Equipment Productivity Rates: Unleashing the Potential

Understanding the productivity rates of earthmoving equipment is pivotal for construction
success. Here, we delve into specific examples of productivity rates for selected equipment:

1. BULLDOZERS Productivity Rate: Earthmoving Powerhouses

• Bulldozer Productivity Rate m3/hour:

o Excavating & hauling in pile by 75 HP dozer, 15m haul, sand & gravel: 43.5 m3/hour.
o Excavating & hauling in pile by 75 HP dozer, 15m haul, common earth: 38.4 m3/hour.
o Excavating & hauling in pile by 75 HP dozer, 15m haul, clay earth: 27 m3/hour.
o Scaling productivity for different HP dozers enhances efficiency.

2. FRONT-END LOADERS Productivity Rate: Handling with Precision

• Loader Productivity Rate m3/hour:

o Mixing planting soil (loam, manure, peat) with skid steer loader: 27.7 m3/hour.

3. MOTOR GRADERS Productivity Rate: Crafting Surface Excellence

• Motor Grader Productivity Rate m3/hour:

o Cold-laid asphalt pavement (100 mm coarse blade): 47.6 m3/hour.
o Cold-laid asphalt pavement (100 mm coarse plant): 35.7 m3/hour.

4. TRUCKS (Dumper Trucks) Productivity Rate: Hauling Efficiency

• Trucks play a pivotal role in material transport, varying in size and capacity.

5. EXCAVATORS Productivity Rate: Digging into Efficiency

• Excavator Productivity Rate m3/hour:

o Small Excavators (1 to 5 tons): 10 to 20 m3/hour.
o Medium Excavators (6 to 10 tons): 20 to 40 m3/hour.
o Large Excavators (11 to 50 tons): 40 to 100 m3/hour.
o Heavy-Duty Excavators (Over 50 tons): 100 m3/hour.

Please note that these rates are approximate and influenced by factors such as material type,
operator expertise, site conditions, and equipment modifications.
