-
ator informed of current machine operating condi-
tions, helps reduce downtime and allows service
personnel easy access to data for fast accurate diag-
nosis. VIMS includes Production Management
System.
Electronic Unit Injection (EUI) in the 776D-
793C and Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection
(HEUI) on 769D-775D electronically maintains
fuel settings, provides automatic altitude and air
filter restriction compensation, automatic vari-
able timing, improved diagnostics and increased
fuel efficiency.
Oil cooled disc brakes provide retarding, service,
parking, and secondary braking in one sealed,
fade-resistant, maintenance-free unit. 769D-777D
front brakes are caliper disc, can be switched out
of the service system when not needed but acti-
vate as part of the secondary system. (Front oil-
cooled brakes optional on 777D.) 784C-793C front
brakes are oil-cooled disc.
Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) electroni-
cally controls braking on grade to maintain faster
downhill speeds and consistently higher engine
speed.
Full hydraulic steering, with front suspension
cylinders serving as kingpins.
Four independent, self-contained, oil-pneumatic
suspension cylinders absorb loading and road
shocks. Wide spacing for stability.
Dual slope body has V-bottom for load balance
and retention. Low loading height and center of
gravity.
Quarry trucks have single-slope flat floor for
smooth, metered dumping into crushers or hoppers.
Optional flat floor body available for 769D, 773D.
Integral Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
cab standard on all models.
Separate hydraulic systems prevents cross
contamination.
Tractor Features:
Yoke type hitch oscillates four ways to reduce
frame stresses. Rugged turn stops prevent exces-
sive wagon rotation either direction.
Rear platform functions as a power train guard
and provides safe, stable work area. Fenders and
mud flaps protect from material thrown by tires.
NOTE: Listed features may be standard on some models. Optional on others.

USE OF BRAKE PERFORMANCE CURVES
The speed that can be maintained when the
machine is descending a grade with retarder applied
can be determined from the retarder curves in this
section when gross machine weight and total effec-
tive grade are known.
Select appropriate grade distance chart that covers
total downhill haul; don’t break haul into individ-
ual segments.
To determine brake performance: Read from gross
weight down to the percent effective grade. (Effec-
tive grade equals actual % grade minus 1% for each
10 kg/metric ton (20 lb./U.S. ton) of rolling resis-
tance.) From this weight-effective grade point, read
horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable
speed range, then down to maximum descent speed
brakes can safely handle without exceeding cooling
capacity. When braking, engine RPM should be
maintained at the highest possible level without
overspeeding. If cooling oil overheats, reduce ground
speed to allow transmission to shift to next lower
speed range.
USE OF RIMPULL-SPEED-
GRADEABILITY CURVES
(See Wheel Tractor Scraper Section)
Total Effective Grade (or Total Resistance) is grade
assistance minus rolling resistance.
10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/U.S. ton) = 1% adverse
grade.
Example —
With a favorable grade of 20% and rolling resis-
tance of 50 kg/metric ton (100 lb/U.S. ton), find Total
Effective Grade.
(50 kg/metric ton) = 50 ÷ 10 = 5% Effective Grade
(from Rolling Resistance)
100 lb/ton = 100 ÷ 20 = 5% Effective Grade
20% (grade) – 5% (resistance) =
15% Total Effective Grade
TYPICAL FIXED TIMES FOR HAULING UNITS
Wait time, delays and operator efficiency all impact
cycle time. Minimizing truck exchange time can
have a significant effect on productivity.
Fixed time for hauling units include:
1. Truck load time (various with loading tool)
2. Truck maneuver in load area (Truck exchange)
(Typically 0.6-0.8 min.)
3. Maneuver and dump time at dump point (Typi-
cally 1.0-1.2 min.)
Total cycle time is the combination of:
1. The above fixed time
2. Hauling time (Loaded)
3. Return time (Empty)
Example — assume load tool spots hauler with full
bucket

MECHANICAL POWER TRAIN EFFICIENCIES
In selling against electric drive trucks, power
train efficiency is an important consideration. To
better illustrate the advantages of mechanical drive
performance, grade horsepower, power train effi-
ciency, and retarding horsepower should be com-
pared to electric drive trucks.
Grade horsepower can be calculated by the fol-
lowing formula:
Metric
GMW (kg) 2TR 2Speed (km/h)
grade HP = ______________________________
273.75
English
GMW (lb) 2TR 2Speed (mph)
grade HP =______________________________
375
where TR
(total
resistance) = Rolling resistance + Grade resistance
(expressed as a decimal)
English example
700,000 lb GMW, 2% rolling resistance, +8% actual
grade at 8.2 mph would require 1530 HP
700,000 2(.02 + .08) 28.2
___________________________ = 1530 HP
375
Metric example
317 520 kg GMW, 2% rolling resistance, +8% actual
grade at 13.2 km/h would require 1530 HP
317 520 2(.02 + .08) 213.2
___________________________ = 1530 HP
273.75
We then calculate power train efficiency by divid-
ing grade horsepower by the gross horsepower pro-
duced by the engine. Most electric drive trucks run
at constant maximum horsepower while under load.
Mechanical drive trucks, however, lug the engine
and may produce somewhat less than maximum
horsepower. Engine power curves must be utilized
to determine exact horsepower produced.
Example
1530 grade horsepower
______________________ 2100 = 85% power train
1800 gross engine HP efficiency
This exercise illustrates the effect of an efficient
mechanical drive power train and should yield
results in the 80-85% efficiency range. The same
calculation for electric drive trucks would be lower
(70-78% range) with a maximum efficiency of about
78% for the most common systems.
Likewise, retarding horsepower being consumed
by the retarding system can be calculated by the fol-
lowing formula:
Metric
GMW (kg) 2TR 2Speed (km/h)
retarding =______________________________
HP 273.75
English
GMW (lb) 2TR 2Speed (mph)
retarding =______________________________
375
where TR
(total
resistance) = Rolling resistance + Grade resistance
(expressed as a decimal)
English example
700,000 lb GMW, 2% rolling resistance, –8% actual
grade at 14.7 mph would equate to –1646 HP
700,000 2(.02 – .08) 214.7
___________________________ = 1646 HP
375
Metric example
317 520 kg GMW, 2% rolling resistance, –8% actual
grade at 23.6 km/h would equate to –1646 HP
317 520 2(.02 – .08) 223.6
____________________________ = 1646 HP
273.75
This formula is intended for use in determining
horsepower being consumed in the field based on
field measurements. It is not intended to indicate
how fast trucks should be operated on grade. Only
job conditions, proper operating procedure, and good
judgement should determine safe operating speeds
during retarder use.

Articulated TrucksSpecifications
Three-Axle Models
A variety of special arrangements are available
on a custom product basis. Below is a summary of
some of the most popular versions, which are attain-
able in different model sizes. Please contact your
Caterpillar dealer for details and availability.
Refuse Haulers — Very large capacity body arrange-
ments for transport of bulk solid waste, normally
used between a transfer station and the face of a
sanitary landfill. Arrangement includes large capac-
ity body, extended rear frame and scissors tailgate.
Hydraulically operated steel covers — Available
for certain refuse bodies. The covers improve light
material retention during transport.
Container Carriers — Allows transport and dump
of 6 m (20'0") ISO containers. Usual application is
handling containerized waste in landfills. Arrange-
ment includes an extended and reinforced rear
frame combined with a special tipping structure.
Transverse Steering — Improves maneuverabil-
ity in areas with limited space, like tunnels, under-
ground mines and industrial sites. This option allows
the truck to turn completely around in a space slightly
longer than the truck itself. Available for two axle
trucks only.
Heavy Duty Bodies — More robust bodies made
with thicker plates and incorporating rock deflec-
tors for tire protection. Increase the vehicle’s mate-
rial appetite and provide longer life in applications
involving highly abrasive materials and high impact
loading.
Extended Chassis/Water Wagons — Long wheel
base chassis, suitable for installation of low center
of gravity liquid tanks and other AEM accessories.
The extended rear frame permits use of low center
of gravity arrangements for added stability. Common
applications are haul road dust control and off-road
transport of water or fuel. Available for three axle
trucks only.
Coal Haulers — Machines configured with large
capacity body, extended rear frame and scissors tail-
gate, for transport of coal. The longer frame helps
maintain stability and gives loading height acces-
sible to many loading systems.
Sugar Cane Haulers — May be manufactured by
using extended rear frame chassis, adding a sub
frame and special tires.

Use of Ground Pressure Charts
Articulated trucks are normally equipped with
wide base radial tires, for improved flotation in poor
underfoot conditions. Ground pressure is a function
of tire deflection and is also affected by tire pene-
tration. The charts in this section provide a means
to estimate ground pressure for 0 and 76 mm (3")
tire penetration, when gross vehicle weight, axle
load distribution and tire inflation pressure are
known. The ground pressure charts on the following
pages are based on Michelin XADN tire character-
istics. Results may differ for other tread patterns.
Tire load can be calculated by the following formula:
Heaviest Axle Load
Tire load = __________________
2
Example
Find the ground pressure generated by a D250E
fully loaded with zero and 76 mm (3") tire penetra-
tion. The machine is equipped with standard Michelin
23.5R25 tires, inflated to the recommended pressure.
43 680 kg 20.34
D250E Tire Load = ________________ = 7426 kg
2
96,300 lb 20.34
D250E Tire Load = ________________ = 16,371 lb
2
From the tire section in this book, inflation pres-
sure for the D250E is 325 kPa = 3.25 bar (47 psi).
From the ground pressure chart for 23.5R25 tires,
Ground pressure = 3.1 kg/cm2(44 psi) with zero tire
penetration.
Ground pressure = 1.4 kg/cm2(21 psi) with 76 mm
(3 in) tire penetration.
See the Wheel Tractor Scraper section for
explanation on using:

section for Hauling Unit Fixed Times.

CONSIDERATIONS IN MACHINE SELECTION
The following factors should be considered when
comparing wheels vs. tracks:
Traction
You can figure coefficient of traction, depending
on underfoot conditions, from the Table Section
in this book.
Wheels — up to 0.65 (in quarry pit with good
floor)
Track — up to 0.90 (in soils permitting grouser
penetration)
Usable Rimpull = Machine Weight 2Coefficient
of Traction
Speed
Wheels — travel speeds up to three times higher
than track.
Maneuverability
Articulated steering and good visibility give wheel
tractors high maneuverability.
Cost
See Owning and Operating Costs section. Tire vs
undercarriage costs can often be the deciding fac-
tor in selecting wheels or tracks.
Compaction
Ground Pressure:
Wheels — from 241 kPa (35 psi) to 310 kPa
(45 psi)
Tracks — from 82 kPa (12 psi) to 97 kPa (14 psi)
Application
Utility … mobility, maneuverability and good
speed suit wheel tractors for yard and stockpile
work and for clean-up around shovels. Lower
maintenance costs may be realized in certain soils
that can be highly abrasive to track-type under-
carriages.
Coal pile … recommend wheel tractors in this
application when following conditions are present:
— Long push distances
— Need for good material spread
— High degree of compaction desired
Production Dozing … a wheel tractor should be
considered in the following conditions:
— Long push distances
— Loose soils, little or no rock
— Level or downhill work
— Good underfoot conditions
Pushloading Scrapers … a wheel tractor should
be considered in the following conditions:
— Thin scraper cut
— Good underfoot conditions — no rock
— Higher push speeds
Chip and Coal Scoops … may adversely affect per-
formance andor reliability, particularly when
adverse grades are encountered.
COUNTERWEIGHTS AND BALLAST
For each specific application, there is a correct
machine weight for proper balancing of traction, flo-
tation, mobility and response.
Low machine weight may increase tire slipping
and wear, but improves flotation, mobility and
machine response.
High machine weight increases traction, but
decreases mobility and response.
The machine weight is optimum for the operating
conditions when wheel slipping barely occurs in the
gear being used. Weight distribution under operat-
ing conditions should then be approximately equal
between the wheels to balance power to each axle.
Application
Lower machine weight is usually required for typi-
cal second gear applications, such as fill spreading,
stockpiling, road maintenance, towing compactors
and shovel cleanup.
Higher machine weight is usually required for
such typical first gear applications as heavy dozing
and pushloading.
Tire Ballast
A solution of calcium chloride and water is recom-
mended for tire ballast. It has the advantage of low
cost with simple quick adjustment to suit working
conditions.
TIRE SELECTION & MAINTENANCE
Requirements of traction, flotation and tire life
are met by a choice of tire size, tread design and
inflation pressure.
Tire Width
For good conditions with little rolling resistance
on surfaces where flotation is no problem, a nar-
rower tire may be most economical. It may also be
considered in muddy conditions in which the mud
can be penetrated to reach firm earth underneath.
11-6
Wheel Tractors Machine Selection
Counterweights and Ballast
Tire Selection & Maintenance
Where flotation problems and increased rolling
resistance are encountered, wider tires are recom-
mended. The greater contact area and shallower
penetration increases flotation.
Tire Size
Larger optional tires will also improve flotation
in soft conditions. With larger diameter, rimpull will
be reduced which may be desirable to help control
wheel spin.
Traction Tread (L-2) tire’s penetration ability pro-
vides improved traction under some soil conditions.
Rock Tread (L-3) offers improved traction and a
more cut resistant rubber compound than the L-2.
It provides more rubber at the ground with the same
footprint and reduces tire penetration under abra-
sive conditions. Recommended on any hard smooth
surface such as rock, concrete or compacted earth.
Rock — Deep Tread (L-4) provides 50% more
tread depth, thicker undertread and sidewall with
increased tire life when compared to the L-3 tire.
Recommended in rock conditions where sharp frag-
ments cause high tire wear or sudden failures.
Rock — Extra Deep Tread (L-5) provides 150%
more tread depth when compared to the L-3 tire.
Intended for severe rock conditions with extreme
penetration hazards.
Chains should be considered in severe applications
where extra tread tires still give unsatisfactory life.
Operating costs vary greatly depending on applica-
tion, underfoot conditions, wheel spin and chain
maintenance. Under normal rock operating condi-
tions (short cycle, low average speed and minimum
wheel spin) the maximum estimated chain life is
about 2000 hours. Before installing chains, carefully
weigh their overall economics against known tire
costs. Chains are not recommended with new rock
extra tread tires but can extend the life of a used
tire. Always check clearance around tires before
using chains.
Major applications where chains can be considered
include:
stripping rock or rocky soils
clean-up work around rock loading shovels
— any application where underfoot conditions
cause excessive tire wear.
Inflation Pressure
In average operating conditions the recommended
inflation pressure prevents excessive deflection and
minimizes tire rollover on side slopes.
Over-inflation
Reduces amount of tread contact with ground and
provides less flotation. Over-inflation causes center
of tread to wear faster and increases the chance of
cuts and impact breaks.
Under-inflation
Can cause permanent tire damage in the form of
flex breaks, radial cracks, and tread or ply separa-
tion. On jobs where wrinkling and bead rollover are
not apparent, inflation pressure may be reduced to a
minimum of:
Bias Ply 170 kPa (25 psi) on 35/65-33
170 kPa (25 psi) on 29.5-25
170 kPa (25 psi) on 26.5-25
170 kPa (25 psi) on 23.5-25
Radial 310 kPa (45 psi) on 35/65R 33
310 kPa (45 psi) on 29.5R 25
205 kPa (30 psi) on 26.5R 25
240 kPa (35 psi) on 23.5R 25
Reduced pressure will:
Increase flotation and traction in sand.
Improve envelopment characteristics to reduce
sudden death failure on rock jobs.
Provide better tread wear by reducing contact
pressure between tire and ground.

COMPACTION FUNDAMENTALS
The following discussion applies to soil com-
paction only. For information on refuse compaction,
see Waste Disposal section of this book.
Definition
Compaction is the process of physically densifying
or packing the soil … resulting in increased weight
per unit volume. It is generally accepted that the
strength of a soil can be increased by densification.
Three important factors affect compaction.
— Material gradation
— Moisture content
— Compactive effort
Material Gradation — refers to the distribution
(% by weight) of the different particle sizes within a
given soil sample. A sample is well-graded if it
contains a good, even distribution of particle sizes. A
sample composed of predominantly one size particle,
is said to be poorly-graded. In terms of compaction,
a well-graded soil will compact more easily than one
that is poorly-graded. In well-graded material the
smaller particles tend to fill the empty spaces
between the larger particles, leaving fewer voids after
compaction.
MATERIAL GRADATION
Moisture Content — or the amount of water
present in a soil, is very important to compaction.
Water lubricates soil particles thus helping them
slide into the most dense position. Water also creates
clay particle bonding, giving cohesive materials their
sticky qualities.
OPTIMUM MOISTURE
Heavy clay 17.5%
Silty clay 15.0%
Sandy clay 13.0%
Sand 10.0%
Gravel, sand, clay
mix (pit run) 7.0%
Experience has shown that it is very difficult, if not
impossible, to achieve proper compaction in materi-
als that are too dry or too wet. Soil experts have
determined that in practically every soil there is an
amount of water, called optimum moisture content,
at which it is possible to obtain maximum density
with a given amount of compactive effort. The curve
below shows this relationship between dry density
and moisture content. It is called a compaction curve,
moisture-density curve or Proctor curve.
Compactive Effort — refers to the method employed
by a compactor to impart energy into the soil to
achieve compaction. Compactors are designed to use
one or a combination of the following types of com-
pactive effort.
— Static weight (or pressure)
— Kneading action (or manipulation)
— Impact (or sharp blow)
— Vibration (or shaking)

COMPACTOR TYPES
Compaction equipment can be grouped generally
into the following classifications:
sheepsfoot
vibratory
pneumatic
high speed tamping foot
chopper wheels (see Landfill Compactor section)
Combinations of these types are also available,
such as a vibrating smooth steel drum.
For ease of comparison, the compactors have been
placed on the Zones of Application Chart shown
below. This chart contains a range of material mois-
tures from 100% clay to 100% sand, plus a rock zone.
Each type has been positioned in what is considered
to be its most effective and economical zone of appli-
cation. However, it is not uncommon to find them
working out of their zones. Exact positioning of the
zones can vary with differing material conditions.

COMPACTOR PRODUCTION
Compactor production is expressed in compacted
cubic meters (Cm3) or compacted cubic yards (CCY)
per hour. Material in its natural or bank state is
measured in bank cubic meters or yards (Bm3or BCY).
When it is removed or placed in a fill, it is measured
in loose cubic meters or yards (Lm3or LCY).
When the loose material is worked into a com-
pacted state, the relationship of compacted material
to bank material is shown as the shrinkage factor
(SF). Compacted cubic meters (Cm3)
SF = ____________________________
Bank cubic meters (Bm3)
Compacted cubic yards (CCY)
SF = ____________________________
Bank cubic yards (BCY)
The construction industry has developed the fol-
lowing formula for use in estimating compactor
production. This formula gives the material volume
a given machine can compact in a 60-minute hour.
Metric Method
W 2S 2L
Cm3=___________
P
W = Compacted width per pass, in meters. (For
Caterpillar Compactors it is recommended
that W = Twice the width of one wheel.)
S = Average speed, in kilometers per hour.
L = Compacted thickness of lift, in millimeters.
P = Number of machine passes to achieve com-
paction (can only be determined by
testing the compacted material den-
sity on-the-job).
English Method
W 2S 2L216.3
CCY/Hr = __________________
P
W = Compacted width per pass, in feet. (For
Caterpillar Compactors it is recommended
that W = Twice the width of one wheel.)
S = Average speed, in miles per hour.
L = Compacted thickness of lift, in inches.
16.3 = Conversion constant, equals 5280 feet ÷
12 inches ÷ 27 cubic feet
P = Number of machine passes to achieve
compaction (can only be determined
by testing the compacted material
density on-the-job).
Example problem (Metric)
Determine production for an 815F operating
under the following conditions:
P = 5, S = 10 km/h, L = 100 mm
Refer to 815F in the production table on the next
page. Read down the first column until reaching sec-
tion for 5 passes. Within this section in the second
column, find the speed closest to 10 km/h. Read
across this line to the 100 mm compacted lift. Read
the production figure given.
Answer: 377 Cm3/h. (Since the machine’s speed of
10 km/h is slightly faster than the 9.5 of the table,
production may be interpolated slightly higher — say
395 Cm3/h.)
Example problem (English)
Determine production for an 825G operating
under the following conditions:
P = 4, S = 8 mph, L = 6 inches
Refer to the production estimating table on the next
page. This table contains estimates for the 815F and
825G Compactors using various speeds, lift thick-
nesses and number of passes. These figures were
calculated using the formula discussed on this page.
The figures represent 100% efficiency. W = Twice
the width of one wheel.
In the 825 portion of this table, read down the
first column until reaching the section for four
passes. Within this section in the second column,
find the line for 8 mph. Read across this line to the
lift thickness column for 6 inches. Read the pro-
duction figure given.
Answer: 1444 CCY/hr.

COMPACTION FUNDAMENTALS
To maximize compaction, the following guidelines
should be employed when possible:
1. Refuse Layer Thickness — The depth of each
com-pacted layer is perhaps the single most
important controllable factor influencing density.
To obtain maximum density efficiency, waste
should be spread and compacted in layers not
exceeding a depth of 609 mm (2'0"). Deeper
layers will reduce the density that a machine can
develop in a given number of passes. (See top
table at right.)
2. Number of Passes made over the refuse also affects
density. Regardless of what type of machine
used, the unit should make 3-4 passes to achieve
optimum density. The following graph illustrates
that more than five passes result in little addi-
tional compactive effort. The added expense of
additional passes is not justified by the incremen-
tal increase in density. (See bottom table at right).
3. Slope — To maximize compaction, a compactor
should be operated on as flat a slope as possible.
This is because the weight of the landfill compactor
is more efficiently utilized and concentrated when
working on a flat surface. Landfill compactors
should never operate on a slope steeper than 4:1.
(Note: Ballasting the wheels on Caterpillar Landfill
Compactors to increase machine weight and achieve
higher compaction densities is not recommended.
Landfills are high rimpull applications. Ballasting
the wheels will significantly increase machine weight
but decrease overall performance when traveling on
the fill. Also, wheels are not necessarily air tight or
leak proof. For more landfill discussion please see
Waste Disposal section of this handbook.)

SPECIFICATION DEFINITIONS FOR
FRONT END LOADERS
Caterpillar wheel and track loader specifications
conform to Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
definitions as expressed in standards J732 (JUN92),
as follows:
Description of Specification Machine
On wheel loaders the tire inflation pressure at
which specifications are taken must be described in
addition to the current written basic machine descrip-
tion. On track loaders the type of grouser must be
specified.
Hydraulic Cycle Times
a. “Raise Time’’ — Time in seconds required to raise
the bucket from level position on the ground.
b. “Lower Time’’ — Time in seconds required to
lower the empty bucket from the full height to
a level position on the ground.
c. “Dump Time’’ — Time in seconds required to
move the bucket at maximum height from the
maximum rollback position to full dump posi-
tion while dumping the SAE loose material oper-
ating load.
Breakout Force
“Breakout force,’’ pounds (and kilonewtons or kilo-
grams) — the maximum sustained vertical upward
force exerted 100 mm (4") behind the tip of the bucket
cutting edge and achieved through the ability to lift
and/or rollback about the specified pivot point under
the following conditions:
a. Loader on a hard level surface with transmis-
sion in neutral.
b. All brakes released.
c. Unit at standard operating weight — rear of
loader not tied down.
d. Bottom of cutting edge parallel to and not more
than 20 mm (0.75") above or below the ground
line.
e. When bucket circuit is used the pivot point must
be specified as the bucket hinge pin, and the unit
blocked under the bucket hinge pin pivot point
in order to minimize linkage movement.
f. When the lift circuit is used, the pivot point
must be specified as the lift arm hinge pin.
Wheel loaders shall have front axle blocked to
eliminate change in position of pivot pins due
to tire deflection.
g. If both circuits are used simultaneously, the
dominating pivot point listed in (e) or (f) must
be specified.
h. If the circuit used causes the rear of the vehi-
cle to leave the ground, then the vertical force
value required to raise the rear of the vehicle is
the breakout force.
i. For irregular shaped buckets, the tip of the
bucket cutting edge referred to above shall mean
the farther forward point of the cutting edge.
The following are illustrations used (according to
provisions of SAE J732 JUN92) to measure Caterpillar
Loader breakout forces.
a. Breakout force resulting from rackback:
(Tilt Force) 3 (Dist. “X’’) = (“Y’’ Dist.) 3
(Breakout Force)
(Tilt Force) 3 (Dist. “X’’) = Breakout Force
“Y’’ Dist.

Breakout (Linkage Wt.) 3(Dist. “Z1’’)
Force = (Dist. “Y1’’) + (Dist. “V1’’) 3
(Linkage Mech. Advantage)
Static Tipping Load
The minimum weight at center of gravity of “SAE
Rated’’ load in bucket which will rotate rear of
machine to a point where, on track loaders, front
rollers are clear of the track and on wheel loaders,
rear wheels are clear of the ground under the fol-
lowing conditions:
a. Loader on hard level surface and stationary.
b. Unit at standard operating weight.
c. Bucket at maximum rollback position.
d. Load at maximum forward position during
raising cycle.
e. For articulated wheel loaders, the test will be
run both with frame straight (straight static
tipping load) and fully turned to a specific angle
(full turn static tipping load).
f. Unit with standard equipment as described in
specifications unless otherwise noted under the
heading.
Operating Load
In order to comply with SAE standard J818 MAY87,
the operating load of Wheel Loaders should not
exceed 50% of the full turn Static Tipping load of
the machine when equipped with attachments
needed for the job. (For track loaders, operating load
should not exceed 35% of the Static Tipping load
rating.) See “Performance Data’’ of each machine in
this handbook for increases to static tipping load by
adding cab, counterweights, ripper-scarifier, etc.
Carry Position
SAE defines carry positions as: “The vertical dis-
tance from the ground to the center line of the bucket
hinge pin, with the angle of approach at 15°.’’ The
sketch below illustrates this definition:
Loader Clearance Circle
SAE J732 JUN92 states that “minimum turning
radius (over tire)’’ and “loader clearance circle’’
should be given for wheel loaders. Both are given
on Caterpillar specification sheets, including loader
clearance circles for all available buckets for each
machine.
Digging Depth
J732 JUN92 specifies digging depth as “the verti-
cal distance in mm (inches) from the ground line to
the bottom of the bucket cutting edge at the lowest
position with the bucket cutting edge horizontal.’’

SAE BUCKET RATING
SAE Bucket Capacities
Struck capacity is that volume contained in a
bucket after a load is leveled by drawing a straight
edge resting on the cutting edge and the back of the
bucket.
Heaped capacity is a struck capacity plus that
additional material that would heap on the struck
load at a 2:1 angle of repose with the struck line
parallel to the ground.
SAE J742 (FEB85) specifies that the addition of any
auxiliary spill guard to protect against spillage which
might injure the operator will not be included in bucket
capacity ratings. Buckets with irregular shaped cut-
ting edges (vee edge) the strike plane should be drawn
at one-third the distance of the protruding portion of
the cutting edge. Caterpillar rock buckets are built
with integral see-through rock guards. Caterpillar
light material buckets come standard with bolt-on
edges. These features which add to actual bucket
capacity are included in published ratings.
Dump Height
SAE J732 JUN92 specifies that dump height is
the vertical distance from the ground to the lowest
point of the cutting edge with the bucket hinge pin
at maximum height and the bucket at a 45° dump
angle. Dump angle is the angle in degrees that the
longest flat section of the inside bottom of the bucket
will rotate below horizontal.
SELECTING A MACHINE
Steps in selecting the proper size loader:
1. Determine production required or desired.
2. Determine loader cycle time and cycles per hour.
A machine size must be assumed to select a basic
cycle time.
3. Determine required payload per cycle in loose
cubic yards and pounds (meters and kilograms).
4. Determine bucket size needed.
5. Make machine selection using bucket size and pay-
load as criteria to meet production requirements.
6. Compare the loader cycle time used in calculations
to the cycle time of the machine selected. If there
is a difference, rework the process beginning at
step 2.
1. Production Required
The production required of a wheel or track loader
should be slightly greater than the production capa-
bility of the other critical units in the earth or mate-
rial moving system. For example, if a hopper can
handle 300 tons per hour, a loader capable of slightly
more than 300 tons should be used. Required pro-
duction should be carefully calculated so the proper
machine and bucket selections are made.
2. Loader Cycle Times
When hauling loose granular material on a hard
smooth operating surface, a .45-.55 minute basic
cycle time is considered reasonable for Caterpillar
articulated loaders with a competent operator. This
includes load, dump, four reversals of direction, full
cycle of hydraulics and minimum travel.
Material type, pile height, and other factors may
improve or reduce production, and should be added
to or subtracted from the basic cycle time when
applicable.
When hauls are involved, obtain the haul and return
portion of the cycle from the estimated travel chart (this
section). Add the haul and return times to the esti-
mated basic cycle time to obtain total cycle time.
CYCLE TIME FACTORS
A basic cycle time (Load, Dump, Maneuver) of
.45-.55 minutes is average for an articulated loader
[the basic cycle for large loaders, 3 m3(4 yd3) and
up, can be slightly longer], but variations can be
anticipated in the field. The following values for
many variable elements are based on normal oper-
ations. Adding or subtracting any of the variable
times will give the total basic cycle time.

3. Required Payload Per Cycle
Required payload per cycle is determined by divid-
ing required hourly production by the number of
cycles per hour.
4. Bucket Selection
After required payload per cycle has been calcu-
lated, the payload should be divided by the loose cubic
yard (meter) material weight to determine number
of loose cubic yards (meters) required per cycle.
The bulk of material handled does not weigh
1800 kg/m3(3000 lb/yd3), so a reasonable knowledge
of material weight is necessary for accurate pro-
duction estimates. The Tables Section has average
weight for certain materials when actual weights
are not known.
The percentage of rated capacity a bucket carries
in various materials is estimated below. The bucket
size required to handle the required volume per cycle
is found with the aid of the percentage of rated bucket
capacity called “Bucket Fill Factor.’’
The bucket size needed is determined by dividing
loose cubic meters (or yards) required per cycle by
the bucket fill factor.
Bucket size =Volume Required/Cycle
Bucket Fill Factor

tools such as bucket teeth or bolt-on replace-
able cutting edges.

Always select a machine with a greater capacity
than the calculated required operating capacity.
For most applications, payload above recommended
and excessive counterweight can hinder machine
performance and reduce dynamic stability and
machine life.
For optimum performance in fast cycling situations
such as truck loading, operating loads should not
exceed the recommended capacity. To provide extra
stability, calcium chloride (CaCl2) ballast may be
desired when operating at recommended operating
load, see SAE Loader rating pages in this section. For
specific stability data and optional tire sizes, see the
“Performance Data’’ pages in this section.
When selecting special application buckets, such as
multi-purpose and side dump the additional bucket
weight must be deducted from recommended capacity.
Specific circumstances may involve other conditions
which would also affect loader capacity. Because of
the greatly varied applications and conditions, your
Caterpillar dealer should be contacted for guidance.

4. DETERMINE BUCKET SIZE
BUCKET FILL FACTOR
The volume of material required per cycle has
been determined. Because of varying material fill
factors, buckets do not always carry their rated
load, a larger capacity bucket may be needed to
carry the volume required. For fill factors, refer
to Bucket Fill Factor Chart in this section.
Rated Bucket Capacity Required (Heaped)
2.71 m3/cycle = 2.85 m3
.95 fill factor
3.54 yd3/cycle = 3.73 yd3
.95 fill factor
A 2.9 m3(3.75 yd3) bucket would provide the
required capacity.
5. MACHINE SELECTION
The bucket size required and material density
lead to the choice of a 950G with a 2.9 m3(3.75 yd3)
General Purpose Bucket (see bucket selection
guide pages which follow.)
Finally, SAE payload criteria must be satis-
fied as follows:
The required operating capacity must not
exceed one-half of the full turn static tipping load
of the loader as equipped with a specific bucket.
The required operating capacity of the machine
is determined by the volume the machine will
carry per load times the density.
2.9 m331660 kg/m3= 4814 kg
(3.75 yd332800 lb/yd3= 10,500 lb)
One half of full turn static tipping load for the
950G with a 2.9 m3(3.75 yd3) General Purpose
Bucket is 5259 kg (11,591 lb). SAE criteria is
satisfied.
●●●
An Alternative Method
of Machine Selection
Another method of selecting the right Wheel
Loader and bucket to meet production requirements
is by use of the nomographs on the following pages.
The method is quicker and easier than the preced-
ing example because it does not require as many
calculations, yet the accuracy is about the same
within the normal limits of input data.
Be careful when entering and reading data from
the nomographs because some scales increase from
bottom to top, while others are the reverse. Do not be
overly concerned with the precision as affected by
pencil line width or reading to the hundredth of a m3
(yd3). Remember that bucket fill factor, material den-
sity and cycle time are at best close estimates.
Example problem:
A Wheel Loader must produce 230 m3(300 yd3)
per hour in a truck loading application. Estimated
cycle time is .6 minutes, working 45 minutes per
hour. Bucket fill factor is 95% and material density
is 1780 kg/m3(3000 lb/yd3).
Determine bucket size and machine model.
Solution:
At full efficiency, the Wheel Loader will cycle 100
times per hour. Since only an average of 45 minutes
are available, only 75 cycles will be completed.
Starting on Scale A at 75 cycles per hour draw a
straight line intersecting 230 m3/hr (300 yd3/hr) on
Scale B and extending it on to Scale C giving
3m
3/cycle (4 yd3/cycle) required payload. Follow
solution steps 1-10.

1. Enter required hourly production on Scale B
230 m3/hr (300 yd3/hr).
2. Enter cycles per hour on Scale A (60 ÷ .6 = 100
3.75 = 75 cycles/hr).
3. Connect A thru B to C. This shows a required

Caterpillar Waste Handling Wheel Loaders are
equipped with the features and protection required
in a demanding waste handling environment. These
Caterpillar designed and built machines feature the
following advantages:
Exceptional productivity with fast cycle times
for maximum production day-in day-out whether
dozing, loading, stacking, or load and carry.
Protected work environment enhances oper-
ator comfort, convenience and productivity.
Modified front frames – (Standard on the 966F
Series II WHA) provide large cutouts that allows
debris to fall out rather than packing and also
provide easy access if cleaning is necessary.
Standard front drive guard and axle seal
guards protect from wire, string, strapping and
other debris from wrapping around and causing
damage.
Front light guards protect the lights from debris
falling over the bucket spill plate.
Hinged crankcase and power train guards
help protect the engine and power train. The hinged
design provides easy access for cleaning. (Powered
guards available on some models.)
Standard waste application cooling system.
The improved, trash-resistant, multi-row module
(IMRM) radiator, hood and engine enclosures
work as a system to keep the radiator and engine
compartment free of debris.
Trash resistant IMRM radiator has six fins per
inch (25.4 mm) and in-line tubes that resist plug-
ging by allowing debris to pass through the core.
Hinged radiator prescreener eliminates debris
larger than what the radiator core will pass.
Suction fan on 966F II pulls cooler outside air
through the prescreener and radiator helping pre-
vent debris from entering through other openings.
Reduces trash build-up and fire risk.
Air conditioning features a roof mounted con-
denser improves air conditioning and engine cool-
ing efficiency. Standard on some models, optional
on others.
Recommended Waste Handling Options
Powered crankcase and power train guards
raise and lower at the flip of a switch allowing fast,
easy and frequent cleanings.
High lift arrangement increases bucket hinge
pin height offering increased stacking and stock-
piling capability. A critical feature when incoming
volumes exceed conveyor capacity, floor space or
when a unit goes down.
Traction control system (TCS) option for 938G
provides maximum traction in slippery conditions.
TCS electronically senses and limits wheel slip at
each wheel independently.
Limited-slip differential limits tire slip on both
front and rear axles. Increases traction and reduces
tire wear and scuffing in wet or dry conditions.
Provides an alternative to the No SPIN differen-
tial which is not recommended due to increased
tire wear, turning interference and poor tracking
on dry surfaces.
Tire options:
L-5 bias hard rock lug
L-5 slick
RL-5K Goodyear radials
XMINE Michelin radials (varies by model)
Foam-filled
Articulation guards (938G only) help protect
components in hitch area from damage.
Bolt-on power train and crankcase guards on
938G and 950G help protect from contact damage.

ity over track requirements automatically … full
implement power available for maximum break-
out force and simultaneous lift and dump capa-
bility results in fast loading and cycle time.
Oscillating track roller frames decrease ground
shock, increase machine stability.
Features common to all models:
Sound-suppressed, air-pressurized, resiliently
mounted ROPS cab for superior working envi-
ronment.
Sealed and Lubricated Track reduces wear
and maintenance expense.
Sealed loader linkage extends lubrication inter-
vals and reduces maintenance time.
Automatic bucket controls let bucket rise to
pre-set dumping height and return to pre-set dig-
ging angle for fast cycle time.
Radial rippers are Multishank with wide beam
coverage for utility ripping close to walls, footings
and embankments. Five shanks available for 933
and 939. Three shanks for 953C, 963B and 973.

Track LoadersSAE Loader Ratings
Machine Selection
SAE BUCKET RATING
SAE Bucket Capacities
Struck capacity is that volume contained in a
bucket after a load is leveled by drawing a straight
edge resting on the cutting edge and the back of the
bucket.
Heaped capacity is a struck capacity plus that
additional material that would heap on the struck
load at a 2:1 angle of repose with the struck line
parallel to the ground.
SAE J742 (Oct. 79) specifies that the addition of
any auxiliary spill guard to protect against spillage
of material which might injure the operator will not
be included in bucket capacity ratings. Buckets with
irregular shaped cutting edges (vee edge) the strike
plane should be drawn at one-third the distance of
the protruding portion of the cutting edge.
Caterpillar rock buckets are built with integral see-
through rock guards. Caterpillar light material
buckets come standard with bolt-on edges. These
features which add to actual bucket capacity are
included in published ratings.
Dump Height
SAE J732 JUN92 specifies that dump height is
the vertical distance from the ground to the lowest
point of the cutting edge with the bucket hinge pin
at maximum height and the bucket at a 45° dump
angle. Dump angle is the angle in degrees that the
longest flat section of the inside bottom of the bucket
will rotate below horizontal.
Static Tipping Load
The minimum weight at center of gravity of “SAE
Rated’’load in bucket which will rotate rear of machine
to a point where, on track loaders, front rollers are
clear of the track under the following conditions:
a. Loader on hard level surface and stationary.
b. Unit at standard operating weight.
c. Bucket at maximum rollback position.
d. Load at maximum forward position during
raising cycle.
e. Unit with standard equipment as described in
specifications unless otherwise noted under the
heading.
Operating Load
In order to comply with SAE standard J818 MAY87,
the operating load for track loaders should not exceed
35% of the Static Tipping load rating. See “Perfor-
mance Data’’ of each machine in this handbook for
increases to static tipping load by adding cab, coun-
terweights, ripper-scarifier, etc.
SELECTING A MACHINE
Steps in selecting the proper size loader:
1. Determine production required or desired.
2. Determine loader cycle time and cycles per hour.
A machine size must be assumed to select a basic
cycle time.
3. Determine required payload per cycle in loose
cubic yards and pounds (meters and kilograms).
4. Determine bucket size needed.
5. Make machine selection using bucket size and pay-
load as criteria to meet production requirements.
6. Compare the loader cycle time used in calculations
to the cycle time of the machine selected. If there
is a difference, rework the process beginning at
step 2.
1. Production Required
The production required of a track loader should
be slightly greater than the production capability of
the other critical units in the earth or material mov-
ing system. For example, if a hopper can handle 300
tons per hour, a loader capable of slightly more than
300 tons should be used. Required production
should be carefully calculated so the proper machine
and bucket selections are made.
2. Loader Cycle Times
Material type, pile height, and other factors may
improve or reduce production, and should be added
to or subtracted from the basic cycle time when
applicable.
When hauls are involved, obtain haul and return
portions of the cycle from the estimated travel chart
(this section). Add the haul and return times to the
estimated basic cycle time to obtain total cycle time.
STRUCK
HEAPED
CYCLE TIME FACTORS
A basic cycle time (Load, Dump, Maneuver) of
0.25-0.35 minutes is average for a track loader [the
basic cycle for large loaders, 2 m3(2.6 yd3) and up,
can be slightly longer], but variations can be
authenticated in the field. The following values for
many variable elements are based on normal oper-
ations. Adding or subtracting any of the variable
times will give the total basic cycle time.
Estimating Cycle Time
Cycle time of a track loader needs to be determined
to find loads per hour. Total cycle time includes the
following segments:
Load Time + Maneuver Time + Travel Time +
Dump Time
Load Time
Material Minutes
Uniform aggregates 0.03-0.05
Moist mixed aggregates 0.03-0.06
Moist loam 0.03-0.07
Soil, boulders, roots 0.04-0.20
Cemented materials 0.05-0.20
Maneuver Time includes basic travel, four
changes of direction and turning time, and will be
about 0.20 minutes with a competent operator.
Travel Time in a load and carry operation is
comprised of haul and return times which can be
determined by the travel charts in this section.
Dump Time is dictated by the size and strength
of the dump target and varies from 0.00 to 0.10 min-
utes. Typical dump times into highway trucks are
from 0.04 to 0.07 minutes.
NOTE: When comparing hydrostatic track loaders
with former power shift models (using the
production estimating method) two factors
must be considered: (1) The hydrostatic
loaders on the average outcycle power shift
models by up to 10 percent due to faster
machine speed and easier operation. (2)
Hydrostatic loaders incorporate Z-bar link-
age, which provides substantially better
bucket fill factors. The degree to which each
factor affects estimated production should
be left to the users judgment depending on
the particular job application and conditions.
Example: Moist loam is being excavated from a
bank and loaded into trucks.

LOADER PRODUCTION
Loader production equals quantity of material the
bucket carries per load 2number of bucket loads
per hour.
Estimating Bucket Load
The quantity of material in a loader bucket is esti-
mated by two methods, depending on whether the
material being loaded is in a loose or bank state.
1. When the material is loose, as in stockpile load-
ing, the bucket load is estimated in loose meters
(or cubic yards) by a Bucket Fill Factor (see Tables
Section or chart following this discussion). The
quantity of material is determined as follows:
Rated Bucket Capacity 2Bucket Fill Factor =
Bucket Payload in Loose m3(yd3)
For example, a 973 with a 2.8 m3(3.75 yd3)
General-Purpose bucket loading uniform aggre-
gate from a stockpile will carry:
2.8 m321.0 = 2.8 loose cubic meters
(3.75 yd321.0 = 3.75 loose cubic yards)
Once the potential bucket load has been deter-
mined, check the static tipping load ratings on
the specific machine to determine if bucket load
is in fact a safe operating load. (Safe operating
load as defined by SAE for track loaders should
not exceed 35% of static tipping load.)
Productivity in many applications is measured
in tons. See Tables Section for material densities
if conversion to tons is desired.
2. When material is in the bank state, as in exca-
vation, productivity is measured in bank meters
(cubic yards). Bucket load in Bm3(BCY) is esti-
mated by applying one of the load factors from
the Tables section to convert the excavated mate-
rial in the bucket from Bm3(BCY) to Lm3(LCY)
to allow for the digging and carrying character-
istics of the material. The quantity of excavated
material a bucket carries is then determined as
follows:
Rated Bucket Capacity 2Load Factor 2Bucket
Fill Factor = Bucket Payload in Bm3(BCY)
Example: a 953C with a 1.75 m3(2.25 yd3)
General Purpose bucket loading wet loam earth
from bank:
1.75 m320.80 21.15 = 1.61 Bm3
(2.25 yd320.80 21.15 = 2.07 BCY)

(2.10 BCY 295 cycles/hr = 199.1 BCY/hr)
Efficiency Considerations
Loader capacity should always be matched to
peak production requirements of the job. Actual “on-
the-job’’ loader productivity will be influenced by
factors such as operator skill, personal delays, job
layout and other delays. Experience and knowledge
of local conditions will be the best indicators of
actual job efficiency.

An Alternative Machine Selection Method
Another method of selecting the right Track Loader
and bucket to meet production requirements is by
use of the nomographs on the following pages. The
method is quicker and easier than the proceding
example because it does not require as many calcu-
lations, yet the accuracy is about the same within
the normal limits of input data.
Be careful when entering and reading data from
the nomographs because some scales increase from
bottom to top, while others are the reverse. Do not be
overly concerned with the precision as affected by
pencil line width or reading to the hundredth of a
m3(yd3). Remember that bucket fill factor, material
density, and cycle time are at best close estimates.
Example problem
A track loader must produce 180 Lm3(235 LCY)
per hour. Estimated cycle time is 0.5 minutes, working
50 minutes per hour. Bucket fill factor is 100% and
the material density is 1600 kg/Lm3(2700 lb/LCY).
Determine bucket size, machine model and hourly
production in tons and yards.
Solution:
At full efficiency, it will cycle 120 times per hour.
Since only an average 50 minutes are available, only
100 cycles will be completed per hour.
Starting on Scale A at 100 cycles per hour draw a
straight line intersecting 180 m3/hr (235 yd3/hr) on
Scale B and continuing the line on to Scale C giv-
ing 1.80 m3(2.35 yd3) required payload.

Materials Handled:
Examining the materials handled will assist in
determining necessary attachments. Sizes and
weights of material(s) handled will indicate the
appropriate Integrated Toolcarrier model by defin-
ing lift and reach requirements. Concentrate on the
material flow at the job site — the point of origin
as well as the final destination for the various
materials will undoubtedly have material handling
requirements.
What kinds of materials are handled (e.g. snow,
earth, bricks, chemicals, pipe, logs, etc.)
What form are the materials handled in: bulk?
palletized?
How much does each weigh?

Work Processes:
The first step in the job analysis is to identify all
work processes from start to finish. Key questions
outlined below will begin to indicate the required

Integrated ToolcarriersMachine/Attachment Selection
Current Equipment:
If determining material weight is not possible,
much information can be determined from looking
at the current equipment fleet. This will suggest
required performance capabilities such as lifting
capacity.
Machines currently doing the work (e.g. wheel
loaders, lift trucks, sweepers, light capacity cranes,
snow plows, etc.)?
What special (maximum) capabilities does each
machine have (production, lift height, load capac-
ity, width/height dimensions, reach, turning radius,
travel speed, etc.)?
To what extent are each machine’s maximum capa-
bilities used?
What are owning/operating costs of each?
Utilization & Sequence:
Utilization implies how often the current machines
are used and what will be the utilization factors for
the Integrated Toolcarrier with each individual
attachment. Sequence implies what order these
tasks are accomplished in and if two or more machines
operate at the same time. This portion of the job
analysis should assist in comparing econo-mies of
various systems. Other important consider-ations
may be the number of operators needed, storage
space, reduced maintenance requirements, etc.
How often (what percent) is each machine used?
How often and when does it sit idle?
How often and when do two or more machines
work at the same time?
Can the operation be changed to permit single
machine operation?
Principal Work:
Utilization and sequence will indicate the prin-
cipal work the Integrated Toolcarrier will do, further
assisting in attachment and model sizing and selec-
tion. The basic machine/tool package should be able
to handle the toughest, most frequently performed
jobs for the primary application. Secondary tools
can have a little more “give and take” in their per-
formance capabilities than the primary tool.
What work can be accomplished by an Integrated
Toolcarrier?
What work will take up the majority of Integrated
Toolcarrier time?
What work will use the maximum static tipping
capabilities of the Integrated Toolcarrier?
What high cost (owning and operating) and/or low
utilization machines can be replaced by an Inte-
grated Toolcarrier?
Additional Tips for Tool Sizing and Selection
Tool selection will principally concern hydraulic
power requirements and static tipping load consid-
erations. The standard tools offered by Caterpillar can
be used on any Integrated Toolcarrier machine with
little difficulty. However, tools such as the hydraulic
broom, claws, blades and asphalt cutter will require
additional consideration before proposing a system
to the customer.

Integrated Toolcarriers Machine/Attachment Selection
Rating Plates
The Caterpillar tools have rating plates showing
rated or recommended load limits for each machine
in standard configuration. These rated loads are
determined by structural limitations on the tool
and/or hydraulic and stability criteria established
for each machine. The IT14G thru IT28G share com-
mon attachment points and can share attachments.
The IT38G and IT62G can share the same attach-
ments. This ability to interchange tools necessitates
the need for rating plates.
Shown below are examples of the rating plates
that will be found on each Caterpillar tool. Beginning
with the IT14G, the rating plate on each tool will refer
the user to the Operation and Maintenance Manual
for the rated operating load for that tool on a specific
machine model.

The bucket rating plate can be used to illustrate
the attachment sizing and selection process. The
charts explain each machine’s maximum payload.
The maximum material density would be determined
by dividing the payload by the bucket capacity. If the
actual material density exceeds the recommended
material density, the process should be repeated to
select the properly sized bucket.
A similar procedure would be used with the forks
and material handling arm to determine maximum
recommended lifting capacity and/or required IT
model size.
Pallet Fork
The pallet fork will fulfill many material handling
needs. A modified Class 3 fork carriage provides visi-
bility to the tines for precision pallet work. This car-
riage with non-standard spacing accepts many
Class 3 lift truck attachments.
Pallet fork rated operating loads are based on the
following:
SAE J1197 FEB91: 50% of the full turn static tip-
ping load or the hydraulic/structural limitations.
CEN 474-3 (European standard): 60% of the full
static tipping load on rough terrain or the hydraulic/
structural limitations. 80% of the full turn static
tipping load on firm, level ground or the struc-
tural/hydraulic limitation. Other local, regional or
international guidelines may also apply.
If operation is on rough ground these criteria may
need modification. In this instance, the size and rat-
ing of existing equipment should be considered.
Sizing for pallet work generally consists of answer-
ing the following questions.
1. What are the average loaded pallet dimensions?
2. Lift Capacity — what capacity is required to lift
and move the average pallet load? The maximum
pallet load?
3. Lift Height — can the machine reach the top
level of the standard pallet stack? What are the
maximum reach, lift and height requirements?
4. Maneuverability — can the machine work around
the current aisle configuration? In the stacking
aisles? Main aisles? Intersecting aisles? Are 90°
turns required in any aisle for material placement?
5. Length — what tine length is required to fit the
commonly used pallets? (1219 mm [48 in] tines
are standard length for most palletized material.)
6. Any machine height restrictions?
7. Any special fork configurations required?
Lift capacity, lift height, aisle configuration and
tine length are the most important considerations in
recommending a pallet handling machine.

Buckets
All general purpose buckets are interchangeable
on IT14G-IT28G due to common attachment points
on the quick couplers. Bucket selection will depend
on the material density in your application. Offering
multiple sized buckets allows the user the flexibil-
ity to closely match material density and bucket size
with machine capability. Equipping a machine with
too large a bucket will result in unacceptable sta-
bility — too small a bucket may provide inadequate
tire coverage.

MACHINE SELECTION
Prime considerations in selecting the proper cold
planer model are:
— specifics of work to be done
— type of projects generally done by the contractor
City/Urban or Highway/Airport
— desired production capacities
Cold Planer Characteristics (Highway/Airport)
Highway/Airport work requires high-volume cold
planers. The PM-565B and other high horsepower
half-lane cold planers are being used more on Highway/
Airport projects. Users like to have one machine
that can work successfully on high production jobs
then switch to city/urban applications. The PM-565B
has proven to be a true cross-over cold planer.
Cold Planer Characteristics (City/Urban)
The PM-465 is a four track, front discharge cold
planer designed primarily for the Urban/City environ-
ment. The PM-465, with its tight turning radius and
easy set up, makes it suitable for many applications.
The PM-465 has the productive capacity to perform
effectively on highway applications as well. Machine
dimensions and weight allow transport on one truck,
often no special weight permits are required.
The PM-565B is a four-track, front discharge model.
Front discharge cold planers make traffic control
easier in congested quarters. The trucks travel for-
ward in the same direction as the cold planer. The
trucks move in and out of traffic faster increasing
production.
COLD PLANING FUNDAMENTALS
Definition
Cold planing is automatically controlled cold milling
to restore the pavement surface to a specified grade
and slope; remove bumps, ruts, and other imper-
fections; and leave a textured surface which can be
opened immediately to traffic or overlayed with new
pavement materials.
Production and Tooth Wear
Because pavement materials vary, so do produc-
tion and tooth wear. While predicting the exact pro-
duction rate and tooth wear on a particular job is
difficult, general guidelines are available.
Production depends on the milling rate (the speed
at which the cold planer moves forward). The
machine’s forward speed is determined, primarily,
by aggregate type, asphalt bond strength and depth
of cut. When milling asphalt pavement, the cold
planer’s teeth essentially are breaking the bond
between asphalt-coated aggregate, not actually frac-
turing the aggregate itself. A pavement made with
a mix containing a high percentage of fine aggre-
gate and a high asphalt content is more difficult to
mill than a pavement with a high percentage of
coarse aggregate.
A dense or fine mix usually requires more power
at the cutting drum, limiting the cold planer’s for-
ward speed. Decreased speed lowers production, and
the tough bond between the small aggregate parti-
cles causes increased cutting-tooth wear. Lower pro-
duction and higher tooth wear result in increased
unit costs.
Cutting depth affects power demand at the drum
and helps determine the cold planer’s forward
speed. However, production increases, to a point, as
the depth of cut increases. For example, changing
from a 25 mm (1 in) cut to a 51 mm (2 in) cut slows
the machine only slightly but doubles the amount of
material produced.
As the cut increases beyond the machine’s peak-
production depth, the reduced forward speed begins
to offset the production gains of the deeper cut. For
example, production at a 152 mm (6 in) cutting depth
and slow speed may be no greater than cutting at a
76 mm (3 in) depth and a much faster speed.
16-4
Cold Planers Considerations in Machine Selection
Cold Planing Fundamentals
As long as the cold planer maintains a productive
forward speed, deeper cuts will yield greater produc-
tion and tend to lower tooth cost. Tooth wear does
not increase in direct proportion to production when
the machine is working in an efficient range.
Tooth wear at various depths for a given material
is affected by how long the tooth remains in the cut.
Because the teeth are mounted on a circular drum,
each tooth cuts through the pavement in an arc. The
tooth arc at a 102 mm (4 in) cutting depth, however,
is not four times longer than at a 25 mm (1 in) cut-
ting depth, even though production may be four
times greater. The cutting arc at 102 mm (4 in) is
approximately twice as long as that at 25 mm (1 in).
The peak cutting depth for a particular cold planer
on a specific job is best determined by examining
production, and subsequent costs, of a single deep
cut versus multiple passes at a shallow depth.
APPLICATIONS
Although new applications for cold planers are
being discovered, most work can be classified in seven
general categories:
Leveling and Bonding
This application removes a layer of pavement to
eliminate potholes, ruts, bumps and other surface
imperfections. The cold planer leaves a level, tex-
tured surface ideal for bonding to a new, thin overlay
of asphalt or concrete. The surface has an interlock-
ing texture with double the bonding area of a con-
ventional smooth pavement. The textured surface
and overlay form a monolithic bond, eliminating the
shear plane that causes pavement layers to move
and separate. Thinner overlays can be used, making
the technique more economical than traditional
overlay methods.
Surface Refinishing
Rough pavement can also be cold planed to speci-
fied grade and slope, providing a new riding surface
without adding new paving materials. This appli-
cation is particularly useful when base and sub-base
are in good shape, or when several layers have been
added to the roadway over the years. Roads can be
cold planed during cold, wet months and reopened
immediately. New overlays can be added whenever
weather permits. This lengthens the practical work-
ing season for many contractors. The cold planer can
also be used to correct expansion joint faults and
pavement cracks.
Surface Repair
This category generally requires deeper cutting
than leveling. It consists of removing isolated dis-
tressed pavement sections down to subbase, if nec-
essary, prior to adding new overlay materials. Since
the cutter mandrel on Caterpillar cold planers cuts
forward and upward, there’s no damaging impact to
the underlying base.
Pavement Removal
Pavement buildup is a problem that plagues most
older streets, roads and highways. As overlays are
added, curbs and drains are buried — creating drain-
age problems. Overhead clearances are dangerously
reduced … and additional weight is added to over-
passes and bridges. Cold planing is an economical
method of curing all these problems.
Surface Texturing
Serious accidents increase when pavement becomes
slick from wear. The textured surface produced by
cold planing is highly skid-resistant and has dramat-
ically reduced hydroplaning characteristics.
Pavement Mining
Cold milling has made it practical to actually
mine’’
deteriorated pavement materials from existing roads
and streets. The cold planer produces an ideally-sized
asphalt or concrete material which can be recycled
in a variety of ways. Depending on type, age and
condition of pavement, the largest cold planer can
reclaim up to 900 tons of material per hour.

Production Estimating
PRODUCTION ESTIMATING
The maximum cutting depth is 381 mm (15") for
the RR-250B and 457 mm (18") for the RM-350B.
The SS-250B can mix up to 457 mm (18"). In addi-
tion, the cutting width of their rotors is 8 feet. The
following formulas allow you to determine the
production in square yards (yd2)/minute or cubic
yards (yd3)/ minute.

Features:
Designed with optimum horsepower-to-weight
ratio for best operating economy and peak per-
formance.
Hydrostatic transmission allows infinitely vari-
able speeds in both forward and reverse.
Drum-drive units feature a unique, Cat-designed
hydraulic flow divider valve (blade-equipped
CS-323C) or dual pump and circuit arrangement
that delivers positive tractive effort to both drum
and rear wheels, regardless of underfooting. This
increases the machine’s ability to maneuver in a
wide variety of soil types and conditions and
improves gross gradeability.
NoSPIN high traction differential is standard
on all units for best traction of rear tires. (Except
CS-533C.)
Routine maintenance simplified by grouped ser-
vice points and easy, ample access to service areas.
Operator comfort provided by full-width padded
seats or adjustable bucket seats for all day produc-
tivity. All machine controls and instrumentation
are within easy sight and reach. Unobstructed visi-
bility increases work area productivity.
ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) stan-
dard on all units. Enclosed cabs with EROPS rat-
ing available as an option to provide all-weather
comfort and productivity.
Oil bath lubrication increases bearing service
life and eliminates daily maintenance.
High centrifugal force and amplitude work
together for a highly productive compactor.

Features:
Designed with optimum horsepower-to-
weight ratio for best operating economy and peak
performance.
All units feature a unique, Cat-designed
hydraulic flow divider valve (CP-323C) or dual
pump and circuit arrangement that delivers
positive tractive effort to both drum and rear wheels,
regardless of underfooting. This increases the
machine's ability to maneuver in a wide variety of
soil types and conditions and improves gross
gradeability.
NoSPIN high traction differential is standard
on all units for best traction of rear tires. (Except
CP-533C.)
Optional Heavy-duty front-mounted blade
with reversible cutting edge is available to allow
backfilling and leveling during compaction.
Routine maintenance simplified by grouped
service points and easy access to service areas.
Operator comfort provided by full-width padded
seats or adjustable bucket seats for all day pro-
ductivity. All machine controls and instrumentation
are within easy sight and reach. Unobstructed
visibility increases work area productivity.
ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) stan-
dard on all units. Enclosed cabs with EROPS rat-
ing available as an option to provide all-weather
comfort and productivity.
Oil bath lubrication increases bearing service
life and eliminates daily maintenance.
High centrifugal force and amplitude work
together for a highly productive compactor.
Adjustable jaw-type cleaner bar keeps drums
clean between pads during forward and reverse
movement.

Figuring Asphalt Compaction
ASPHALT COMPACTION PRODUCTION RATES
Formula for Compacted Cubic Yards (yd3) Per Hour:
W 3S 3 L3 16.3 3 .83 =yd
3/hr
_______________________
P
W = Effective width of compaction per pass in feet
(See NOTE below)
S = Average speed in MPH
L = Compacted Lift in Inches
16.3 = Constant
0.83 = Efficiency Rate (50 minute hour)
P = Number of passes required to achieve
compaction
NOTE: In calculating the effective width of the
compactor, the width of the laydown lane
in relation to the roller width must be taken
into consideration.
Example: A CB-634C with a 2130 mm (84 in) drum
width takes two roller widths to cover a 3658 mm
(12 ft) lane, therefore the effective rolling width is
1829 mm (6 ft). A CB-534C with a 1702 mm (67 in)
drum width requires 3 passes to cover the 3658 mm
(12 ft) lane, so effective rolling width is 1219 mm
(4 ft). The CB-434C, with 1422 mm (56 in) drum
width, requires three passes to cover the 3658 mm
(12 ft) lane, so also has an effective rolling width of
1219 mm (4 ft) per pass.

Nomograms of Ground Pressure
These nomograms make it possible to determine
the pressure exerted on the ground under a wheel as
a function of its load and of the tire inflation pressure.
Ground pressure values are theoretical because
they result from prints obtained on an indeformable
ground.
Nomogram of hourly output
The gross hourly output of the equipment is given
by the formula: Q (m3/h) = V.H.L./N where V is the
working speed in metres/hour; H is the thickness of
the compacted layer in metres; L is the compacted
width in metres; N is the number of passes.
The facing nomogram makes it possible to deter-
mine the gross hourly output of the equipment with-
out calculation: on the basis of the chosen working
speed, draw a vertical line; where it intersects with
the “layer thickness” line selected, draw a horizon-
tal line; where this horizontal intersects with the
“number of passes” line adopted, draw a vertical which
gives directly the value of the gross hourly output in m3/h.
The net output is obtained by multiplying the gross
value by a coefficient depending on jobsite conditions:
— easy: 0.8 — normal: 0.7 — difficult: 0.6

Nomograms of Ground Pressure
These nomograms make it possible to determine
the pressure exerted on the ground under a wheel as
a function of its load and of the tire inflation pressure.
Ground pressure values are theoretical because
they result from prints obtained on an indeformable
ground.
Nomogram of hourly output
The gross hourly output of the equipment is given
by the formula: Q (m3/h) = V.H.L./N where V is the
working speed in metres/hour; H is the thickness of
the compacted layer in metres; L is the compacted
width in metres; N is the number of passes.
The facing nomogram makes it possible to deter-
mine the gross hourly output of the equipment with-
out calculation: on the basis of the chosen working
speed, draw a vertical line; where it intersects with
the “layer thickness” line selected, draw a horizon-
tal line; where this horizontal intersects with the
“number of passes” line adopted, draw a vertical which
gives directly the value of the gross hourly output in m3/h.
The net output is obtained by multiplying the gross
value by a coefficient depending on jobsite conditions:
— easy: 0.8 — normal: 0.7 — difficult: 0.6

HYDRAULIC HAMMERS
H115s-H195 Hammer Features:
Shock Mount isolates both short and long dura-
tion forces to protect the carrier.
Integrally Mounted Accumulator dampens pres-
sure peaks inside the hammer to further protect
the carrier hydraulic system, and assist the pis-
ton in the power stroke.
Pressure Control Valve allows hammer to always
strike with maximum fixed energy per blow.
Main Valve directs the firing cycle and blocks the
return port to protect the carrier hydraulics from
pressure peaks.
Check Valve protects the carrier hydraulics from
pressure spikes.
Tie Rods are heat torqued to ensure maximum
clamping force and minimal maintenance.
Long Heavy Piston minimizes recoil forces to
protect hammer components and carrier structures.
Slip Fit Thrust Ring is rotatable for longer life
and is replaceable. Dissipates shock loads in abu-
sive applications.
High Abrasion Resilient Plastic Wear Plates
on all four sides guide the power cell within the
housing.
Slip Fit Upper Tool Bushing is rotatable for
longer life and is replaceable. Guides the tool to
optimize in-line piston/tool contact.
Slip Fit Lower Tool Bushing is field replace-
able and rotatable. It has grease retention grooves
for extended lubrication and wear indication.

Hammers Features
Hammer Applications
Sewer and Water — The hammer can be used on
pockets of rock that slow down production. Also good
for breaking up old concrete pipes, manholes, etc.
Road Construction — An essential tool during
improvements and upgrading. The hammer works
well on removing existing curbs, traffic islands,
ramps, or sections of concrete. With special tools,
it can cut asphalt.
Bridge Renewal — Hammers are increasingly used
to remove old bridge surfaces, railing supports,
abutments, retaining walls, etc.
Demolition — The hammer-equipped excavator
is often a key helper in industrial demolition. It
can break up fallen wall sections and floor sections
as well as handling loading ramps, foundations,
or other brick and concrete structures near ground
level.
Mining — Hammers can break oversized mater-
ial to avoid secondary blasting, and size riprap.
Trenching/Primary Excavation — In soft or lay-
ered materials, the hydraulic hammer with a moil
or chisel point can be cost-effective.
Tunneling — This work has traditionally been
performed by tunnel boring machines or the drill-
and blast method. As hydraulic hammers have
improved in power and reliability, they have been
proven an economical alternative.
Direct Quarrying — In many types of limestone,
direct quarrying with hydraulic hammers can
prove cost effective, especially where blasting is
prohibited. See Hydraulic Hammer productivity
graphs for production estimates.
A hammer need not be full time attachment for
these applications. It can be replaced by a bucket in
very little time so the excavator can be used for dig-
ging, loading, lifting, or other tasks.
Consult your Caterpillar dealer for advice on cor-
rect sizing, installation and tool selection.
NOTES: Internal components of hammers are
finely machined to close tolerances and require
clean oil with full lubricating properties. Hammers
also tend to heat hydraulic oil considerably and this
can lead to earlier oil deterioration and the need for
more frequent oil changes than recommended for
the basic excavator. Extra care should also be taken
to avoid the entry of dust or dirt when installing or
removing a hammer in the field.

DESIGN DATA
Diesel Engines
Bearings — Precision-type steel-backed aluminum
alloy with lead-tin overlay copper bonded to bear-
ing surface. High load carrying ability and excep-
tional fatigue strength.
Block — Cast from high tensile strength grey iron.
Internal ribbing provides added strength.
Cooling — Built-in, gear driven centrifugal pump
(belt driven for 3116 and 3208) circulates jacket
water through engine at all times. Water temper-
ature is thermostatically controlled. Heat exchang-
ers and radiators are available.
Crankshaft — Forged steel, dynamically balanced,
heat treated and superfinished.
Cylinder Liners — Internal surface induction hard-
ened (1.7 L, 3300, 3400, 3500 and 3600 Families)
for excellent wear life. Full-length watercooled for
efficient heat transfer.
Fuel System Adjustment free for reduced engine
maintenance, individual fuel injection pumps have
built-in calibration — no adjustment required after
fuel nozzle replacement (1.7 L, 3500 and 3600
families have unit injectors). 3126, 3408E and
3412E use the Caterpillar Hydraulic Electronic
Fuel Injection (HEUI) system.
Governor — Hydra-mechanical (Woodward 3161 on
3500 and 3600 Families) for reliability, good
response and smooth, stable load changes.
Lubrication — Positive displacement gear pump
maintains continuous flow of lubricant under pres-
sure to all moving parts. Full-flow filtration is pro-
vided by replaceable cellulose filters. Watercooled
oil cooler maintains proper oil temperature.
Pistons — Three-ring design (two-ring on 3208)
reduces friction, provides excellent oil control, and
increases engine efficiency.
Starting — Electric and air starting systems are
offered for most models.
Valves — Hardened steel alloy. Valves rotate 3° each
time they lift to seat in a new position and allow
even heat distribution (except for 3116).
Gaseous Fueled Engines
Combustion System — The piston design and com-
pression ratios available provide the ability to utilize
a wide variety of gaseous fuels as well as provide
low emission output (below 2.0 grams/bhp-hr Nox).
Fuel System — Heavy-duty, industrial-type carbure-
tors designed to maintain optimum air-fuel ratio
at all loads and speeds.
Ignition System — Caterpillar Gaseous Fueled Engines
employ a low tension magneto, together with an
ignition transformer (one at each cylinder), to pro-
vide up to 34 kV to spark plugs. The Cat Electronic
Ignition system is also available on certain engines.
RATING EXPLANATIONS
All engine ratings listed include such standard
accessories as air cleaner and fuel, lube, and jacket
water pumps. Power required for auxiliaries such as
cooling fans, air compressors, charging alternators,
special pumps, etc., must be deducted to arrive at
the net power available to drive the load (except as
noted). Other ratings are available for specific appli-
cation and customer requirements, i.e., locomotive,
oil field, fire pump, irrigation, etc. Consult your
Caterpillar Dealer.
Rating Conditions
Performance is based on SAE J1349 standard con-
ditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg) and 25° C (77° F).
Performance also applies at ISO 3046/1 (except for
Spark Ignited Engines), DIN 6271 and BS 5514 stan-
dard conditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg), 27° C
(81° F) and 60% relative humidity.
Fuel consumption is based on fuel oil having an
LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb) and weighing
838.9 g/liter (7.001 lb/U.S. gal). All ratings are based
on distillate fuel.
Altitude and Temperature Capabilities
Industrial Diesel Engines — Most intermittent and
continuous ratings are applicable to at least 1320 m
(5,000 ft) elevation without derating. Consult fac-
tory for specific applications.
Gaseous Fueled Engines — Ratings for turbo-
charged and aftercooled engines are generally
applicable to 1500 m (5000 ft). Naturally aspi-
rated engines are applicable to 150 m (500 ft).
Diesel Truck Engines — Refer to specification sheets
for altitude capability of individual truck engine
ratings.

Rating Definitions:
NOTE: Application examples are for reference only. For an exact
determination of the appropriate rating, contact the factory
or your local Caterpillar Dealer.
Rating conditions:
All ratings are based on SAE J1349 standard ambient conditions of
29.6 in Hg (100 kPa), 30% relative humidity and 77°F (25°C).
Ratings also apply at AS1501, BS5514, DIN6271 and ISO3046/1
standard conditions.
Power is based on API gravity of 35 at 60°F (15°C), fuel having a
LHV of 18,390 Btu/lb (42 780 kJ/kg) used at 84°F (29°C) with a
density of 7.001 lb/U.S. gal (838.9 g/L).
Ratings are the total output capability of the engine equipped with
standard accessories: lube oil, fuel oil and jacket water pumps.
A Rating (Continuous):
For heavy-duty services when engine is operated at rated load
and speed up to 100% of the time without interruption or load
cycling.
Time at full load up to 100% of the duty cycle.
Typical application examples include pipeline pumping, ventilation.
B Rating:
For service where power and/or speed are cyclic.
Time at full load not to exceed 80% of the duty cycle.
Typical application examples include irrigation where normal
pump demand is 85% of engine rating, oil field mechanical
pumping/drilling, stationary/plant air compressors.
C Rating (Intermittent):
For service where power and/or speed are cyclic. Horsepower
and speed capability of the engine can be utilized for one
uninterrupted hour followed by one hour of operation at or below
the A rating.
Time at full load not to exceed 50% of the duty cycle.
Typical application examples include agricultural tractors, harvesters
and combines, truck off-highway, fire pumps, blast hole drills, rock
crushers, wood chippers with high torque rise, oil field hoisting, and
portable air compressors.
D Rating:
For service where rated power is required for periodic overloads.
The maximum horsepower and speed capability of the engine can
be utilized for a maximum of 30 uninterrupted minutes followed by
one hour at the C rating.
Time at full load not to exceed 10% of the duty cycle.
Typical application examples include offshore cranes, runway
snow blowers, water well drills, and fire pump certification power.
E Rating:
For service where rated power is required for a short time for
initial starting or sudden overload. For emergency service where
standard power is unavailable. Horsepower and speed capability
of the engine can be utilized for a maximum of 15 uninterrupted
minutes followed by one hour at the C rating or duration of
emergency.
Time at full load not to exceed 5% of the duty cycle.
Typical application examples include standby centrifugal water
pumps, oil field well servicing, crash trucks and gas turbine
starters.

General
Machine users must balance Productivity and
Costs to achieve optimum performance ... that is,
achieve the desired production at the lowest possi-
ble cost. The approach most often used to measure
machine performance is this simple equation:
Lowest Possible Hourly Costs =Top Machine
____________________________
Highest Possible Performance
Hourly Productivity
Most sections of this Handbook deal with the pro-
ductivity of Caterpillar machines. This section con-
siders the cost aspect of performance.
Hourly Owning and Operating Costs for a given
machine can vary widely because they are influ-
enced by many factors: the type of work the machine
does, local prices of fuel and lubricants, shipping
costs from the factory, interest rates, etc. No attempt
is made in this handbook to provide precise hourly
costs for each model. Users must be able to estimate
with a reasonable degree of accuracy what a machine
will cost per hour to own and operate in a given appli-
cation and locality. Therefore, this section provides
a suggested method of estimating hourly owning
and operating costs as well as data on Caterpillar-
built machines which, when coupled with local con-
ditions, will permit accurate estimates.
The method suggested follows several basic
principles:
No prices are provided for any items. For reliable
estimates, these must always be obtained locally.
Calculations are based on the complete machine.
Separate estimates are not necessary for the basic
machine, dozer, control, etc.
The multiplier factors provided will work equally
well in any currency expressed in decimals.
Because of different standards of comparison, what
may seem a severe application to one machine
owner may appear only average to another. There-
fore, to better describe machine use, operating
conditions and applications are defined in zones.
Unless otherwise specified, the word “hour” when
used in this section means clock or operating hours,
not Service Meter Units.

Owning & Operating Costs Supplemental Calculations to Estimating Form
(Line Items 1 through 7)
To protect his equipment investment and be able
to replace it, the machine owner must recover over
the machine’s useful life an amount equal to the loss
in resale value plus the other costs of owning the
equipment including interest, insurance and taxes.
The machine owner, for accounting purposes, esti-
mates resale value loss in advance, and recovers his
original equipment investment by establishing depre-
ciation schedules according to the various uses of the
equipment. Proper financial and tax assistance is
highly recommended when establishing deprecia-
tion schedules.
The machine depreciation method suggested
in this handbook is not based on or related to
any tax considerations, but rather is a simple
straight line write-off based solely on the num-
ber of years or hours the owner expects to use
the machine gainfully. Considering today’s eco-
nomic conditions worldwide and the trend toward
larger, more expensive equipment, many users
choose to keep these units on the job well after they
have been fully depreciated for tax purposes. On the
other hand, tax incentives in many areas may favor
trading a machine well before it approaches the limits
of its useful life.
Accordingly, it is imperative that careful con-
sideration be given the selection of depreciation
periods, and that for owning and operating cost
calculations they be based on useful life rather
than tax write-off life. The table of machine oper-
ating conditions (next page) only suggests such use-
ful life periods in clock or operating hours. Recognize,
however, that factors other than operating conditions
can influence machine depreciation periods — an
owner’s wish to accelerate recovery of his investment,
purchase of a machine for a job of specific duration,
local customs, local economic conditions, availabil-
ity of foreign exchange to buy a replacement, and
many others.
Maintenance practices are not considered in this
table but play an important part in determining eco-
nomic machine life. For example, operating condi-
tions may suggest a 12,000 hour depreciation period
for a machine, but poor maintenance could make it
uneconomical to retain the unit beyond 10,000 hours.
Good, regular maintenance often can extend econom-
ical machine life.
Therefore, a knowledge of the intended use, oper-
ating conditions and maintenance practices, plus any
special factors, is essential in establishing expected
machine life for depreciation purposes.

AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR DEPRECIATION
AND REPAIR COSTS
Unlike construction tractors which often are depre-
ciated over 10,000 hours, the expected useful life of
a Caterpillar steel tracked tractor in agriculture can
range up to and beyond 20,000 hours (about eighteen
years). The Challenger Tractor Line expected life is
about 10,000 hours.
The tractors decline in value is always a signifi-
cant portion of the machinery cost in farming. The
actual market value of any tractor is determined by
many variables ... machine age and condition, rate
of change in size and farm operations in the area,
popularity of given makes of tractors in the commu-
nity, etc.
Whatever the variables, the decline in value is
greater the first year than the second, greater the
second year than the third, etc. The shorter the
machine’s work life, the higher the percentage of its
value lost in a year.
Although the percentage of loss each year depends
on the life of the machine, it’s a general rule that
40 to 50% of the value will be lost in the first quar-
ter of the machine’s life. By the halfway point of life-
time, from 70 to 75% of value will be lost.
The sum of digits is a common, easily used method
for predicting the farm tractor’s depreciation value.
Assume a machine’s total life is 18 years. Assign
each of those years a value, beginning with 18 for
the first year, 17 for the second, 16 for the third, etc.
The sum of all 18 digits is 171 which when divided
into the initial new machine value, will give a spe-
cific monetary figure. The first year, 18 units of value
are written off, 17 the second year, etc.
The resale value loss for the first four-year’s of
machine life progresses as follows:
End Largest Loss of Loss of
of Remaining Value Value Remaining
Year Digit In Year To Date Value
1 18 18/171 or 10.5% 10.5% 89.5%
2 17 17/171 or 9.9% (10.5 + 9.9) 20.4% 79.6%
3 16 16/171 or 9.3% (20.4 + 9.3) 29.7% 70.3%
4 15 15/171 or 8.7% (29.7 + 8.7) 38.4% 61.6%
Repairs — The reverse of the sum of digits for-
mula can be used to predict repair costs for agricul-
tural tractors.
Again, assuming an 18-year life, the sum of the
digits would be 171. But the digit assigned the first
year would be 1, the second year 2, etc.
(NOTE: The digital method applied to depreciation
yields an eventual 100% of the purchase price. The
American Society of Agricultural Engineers recom-
mends repair costs for crawler tractors be figured at
78% and wheel tractors at 120% of purchase price.)
(Line Item 1a, b and c)
Delivered price should include all costs of putting
a machine on the user’s job including transporta-
tion and any applicable sales taxes.
On rubber tired machines, tires are considered a
wear item and covered as an operating expense.
Accordingly, some users may wish to deduct tire
costs from the delivered price particularly for larger
machines.
(Line Item 2 and Subsection 2A)
Any piece of earthmoving machinery will have
some residual value at trade-in. While many owners
prefer to depreciate their equipment to zero value,
others recognize the residual resale or trade-in value.
This is at the estimator’s option, but as in the dis-
cussion of depreciation, today’s higher equipment
costs almost dictate that resale value be considered
in determining the net depreciable investment. And
if machines are traded early for tax incentive pur-
poses, resale value becomes even more significant.
For many owners, potential resale or trade-in value
is a key factor in their purchasing decisions, since
this is a means of reducing the investment they must
recover through depreciation charges. The high
resale value of Caterpillar built machines can reduce
hourly depreciation charges, lower total hourly own-
ing costs and improve the owners competitive position.

When resale or trade-in value is used in estimat-
ing hourly owning and operating costs, local cond-
tions must be considered, as used equipment values
vary widely around the world. However, in any given
used equipment business, factors which have great-
est influence on resale or trade-in value are the num-
ber of hours on the machine at the time of sale or
trade, the type of jobs and operating conditions in
which it worked, and the physical condition of the
machine. Your local Cat Dealer is your best source for
determining current used equipment values.
Subsection 2A can be used to calculate the esti-
mated residual value. If recent auction prices for
used machines are used as a guide, then the value
(or percentage) should be adjusted downward to
remove the effect of inflation. Governmental indices
on construction equipment costs or Dealer price
records can be used to calculate the amount of infla-
tion for the appropriate useful life. Another way to
estimate residual value is comparing the current
used machine value to the current new machine
price provided major product changes haven’t
occurred.
(Line Item 3a and b)
The delivered price less the estimated residual
value results in the value to be recovered through
work, divided by the total usage hours, gives the
hourly cost to protect the asset’s value.
(Line Item 4)
Many owners charge interest as part of hourly
owning and operating costs, others consider it as
general overhead in their overall operation. When
charged to specific machines, interest is usually
based on the owners average annual investment in
the unit.
Interest is considered to be the cost of using cap-
ital. The interest on capital used to purchase a
machine must be considered, whether the machine
is purchased outright or financed.
If the machine will be used for N years (where N
is the number of years of use), calculate the aver-
age annual investment during the use period and
apply the interest rate and expected annual usage:
[N + 1 ]Simple Interest
______ 3Delivered Price 3% rate
2N
_______________________________________________
hours/year
(Line Items 5 and 6)
Insurance cost and property taxes can be calcu-
lated in one of two ways. If the specific annual cost
is known this figure should be multiplied by the
estimated usage (hours/years) and used. However,
when the specific interest and tax costs for each
machine are not known, the following formulas can
be applied:

(Line Item 8)
Fuel consumption can be closely measured in the
field. However, if no opportunity exists to do this,
consumption can be predicted when the machine
application is known.
Application determines engine load factor which
in turn controls engine fuel consumption. An engine
continuously producing full rated horsepower is oper-
ating at a load factor of 1.0. Earthmoving machines
may reach a 1.0 load factor intermittently, but sel-
dom operate at this level for extended periods of
time. Periods spent at idle, dozer and pusher travel
in reverse, haul units traveling empty, close maneu-
vering at part throttle and operating downhill are
examples of conditions which reduce load factor.
The following tables provide hourly fuel consump-
tion estimates at various load factors for Caterpillar
built machines. Since machine uses vary, applica-
tion guides are also provided to aid in estimating
load factor.
To estimate hourly fuel cost, select the load factor
based on application and find hourly consumption.
Then:
Hourly consumption 3Local Unit Price of Fuel =
Hourly Fuel Cost
When using these tables, keep in mind the many
variables which can affect fuel consumption. Two
operators of different temperament or attitude oper-
ating identical machines side by side in the same
material can have as much as 10-12% difference in
their consumption rates. However, the ranges shown
should be applicable across a wide spectrum of con-
ditions. Your Caterpillar dealer representative can
help select the most reasonable estimate for your
specific situation; we suggest you call on him.
Keep in mind also that a fuel consumption study
measured over a short period of operation will give
higher fuel consumption than shown here because:
(1) the study will be at 100% efficiency, without
breaks or idle time, and (2) the operators will know
they’re “under the gun” to produce and look good.
On the other hand, these tables allow for “normal”
inefficiencies in the working cycle and will more
closely relate to “normal” day to day operation.

GUIDE FOR ESTIMATING LOCAL HOURLY
COST OF FILTERS
The approximate hourly filter costs at right were
determined by using the following formula:
Change #Filters/ Total
Filters Interval* #Filters Cost** 2000 hr. Cost
Engine 250 hr. _____ $_____ _____ $_____
Transmission 500 hr. _____ $_____ _____ $_____
Hydraulic 500 hr. _____ $_____ _____ $_____
Fuel — primary 2000 hr. _____ $_____ _____ $_____
Fuel — final 500 hr. _____ $_____ _____ $_____
Air — primary 2000 hr. _____ $_____ _____ $_____
Air — secondary 1000 hr. _____ $_____ _____ $_____
Total
Filter
Cost/2000 hr. = $_____
Total Cost $_____ ÷ 2000 hr. = $_____ Hourly Filter Cost.
**Recommended change interval may vary with machine and sulfur content of
diesel fuel. Always consult Lube & Maintenance Guide.
**Cost of filter is suggested consumer list price. For the small excavators and the
613C, we assumed an average of $6.50 per filter.
NOTE: The approximate hourly filter costs do not
include labor. To determine your labor cost
you can apply your hourly labor rate to
5 minutes per each filter change. For exam-
ple, if your labor rate is $50.00 per hour
then your labor cost for one filter change
would be $4.17.

(Line Item10a)
Tire costs are an important part of the hourly cost
of any wheel machine. The best estimate of this item
is obtained when tire life figures based on experience
are used with prices the machine owner actually
pays for the replacement tires.
For cases in which tire experience is not available,
use the following tire life estimator curves.
Tire Life Estimators
Curves do not allow for additional life from recap-
ping. They assume new tires run to destruction,
but this is not necessarily recommended.
Based on standard machine tires. Optional tires
will shift these curves either up or down.
Sudden failure (blow out) due to exceeding Ton-MPH
(tkm/h) limitations is not considered. Nor are pre-
mature failures, due to puncture by stumps or
sharpened tree limbs (Skidders) or rocks (Trucks,
Loaders, etc.).
Application Zones:
Zone A: almost all tires actually wear through the
tread from abrasion.
Zone B: tires wear out normally but others fail
prematurely due to rock cuts, impacts and non-
repairable punctures.
Zone C: few, if any, tires wear through the tread
due to non-repairable damages, usually from rock
cuts, impacts and continuous overloading.
NOTE: Tire life can often be increased by using
extra tread and extra deep tread tires.
NOTE: Premature failure could occur at any time
due to puncture by stumps or sharpened
tree limbs.

GOODYEAR LIFE ESTIMATING SYSTEM
As an additional assist in estimating hauling unit
tire life, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. has furnished
the following information which is included here
with their permission. READ THE PREAMBLE
CAREFULLY.
“… at present, there is no completely accurate,
fool-proof method of forecasting tire life. Tire engi-
neers have many theoretical methods … but these
generally are so involved and time consuming
that they are impractical for field use.
“However, the tire industry has made many sur-
veys of tire performance and arrived at a system
which can give rough estimates of tire life. Studies
done by the major tire companies and by at least
two major equipment manufacturers are in close
agreement.
“The table [which follows] shows how to apply this
system …”

dition which will contribute to early tire failure to
a larger extent than will the individual factors of
each condition.

As can be seen, this system requires the careful
application of strictly subjective judgments, and can
be expected to result in conservative estimates. Keep
in mind, however, that the system is offered only
as an aid in estimating and not as a rigid set of
rules.
On the other hand, if tire life on a given job is con-
sidered less than satisfactory, an analysis of these
factors may point to conditions which can be
improved to the betterment of tire life.
Replacement tire prices should always be obtained
from local tire company sources.
Since tires are considered a wear item in this
method of estimating owning and operating costs,
total tire replacement cost is deducted from machine
delivered price to arrive at a net figure for depreci-
ation purposes. Outlay for tires is then included as
an item in operating costs:
Replacement Cost of Tires
Hourly Tire Cost = _____________________________
Estimating Tire Life in Hours
Recapping can sometimes lower hourly tire cost.
Considerations are availability of molds, local recap-
ping costs, and experience with recap life.
(Line Item10b)
Undercarriage expense can be a major portion of
the operating costs for track-type machines, and
these costs can vary independently of basic machine
costs. That is, the undercarriage can be employed in
an extremely abrasive, high-wear environment while
the basic machine may be in an essentially easy
application, and vice-versa. For that reason, it is
recommended that the hourly cost of undercarriage
be calculated separately as a wear item rather than
being included in the repair reserve for the basic
machine. Notice that the repair reserves (Line
Item11) DO NOT include provision for undercar-
riage replacement.
Three primary conditions affect probable life-
expectancy of track-type undercarriage:
1. Impact. The most measurable effect of impact
is structural — that is bending, chipping, cracking,
spalling, roll-over, etc., and problems with hard-
ware and pin and bushing retention.
Impact ratings:
High — Non-penetrable hard surfaces with
150 mm (6") or higher bumps.
Moderate — Partially penetrable surfaces and
bumps of 75-150 mm (3-6") height.
Low — Completely penetrable surfaces
(which provide full shoe plate sup-
port) with few bumps.
2. Abrasiveness. The tendency of the underfoot
materials to grind away the wear surfaces of
track components.
Abrasiveness ratings:
High — Saturated wet soils containing a
high proportion of hard, angular or
sharp sand or rock particles.
Moderate — Slightly or intermittently damp
soils containing a low proportion of
hard, angular or sharp particles.
Low Dry soils or rock containing a low
proportion of hard, angular or
sharp sand or rock chip particles.
Impact and abrasiveness in combination can
accelerate wear rates beyond their individual
effects when considered alone, thus further
reducing component life. This should be taken
into account in determining impact and abra-
siveness ratings or, if preferred, the combination
can be included in selecting the “Z” factor.
3. “Z” factor. Represents the combined effect on com-
ponent life of the many intangible environmen-
tal, operational and maintenance considerations
on a given job.
Environment and Terrain. Earth which may not
be abrasive itself can pack in sprocket teeth, caus-
ing interference and high stress as the teeth
engage the bushings. Corrosive chemicals in the
materials being moved or in the natural soil can
affect wear rates, while moisture and temperature
can exaggerate the effect. Temperature alone can
play its own role — hot slag and hard-frozen soils
being but the extremes. Constant sidehill work
can increase wear on the sides of components.
UNDERCARRIAGE

Owning & Operating Costs Undercarriage

Operation. Some operator practices tend to
increase track wear and cost if not controlled on
the job. Such practices include high-speed opera-
tion, particularly in reverse; tight turns or con-
stant corrections in direction; and stalling the
tractor under load forcing the tracks to slip.
Maintenance. Good maintenance — proper track
tension, daily cleaning when working in sticky
materials, etc. — combined with periodic wear
measurement and timely attention to recom-
mended services (CTS) can extend component life
and lower costs by minimizing the effects of these
and other adverse conditions.
While impact and abrasion should not be too dif-
ficult to judge, selection of the proper “Z” factor will
require careful analysis of job conditions such as
weather, tendency for soil packing, side-hill loading,
corrosive environment, etc.; operational factors such
as high-speed reverse, tight turns, track slippage
under overload, etc.; and maintenance considerations
such as proper tensioning, use of Custom Track
Service, etc.
Selection of the “Z” multiplier is strictly a matter
of judgement and common sense, but its effect on
cost can be the difference between profit on a con-
trolled job and heavy loss where control is allowed
to slip. To assist in arriving at an appropriate value
for the “Z” factor, consider that proper maintenance
— or the lack thereof — will represent about 50% of
its effect, environment and terrain 30%, and operator
practices 20%. Thus, even a good operator working
under good field conditions can be counterbalanced
by poor maintenance practices to yield a fairly high
“Z” factor. On the other hand, close attention to
maintenance, tension and alignment can more than
offset a bad underfoot condition resulting in severe
sprocket packing, and lead to selection of a moder-
ate to low “Z” factor. Obviously, flexibility in selec-
tion of a “Z” factor has been built into the system,
and use of this flexibility is encouraged. Further, a
considerable measure of control can be maintained
over the “Z” factor, and any reduction of its effects
is money in the bank. Your Caterpillar Dealer CTS
man can be invaluable in this endeavor as well as
helping you establish a comprehensive undercar-
riage cost control program.
Estimating Undercarriage Cost
The guide below gives a basic factor for the vari-
ous track-type machines and a series of conditions
multipliers to modify the basic cost according to the
anticipated impact, abrasive and miscellaneous (“Z”)
conditions under which the unit will be operating.
Step 1. Select machine and its corresponding basic
factor.
Step 2. Determine range for impact, abrasiveness
and “Z” conditions.
Step 3. Add selected conditions multipliers and apply
sum to basic factor.
The result will be the estimated hourly cost for
undercarriage in that application.

NOTE:1. Conditions Multipliers may be selected in
any combination. Thus, a multiplier of 0.4
(all low-range multipliers) represents the
best of the best, while 1.7 (all high range
multipliers) would be the worst of the worst
conditions.
2. The hourly undercarriage cost estimate
resulting from this method will be made
up of approximately 70% parts cost and
30% labor charges. The cost of undercar-
riage components is based on published
U.S. Consumers List Prices and may be
adjusted as needed for import duties,
exchange rates, etc. outside the United
States. Labor has been figured at $40.00
(U.S.) per shop hour.
3. For further information and guidance,
refer to the current issue of the Caterpillar
Custom Track Service Handbook.
4. This formula for estimating undercar-
riage cost should not be used for tractors
working in stockpile coal handling appli-
cations. Undercarriage costs are nominal
in stockpile coal handling, and using this
formula will result in estimating cost sub-
stantially above actual costs.
(Line Item11)
Repairs are normally the largest single item in
operating costs and include all parts and direct labor
(except operators wages) chargeable to the machine.
Shop overhead can be absorbed in general overhead
or charged to machines as a percent of direct labor
cost, whichever is the owner’s normal practice.
Hourly repair costs for a single machine normally
follow an upward stairstep pattern since major out-
lays for repairs usually come in spurts. However,
when broad averages are considered, the stairstep
becomes a smooth, upward curve. Since this hourly
repair cost curve starts low and gradually rises over
time, hourly operating costs must be adjusted upward
as the unit ages. Alternatively an average repair
cost can be used which provides a straight line graph.
Most owners prefer the average method, and it is
the one suggested here.
Since repair costs are low initially and rise gradu-
ally, averaging them produces extra funds at first
which are reserved to cover future higher costs.
Machine applications, operating conditions and
maintenance attention determine repair costs. In
any specific application, actual cost experience on
similar work provides the best basis for establishing
the hourly repair reserve. When local records are
inadequate or not available, the hourly repair reserve
charts following this discussion may be used. Turn
for a moment to these charts and examine their gen-
eral format.
These average costs are taken from a variety of
applications and every attempt was made to assure
accuracy. Recognize that any one application may
vary considerably from these averages. They are
only marginally useful in predicting costs since
few jobs are ‘average’.The use of these averages
would be especially questioned when special
attachments such as rippers are used, and when a
machine is moving from job to job. For these rea-
sons, we suggest the use of these averages for
comparative purposes and gross estimates only.
Your Caterpillar dealer has the ability to make more
accurate repair cost estimates and we suggest you
use his experience and expertise if you need help
in estimating operating costs.
Applying these basic factors and multipliers will
result in the average hourly cost over the entire
period. This should produce an excess in the early
hours (or a “sinking fund”) to cover normal increases
in actual repair costs as the machine ages.
The cost applies to the machine as described in each
individual chart, but does not cover the following:

Bucket (although hydraulics are included)
Ground engaging tools

The basic repair factors are based on the first
10,000 hours of service, parts at published U.S. Con-
sumers List Prices, and labor at a total selling price
of $40.00 (U.S.) per hour. Extended use multipliers
are given for those cases where a machine is to be
used beyond 10,000 hours; the adjusted cost-per hour
will apply to the entire use period, not just the addi-
tional hours. For applications outside the United
States where import duties and other expenses have
a large effect on parts prices, and for other areas
where labor charges (remember to include shop and
tool overhead in addition to mechanic’s wages!) differ
greatly from the $40.00 base, an approximate break-
down of the total factor by percentages for parts and
labor also are given. This breakdown should permit
easy adjustment to local conditions.
As stated, repair costs are affected by applica-
tion, operation, maintenance, and age of the equip-
ment.The most significant effects on cost will be
those factors affecting major component life. A
second significant factor is whether the repair is
performed before or after catastrophic failure.
Repair before a major component fails can be one-
third of an after failure repair with only a moder-
ate sacrifice in life (see graphs). Repairing a major
component just prior to failure achieves optimum
cost per hour. Oil analysis and other diagnostic
tools, maintenance inspections and indicators, and
operator notes are vital to determine the optimum
repair point and thereby achieving lower hourly
repair costs. Maintenance practices are significant
because they affect component longevity and the
percentage of scheduled, before failure repairs.
Another important factor in using repair reserve
estimates is the Service Meter Unit (SMU) or hour
basis.The cost estimate should be flexed depend-
ing on the machine’s duty cycle. Fuel consump-
tion is often a good indicator of duty cycle, and
this factor may override the application zone. All of
these factors are significant in estimating repair
costs.Weigh them carefully prior to using the repair
reserve tables.

Example:
1 A 988F Wheel Loader loading well-shot rock on
a hard, level quarry floor will be used for seven
years or about 15,000 hours.
Basic Repair Factor = 9.50
Extended-life Multiplier = 1.10
Estimated Repair Cost = 9.50 31.10 =
$10.45/Hour
2 A D6H is used about 1600 hours per year on
general utility and clean-up work for a contrac-
tor who does not baby his equipment, but does
insist on careful operation, and has an excellent
preventive maintenance program. He intends to
trade at the end of five years. He can be consid-
ered to be at the lower end of the
normal” or
B zone, if not slightly less.
Basic Repair Factor = 4.50

and welding costs on booms and sticks should be
included here. These costs will vary widely depending
on applications, materials and operating techniques.
Consult your Caterpillar Dealer Parts Department

EXAMPLES OF FIGURING OWNING AND
OPERATING COSTS
Example I: ESTIMATING HOURLY OWNING
AND OPERATING COSTS OF A
TRACK-TYPE TRACTOR
Assume a power shift track-type tractor with
straight bulldozer, hydraulic control, tilt cylinder
and three-shank ripper, is purchased by a contrac-
tor for $135,000, delivered price at job site.
Application will be production dozing of bank
gravel. Minimal ripping will be required to loosen
material.
In the following calculations, refer as necessary
to the source material already reviewed.
OWNING COSTS —
To Determine Residual Value at Replacement
Enter delivered price, $135,000, in space (A). (See
example form at end of this discussion.) Since the
machine being considered is a track-type tractor, no
tires are involved. This particular owner’s experience
is that at trade-in time, the tractor will be worth
approximately 35% of its original value. This $47,250
trade-in value is entered in space (B) leaving a net
of $87,750 to be recovered through work.
Enter the value to be recovered through work in
space (C).
Indicated ownership period is 7 years with annual
usage of 1200 hours per year or 8400 hours of total
ownership usage.
Divide the Net Value from space (C), $87,750, by
Ownership Usage, 8400 hours, and enter result
$10.45 in space (D).
Interest, Insurance,Taxes
In this example, local rates are assumed as follows:
Interest 16%
Insurance 1%
Taxes 1%
_____
18%
Using the following formula:
N = 7:
[7 + 1 ]
______ 3$135,000 30.16
2 37
_____________________________ = $10.29
1,200
Enter $10.29 in space (E).
Insurance and property taxes can also be calcu-
lated using the same formula as shown for the inter-
est cost, and entering them on lines 5 and 6.
Items 3b, 4, 5 and 6 can now be added and the
result, $22.02 entered in space (H) Total Hourly
Owning Costs.
OPERATING COSTS —
Fuel
See fuel consumption tables. The intended appli-
cation, production dozing, indicates a medium load
factor. Assume that the estimated fuel consumption
from the table is 18.1 liter/hr (4.8 U.S. gal/hr.). Cost
of fuel in this locality is $0.34/liter ($1.25/U.S. gal.).
Consumption Unit Cost Total
18 liter/hr 3$0.34 liter = $6.12
5 gal/hr 3$1.25 gal. = $6.25

Track-Type Tractor
Lube Oils, Filters, Grease
For these items, you can use the lubricants con-
sumption tables and the filter cost calculator for a
detailed estimate, or you can obtain an estimate of
the total of these items from the Quick Estimator
table. We will assume local prices in this example
are about the same as those used for the Quick Esti-
mate Table and use this method. Assume the table
shows an approximate hourly cost for lube oils, filters
and grease (materials and labor) for this tractor of
$0.46. Enter this figure in space (J).
Tires
Since this example considers a track-type tractor,
space (K) is left blank.
Undercarriage
Our estimating reference gives an undercarriage
cost Basic Factor of 6.2 for this tractor. It is antici-
pated that with some ripping on the job, impact
loadings of the track components will be medium,
indicating an “I” multiplier of 0.2. The gravel-sand
mix in the bank, being dry, should be only moder-
ately abrasive for an “A” multiplier of 0.2. In analyz-
ing the miscellaneous conditions: there is enough
clay in the bank to produce some packing of the
sprockets; the operator is careful, but is forced into
some tight turns because of space limitations; there
is good drainage in the pit; track tension is checked
weekly; and all track-type equipment on the job is
enrolled in the Custom Track Service program.
Accordingly, the “Z” multiplier is judged to be some-
what greater than low level — 0.3 in this case.
It should be noted that in applying particularly
the “Z” factor, rather wide latitude for flexibility is
provided and was used in the above example. Such
flexibility is intended and its use encouraged.
Then:
Cost per hour = Basic Factor 3(I + A + Z)
Basic Factor = 6.2
Conditions Multipliers: I = 0.2
A = 0.2
Z = 0.3
Cost per hour 6.2 (0.2 + 0.2 + 0.3) = $4.34 which
is entered in space (L).
Repairs
In determining the depreciation period, we estab-
lished the intended use of the machine as a Zone B
application. The Repair Reserve graph for track-type
tractors indicates that the mid-range for our tractor
is approximately 4.50 on the basis of 10,000 hours
of use. The tractor is to be used over 8400 hours, so
the Extended-life Multiplier in this case is 1.0.
Therefore, Repair Reserve = 1.0 34.50 = $4.50
per hour, which is entered in space (M).
Special Items
Assuming the tractor is equipped with a three-
shank ripper and an “S” dozer, allowance must be
made for ripper tips, shank protectors, and dozer cut-
ting edges.
Assume your knowledge of the operation indicates
the ripper will be used only about 20% of total trac-
tor operating time. Estimated tip life while in use is
30 hours. Therefore, tips will be replaced:
30 Hours
_________ = each 150 hours of tractor operation
0.20
Shank protector life is estimated at three times
tip life or 450 hours of tractor operation. In this
medium duty application, no shank replacement is
expected in the 8400 hour depreciation period of the
tractor.
Cutting edge life is estimated to be 500 hours.
Using local prices for these items, hourly costs are
estimated as follows:
3 @ $35.00 ea.
Tips: ______________ = $0.70 per hour
150 hr.
3 @ $55.00 ea.
Shank Protectors: ______________ = $0.37 per hour
450 hr.
$125 per set
Cutting Edges: ______________ = $0.25 per hour
500 hr.
The total of these, $1.32; is entered in space (N).
Items 8, 9, 10b, 11 and 12 can now be added and
the result, $15.63, is entered in space (O), Total
Hourly Operating Costs.
Operator’s Hourly Wage
Assume this is $20.00 including fringe benefits.
This figure is entered in space (P).
Total Owning Costs, Total Operating Costs and
Operator’s Hourly Wage are now added together
and the result, $57.65, is entered in space (Q). The
itemized estimate of Hourly Owning and Operating
Costs is now complete.

Owning & Operating Costs Owning & Operating Example II
Wheel Loader
Example II: ESTIMATING HOURLY OWNING AND
OPERATING COSTS OF A WHEELED
VEHICLE
With only a few simple changes, owning and oper-
ating costs for a wheeled vehicle are calculated using
the same format as that used for the Track-Type
Tractor. Only the differences will be explained as we
look at example calculations for a wheel loader.
OWNING COSTS —
To Determine Residual Value at Replacement
Enter delivered price in space (A). The cost of tires
is deducted since they will be treated as a wear item.
For purposes of illustration, the Wheel Loader is esti-
mated to have a potential 48% trade-in value (B) at
the end of the 5 year/7500 hour ownership usage,
leaving a net value to be recovered through work of
$34,320 (C).
Interest, Insurance,Taxes
Refer to the formulas using the same rates as
before and 1500 operating hours per year. The fac-
tor 4.22 is applied to the interest cost (E).
Insurance and property taxes can also be calcu-
lated using the same formula as shown for the inter-
est cost.
The sum of lines 3b, 4, 5 and 6 gives the total
hourly owning cost, line 7.
OPERATING COSTS —
Fuel
See the fuel consumption tables and apply the
actual cost of purchasing fuel in the project area (I).
Lube Oils, Filters, Etc.
Use either the item-by-item worksheet or the
summary tables. Enter the total item in space (J)
on line 9.
Tires
Use the tire replacement cost and the best esti-
mate of tire life based on experience and anticipated
job conditions.
Repairs
Find the applicable basic repair factor for Zone B
application from the bar charts (4.00). Again, the
use period for the Wheel Loader is 7500 hours, so
the Extended-life Multiplier is 1.0.
Therefore, Repair Reserve = 1.0 34.00 = $4.00
per hour.
Special Items
Ground engaging tools, welding, etc. are covered
here. Use current costs for cutting edges and similar
items. Use your best estimate of the hours of life
which can be expected from them based on previ-
ous experience in like materials. Enter the total on
line 12.
The total of lines 8 through 13 represents hourly
operating costs.
Operator’s Wages
To give a true picture of operator cost, include fringe
benefits as well as direct hourly wages (line 15).
TOTAL O&O
The total of lines 7, 13 and 15 is the total hourly
owning and operating cost of the machine. Keep in
mind that this is an estimate and can change radi-
cally from project to project. For the greatest accu-
racy, the hourly cost reflected in actual on-the-job
cost records should be used.

Owning & Operating Costs Quick Estimators
U.S. Dollars Per Hour
QUICK ESTIMATOR HOURLY OWNING
AND OPERATING COSTS
NOTE: Hourly Owning and Operating Costs for a
given model of machinery vary widely
because they are influenced by many factors:
the type of work the machine does, local
prices for fuel and lubricants, shipping costs
from the factory, interest rates, operator’s
wages, tire or track life, rock versus earth,
hours per year, etc. Use the following figures
as QUICK GUIDELINES ONLY. When pre-
cise owning & operating cost estimates are
required, calculate them using the format
on the preceding pages and your particular
conditions.
Quick estimator figures shown are based on the
following assumptions:
List prices f.o.b. factory.
Machines equipped as indicated (certain attach-
ments included may not be normal in some areas).
Ownership period: Guide for selecting ownership
period based on application and operating conditions.
The basic repair factors are based on the first
10,000 hours of service.
Parts at published U.S. Consumers List Prices.
Labor for repairs at a total selling price of $50.00
(U.S.) per hour.
MODERATE: Zone A, or moderate job conditions.
Typical U.S.A. Auction Results for
the machine used in computing
resale and depreciation.
AVERAGE: Zone B, or average job conditions.
Typical U.S.A. Auction Results for
the machine used in computing
resale and depreciation.
SEVERE: Zone C, or severe job conditions.
Typical U.S.A. Auction Results for
the machine used in computing
resale and depreciation and is
adjusted for machine condition.
Lubricants and hydraulic oil at $6.35 per U.S. Gal.
plus labor.
Grease at $0.71 per fitting (includes labor).
Filters at U.S. Consumer’s List Prices plus labor.
Fuel at $1.25 per U.S. Gal.
Figures include average tire costs at 50% list
price.
ALL FIGURES EXCLUDE INTEREST, INSUR-
ANCE, TAXES AND OPERATOR (due to wide
variance around the world).
Track-Type Tractors Example equipment: straight
bulldozer with tilt cylinder, hydraulic control, ROPS
canopy, crankcase and track roller guards, front pull
hook, light system, and vandalism protection.

continue to be the most important factors in earth-
moving economics. Wheel tractors, loaders, scrap-
ers, trucks, motor graders, etc. are earthmoving
equipment whose productivity and payload unit cost
may depend more on tire performance than any
other factor.
Off-the-road tires must operate under a wide vari-
ety of conditions ranging from dry “potato dirt”
through wet severe shot rock. Speed conditions vary
from less than 1 mph average to 72 kmh (45 mph).
Gradients may vary from 75% favorable to 30%
adverse. Climatic conditions, operator skills, main-
tenance practices, etc. all may have a profound
effect on tire life and unit costs.
Although one specific tire construction has proven
to be more acceptable in more applications, no one
tire can meet all requirements on any one machine
and perhaps not even one job. The many differences
in tire requirements on earthmoving machines have
resulted in a wide variety of tread and carcass
designs being made available. The optimum tire
selection for a specific machine on a given job should
be a joint decision between the user and tire sup-
plier. Several tire manufacturers have technical and
application representatives in the field for proper
guidance in tire selection.
When job conditions change, it may be desirable
to select a different tire configuration to meet the
new requirements.

TIRE CONSTRUCTION
The pneumatic tire is essentially a flexible pres-
sure vessel utilizing structural members (nylon,
steel cable, etc.) to contain the hoop tension result-
ing from the inflation pressure. Rubber is utilized as
a protective coating and sealant over the structural
members and makes up the tread pattern which
provides the wearing medium at the ground inter-
face. The following brief explanation of the various
tire constructions will assist you in selecting tires
for your specific application.
Two distinct tire constructions approved on
all Caterpillar machines are the BIAS PLY
and RADIAL PLY tires. The following is a brief
explanation of the principal features of these two
constructions.
Bias Ply
1. Beads — The tire beads consist of steel wire-
bundles (3 or 4 in larger tires) which are forced
laterally by tire inflation pressure to wedge the
tire firmly on the rim’s tapered bead seat. The
nylon plies tie into the bead bundles. The forces
inherent in the tire are transmitted from the rim
through the bead bundles into the nylon.
2. Body plies — Layers of rubber-cushioned nylon
cord comprise the tire carcass. Alternating plies
of cord cross the tread centerline at an angle
(bias). The term “ply rating” is an index of tire
strength and not the actual number of tire plies.
3. Breakers or tread plies — These, if used, are con-
fined to the tire’s tread area and are intended to
improve carcass strength and provide additional
protection to the body plies. Some “work” tires
employ steel breakers or belts to further protect
the carcass.
4. Sidewalls — These are the protective rubber lay-
ers covering the body plies in the sidewall.
5. Tread — The wearing part of the tire which con-
tacts the ground. It transmits the machine weight
to the ground and provides traction and flotation.
6. Inner liner — This is the sealing medium which
retains the air and, combined with the “O” ring
seal and rim base, eliminates the need for inner
tubes and flaps.
7. Tubes and flaps — There are a few applications
where tire life may be improved by using tubes
and flaps (not shown).
8. Undertread — Protective rubber cushion lying
between tread and body ply.

Radial Ply
1. Beads A single bead bundle of steel cables or
steel strip (spiraled like a clock spring) comprise
the bead at each rim interface.
2. Radial carcass — This consists of a single layer
or ply of steel cables laid archwise (on the radian)
bead to bead.
3. Belts — Several layers or plies of steel cable form
the belts which underlie the tread area around
the tire circumference. The cable in each belt
crosses the tread centerline at an angle with the
angle being reversed from the preceding belt.
4. Sidewalls.
5. Tread.
6. Undertread — Protective rubber cushion lying
between tread and steel belts.
TIRE TYPES
Off-the-road tires are classified by application in
one of the following three categories:
1. Transport tire — For earthmoving machines that
transport material such as trucks and wheel
tractors.
2. Work tire — Normally applied to slow moving earth-
moving machines such as graders and loaders.
3. Load and carry — Wheel loaders engaged in
transporting as well as digging.
In actual practice there are few instances where
it is necessary to apply a type of tire in an applica-
tion not originally intended by the tire designer.
More tires are now being designed for a wide range
of applications.
TIRE SIZE NOMENCLATURE
Tire size nomenclature is derived from the
approximate cross section width and rim diameter
with various systems being available:
1. A wide base tire, for example, is designated as a
29.5-35 with the approximate cross section width
being the first number (inches) and the rim diam-
eter the second number (inches). Industry stan-
dards permit this tire’s width to be a maximum
of 824 mm (32.45") in service.
2. A standard base tire, for example, is designated
as a 24.00-35 with the approximate cross section
width being the first number (inches) and the rim
diameter the second number (inches). Industry
standards permit this tire width to be a maxi-
mum 718 mm (28.27") in service.
3. A low profile tire, for example, is designated as a
40/65-39 (formerly 65/40-39 or 40-39) with the
approximate cross section width being the first
(40) number (inches) and the rim diameter the
third (39) number (inches). The second number
(65 actually is 0.65) is the aspect ratio (section
height divided by section width).
If designated 40/65 R39, then the R denotes
radial construction.
The wide base tire has an aspect ratio of approx-
imately 0.83 and the standard base 0.95. The “low
profile tire” has an aspect ratio of 0.65.
When comparing a wide base tire to a standard
base tire, it must be remembered a larger first num-
ber on a wide base tire with the same rim diameter
does not mean the wide base is larger in overall
diameter. For example, the 18.00-25 standard base
tire is larger in diameter than the 20.5-25 wide base.
It is comparable in overall diameter to the 23.5-25
wide base.

CODE IDENTIFICATION FOR
OFF-HIGHWAY TIRES
The tire industry has adopted a code identifica-
tion system to be used for off-the-road tires. This
identification system will reduce the confusion
caused by the trade names for each type of tire
offered by each tire manufacturer. The industry code
identification is divided into six main categories by
types of service as follows:
C— Compactor Service
E— Earthmover Service
G— Grader Service
L— Loader & Dozer Service
LS — Log-Skidder Service
ML — Mining & Logging Service
The sub-categories are designated by numerals,

Tires Manufacturer’s Designation
RADIAL TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Code Identification for Michelin Tires
All Michelin earthmover tires are radial construc-
tion, designated by the “X” marking. They contain a
single steel radial ply with a series of steel belts
placed around the tire’s circumference which rein-
force and stabilize the tread.
Following are the tread designs currently avail-
able from Michelin with the different internal con-
structions depending on the application.
Type A Cut resistant tread compound with
reinforced sidewalls for work machines,
mine vehicles, and slow moving trans-
port machines on ground where there
is danger of cuts, penetration, etc.
Type B — Wear and heat resistant construction
for use on most transport machines.
Type C For use on the highest speed transport
machines.
A4/B4/C4 — Additional tread compounds are avail-
able for haul trucks which can opti-
mize performance for specific site
conditions.
The current combinations of tread patterns, con-
struction, and tread depths offered, and primary
TRA codes are:

Since Michelin radial tires contain a single steel
casing ply, they utilize the industry method of des-
ignating radial tire strength in terms of “stars.” Their
system consists of a one star, two star, and three star
rating as an indication of the tire’s carrying capacity.
The one star is the lightest construction, generally
used on work and slow moving transport machines.
Two star tires are used on most medium and high
speed transport machines. Three star construction
provides the greatest carrying capacity for a given
size and is only available in small standard base tires.
This combination of tread designs and types of con-
struction provides a range of radial tires which cover
most earthmoving applications. We recommend that
in applying steel radial tires to your machines you
provide all data to the tire manufacturer. Obtain his
recommendations as to which tire will provide the
most economical operation.
Code Identification for Goodyear Radial Tires
All Goodyear steel radial earthmover tires have
been designated Unisteel followed by a three or four
digit alpha-numeric code that identifies the partic-
ular tread. The currently active codes are:
RL-2+ E 2/3 and L 2/3
RL-2F E2 and L2 RL-4H/HII E4
RL-3 E3 RL-4J E4

TiresRadial Tire Identification
Michelin
Goodyear
The RL stands for Rock Lug and indicates that the
upper sidewall has rock protection. The number in
the code corresponds to the tire industry identifica-
tion system (2-traction, 3-rock, etc). The fourth digit,
if any, is used to designate tread design differences
for the same basic tread type (F-directional tread).
The carcass strength is indicated by a star rating
system instead of the ply rating system. These sym-
bols indicate the recommended inflation for a par-
ticular tire load.
Following the star rating code is Goodyears Cus-
tom Compound and Construction code. For a tire
designated “2S” the 2 indicates a heat resistant
compound and the S indicates standard construc-
tion and an H indicates heavy duty construction.
The higher the number the greater the abrasion and
cut resistance with a corresponding lower T-km/h
(TON-mph) rating.
Code Identification for Bridgestone Radial Tires
The Bridgestone steel radial earthmover has been
designated as V-Steel. The current nomenclature is:
V-Steel Ultra Traction (VUT) G2/L2
V-Steel K-Traction (VKT) E2/L2/G2
V-Steel F-Traction (VFT) E2

Bridgestone has multiple tread compounds, with
the three most commonly used being: type 1A = stan-
dard, type 2A = cut resistant and type 3A = heat resis-
tant. The carcass strength, i.e., load carrying capacity
of tire is indicated by star rating system; 1-star, 2-star
and 3-star. All Bridgestone radial tires conform to the
international tire standard of TRA and ETRTO.
TON-MILES PER HOUR
Tire selection and machine operating practices
have, in some cases, become the critical factors in
the over-all success of earthmoving ventures. The
most serious problems occur when tires are operated
at temperatures above their capabilities. Separation
and related failures occur. To help you avoid tem-
perature related failures, Caterpillar has been
instrumental in developing the Ton-Miles Per Hour,
(Ton-MPH) method of rating tires.
Heat and Tire Failure
Tire manufacturing requires heat in the vulcan-
izing process converting crude rubber and additives
into a homogeneous compound. The heat required is
above 132°C (270°F).
A tire also generates heat as it rolls and flexes.
Heat generated faster than it can be radiated into
the atmosphere gradually builds within the tire and
reaches maximum level at the outermost ply or belt.
Over time, enough heat can develop from over-
flexing to actually reverse the vulcanizing process or
“revert” the rubber causing ply separation and tire
failure. Only a brief time at reversion temperature
initiates the failure. Experience shows that few pure
heat separation cases occur. Most so-called heat sep-
arations are in tires operating below the reversion
level.
As a tire’s operating temperature increases the
rubber and textiles within significantly lose strength.
The tire becomes more susceptible to failures from
cornering, braking, impact, cut through, fatigue and
heat separation. If operating tires at higher temper-
atures is absolutely necessary, it is essential the
machines be operated to reduce the probability of pre-
mature tire failure. No hard cornering without super-
elevation, no panic braking, etc.
The Ton-MPH formula was developed to predict
tire temperature buildup. The system is a method of
rating tires in proportion to the amount of work they
can do from a temperature standpoint. It utilizes
the product of load
3
speed to derive an index of the
tire temperature buildup. Maximum tire level-off
temperatures of 107°C (225°F) for fabric cord tires
and 93°C (200°F) for steel wire tires are the limits
Caterpillar recommends. Even at these tempera-
tures, failures may be initiated by overstressing the
tires. Some tire companies rate fabric cord tires at
111°C (232°F) and on occasion as high as 118°C
(250°F). These higher temperature levels are ques-
tionable under average field conditions.

Tires Radial Tire Identification
Bridgestone
Ton-Miles Per Hour Rating System
It is possible by using a needle type pyrometer to
measure temperature at any desired point within
the tire carcass. However, the instrumentation and
the technique does not lend itself to general field
use. The greatest difficulty is locating the thickest
(therefore the hottest) tread bar in any given tire
using giant calipers. The tire must then be drilled
along the centerline of this bar from shoulder to
shoulder at 52 mm (2") intervals. These 3.18 mm
(1/8") diameter holes extend down through the tread
and undertread to the topmost reinforcement. This
procedure is fully described under SAE Recommended
practice J1015.
The Ton-MPH rating system as given in this SAE
specification is approved by most tire manufactur-
ers. Michelin, in addition to providing Ton-MPH rat-
ings has developed their own speed/load carrying
rating system and we recommend that Michelin be
consulted where high tire temperature with Michelin
tires might be a problem.
Heat generation in a specific tire at recommended
pressure depends on three factors:
the weight the tire is carrying (flex per revolution),
the speed the tire is traveling over the ground
(flexures over a period of time), and
the air temperature surrounding the tire (ambi-
ent temperature) and road surface temperature.
Once a tire manufacturer has determined a tire’s
temperature characteristics and expressed them in
Ton-MPH, the above listed specific job conditions
can be used to determine any tire’s maximum work
capacity. These conditions provide on site ability to
predict and avoid costly tire separations.
Ton-Mile-Per-Hour Rating System
The tire TMPH can be matched to the site TMPH
as well as compared with TMPH values of different
makes and types of tires.
TMPH Job Rate
Average Tire Load 3Average Speed for the shift
Average Tire Load
“Empty” tire load + “loaded” tire load
2
Average Speed
Round trip distance in miles 3number of trips
Total Hours (in the shift)
For excessive haul length (20 miles or more) con-
sult your tire representative for modification to the
TMPH value.
To use in the metric system, change miles to kilom-
eters and use metric tons.
It should be noted that prolonged operation at
high carcass temperatures can fatigue the nylon at
the flex points in the sidewalls.
The following are the most recent Ton-MPH rat-
ings as made available by Goodyear, Michelin and
Bridgestone, and are subject to change on their part
at any time. Other tire manufacturers’ Ton-MPH
ratings will be included in future handbook editions
when and if made available. For latest Ton-MPH
ratings, consult specific tire manufacturer at time of
machine and/or tire purchase.
Load-and-Carry T-km/h (Ton-MPH)
The wheel loader, when used in load-and-carry
applications, may encounter temperature problems
similar to those normally associated only with tires
on scrapers, trucks and wagons. Do not place the
vehicle in load-and-carry applications with-
out first obtaining T-km/h (Ton-MPH) ratings
and pressure recommendations from the tire
manufacturer.
Conventional and Radial Steel Cord Tire Options
Tire options now provide types to operate in con-
ditions ranging from rock and abrasive materials,
to jobs with high speed hauls in good materials.
The best tire type can be different for the drive tires
than for other tires on the same machine. T-km/h
(Ton-MPH) should be calculated for all tires.
Tire Drive-Away Recommendations
Heat separation can be a problem during machine
delivery and moving machines from one job to
another. Whenever roading earthmoving machines,
check your supplier for the tire manufacturer’s rec-
ommended speed limitations on the specific tires
involved.
Some tire manufacturers also recommend that
vehicles equipped with extra tread depth or special
compounded tires should not be roaded without their
specific approval. Our tests support this recommen-
dation, especially for L-3, L-4, E-4 and L-5 tires.

TIRE AND RIM ASSOCIATION RATINGS
While the T-km/h (Ton-MPH) Rating System pro-
vides a method to determine the tire’s work capac-
ity, Tire and Rim Association Ratings provide a
guide for evaluating a tire’s structural capacity. These
two rating systems should be used in conjunction to
evaluate tire performance.
TIRE SELECTION
Selecting the optimum tire for a given application
is particularly critical for earthmoving. The machines
have the capability to outperform the tires and,
unless proper practices are observed, very costly
premature tire failures can occur. Job conditions
vary greatly throughout the world, as well as within
any given job site, and selecting the optimum tire
requires careful consideration of all factors involved.
In general, the tire manufacturer should be con-
sulted before making the selection for any given
application. In some cases, the tire manufacturer
can fabricate tires specifically tailored for a given
job site.
For those applications where wear is extremely
slow, especially as a result of only occasional oper-
ation throughout the year, the cheapest lightweight
tire needs to be given strong consideration.
As job conditions become severe, the following fac-
tors should be evaluated in selecting a tire:
Transport or Load-and-carry —
T-km/h (Ton-MPH) (primary consideration)
Minimum approved ply rating or greater
Largest optional size
Thickest tread commensurate with T-km/h
(Ton-MPH)
Largest practical bar to gap ratio
Most cut resistant tread commensurate with
T-km/h (Ton-MPH)
Belted construction
Loader or Dozer —
Minimum approved ply rating or greater
Largest optional size
Thickest tread
Thickest available undertread
Buttressed shoulder
Most cut resistant tread
Largest practical bar to gap ratio
Belted construction
Lowest aspect ratio
All tires should be operated at the tire manufac-
turer’s recommended inflation pressure for a given
application. Inflation pressure should be checked
every working day with an accurate Bourden-tube
type gauge. This gauge should be checked against a
known standard such as a dead weight tester at
least once a month.
Excess loads may result from factors such as vary-
ing material density, field modifications to equip-
ment, mud accumulation, load transfer, etc. Only
under these conditions may the actual in service tire
load exceed the rated machine load. When excess
loads are encountered, cold inflation pressures must
be increased to compensate for higher loads. Increase
tire inflation pressure 2% for each 1% increase in
load.
Maximum
Excess
Load Pressure
Bias Ply 15% 30%
Radial Ply 7% 14%
The above loads will result in reduced tire performance
and must be approved by the tire manufacturer.
The use of chains is difficult to justify except under
a few conditions. Chains are very costly and heavy,
and require more maintenance than most operations
can provide. On some models sufficient clearance
does not exist for chains with all tire combinations.
Extensive modifications may be required if chains
are needed for the job.
Foam filling tires is normally not recommended
due to high cost and lack of local filling facilities. Its
use should be confined to loader and dozer applica-
tions where penetrations occur almost daily. If foam
is used be sure to adhere to recommended equivalent
pressures of nitrogen and use highest available ply
rating.

Standard Cold Inflation Pressures
TIRE SUPPLIER RECOMMENDED COLD
INFLATION PRESSURES
The following tables present Caterpillar and the
tire suppliers’ recommended cold inflation pressures
for tires on Caterpillar machines. An asterisk (*)
indicates the standard tire size and ply rating.
The inflation pressure is based on a ready-to-work
vehicle weight with no attachments, rated payload,
and average operating conditions. Pressures for
each application may need to be varied from
those shown and should always be obtained
from your tire supplier.
Pressures for all tires apply to rib, traction, rock,
deep tread, and super deep tread tires.
NOTE: Caterpillar now recommends using dry nitrogen (N2) gas for
both tire inflation and pressure adjustments on all current and past
production machines.

***Ballast weight for bias ply tires from Goodyear data, radial ply weights from Michelin data.Contact your tire supplier for additional information. Under abnormal tire wear
conditions, ballasting of rear tires may be desirable. Ballasting of front tires also should only be done where extremely rapid tire wear rates are encountered. Excessive
weight will reduce machine performance.
***Fillage beyond 75% of tire enclosed volume is not recommended. With liquid ballasting, inflation pressure must be checked at least once per day.
***1.6 kg (312lb) Calcium Chloride per gallon water. Solution weighs 4.6 kg (10.15 lb) per gallon.
NOTE: When liquid ballasting telehandler tires, consult Telehandler’s Operation and Maintenance Manual for requirements. Also total machine mass with ballasted tires
must not exceed certification mass listed on the ROPS certification label.

INTRODUCTION
This section explains the earthmoving principles
used to determine machine productivity. It shows
how to calculate production on-the-job or estimate
production off-the-job.
Machine performance is usually measured on an
hourly basis in terms of machine productivity and
machine owning and operating cost. Optimum
machine performance can be expressed as follows:
Lowest Possible
Hourly Costs
Lowest cost per ton = ___________________
Highest Possible
Hourly Productivity
ELEMENTS OF PRODUCTION
Production is the hourly rate at which material
is moved. Production can be expressed in various
units:
Metric
Bank Cubic Meters — BCM — bank m3
Loose Cubic Meters — LCM — loose m3
Compacted Cubic
Meters — CCM — compacted m3
Tonnes
English
Bank Cubic Yards — BCY — bank yd3
Loose Cubic Yards — LCY — loose yd3
Compacted Cubic
Yards — CCY — compacted yd3
Tons
For most earthmoving and material handling
applications, production is calculated by multiply-
ing the quantity of material (load) moved per cycle
by the number of cycles per hour.
Production = Load/cycle 2cycles/hour
The load can be determined by
1) load weighing
2) load estimating based on machine rating
3) surveyed volume divided by load count
Generally, earthmoving and overburden removal
for coal mines are calculated by volume (bank cubic
meters or bank cubic yards). Metal mines and aggre-
gate producers usually work in weight (tons or tonnes).

EARTHMOVING

Volume Measure — Material volume is defined
according to its state in the earthmoving process.
The three measures of volume are:
BCM (BCY) one cubic meter (yard) of material
as it lies in the natural bank state.
LCM (LCY) one cubic meter (yard) of material
which has been disturbed and has
swelled as a result of movement.
CCM (CCY) one cubic meter (yard) of material
which has been compacted and has
become more dense as a result of
compaction.
In order to estimate production, the relationships
between bank measure, loose measure, and com-
pacted measure must be known.
Swell — Swell is the percentage of original volume
(cubic meters or cubic yards) that a material increases
when it is removed from the natural state. When
excavated, the material breaks up into different size
particles that do not fit together, causing air pockets
or voids to reduce the weight per volume. For exam-
ple to hold the same weight of one cubic unit of bank
material it takes 30% more volume (1.3 times) after
excavation. (Swell is 30%.)
Loose cubic volume
for a given weight
1 + Swell = ______________________
Bank cubic volume for
the same given weight
Loose
Bank = __________
(1 + Swell)
Loose = Bank 2(1 + Swell)
Example Problem:
If a material swells 20%, how many loose cubic
meters (loose cubic yards) will it take to move 1000
bank cubic meters (1308 bank cubic yards)?
Loose = Bank 2(1 + Swell) =
1000 BCM 2(1 + .2) = 1200 LCM
1308 BCY 2(1 + .2) = 1570 LCY
How many bank cubic meters (yards) were moved
if a total of 1000 loose cubic meters (1308 yards)
have been moved? Swell is 25%.
Bank = Loose ÷ (1 + Swell) =
1000 LCM ÷ (1 + .25) = 800 BCM
1308 LCY ÷ (1 + .25) = 1046 BCY
Load Factor Assume one bank cubic yard of
material weighs 3000 lb. Because of material char-
acteristics, this bank cubic yard swells 30% to 1.3 loose
cubic yards when loaded, with no change in weight.
If this 1.0 bank cubic yard or 1.3 loose cubic yards
is compacted, its volume may be reduced to 0.8 com-
pacted cubic yard, and the weight is still 3000 lbs.
Instead of dividing by 1 + Swell to determine bank
volume, the loose volume can be multiplied by the
load factor.
If the percent of material swell is known, the load
factor (L.F.) may be obtained by using the following
relationship:
100%
L.F. = ______________
100% + % swell
Load factors for various materials are listed in
the Tables Section of this handbook.
To estimate the machine payload in bank cubic
yards, the volume in loose cubic yards is multiplied
by the load factor:
Load (BCY) = Load (LCY) 2L.F.
The ratio between compacted measure and bank
measure is called shrinkage factor (S.F.):
Compacted cubic yards (CCY)
S.F. = ____________________________
Bank cubic yards (BCY)
Shrinkage factor is either estimated or obtained
from job plans or specifications which show the con-
version from compacted measure to bank measure.
Shrinkage factor should not be confused with per-
centage compaction (used for specifying embank-
ment density, such as Modified Proctor or CBR).
Material Density — Density is the weight per unit
volume of a material. Materials have various densi-
ties depending on particle size, moisture content and
variations in the material. The denser the material
the more weight there is per unit of equal volume.
Density estimates are provided in the Tables Section
of this handbook.
Weight kg (lbs)

Earthmoving Elements of Production
Volume Measure Swell
Load Factor Material Density
A given material’s density changes between bank
and loose. One cubic unit of loose material has less
weight than one cubic unit of bank material due to
air pockets and voids. To correct between bank and
loose use the following equations.
kg/BCM lbs/BCY
1 + Swell = ________ or ________
kg/LCM lbs/LCY
lb/BCY
lbs/LCY = __________
(1 + Swell)
lbs/BCY = lbs/LCY 2(1 + Swell)
Fill Factor — The percentage of an available vol-
ume in a body, bucket, or bowl that is actually used
is expressed as the fill factor. A fill factor of 87% for
a hauler body means that 13% of the rated volume
is not being used to carry material. Buckets often
have fill factors over 100%.
Example Problem:
A 14 cubic yard (heaped 2:1) bucket has a 105% fill

Soil Density Tests — There are a number of
acceptable methods that can be used to determine
soil density. Some that are currently in use are:
Nuclear density moisture gauge
Sand cone method
Oil method
Balloon method
Cylinder method
All these except the nuclear method use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Remove a soil sample from bank state.
2. Determine the volume of the hole.
3. Weigh the soil sample.
4. Calculate the density kg/BCM (lb/BCY).
The nuclear density moisture gauge is one of the
most modern instruments for measuring soil den-
sity and moisture. A common radiation channel
emits either neutrons or gamma rays into the soil.
In determining soil density, the number of gamma
rays absorbed and back scattered by soil particles
is indirectly proportional to the soil density. When
measuring moisture content, the number of moder-
ated neutrons reflected back to the detector after
colliding with hydrogen particles in the soil is
directly proportional to the soil's moisture content.
All these methods are satisfactory and will provide
accurate densities when performed correctly. Several
repetitions are necessary to obtain an average.

FIGURING PRODUCTION ON-THE-JOB
Load Weighing — The most accurate method of
determining the actual load carried is by weighing.
This is normally done by weighing the haul unit one
wheel or axle at a time with portable scales. Any
scales of adequate capacity and accuracy can be used.
While weighing, the machine should be relatively
level to reduce error caused by weight transfer.
Enough loads should be weighed to provide a good
average. Machine weight is the sum of the individ-
ual wheel or axle weights.
The weight of the load can be determined using
the empty and loaded weight of the unit.
Weight of
load = Gross machine weight – empty weight
To determine the bank cubic measure carried by
a machine, the load weight is divided by the bank-
state density of the material being hauled.
Weight of load
BCY = _____________
Bank density
Times Studies — To estimate production, the
number of complete trips a unit makes per hour must
be determined. First obtain the unit’s cycle time with
the help of a stop watch. Time several complete cycles
to arrive at an average cycle time. By allowing the
watch to run continuously, different segments such
as load time, wait time, etc. can be recorded for each
cycle. Knowing the individual time segments affords
a good opportunity to evaluate the balance of the
spread and job efficiency. The following is an exam-
ple of a scraper load time study form. Numbers in
the white columns are stop watch readings; numbers
in the shaded columns are calculated:

Time Studies
Example (English)
This may be easily extended to include other seg-
ments of the cycle such as haul time, dump time, etc.
Similar forms can be made for pushers, loaders,
dozers, etc. Wait Time is the time a unit must wait
for another unit so that the two can function together
(haul unit waiting for pusher). Delay Time is any
time, other than wait time, when a machine is not
performing in the work cycle (scraper waiting to
cross railroad track).
To determine trips-per-hour at 100% efficiency,
divide 60 minutes by the average cycle time less all
wait and delay time. Cycle time may or may not
include wait and/or delay time. Therefore, it is pos-
sible to figure different kinds of production: meas-
ured production, production without wait or delay,
maximum production, etc. For example:
Actual Production: includes all wait and delay time.
Normal Production (without delays): includes wait
time that is considered normal, but no delay time.
Maximum Production: to figure maximum (or opti-
mum) production, both wait time and delay time
are eliminated. The cycle time may be further
altered by using an optimum load time.

ESTIMATING PRODUCTION OFF-THE-JOB
It is often necessary to estimate production of
earthmoving machines which will be selected for a
job. As a guide, the remainder of the section is
devoted to discussions of various factors that may
affect production. Some of the figures have been
rounded for easier calculation.
Rolling Resistance (RR) is a measure of the
force that must be overcome to roll or pull a wheel
over the ground. It is affected by ground conditions
and load — the deeper a wheel sinks into the ground,
the higher the rolling resistance. Internal friction
and tire flexing also contribute to rolling resistance.
Experience has shown that minimum resistance is
approximately 2% (1.5% for radial tires or dual tired
trucks) of the gross machine weight (on tires).
Resistance due to tire penetration is approximately
1.5% of the gross machine weight for each inch of
tire penetration (0.6% for each cm of tire penetra-
tion). Thus rolling resistance can be calculated using
these relationships in the following manner:
RR = 2% of GMW + 0.6% of GMW per cm tire
penetration
RR = 2% of GMW + 1.5% of GMW per inch tire
penetration
It’s not necessary for the tires to actually penetrate
the road surface for rolling resistance to increase
above the minimum. If the road surface flexes under
load, the effect is nearly the same — the tire is always
running “uphill”. Only on very hard, smooth sur-
faces with a well compacted base will the rolling
resistance approach the minimum.
When actual penetration takes place, some vari-
ation in rolling resistance can be noted with various
inflation pressures and tread patterns.
NOTE: When figuring “pull” requirements for track-
type tractors, rolling resistance applies only to the
trailed unit’s weight on wheels. Since tracktype trac-
tors utilize steel wheels moving on steel “roads”, a
tractor’s rolling resistance is relatively constant and
is accounted for in the Drawbar Pull rating.

Rolling Resistance
Grade Resistance is a measure of the force that
must be overcome to move a machine over unfavora-
ble grades (uphill). Grade assistance is a measure of
the force that assists machine movement on favor-
able grades (downhill).
Grades are generally measured in percent slope,
which is the ratio between vertical rise or fall and
the horizontal distance in which the rise or fall
occurs. For example, a 1% grade is equivalent to a
1 m (ft) rise or fall for every 100 m (ft) of horizontal
distance; a rise of 4.6 m (15 ft) in 53.5 m (175 ft)
equals an 8.6% grade.
4.6 m (rise)
__________________________ = 8.6% grade
53.3 m (horizontal distance)
15 ft (rise)
__________________________ = 8.6% grade
175 ft (horizontal distance)
Uphill grades are normally referred to as adverse
grades and downhill grades as favorable grades.
Grade resistance is usually expressed as a positive
(+) percentage and grade assistance is expressed as
a negative (–) percentage.
It has been found that for each 1% increment of
adverse grade an additional 10 kg (20 lb) of resis-
tance must be overcome for each metric (U.S.) ton of
machine weight. This relationship is the basis for
determining the Grade Resistance Factor which is
expressed in kg/metric ton (lb/U.S. ton):
Grade Resistance Factor = 10 kg/m ton 2 % grade
= 20 lb/U.S. ton 2 % grade
Grade resistance (assistance) is then obtained by
multiplying the Grade Resistance Factor by the
machine weight (GMW) in metric (U.S.) tons.
Grade Resistance = GR Factor 2GMW in metric
(U.S.) tons
Grade resistance may also be calculated using per-
centage of gross weight. This method is based on the
relationship that grade resistance is approximately
equal to 1% of the gross machine weight for 1% of
grade.
Grade Resistance = 1% of GMW 2% grade
Grade resistance (assistance) affects both wheel
and track-type machines.
Total Resistance is the combined effect of rolling
resistance (wheel vehicles) and grade resistance. It
can be computed by summing the values of rolling
resistance and grade resistance to give a resistance
in kilogram (pounds) force.
Total Resistance = Rolling Resistance +
Grade Resistance
Total resistance can also be represented as consist-
ing completely of grade resistance expressed in per-
cent grade. In other words, the rolling resistance
component is viewed as a corresponding quantity of
additional adverse grade resistance. Using this
approach, total resistance can then be considered in
terms of percent grade.
This can be done by converting the contribution of
rolling resistance into a corresponding percentage of
grade resistance. Since 1% of adverse grade offers a
resistance of 10 kg (20 lb) for each metric or (U.S.)
ton of machine weight, then each 10 kg (20 lb) of
resistance per ton of machine weight can be repre-
sented as an additional 1% of adverse grade. Rolling
resistance in percent grade and grade resistance in
percent grade can then be summed to give Total
Resistance in percent or Effective Grade. The fol-
lowing formulas are useful in arriving at Effective
Grade.
Rolling Resistance (%) = 2% + 0.6% per cm tire
penetration
= 2% + 1.5% per inch tire
penetration
Grade Resistance (%) = % grade
Effective Grade (%) = RR (%) + GR (%)
Effective grade is a useful concept when working
with Rimpull-Speed-Gradeability curves, Retarder
curves, Brake Performance curves, and Travel Time
curves.
Traction — is the driving force developed by a
wheel or track as it acts upon a surface. It is expressed
as usable Drawbar Pull or Rimpull. The following
factors affect traction: weight on the driving wheel
or tracks, gripping action of the wheel or track, and
ground conditions. The coefficient of traction (for any
roadway) is the ratio of the maximum pull devel-
oped by the machine to the total weight on the drivers.
Pull
Coeff. of traction = _________________
weight on drivers
Therefore, to find the usable pull for a given
machine:
Usable pull = Coeff. of traction 2weight on drivers
Example: Track-Type Tractor
What usable drawbar pull (DBP) can a 26 800 kg
(59,100 lb) Track-type Tractor exert while working
on firm earth? on loose earth? (See table section for
coefficient of traction.)

Earthmoving Estimating Production Off-the-Job

Answer:
Firm earth — Usable DBP =
0.90 226 800 kg = 24 120 kg
(0.90 259,100 lb = 53,190 lb)
Loose earth — Usable DBP =
0.60 226 800 kg = 16 080 kg
(0.60 259,100 lb = 35,460 lb)
If a load required 21 800 kg (48,000 lb) pull to move
it, this tractor could move the load on firm earth.
However, if the earth were loose, the tracks would
spin.
NOTE: D8R through D11R Tractors may attain
higher coefficients of traction due to their suspended
undercarriage.
Example: Wheel Tractor-Scraper
What usable rimpull can a 621F size machine exert
while working on firm earth? on loose earth? The
total loaded weight distribution of this unit is:
Drive unit Scraper unit
wheels: 23 600 kg wheels: 21 800 kg
(52,000 lb) (48,000 lb)
Remember, use weight on drivers only.
Answer:
Firm earth 0.55 2 23 600 kg = 12 980 kg
(0.55 2 52,000 lb = 28,600 lb)
Loose earth — 0.45 2 23 600 kg = 10 620 kg
(0.45 2 52,000 lb = 23,400 lb)
On firm earth this unit can exert up to 12 980 kg
(28,600 lb) rimpull without excessive slipping. How-
ever, on loose earth the drivers would slip if more
than 10 620 kg (23,400 lb) rimpull were developed.
● ● ●
Altitude — Specification sheets show how much
pull a machine can produce for a given gear and
speed when the engine is operating at rated horse-
power. When a standard machine is operated in high
altitudes, the engine may require derating to main-
tain normal engine life. This engine deration will
produce less drawbar pull or rimpull.
The Tables Section gives the altitude deration in
percent of flywheel horsepower for current machines.
It should be noted that some turbocharged engines
can operate up to 3050 m (10,000 ft) before they
require derating. Most machines are engineered to
operate up to 1520 m (5000 ft) before they require
deration.
The horsepower deration due to altitude must be
considered in any job estimating. The amount of
power deration will be reflected in the machine’s
gradeability and in the load, travel, and dump and
load times (unless loading is independent of the
machine itself).
The example job problem that follows indicates one
method of accounting for altitude deration: by increas-
ing the appropriate components of the total cycle
time by a percentage equal to the percent of horse-
power deration due to altitude. (i.e., if the travel time
of a hauling unit is determined to be 1.00 minute at
full HP, the time for the same machine derated to 90%
of full HP will be 1.10 min.) This is an approximate
method that yields reasonably accurate estimates
up to 3000 m (10,000 feet) elevation.
Travel time for hauling units derated more than
10% should be calculated as follows using Rimpull-
Speed-Gradeability charts.
1) Determine total resistance (grade plus rolling)
in percent.

2) Beginning at point A on the chart follow the
total resistance line diagonally to its intersection,
B, with the vertical line corresponding to the appro-
priate gross machine weight. (Rated loaded and
empty GMW lines are shown dotted.)
3) Using a straight-edge, establish a horizontal
line to the left from point B to point C on the rim-
pull scale.
4) Divide the value of point C as read on the rim-
pull scale by the percent of total horsepower avail-
able after altitude deration from the Tables Section.
This yields rimpull value D higher than point C.

5) Establish a horizontal line right from point D.
The farthest right intersection of this line with a
curved speed range line is point E.
6) A vertical line down from point E determines
point F on the speed scale.
7) Multiply speed in kmh by 16.7 (mph by 88) to
obtain speed in m/min (ft/min). Travel time in min-
utes for a given distance in feet is determined by
the formula:
Distance in m (ft)
Time (min) = ______________________
Speed in m/min (ft/min)
The Travel Time Graphs in sections on Wheel
Tractor-Scrapers and Construction & Mining Trucks
can be used as an alternative method of calculating
haul and/or return times.

Given the compaction requirement of 1655 CCY/hr,
the 825C is an adequate compactor match-up for
the rest of the fleet. However, any change to job lay-
out that would increase fleet production would upset
this balance.

NOTE: Ton-MPH calculations should be made to
judge the ability of the tractor-scraper tires to oper-
ate safely under these conditions.
13. Other Considerations:
If other equipment such as rippers, water wagons,
discs or other miscellaneous machines are needed
for the particular operation, then these machines
must also be included in the cost per BCY.

Total Effective Grade = RR (%) ± GR (%)
Sec. A: Total Effective Grade = 10% + 0% = 10%
Sec. B: Total Effective Grade = 4% + 0% = 4%
Sec. C: Total Effective Grade = 4% + 4% = 8%
Sec. D: Total Effective Grade = 10% + 0% = 10%
1. Estimate Payload:
Est. load (LCM) 2L.F. 2Bank Density = payload

Total (GMW) 74 000 kg or 74 metric tons
3. Calculate Usable Pull (traction limitation):
Loaded: (weight on driving wheels = 54%) (GMW)
Traction Factor 2Wt. on driving wheels =
0.50 274 000 kg 254% = 19 980 kg

Sec. B: = 2960 kg + 0 = 2960 kg
Sec. C: = 2960 kg + 2960 kg= 5920 kg
Sec. D:= 7400 kg + 0 = 7400 kg
Check usable kilogram force against maximum

7. Estimate Cycle Time:
Total Travel Time (Haul plus Return) = 5.55 min
Adjusted for altitude: 100% 25.55 min = 5.55 min
Load Time 0.7 min
Maneuver and Spread Time 0.7 min
________
Total Cycle Time 6.95 min
8. Check pusher-scraper combinations:
Pusher cycle time consists of load, boost, return
and maneuver time. Where actual job data is not
available, the following may be used.
Boost time = 0.10 minute
Return time = 40% of load time
Maneuver time = 0.15 minute
Pusher cycle time = 140% of load time + 0.25
minute
Pusher cycle time = 140% of 0.7 min + 0.25 minute
= 0.98 + 0.25 = 1.23 minute
Scraper cycle time divided by pusher cycle time
indicates the number of scrapers which can be han-
dled by each pusher.
6.95 min
________ = 5.65
1.23 min
Each push tractor is capable of handling five plus
scrapers. Therefore the two pushers can adequately
serve the eleven scrapers.
9. Estimate Production:
Cycles/hour = 60 min ÷ Total cycle time
= 60 min/hr ÷ 6.95 min/cycle
= 8.6 cycles/hr
Estimated load = Heaped capacity 2L.F.
= 24 LCM 20.80
= 19.2 BCM

production = Est. load 2cycles/hr
= 19.2 BCM 28.6 cycles/hr

165 BCM
= 137 BCM/hour
Hourly fleet
production = Unit production 2
No. of units
= 137 BCM/hr 211 units
= 1507 BCM/hr
10. Estimate Compaction:
Compaction
requirement = S.F. 2hourly fleet
production
= 0.85 21507 BCM/hr
= 1280 CCM/hr
Compaction capability (given the following):
Compacting width, 2.26 m (W)

Given the compaction requirement of 1280 CCM/h,
the 825C is an adequate compactor match-up for
the rest of the fleet. However, any change to job lay-
out that would increase fleet production would upset
this balance.

SYSTEMS
Caterpillar offers a variety of machines for differ-
ent applications and jobs. Many of these separate
machines function together in mining and earth-
moving systems.
Bulldozing with track-type tractors
Load-and-Carry with wheel loaders
Scrapers self-loading with elevator, auger, or
push-pull configurations, or push-loaded by track-
type tractors
Articulated trucks loaded by excavators, track
loaders or wheel loaders
Off-highway trucks loaded by shovels, excavators
or wheel loaders
Economic Haul Distances — Mobile equipment
systems for construction or mining jobs operate in
generalized economic application zones. These zones
vary by machine with distance, underfoot conditions,
grades, material type, production rate and operator
skill. Of these factors, distance provides the best ini-
tial basis for system selection. The following table
provides general rules of thumb for systems appl-
cation based on distance. These haul ranges will
vary by application.

Loading Match — Loading tools have a production
range that varies with material, bucket configuration,
target size, operator skill and load area conditions.
The loader/truck matches given in the following
table are with the typical number of passes and pro-
duction range.
Your Cat Dealer can provide advice and estimates
based on your specific conditions.
FUEL CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTIVITY
Fuel efficiency is the term used to relate fuel con-
sumption and machine productivity. It is expressed
in units of material moved per volume of fuel con-
sumed. Common units are cubic meters or tonnes
per liter of fuel (cubic yards or tons/gal). Determin-
ing fuel efficiency requires measuring both fuel con-
sumption and production.
Measuring fuel consumption involves tapping into
the vehicle’s fuel supply system — without conta-
minating the fuel. The amount of fuel consumed
during operation is then measured on a weight or
volumetric basis.

Introduction
This chapter gives information for estimating per-
formance of Cat machines in logging. The chapters
on Earthmoving and Owning and Operating Costs
should be understood before applying this chapter.
Because of variations in conditions, actual experi-
ence should be considered whenever it is available.
ESTIMATING WHEEL AND TRACK
SKIDDER PRODUCTION
1. Determine the weight of the average log and
multiply log loads expected to be skidded. If aver-
age weights or volumes are not available from
local timber cruise or log scale data, they can be
estimated using the following procedure:
— Determine length and both end diameters of
the average size log to be skidded. Then deter-
mine its volume using tables in this section.
— Determine average log weight based on its
estimated volume and green density for the
species being skidded using the tables in this
section.
2. Determine operating weight of machines being
considered. If one end of the logs will be suspended
by a cable arch or hydraulic grapple, estimate the
percent of log weight that will be transferred to
the machine. Then determine total machine plus
load transferred weight. Weight transfer of small
diameter logs with substantial taper may be as
high as two-thirds when skidded with large end
ahead and as low as one-third with small end
ahead. Large diameter logs with little taper will
have weight transfer closer to 50% of their weight.

3. Determine the average percent grade on the pro-
posed skid trails. Then determine the grade resis-
tance or assistance for the haul and return portions
of the cycle for each machine considered. If there
are significant differences in grade along the pro-
posed trails, the grade resistance or assistance
must be determined for each section of the trails.
For the haul portion of the cycle, grade resistance
must be determined for log loads.
Grade Resistance in Kilograms = % Grade 2
10 kg/metric ton 2GMW in tons
Grade Resistance in Pounds = % Grade 220 lb/
U.S. ton 2GMW in tons
4. Determine the average rolling resistance for each
wheel-type machine being considered based on
expected tire penetration or on typical rolling
resistance factors shown in the Tables Section.
If there are significant differences in underfoot
conditions and tire penetration along the pro-
posed skid trails, rolling resistance must also be
determined for machines with and without loads.
RR Factor in kg/metric ton = 20 kg/t + (6 kg/t/cm
2tire penetration in cm)
RR Factor in lb/U.S. ton = 40 lb/ton + (30 lb/ton/
inch 2tire penetration in inches)
Total Rolling Resistance in Kilograms = RR
Factor in kg/t 2GMW in metric tons
Total Rolling Resistance in Pounds = RR Factor
in lb/U.S. ton 2GMW in tons
5. Determine skidding resistance for log loads on
each machine using the tables on the next page.
For log weights and grades not shown, skidding
resistance must be determined by interpolation.
The arch skidding tables must be used when one
end of the logs will be suspended by a cable arch
or hydraulic grapple. The ground skidding tables
are used when logs are not suspended. If there
are significant differences in grade along the pro-
posed trails, then skidding resistance must be
determined for each section.
6. Determine the total resistance or pull required
to overcome the total of grade, rolling, and skid-
ding resistance. Total resistance must be deter-
mined for each machine and skid trail section on
both haul and return portions of the cycles.
Total Resistance on Return = Grade Resistance
+ Rolling Resistance
Total Resistance on Haul = Grade Resistance
+ Rolling Resistance + Skidding Resistance
7. Determine the traction limitations or usable
pull for each machine with and without loads
if one end of the logs will be suspended. Usable
pull is estimated using the approximate coeffi-
cient of traction factors for the soil conditions
shown in Tables Section.
Usable Pull in Kilograms = Coefficient of
Traction 2GMW in Kilograms
Usable Pull in Pounds = Coefficient of Traction
2GMW in Pounds
8. Determine maximum return and haul travel
speeds for each machine and skid trail section
on those loads whose total resistance (required
pull) estimated in step 6 is less than the usable
pull estimated in step 7. Travel speeds for track-
type tractors are estimated from the drawbar
pull graphs in the Tractor Section. Wheel skid-
der travel speeds are estimated from the rim-
pull graphs in the Skidder Section.
9. Determine return and haul travel times for each
machine, load and segment based on the length
of each skid trail segment and the speeds deter-
mined in step 8.
Travel Time in Minutes = Distance in meters
÷ [(speed in km/h) (16.7)]
Travel Time in Minutes = Distance in feet

LOAD CAPACITY CURVES FOR WHEEL
LOADERS AND INTEGRATED
TOOLCARRIERS EQUIPPED WITH FORKS
Definitions:
Hydraulic Capacity: Weight that the hydraulic
system will lift with the rear of the loader anchored
and the load center of gravity midway on the fork
tines. Hydraulic capacity is not increased by coun-
terweighting.
Tipping Load: The loaded weight positioned as
described above, which will lift the rear wheels off
the ground with the machine in a static condition.
Static tipping load curves for wheel loaders equipped
with log or lumber forks are based on full machine
articulation.
Tipping load capacities are affected by counter-
weight and distance of the load center of gravity from
the front axle and degree of articulation. Fork cen-
ter of gravity and fork weight can also affect tipping
load.
Maximum Operating Load: Maximum operating
load should be based on static tipping load ratings
(tines level) and requires a firm, smooth, well-main-
tained operating area. Maximum operating loads
can be affected by:
Underfoot conditions.
Position or height the load is carried.
Fork position or attitude.
Degree machine is articulated during maneu-
vering.

Example problem:
Wheel Loader Selection 966F vs 950F
Optimum millyard performance depends on effi-
cient and proper use of wheel loaders performing
unloading, sorting and decking applications. The
following steps will aid in the proper wheel loader
selection.
Step 1: Determine the basic mill requirements (job
description).
EXAMPLE:
Logs arrive at the mill on trucks equipped with
double bunk trailers. Logs are a variety of hard-
woods, but white oak makes up the majority of
wood received. The trucks must be off-loaded
by a wheel loader equipped with log forks.
In addition to the off-loading, a primary loader
requirement is to supply the mill with raw mate-
rial in a load-and-carry operation. The loader
must also sort logs by species, grade and size,
and transport the excess logs from the unload-
ing area to the storage decks.
Maximum sawmill requirements — 544 met-
ric tons/8 hr. day (600 U.S. tons).
Maximum wood received — 30 truckloads/8 hr.
day.
Average number of logs per truckload — 20.
Average log specifications:
— length 4.9 m (16').
— butt diameter 660 mm (26").
— top diameter 430 mm (17").
Maximum truck stake height — 3.98 m (13'1").
Maximum haul distance (one way) from log
storage deck to the mill — 153 m (500').
Haul and return to mill in 2nd forward — 10%
effective grade.
Fixed times — load forks 0.7 min.
— maneuver and dump 0.5 min.
— truck unloading 1.0 min.
Average log weight = 1180 kg/log (2600 lb/log)
Refer to Weights and Measure section of this
handbook to obtain appropriate log volume
and density information.
Step 2: Determine the basic machine options and
capacities.
Refer to Capacity curves in the Performance Hand-
book under Logging and Forest Products section.
For other fork configurations not listed contact the
Forest Machinery Unit for performance curves. Also
refer to attachment adaptability section for infor-
mation needed for performance curves.
EXAMPLE:
Consider a 950F vs. 966F. Both are equipped
with logging fork.
950F
Static Tipping Load 10 000 kg (22,000 lb)
Hydraulic Lift Capacity 11 600 kg (25,520 lb)
Maximum Operating Load 10 000 kg (22,000 lb)
966F
Static Tipping Load 13,500 kg (29,700 lb)
Hydraulic Lift Capacity 14,500 kg (31,900 lb)
Maximum Operating Load 13,500 kg (29,700 lb)
Step 3: Determine cycle times.
Refer to Production Travel Time Charts in the
Wheel Loader section of the Performance Handbook.

Step 5: Determine Wheel Loader selection.
EXAMPLE:
From the production study completed and
assuming 100% efficiency it appears both
machines are capable of handling the maximum
daily production. The 950F and 966F will have
1.65 hrs/day and 3.28 hrs/day respectively to
handle unscheduled activities such as sorting,
storage and yard clean-up. However, after com-
paring the maximum hinge pin height for the
two machines, the 950F is not capable of clear-
ing the stakes with a load. This leaves the 966F
as the machine to recommend, since it can handle
all restrictions and production requirements.

Log Volume TablesLogging and Forest Products
USE OF LOG VOLUME TABLES
The tabulated volumes on these pages were cal-
culated with no taper in log diameter from base to
top. Therefore each value listed in the table repre-
sents the volume of a true cylinder. In practice this
may occur only in short sections of large diameter
trees. To obtain the volume of solid wood logs, exclud-
ing bark:
1. Establish the base diameter of the log inside the
bark and above the butt flare (extreme end taper).
2. Repeat the procedure for the top (small end) of log.
3. Enter log volume table at each of the two estab-
lished diameters. Move horizontally to the ver-
tical column closest to the length of the log being
measured.
4. Establish the volume figures for each end of the
log, add the two together and divide by two to
obtain average log volume.

INTRODUCTION
Efficient methods have been developed for handling
and storing coal with mobile equipment. Generally, a
power plant or other industrial facility which uses
coal, meets its daily requirements with incoming coal
shipments and will maintain an emergency stockpile
or deadpile. The deadpile is designed to meet the
burn requirements during any interruption of coal
shipments. Interruptions may include inclement
weather, carrier strikes, scheduling problems, etc.
The deadpile will contain approximately a 90 day
supply of coal and is constructed by thoroughly com-
pacting lifts, or layers, of coal approximately 15 cm
(6 in) thick. Thorough compaction of the entire stock-
pile, including the sides, eliminates air spaces, reduc-
ing the possibility of spontaneous combustion.
Reclaiming the deadpiled coal is critical when
incoming shipments are not able to satisfy the burn
requirements. Four basic types of mobile equipment
are available for stockpiling and reclaiming coal —
track-type tractors, wheel tractors, wheel loaders,
and wheel tractor-scrapers. Each type has its own
specific advantages. The equipment selected must
be able to meet the maximum hourly burn rate.
MACHINE SELECTION
Track-Type Tractors
Track-type tractors continue to be the most widely
used machines for coal handling operations.
Equipped with a U-shaped coal dozer, they are suita-
ble for meeting high production requirements over
dozing distances of less than 152 m (500 ft). Their
tractive capabilities and gradeability permit them to
operate on the sides of the stockpile and surge pile
which often prove inaccessible to other types of
equipment. They can also remove snow and frost
penetrated coal from the stockpile surface so that
rubber-tired equipment can work efficiently.
Wheel Tractors
These machines, with their long wheel base, low
center of gravity, and articulated design, offer good
stability and maneuverability. They have the abil-
ity to travel at a higher speed than the track-type
tractor, moving easily from one area of operation to
another, and provide greater compactive effort with
fewer passes. They are capable of performing some
utility functions. However, their coefficient of trac-
tion is less than that of track-type tractors. The most
efficient dozing distance for the wheel tractor is usu-
ally less than 152 m (500 ft).
Coal scoops are also available for wheel tractors
and may improve production under certain operat-
ing conditions.
Wheel Loaders
As dozing and hauling distances increase, wheel
loaders are able to effectively move coal in load-and-
carry operations. Since coal is a relatively light
material, the loaders should be equipped with larger
buckets sized for coal density. Versatility and mobil-
ity allow them to perform a variety of tasks, both
on and off the stockpile. They can load trucks or rail-
cars, dig out bottom ash and boiler slag from the
ash storage areas, and move railcars within the vicin-
ity of the power plant. Generally wheel loaders are
more efficient than track or wheel tractors at dis-
tances of 122 m (400 ft) or more.
Coal Scrapers
Tandem powered coal scrapers are generally used
when large volumes and long haul distances [over
152 m (500 ft)] are involved. They are able to effec-
tively self-load coal, and have the advantage of being
able to provide both high speed and large capacity;
in addition, scrapers provide the greatest compac-
tive effort. Coal scrapers are even more effective
when top loading systems and drive-over reclaiming
hoppers are used.

HOW TO EQUIP
Counterweighting
While larger blades or buckets allow for greater
production, counterweighting is often necessary to
improve the machine’s balance and handling capa-
bility. For track-type tractors, a rear counterweight
is recommended. Wheel machines use various meth-
ods to add weight. For example, scoop dozers use
front counterweights, and wheel machines often use
tire ballast. Below is a weight comparison of the
Caterpillar standard U-blade to the Balderson Coal
Dozer, along with the recommended counterweight
for D11R, D10R, D9R, D8R, and 834B.

How to Equip
Production Factors
Stockpile Coal Handling
Track Shoe Width
Track shoes are an important consideration since
shoe width determines tractive capability and com-
paction. Depending on the coal being stockpiled, the
utility company will often have a strong preference
concerning track shoe width. Basically, utilities
stockpiling low rank or sub-bituminous rank lignite
coal usually prefer the standard shoe width for max-
imum compactive effort to reduce the possibility of
spontaneous combustion.
Utilities burning medium or high rank bituminous
coals are not as concerned with spontaneous com-
bustion and sometimes prefer a wider shoe that
allows increased tractive capability on loose or less
densely compacted coal stockpiles.
Tires
Many utility companies have established a tire
preference for wheel machines. Normally a radial
tire allows for the maximum tire print in the stock-
pile surface providing the best traction.
Tire pressure may be of equal importance to tire
selection. Tests with hydro-inflated (liquid ballasting)
tires indicate that inflation pressure of approxi-
mately 275 kPa (40 psi) improves machine perfor-
mance over higher inflation pressure. Lower than
275 kPa (40 psi) is not recommended for hydro-
inflated tires. (For more hydro-inflation informa-
tion see the Tire section.)
Other
The 834B’s performance may be improved in the
varying underfoot conditions of a coal stockpile with
the use of a Detroit NoSPIN differential. This dif-
ferential provides added tractive capability on all
coal piles, particularly loose coal.
PRODUCTION FACTORS
1. The effect of grade — dozer production will
increase 3% for each 1% of favorable grade and
decrease 2% for each 1% of adverse grade up to
grades of 10%. The graph below exemplifies this
point.

Both Caterpillar and Balderson weights include blade or scoop only. The change
in machine weight is determined by adding or subtracting the difference between
the Caterpillar and Balderson blade. Counterweight or ballast may also need to
be considered. Effect of Grade on Production
% Grade
As a rule of thumb, track-type tractors can negotiate grades of about 60% in
loose
coal. Wheel tractor dozers can negotiate grades up to 25% on fairly well
com-
pacted
coal.

Production Correction Factors
2. Slot dozing, which consists of dozing repeatedly
in the same tracks, will increase production. The
deeper the slot, the greater the increase in produc-
tion. Obviously this will disrupt the surface of the
pile; however it does provide maximum production.

5. The degree of compaction required — for medium
and high rank bituminous coal, track-type tractors
will normally provide ample compaction to prevent
fires. For low rank coals, such as sub-bituminous
and lignite, rubber tired machines, pneumatic com-
pactors or sealing may be required to prevent fires.
The following table illustrates the compaction that
is possible if the coal is spread in thin lifts and the
machine makes a sufficient number of passes over
the entire lift surface.
3. Relative traction — machines will provide greater-
tractive effort as the compaction beneath them
increases.

Condition: Machine of Traction
Well Compacted Coal Track-type *0.75-0.80
Wheel *0.40-0.50
Loose Coal Track-type *0.60-0.00
Wheel *0.30-0.40
*D11R, D10R, D9R and D8R will often achieve a higher coefficient of traction
due to their suspended undercarriage.
4. Rolling Resistance of rubber tired equipment will
decrease as the compaction of the coal beneath the
machines increases. Here are total rolling resis-
tances on various surfaces.

ESTIMATING HOURLY PRODUCTION
The following graphs may be used for estimating
the hourly production of machines handling mixed
bituminous coal. The graphs are based on 100%
machine efficiency under normal job conditions and
average operator; they do not take into account
adverse grades, downtime, wait time, poor traction,
etc. These production estimates should be evaluated
in light of individual job conditions and efficiency.
Moreover, a job efficiency correction factor should
be applied to the production estimate shown when
using these graphs.
To estimate travel times for a specific machine
refer to the performance graphs or charts in the
appropriate model section of this book.
NOTE: Capacities and production curves on the next
pages are based on bituminous coal with a
density of 890 kg/m3or 1500 lb/yd3or 55 lb/ft3.

Example Problem
A coal-fired utility company has a coal require-
ment of approximately 315 metric tons (350 tons) per
hour. Specify the coal handling machine that will
satisfy this demand.
Conditions:
Lignite Coal 710 kg/m3(1200 lb/yd3)
90 m (300 ft) push distance
5% adverse grade
50 minute hour operation efficiency
Solution:
Calculate the D9R’s production equipped with the
Balderson BD9U-19 Coal U-Blade by using the
D9R production curve. Start at 90 m (300 ft) and
read up to the D9R production line, then over to
the left to determine its maximum hourly produc-
tion of 612 metric tons (675 tons).
Since the graphs are based on a 890 kg/m3
(1500 lb/yd3) coal density, this production figure has
to be adjusted to reflect lignite coal:
Coal density correction factor = 710/890 (1200/
1500) = 0.8.
Obtain the production correction factor for the 5%
adverse grade from the chart: 0.9.
The correction factor for the 50 minute hour is
50/60 = .83.
Now calculate the adjusted D9R hourly produc-
tion using the correction factors:
Metric 612 2 .8 2 .9 2 .83 = 366 tons/hour
English 675 2 .8 2 .9 2 .83 = 403 tons/hour
The D9R falls in the required production range.
For short periods of peak power capacity, produc-
tion could be increased by slot dozing.
Production for the D10R, 824G and 834B can be
calculated using the same method.
D10R
Metric 850 2 .8 2 .9 2 .83 = 508 tons/hour
English 935 2 .8 2 .9 2 .83 = 559 tons/hour
824G
Metric 400 2 .8 2 .9 2 .83 = 239 tons/hour
English 440 2 .8 2 .9 2 .83 = 263 tons/hour
834B
Metric 689 2 .8 2 .9 2 .83 = 412 tons/hour
English 760 2 .8 2 .9 2 .83 = 454 tons/hour
Therefore, the D9R or 834B could most economi-
cally satisfy the production requirements.

Land clearing must be treated more as an art than
a science because production rates and methods vary
greatly from one area to another. This section deals
with the many variables in clearing and includes
methods, equipment and procedures to determine
productivity rates.
VARIABLES AFFECTING CLEARING
OPERATIONS
Vegetative Growth — Factors affecting production
and therefore cost, include the number of trees, size
of trees, wood density, root systems, vines and under-
growth. These factors can be estimated by a “tree-
count” as discussed under “Job Survey.”
End Use of Land — Since different end uses require
different degrees of clearing (i.e. highways, dams,
tree crops, row crops, etc.), this is one of the most
important factors to consider in choosing the proper
clearing method and equipment.
Soil Conditions or Bearing Capacity — Factors
affecting clearing operations include topsoil depth,
soil type, moisture content, and the presence of rocks
and stones.
Topography — Grade and terrain factors such as
steep slopes, ditches, swampy areas, boulders and
even ant hills greatly affect the normal operation of
some equipment.
Rainfall and Climate — Usually all phases of
land clearing from cutting to burning are concerned
to some degree with temperature changes and the
amount of rainfall during the clearing operation.
Job Specifications — Specifications dictate the
degree of clearing to be done, area size, completion
dates, method of debris disposal, soil conservation
and other factors which affect method and equip-
ment selection.

JOB SURVEYS
Knowledge of rainfall and climate, end use of the
land, and job specifications can be obtained from
records, surveys, engineering studies, and written
specifications. You should personally review the
land to be cleared to gain other necessary and valu-
able information.
The survey should include a study of general
topography and soil conditions. Note such problem
factors as hills, rocks, or swamps which would sig-
nificantly affect production or which would require
special treatment.
Cruise the area to be cleared and determine the
acreage of each vegetative type (i.e. upland woods,
low timberlands, swamps). Make at least three tree
counts at random for each vegetation type. To conduct
these counts, randomly locate two points 100 meters
(328 feet) apart. Count and measure vegetative
growth along a straight line between these points
for a width of about 5 meters (16 feet) on both sides.
This gives the population of 1/10 hectare (1/4 acre).
NOTE:
1. Density of vegetation less than 30 cm (12 in)
diameter
Dense — 1480 trees/hectare or more
(600 trees/acre)
Medium — 990-1480 trees/hectare
(400-600 trees/acre)
Light — less than 990 trees/hectare
(400 trees/acre)
2. Presence of hardwoods expressed in percent
3. Presence of heavy vines
4. Average number of trees per hectare (2.47 acres)
in each of the following ground level diameter size
ranges:
Less than 30 cm (1 ft)
31 cm-60 cm (1-2 ft)
61 cm-90 cm (2-3 ft)
91 cm-120 cm (3-4 ft)
121 cm-180 cm (4-6 ft)
5. Sum of diameter of all trees per hectare (2.47 acres)
above 180 cm (6 ft) in diameter at ground level.
CLEARING METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
Methods for Initial Felling — There are several
methods indicating the degree of clearing for initial
felling and several types of equipment for use with
each method. Equipment use in different size vege-
tation and different size areas is summarized in the
table on the next page. This information should serve
only as a rough guideline in selecting equipment.
The economical land area for each type of equipment
will vary with the capital cost of equipment and
moving cost. It is also affected by whether there are
alternate uses for equipment such as using tractors
for other construction work or tillage.
Land Clearing Machines — Job size, severity of
job such as tree size, and time limit to complete will
influence machine selection. Some machines, such
as the D6R, D7R and D8R are more suited for this
type work than others, but imagination and resource-
fulness can allow the use of other types of machines
in specific applications. For example, loaders are
used more today in raking and piling operations than
ever before.
Operator Protection and Machine Guarding
Daily production has been estimated to increase 20%
when cab guards are used. Cabs designed specifi-
cally for clearing are available from Rome and other
auxiliary equipment manufacturers.
The radiator, engine, and underside of the tractor
must be well protected. Perforated hoods, screens,
crankcase guards and hydraulic cylinder guards are
generally recommended.
Generally speaking, lower cost clearing can be done
with larger tractors if the amount of clearing involved
is sufficient to merit the initial investment in the
bigger machine. Because most clearing work requires
frequent direction changes, a power shift transmis-
sion should be standard equipment. The direct drive
transmission tractor is recommended when the trac-
tor is used principally in constant drawbar work
such as chaining or pulling a disc harrow. In most
applications, a winch should also be considered on
one of every three tractors in a fleet.

PRODUCTION ESTIMATING
GENERAL — CONSTANT SPEED OPERATIONS
Production is the hourly clearing rate usually
expressed in hectares or acres.
For many land clearing operations, production is
calculated by multiplying the tractor speed by the
width of cut and converting to hectares or acres per
hour.
Metric system:
The base formula is:
Width of cut (meters) 2
speed (km/h)
______________________ = hectares/h
10
When an efficiency of 82.5% is used, the formula
becomes:
Width of cut (m) 2
speed (km/h) 2 .825
______________________ = hectares/h
10
English measure:
Width of cut (ft) 2speed (mph)
_____________________________ = acres/hr
43,560 (ft2)
The American Society of Agricultural Engineers
formula for estimating hourly production of a con-
stant speed operation is based on 82.5% efficiency.
With this efficiency, the formula becomes:
Width of cut (ft) 2 speed (mph)2 .825
___________________________________ = acres/hr
43,560 (ft2)
Width of cut is the effective working width of the
equipment and may not be the same as its rated
width. Working width should be measured on the
job but can be estimated when necessary.
The actual machine speed can be determined by
measuring the amount of time to travel a given dis-
tance. When using the metric system, the time to
travel 16.7 meters or a multiple thereof, can be con-
verted into kilometers per hour.
1.0
______________________ = speed (km/h)
(Time in min. to travel
16.7 meters)
Since 88 ft/min. equals one mph, the lapsed time
to travel 88 ft, or a multiple of 88 ft, can easily be
converted into miles per hour.
1.0
__________________________ = speed (mph)
(Time in min. to travel 88 ft)
The following nomographs in both the Metric and
English systems convert speed and width of cut
directly into acres or hectares per hour at 82.5% effi-
ciency without the need for calculations.

CUTTING PRODUCTION ESTIMATING
Most land clearing operations such as bulldozing,
cutting, grubbing, raking and piling are not per-
formed at constant speed. Because off-the-job pro-
duction is difficult to estimate for these operations,
Rome Industries has developed formulas for esti-
mating cutting and piling time. These formulas take
into consideration variable prime mover speeds
through a factor, “B”, the base time for each tractor
to cover one hectare (2.47 acres) of light material.
To estimate tractor cutting time per hectare
(2.47 acres) on a specific land clearing job, apply the
factors shown in the following table, together with
data obtained from the job survey, in the formula:
T = X [A(B)+M1N1+M2N2+M3N3+M4N4+DF]
where
T = Time per hectare (2.47 acres) in minutes
X = Hardwood or density factor affecting total
time
A = Density or vine presence factor affecting base
time
B = Base time for each tractor per hectare
(2.47 acres)
M= Minutes per tree in each diameter range
N = Number of trees per hectare (2.47 acres) in
each diameter range obtained from field
survey
D = Sum of diameter in 30 cm (1 ft) increments
of all trees per hectare (2.47 acres) above
180 cm (6 ft) in diameter at ground level
obtained from field survey
F = Minutes per 30 cm (1 ft) of diameter for trees
above 180 cm (6 ft) in diameter.
Hardwoods affect over-all or total time as follows:
75-100% hardwoods: Add 30% to total time (X=1.3)
25-75% hardwoods: No change (X=1.0)
0-25% hardwoods: Subtract 30% from total time
(X=0.7)

shift when applicable) working on reasonably level
terrain (below 10% grade) with good footing, no
stones, average mixture of soft and hard woods.
Tractor is in proper operating condition, blade is

Base Minutes — The base figures represent the
number of minutes required for each tractor to cover
a hectare (2.47 acres) of light material where no
trees require splitting or other individual treatment.
Time required is affected by the density of material
less than 30 cm (1 ft) in diameter and the presence
of vines.
a. dense — 1480 trees/hectare (600 or more trees/
acre): Add 100% to base time (A=2.0)

Thus, to fell a 240 cm (8 ft) diameter tree would
require 821.8 or approximately 14.4 minutes with
a D8R.

Where the job requires grubbing trees and stumps
greater than 30 cm (1 ft) in diameter at the same
time the trees are sheared, use the same basic pro-
cedure as defined above including the variables for
the presence of hardwoods. After time per hectare
(acre) in minutes has been determined, increase the
over-all or total time by 25%.
Where the job requires re-entering the area (after
all trees have been sheared) to remove stumps with
a tilted shearing blade or stumper, increase the total
time by 50%.
PILING PRODUCTION ESTIMATING
A procedure has also been developed for estimat-
ing piling production for a tractor equipped with a
K/G blade or rake.
To estimate tractor hours per hectare (acre) on a
specific land clearing job, apply the factors shown
in the following table with data obtained from the
job survey, in the formula:
T = B+M1N1+M2N2+M3N3+M4N4+DF
where
T = Time per hectare (2.47 acre) in minutes.
B = Base time for each tractor per hectare
(2.47 acre).
M= Minutes per tree in each diameter range.
N = Number of trees per hectare (2.47 acre) in
each diameter range obtained from field
cruise.
D = Sum of diameter in 30 cm (1 ft) increments
of all trees per hectare (2.47 acre) above
180 cm (6 ft) in diameter at ground level
obtained from field cruise.
F = Minutes per 30 cm (1 ft) of diameter for trees
above 180 cm (6 ft) in diameter.

mixture of soft and hard woods. The tractor is in
proper operating condition. Decrease total time by
25-50% depending on the number and size of trees
when using three or more tractors in combination.

For Dia. above 180 cm (6 ft) — The figures in this
column represent for each tractor size the number
of minutes required per 30 cm (1 ft) of diameter to
pile trees above 180 cm (6 ft) in diameter. Thus, to
pile a 240 cm (8 ft) diameter tree would require
820.9 or approximately 7.2 minutes with a D8L
tractor.
Where the job requires piling of grubbed trees and
stumps greater than 30 cm (1 ft) in diameter, use
the same basic procedure defined above and then
increase over-all or total time by 25%.
In dense small diameter brush with few or no
large trees, or when cutting is vine entangled, reduce
the base time by 30%.

To find the number of machines required for each
operation, use the formula:
Hr/hectare (acre) 2number of hectares (acres) =

*Average machine production for all operation in hr/hectare (acre).
To cost estimate each method or phase of opera-
tion, use this calculation:
Owning and Operating cost/hr 2hr/hectare (acre)
2 number of hectares (acres) = cost
Because of the many variables that increase or
decrease production, these formulas should be con-
sidered only as guidelines in arriving at a rough pro-
duction estimate. This estimate should be tempered
by personal judgment based on past experience and
personal knowledge of the area.

INTRODUCTION
An increasing volume of refuse is generated by
every person, commercial entity and household day
after day ... 365 days a year. Disposal of this waste
is a major problem worldwide. Increased govern-
mental legislation designed to protect the environ-
ment and rising transportation and land acquisition
costs have made waste disposal a significant user
of earthmoving and specialty mobile equipment.
The most commonly accepted disposal method is
burying refuse in a sanitary landfill. A sanitary
landfill protects the environment by disposing solid
waste on land in an engineered cell. Building a cell
involves spreading the waste in thin layers, compact-
ing it to the smallest practical volume, covering it
with soil by the end of each working day, and com-
pacting the cover material. Proper equipment selec-
tion and operating technique can maximize refuse
and cover compaction and extend the operational
landfill life.
LANDFILL METHODS
There are three basic landfill methods:
In the area method, waste is usually deposited at
the toe of the previously compacted cell and then
spread and compacted. This method is attractive for
landfills receiving over 450 metric tons (500 tons)
of refuse per day because it reduces truck unloading
congestion. Cover material is normally handled by
wheel tractor-scrapers from nearby borrow sites.
The trench method is normally found at smaller
landfills where the ground water table is deep. A
trench is excavated and refuse is deposited and com-
pacted within it. Excavated material becomes the
cover material. Since the trench working face is
narrow, truck congestion can occur. This method is
usually attractive to landfills receiving under
450 metric tons (500 tons) of refuse per day.
27
WASTE DISPOSAL
The ramp method combines the characteristics of
both area and trench designs. Refuse is dumped,
spread and compacted on existing slopes and covered
with material excavated directly in front of the work-
ing face. The excavated area becomes part of the next
cell. This is a good way for a landfill to begin opera-
tion with a minimum of equipment expenditures.
EQUIPMENT SELECTION
A landfill’s largest single cost for daily operation
is purchasing, operating and maintaining the mobile
equipment. Undersized, inadequate or unreliable
equipment results in breakdowns, higher operating
costs and improper landfill operation.
Landfill equipment performs three distinct
functions:
1. Waste handling and compaction equipment dis-
pose of the waste. Track-type tractors, track
loaders, and steel-wheeled landfill compactors
are the primary machines.
2. Cover material handling machines provide daily
cover requirements. If supplying cover material
is a machine’s sole function at a landfill, it can
be selected on the basis of normal earthmoving
considerations, such as material characteristics,
distance to borrow areas, volume to be trans-
ported, and other basic earthmoving principles,
i.e., maximizing earth movement in the least
amount of time at the lowest cost per yard.
3. Support equipment includes motor graders,
hydraulic excavators, water trucks, air compres-
sors, service vehicles, water pumps, generators
and any other necessary equipment.
Track-Type Tractors
The track-type tractor is the most popular and ver-
satile machine on a sanitary landfill. They not only
spread and compact refuse and cover material, they
also prepare the site, rip cover material, build haul
roads, knock down trees, remove stumps, and work
in virtually all weather conditions. They are well-
suited for all three landfill methods (area, ramp, and
trench).
The crawler tractor can achieve compaction den-
sities of 475 to 590 kg/m3(800-1000 lb/yd3). Maxi-
mum compaction is achieved when it works on a 3:1
slope, permitting the grousers to rip and tear while
pushing and compacting waste up-slope. Economic
limit of cover or waste movement by a track-type
tractor is normally under 90 m (300 ft).
Track Loaders
Track loaders are highly versatile allowing them
to perform many applications. Small landfills under
135 metric tons (150 tons) per day generally utilize
a minimum amount of equipment. Track loaders can
serve both the waste handling and cover material
functions.
The track loader is an ideal machine for the trench
method. Since the bucket does not extend outside
the tracks, it can obtain full compaction to the trench
walls. Rippers can be attached to handle frozen cover
material. Compaction densities are similar to or
slightly higher than the track-type tractor — 475 to
590 kg/m3(800-1000 lb/yd3). Many people believe
track loaders equipped with single grouser shoes
provide maximum demolition and compaction den-
sities. Loading the bucket during compaction passes
increases weight helping achieve higher densities.
Equipping track loaders with multi-purpose buck-
ets increases their versatility in single machine
applications, allowing the operator to selectively
grapple items out of the working face.
Track loaders are also ideal for transfer stations.
The machine’s weight compacts the trash reducing
volume and increases density. Wider and larger
capacity buckets from Balderson Special Attach-
ments are needed to fully utilize the capabilities of
the track loader in this application.
Landfill Compactors (Steel-Wheeled)
Landfill compactors are specialized pieces of equip-
ment effective in spreading and compacting large
volumes of waste. Compactors offer higher opera-
tional speeds than track machines. This is the rec-
ommended machine if more than one spreading and
compaction machine is needed and waste does not
have to be pushed more than 90 m (300 ft).
Landfill compactors over 20 410 kg (45,000 lb) oper-
ating weight achieve the highest compaction levels
— from 710 to 950 kg/m3(1200-1600 lb/yd3).
Landfill compactors normally operate on slopes no
steeper than 4:1 due to reduced compaction and oper-
ational safety. Compactors should not be used to
excavate cover material.

Wheel Loaders
Although not recommended as a waste handling
and compaction machine, wheel loaders are used by
those communities sharing a single machine which
travels from landfill to landfill. Versatility and
mobility are the primary wheel loader advantages.
In landfills over 272 metric tons (300 tons) per day,
wheel loaders will sometimes be used to perform
general clean-up tasks. Wheel loaders are also pop-
ular in transfer stations to load and separate refuse.
Special foam-filled tires should be considered due
to the constant threat of tire puncture. However,
foam filled tires will have reduced ton-mile-per hour
capabilities.
Wheel loaders can achieve compaction densities of
530 to 650 kg/m3(900-1100 lb/yd3). A disadvantage
of wheel loaders is that they can leave ruts in the
refuse, requiring extra cover material.
Wheel Tractor-Scrapers
A scraper can be used to excavate trenches for site
preparation, but usually performs a cover operation
at a landfill and is most economical at distances over
185 m (600 ft). A scraper should be selected as if it
were performing a typical earthmoving job.
Preferably, the scraper unloads the cover mate-
rial close to the working face, either at the base or top.
The cover material is then spread by the machine(s)
working on the refuse. This reduces the possibility
of tire damage from driving over the refuse. Foam
filled tires are not recommended for scrapers due to
the high travel speeds. Since excavating and trans-
porting cover material is a major expense at a land-
fill, scrapers with work alone capability have been
the most popular.
Machine Selection Factors
Selecting the type, size, quantity, and combination
of machines required to spread, compact, and cover
varying daily refuse volumes is determined by the
following parameters:
1. Amount and type of waste to be handled (daily
tonnage)
2. Amount and type of soil cover to be handled
3. Distance cover material to be transported
4. Weather conditions
5. Compaction requirements
6. Landfill method utilized
7. Supplemental tasks
8. Budget
9. Growth
A. Daily tonnage and type of waste — Amount of
waste produced by a community is the major vari-
able in selecting the appropriate size machine.
The chart serves as a guideline in sizing a land-
fill machine. For example, if a community gener-
ates approximately 180 metric tons (200 tons) of
refuse per day, a D6 or 963 and a 816 Landfill
Compactor should be considered.

NOTE: Daily tonnage figures are based on 2.26 kg (5 lb) of residential refuse per
person per day.The amount of waste/person/day can vary depending on
the community and should be adjusted to the individual community.
Type of waste to be handled will strongly influence
machine selection. The major solid waste compo-
nents for a community should be identified and the
proper machine chosen based on the type of waste
and the compaction desired. For example, if the site
receives a high proportion of noncompactible heavy
industrial waste (rocks, bricks, concrete, reinforcing
rod, etc.) a compactor might not achieve normal
compaction densities and the pushing and tractive
ability of a track-type tractor may be needed. How-
ever, a small track-type tractor has more difficulty
compacting bulk waste such as washing machines
and telephone poles than a landfill compactor.

NOTE: Moisture content can have a significant effect on weight characteristics.
Field tests have indicated moisture content can vary from 10-80% during
dry and wet seasons.
B. Amount and type of cover material to be handled
Although landfill size and type will vary, a rule
of thumb for estimating needed cover material
is one cubic meter (cubic yard) of cover material
for every four cubic meters (or cubic yards) of in-
place compacted waste. That is, about 20-25% of
a sanitary landfill’s volume consists of soil used
for cover (including daily and final covering). On
smaller landfills, the percentage of soil could
be as high as 50% to meet reasonable cover
requirements.
It is important to remember that cover mate-
rial also occupies landfill space reducing the vol-
ume available for refuse. For example a landfill
with 1 900 000 m3(2,500,000 yd3) of total volume
would provide for disposing of 1 520 000 m3
(2,000,000 yd3) of refuse and allow 380 000 m3
(500,000 yd3) of cover material. This example con-
siders one cubic yard of cover for every 4 cubic
yards of in place compacted waste.
The type of cover material can also be impor-
tant. If the material is sandy or highly abrasive,
a rubber tired wheel loader or scraper might be
considered rather than a track-type unit.
C. Distance cover material is to be transported will
have a large effect on cover equipment selection.
The following economic limits or guidelines are
recommended for cover material movement. The
quantity of material to be moved and the time
available must be considered when using these
guidelines.
Track-type tractor 0-90 m (0-300 ft)
Track loader 0-152 m (0-500 ft)
Wheel loader 0-185 m (0-600 ft)
Wheel tractor-scraper over 185 m (over 600 ft)
D. Weather conditions — when working in inclem-
ent weather, the tractive capability of a track-
type machine may be necessary for poor underfoot
conditions or to rip frozen cover material.
E. Compaction requirements — are becoming criti-
cal as extended landfill life is sought. If high
density is desired, then a compactor may be
necessary.
REFUSE DENSITIES
Generally, loose residential and commerical refuse
weighs 150-180 kg/m3(250-300 lb/yd3). A refuse col-
lection vehicle will increase this density to 237-415
kg/m3(400-700 lb/yd3). In-place landfill density can
vary from 355-890 kg/m3(600-1500 lb/yd3), depend-
ing on the compactive effort applied to the refuse.
Landfill sites that accept a high percentage of demo-
lition waste can have densities up to 1485 kg/m3
(2500 lb/yd3). Cover material will generally raise fill
densities 60-120 kg/m3(100-200 lb/yd3) over the fig-
ures given above.

Waste Disposal Machine Selection Factors
Refuse Densities
FACTORS GOVERNING COMPACTION
Assuming equal machine weight, regardless of
the type of machine, the following factors (1-4) affect
compaction:
1. Refuse Layer Thickness — The depth of each com-
pacted layer is perhaps the single most important
controllable factor influencing density. To obtain
maximum density, waste should be spread and
compacted in layers not exceeding a depth of
610 mm (2 ft). Thicker layers will reduce the
density that a machine can develop in a given
number of passes. (Density figures shown do not
include cover material.)
2. Number of passes made over the refuse also
affects density. Regardless of the type of machine
used, the unit should make 3-4 passes to achieve
optimum density. The following graph illustrates
that more than four passes result in little addi-
tional compactive effort. The added expense of
additional passes is not justified by the incremen-
tal increase in density.
3. Slope — Maximum compactive effort by a track-
type unit is achieved by working the waste on a
slope of 3:1. Track-type machines achieve higher
densities by grinding and shredding the refuse
into smaller pieces as they climb a slope.
Just the opposite is true for the landfill com-
pactor. The flatter the slope, the better the com-
paction. This is because the weight of the landfill
compactor is more efficiently utilized and concen-
trated when working on a flat surface.
4. Moisture Content — has been shown to have a
significant effect on compacted density. It is
believed that water tends to weaken the bridg-
ing characteristics of refuse, particularly paper
such as large pieces of cardboard, etc., thereby
allowing tighter consolidation. The water may
also act as a lubricant — much as it does for soils.
A minimum amount of moisture can increase
refuse compaction density by 10%.
The optimum moisture content for maximum
compaction of household refuse appears to be
around 50% by weight. Field tests show actual
moisture contents varying from 10-80% during
dry and wet seasons. Although higher moisture
content can provide higher in-place densities, the
chance of leachate formation also increases.

All models are pushing refuse 61 m (200 ft) spreading and making 3 to 4 passes
to compact. A pass is defined as a machine traveling over refuse one time in one
direction.
F. Landfill method utilized — impacts the equip-
ment needed. The area method, which is gener-
ally suited for flat or gradual sloping surfaces will
get maximum compaction effort with a compactor.
The trench method may require a track loader
due to its excavating and tractive capabilities.
G. Supplemental tasks — should be reviewed before
selecting a landfill machine. Will the machine be
required for site clearing, maintaining access
roads, excavating, etc.? Auxiliary duties may
require additional machine capability and/or attach-
ments. If versatility is the key consideration, a track-
type machine again becomes the logical choice.
H. Budget — Smaller landfill operations with lim-
ited budgets may have to consider single machine
versatility ahead of specialized machines or mul-
tiple units.
I. Growth — Future increases in refuse volume
must be considered to properly size machines.

What would your comments and recommendations
be on the following:
a. What range of in-place densities could be expected
using a track-type tractor; a Cat steel-wheeled
landfill compactor?
b. What effect does machine selection have on site

e. How many machines should be used on the site?
f. What type should they be?
g. What size should they be?
Solution
a. The Track-Type Tractor will achieve 475 to
595 kg/m3(800 to 1,000 lb/yd3) in-place density.
The Cat steel-wheeled landfill compactor will
achieve 595 to 830 kg/m3(1,000 to 1,400 lb/yd3)

will provide 13.5 landfill life years at 595 kg/m3
(1,000 lb/yd3). Compaction will extend that life

In the agricultural mercantile exchange, the Bushel is widely used for grains as
weight. For the above weights, the market assumes a standard density for each
type of grain.

Negotiating curves can generate high lateral tire
forces. These forces contribute to high tire wear and
ply separation. Superelevating the curve helps elim-
inate these forces. The amount of superelevation
depends on the curve’s radius and the speed at
which it is negotiated.
The following table is a guide for providing the
superelevation necessary to eliminate lateral forces.
Superelevated turns present a danger when slip-
pery. For this reason, curves superelevated over 10%
should be used with caution. Unless the proper
speed is maintained, matching the elevation of the
curve, a vehicle may slide off of the lower edge of
the roadway. Superelevated curves should be main-
tained in good tractive conditions.
MAXIMUM SPEED ON CURVES FOR VARIOUS SUPERELEVATION GRADES
WITH A 0.20 LATERAL COEFFICIENT OF TRACTION
Another approach to superelevated curves is to
determine the safe speed for negotiating a turn at
a certain lateral tire force. In general, a 20% lateral
coefficient of traction is safe for all but slippery con-
ditions. The following table shows maximum speed
with various superelevations to maintain a 0.20 lat-
eral coefficient of traction.
