Grading Productivity — Cycle Time (7338)
Define the finished purpose, reference levels, underlying material condition and the evidence required by the receiving operation. Geometry alone does not establish structural or agronomic performance.
This reference assembles relevant extracts from the guide library. It is general project planning, not a local project report, verified specification or translated technical publication.
Capacity and Productivity Calculator
Capacity and productivity answer different questions. Nominal bowl capacity describes a planning load; production depends on load factor, cycle time, soil condition and the volume state being measured.
Before moving material
Identify capacity, realistic load factor and a complete cycle.
Receiving operation and checks
Use the estimate for planning and revise it from observations. Record whether the result is loose, bank or compacted volume.
The calculator produces an operating estimate, not a Dugong performance guarantee.

A haul-cycle estimate combines loaded travel, empty return, loading, placement and other routine time. Short travel legs do not eliminate loading and turning time.
Before moving material
Measure each route and choose realistic operating assumptions.
Receiving operation and checks
Compare estimated loose moved volume with a timed trial. Record interruptions and use a realistic load factor.
Changing travel speed in a calculator does not establish a safe operating speed.
