PRODUCTION ESTIMATING
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 production range.

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 consumed.
Common units are cubic meters or tonnes per liter of
fuel (cubic yards or tons/gal). Determining fuel effi-
ciency requires measuring both fuel consumption and
production.
Measuring fuel consumption involves tapping into
the vehicle’s fuel supply system — without contami-
nating the fuel. The amount of fuel consumed during
operation is then measured on a weight or volumetric basis
and correlated with the amount of work the machine
has done. Cat machines equipped with VIMS™ system
can record fuel consumed with relative accuracy, given
the engine is performing close to specifications.
