As a result, iti difficult to arrive at defii- tive costs per ton related to the truck-team production ‘Therefore, the objective of this section is to provide @ basis for estimating hourly costs of equipment, which then can be used to establish an estimated cost per t0n. "rable 4 is included as a suggested method of esti- mating the hourly costs for purposes of comparison. ‘The form, together with the accompanying text and bles nercin, provides a sample estimate of the owning tnd operating costs for a 22.7-t (25-st) capacity truck, ‘The methods proposed, figures listed, and formulas used dre for comparative estimating purposes only, and the ‘TeSultant cost estimates may not be achieved in an actual Production situation. This estimate uses 1978, values Pid the following paragraphs describe each of the Tines ‘onthe form of Table 4. Vehicle Costs and Adjustments ‘Section I of Table 4 provides space to enter infor- imation pertinent to the ‘acquisition costs and adjust ents for the vehiele, Line 1 provides space to enter both the factory list price and, if different, the actual Sling price. ‘The list price is used to calculate the Tepair costs, while the selling price is used to ealeulate Tekh the investment and the depreciation. Lines 2, 3. tnd 5 are self-explanatory, and Tine 4 reflects the tire ‘Costs that are established according to Tocal sources and that reflect the actual costs to the mine or the company. Owning Costs ‘Section II of Table 4 shows the calculation of invest~ rent costs, depreciation values, interest on borrowed of Invested eapital, and the insurance and tax costs. In theory, these costs are charged against the unit produc- tivity to build capital reserve with which to replace the dnit when it becomes unserviceable.

Tine 6 calculates the muimber of hours per year that the vehicle is expected t0 operate. Line 7 establishes the number of years bs8d as the depreciable life of the Mhisle by dividing the total useful hours expected Tetore it Becomes unserviceable by the number of hours worked per year (from line 6). ‘Table 5 ists some Miggested deprecation hours as they relate to the job ceebitions, but experience may indicate the necessity SPimerpolating from these figures.

Insurance refers to the costs of protecting the vehicle from damage or {oss due to accidents, fire, etc. Taxes refer to the on fing taxes on property, use, cfc, All of these, costs Should be available readily in a given place and at 2 fgven time, and they should be applied appropriately. Fnthe sample of Table 4, a total of 12% has been ‘entered as 0.12 Line 9 calculates the hourly depreciation costs, using the net value of line 5 divided by the Cota useful hous from Table 4 (and entered in fine 7), Line 10 is selfexplanstory. Operating Costs ‘Section IIT of Table 4 lists the items that are clas fied as operating costs of the truck, including the costs {o operate, maintain, and repair the vehicle over its ‘xpected economical life. There can be a wide variance fathese costs from mine to mine and from area (0 af Usually gelated to the job conditions, differences in on- Be casts of consumables and labor, ete, Where pos bes these variable costs should be identifed and con “dered in the estimating process. ‘Tine 11 emizes the fuel consumption, based on the specifications for the vehicle's engine. In Table 4, the BReximum fuck injection rate of 120 1b per hr (0.015 els) was used for a Deutz FI2L-13W engine, 2s ‘Slowed. by ‘egulations of the MSHA.

Using a fuck weight of 7.25 Th per gal (0.869 ke/L), this was converted to 8.3 gal (1.4 1). Line 12 incorporates the costs of preventive main tenance, usually estimated as a percentage of the fuel Consumption and costs (on the theory that fuel cons Simption reflects unit eapacity, engine size, power, and ine working eyele), Preventive maintenance costs are then proportionate, with 259% of the fuel costs used in this example.

A truck working on long steep ramps with poorly maintained roadbeds would be expected to require more repairs than a truck working on level and good roadways, Experience indicates that a value of {60% is attainable under excellent job conditions, with 70% to 80% applicable to average job conditions and up to 100% required under severe job conditions ine 14 ssflcts tire. costa where. mo recapping ie available or where the cost dilferential between new tires and recaps is insufficient to justify the use of recaps. ‘The tire life is adversely affected by poor roat way maintenance, spillage of large rocks, incorrect tire inflation, and excessive overloading of the vehicle. ‘The 1110 constant in the formula reflets life added to that interpolated from Table 7, attributable to running the tire to destruction, rather than saving a portion of the tread for recapping, Line 14(2) provides space for computing tire costs where recaps are used. The formula is: C= (CoH (CX MY (Hig +H, Xd) where C; is the total tire cost, C, is the cost of new tires, C, is the cost of recap tres, H, is the number of operating hours for a new tire, H,"is the number of ‘operating hours for a recapped ‘ire, and n is the num- ber of recaps. “There is & wide variation in the number of times that a tire carcass can be recapped successfully. Reports of tp to six recaps are not unusual, but the average is about three recaps per casing. Damage to the carcass from job-related catses, underinflation, overloading, and fail. ‘ng to retain suficient tread will reduce the number of Table 7.

Where these values can be estab- lished, they can be incorporated into the estimating formula in the space provided for recap operating hours. For the estimate herein, the new tire total cost per vehicle is $6200 (line 4), the recap cost at 60% of the ‘new cost is $3720, the number of recaps is 4, the new- lie Ife ts 4000 he, and the recap tire hfe 18 4000 hr.
