TRUCKS CLASSIFICATIONTRUCKS CLASSIFICATION

Trucks may be classified according to a number of factors including:

1. The size and type of engine-gasoline, diesel, butane, propane

2. The number of gears.3. The kind of drive-two-wheel, four-

wheel, six-wheel, etc.

CAPACITY OF DUMP CAPACITY OF DUMP TRUCKSTRUCKS

There are three methods of There are three methods of expressing the capacities of expressing the capacities of trucks and wagons:trucks and wagons:

1) by the load which it will carry, expressed gravimetrically in tons.

2) by its struck volume (cu yd).3) by its heaped volume (cu yd).

USING SMALL TRUCKS COMPARED USING SMALL TRUCKS COMPARED WITH LARGE TRUCKSWITH LARGE TRUCKS

Advantages:Advantages:1) They are more flexible in

maneuvering, which may be an advantage on short hauls.

2) They may have higher speeds.3) There is less loss in production when

one truck in a fleet breaks down.4) It is easier to balance the number of

trucks with the output of the excavator, which will reduce the time lost by the trucks or the excavator.

CHAPTER 10. TRUCKS AND HAULING EQUIPMENTENCE 420 ©Assakkaf

Slide No. 39

USING SMALL TRUCKS COMPARED USING SMALL TRUCKS COMPARED WITH LARGE TRUCKSWITH LARGE TRUCKS

Disadvantages:Disadvantages:1) A small truck is more difficult for the excavator to

load owing to the small target for depositing the bucket load.

2) More total spotting time is lost in positioning the trucks because of the larger number required.

3) More drivers are required to haul a given output of material.

4) The greater number of trucks increases the danger of units bunching at the pit, along the haul road, or at the dump,

5) The greater number of trucks required may increase the total investment in hauling equipment, with more expensive maintenance and repairs, and more parts to stock.

USING LARGE TRUCKS COMPARED USING LARGE TRUCKS COMPARED WITH SMALL TRUCKSWITH SMALL TRUCKS

Advantages:Advantages:1) Fewer trucks are required, which may reduce the

total investment in hauling units and the cost of maintenance and repairs.

2) Fewer drivers are required.3) The smaller number of trucks facilitates

synchronizing the equipment and reduces the danger of bunching by the trucks. This is especially true for long hauls.

4) There are fewer trucks to maintain and repair and fewer parts to stock.

5) The engines ordinarily use cheaper fuels, i.e., gasoline versus diesel. but this must be based on fuel prices at the specific project location.

USING LARGE TRUCKS COMPARED USING LARGE TRUCKS COMPARED WITH SMALL TRUCKSWITH SMALL TRUCKS

Disadvantages:Disadvantages:1) The cost of truck time at loading is greater,

especially with small excavators.2) The heavier loads may cause more damage

to the haul roads thus increasing the cost of mechanical maintenance to the trucks and requiring more support equipment for maintenance of the haul road.

3) It is more difficult to balance the number of trucks with the output of the excavator.

4) Repair parts may be more difficult to obtain.5) The largest sizes may not be permitted to

haul on highways.

STEP 4 RETURN TIME

• Grade resistance load to dump 1.25%

Total Resistance = 4.25 + 1.25%= 5.5% or 110 lb/ton

Rimpull = 110 lb/ton X 18.43 ton= 2,030 lb

•• Poorly Maintained Earth Haul RoadRolling resistance, 4.25%
