Ex 2.6 - Loader Production A contractor has been awarded a contract to move 10,000 cubic meters of wet sand ( 3mm minus) from a stockpile conveyor piled to 6 meters in height. The material will be loaded into tandem axle dump trucks which are independently owned; you can hire as many trucks as you need through the local trucking association to allow for a continuous operation. Your company leases a Cat 950 loader. The haul route is 12kms one-way. Your driver claims an average speed of 38km/hr loaded and 45km/hr empty. You anticipate it taking 2.5 minutes to dump the load. The material must be moved in four 12 hour days. Refer to the Equipment Rates for machine and truck rates. a) Will the trucks' weight capacity or physical volume limitations dictate the trucks' volume capacity? b) How many trucks will be required to maintain the constant operation? c) How much is it going to cost to move this material? d) Can the schedule be achieved?
