What is a bucket fill factor and why is it important?
Think about how different materials affect loading.
Define static tipping load.
Relate it to the machine's stability.
What does the bucket fill factor adjust for?
Think about how the material interacts with the bucket.
True or False: The static tipping load is the operational weight limit for loaders.
Consider what happens when too much weight is in the loader.
Calculate the maximum weight you can load into a bucket with a static tipping load of 10,000 kg and a safety factor of 50%.
Consider the proportion allowed by the safety factor.
You have a loader with a bucket rated at 4 m³ and a fill factor of 75%. If the material has a density of 2000 kg/m³, what is the total weight you can load?
Use the bucket volume, fill factor, and density to find the weight.
