Scraper Mode: CAT 631K
Rolling Resistance: 80 lb/ton or 4%
Unit Weight of Material(Clay): 3000 lb/bcy
Considering the haul distance of 4000 ft, the total time
for the haul and return combined on a well-maintained
haul road was 5.20 min. Under poor conditions, this
could be as high as 7.55 min. A difference of 2.35 min in
cycle time is a 4.7% production loss in a 50 min-hour.

Expected Load: 96% of Heaped Capacity

Efficiency: 50 min-hour
