Haul Truck Cycle & Productivity

Determine hourly fleet haulage tonnage based on excavator bucket passes, haul distance, speed, and dump cycle time.

💡 Engineering Knowledge PrimerHaul truck fleet productivity calculates hourly material transport rate based on truck payload, travel time, and fixed spot/dump times. Balancing excavator loading rate with truck haulage cycles minimizes fleet queueing delays.
OPERATING LIMITS — Fleet-productivity calculation only; include queues, grades, delays and utilisation in project planning.

Technical Methodology & Engineering Principles

GOVERNING EQUATION
Travel Time = (Distance × 2 / Speed) × 60 Cycle Time = Travel Time + Spot & Dump Time Productivity = Payload × (60 / Cycle Time)
Assumptions & Scope

100% operating efficiency factor without queueing delay.

Operating Range & Boundary

Use finite, physically meaningful inputs within the stated operating assumptions.
