350D LC Excavator Production Estimating Program

ESTIMATING PURPOSES ONLY

Program calculates hourly production to load dump trucks, trenching, charge hoppers, etc.
Production is continuous except for excavator repositioning (no wait time for dump trucks).
Place cursor on red triangles for explanation. Swing cycle times are based on proper  
matching of arm, bucket, and material.  
  Use Tab Key  
Material Density (lbs. per loose cubic yard)    
Or Material Density (lbs. per bank cubic yard)    
If bank cubic yards, enter load factor (See above)    
Excavator Bucket Size (heaped c.y.)    
Bucket Fill Factor (See above)    
Average Horizontal Distance from Load Point to Discharge (ft.)  
Average Vertical Distance from Load Point to Discharge (ft.)  
If excavating from a trench, what is the average depth?  
feet of total vertical lift, how many are in the trench?]
