BUCKET CAPACITY
Bucket payload can
be measured by
volume or weight
Volume is typically
stated as struck
measure of loose
volume meaning
that the material
excess is scraped off
flush with the top of
the bucket.
Heaped at a specific
angle of repose
BUCKET PAYLOAD
An excavator’s bucket payload (actual amount of
material in the bucket on each digging cycle) is
dependent on bucket size, shape, and certain
soil characteristics, i.e., the fill factor for that
soil. Fill factors for several types of material are
listed below.
Average Bucket Payload = (Heaped Bucket
Capacity) x (Bucket Fill Factor)
