🚜 Earthmoving & Hauling · Hourly Production

Heavy Equipment Productivity Calculator

Pick a machine, enter its cycle and capacity, and get the hourly production — with the worked formula, secondary outputs (capacity to match a loader, operation time, area/hour), a volume-basis note (BCM / LCM / CCM with swell), and a cycle-time chart.

Hydraulic excavator / shovel. Production Q = (3600/Cm)·q·K·E in loose m³ (LCM) per hour.

Heaped bucket q (m³)

Bucket fill factor K

Cycle time Cm (s)

Job efficiency E

Swell % opt. → BCM

Wheel loader. Q = (3600/Cm)·q·K·E (LCM/h). Cm = load + travel + dump + return; enter it directly or build it below.

Heaped bucket q (m³)

Cycle time Cm (s) — or build ↓

Load time (s)

Travel time (s)

Dump time (s)

Return time (s)

Swell % opt. → BCM

Dozing. Q = (60·q·E)/Cm (LCM/h). Enter the blade load q directly, or compute it from blade size q = L·H²·a. Cm (min) = D/F + D/R + t_fixed.

Blade load q (m³) — or build ↓

Job efficiency E

Blade length L (m)

Blade height H (m)

Blade load factor a

Push distance D (m)

Forward speed F (m/min)

Reverse speed R (m/min)

Fixed time t_fixed (min)

Grade factor opt.

Operator factor opt.

Swell % opt. → BCM

Scraper. Q = (60·q·E)/Cm (LCM/h). Cm (min) = load + haul + dump + return + turn. Build the haul/return from distance ÷ speed, or enter Cm directly.

Heaped bowl q (m³)

Job efficiency E

Cycle time Cm (min) — or build ↓

Load time (min)

Dump time (min)

Turn/accel time (min)

Haul distance (m)

Haul speed (m/min)

Return distance (m)

Return speed (m/min)

Swell % opt. → BCM

Hauling. Q = (60·q·E)/Cm (m³/h). Cm (min) = load + haul + dump + return + spot + wait. Also sizes a truck fleet to match a loader: N = ⌈Cm / T_load⌉.

Payload volume q (LCM)

Job efficiency E

Cycle time Cm (min) — or build ↓

Load time (min)

Haul time (min)

Dump time (min)

Return time (min)

Spot time (min)

Wait time (min)

Loader truck-load time T_load (min) opt. → fleet

Swell % opt. → BCM

Grading. Area rate A = (V·1000·L_e·E)/N (m²/h); operation time T = (N·D)/(V·E) (h) for a road length D.

Speed V (km/h)

Effective blade width per pass L_e (m)

Number of passes N

Job efficiency E

Road length D (km) opt. → time

Compaction. Compacted production P = (W·S·1000·L·E)/N (CCM/h); area rate = (W·S·1000·E)/N (m²/h).

Roller width W (m)

Speed S (km/h)

Compacted lift L (m)

Number of passes N

Job efficiency E

📋 Typical values (editable) — cycle times, fill & load factors, efficiency, speeds, passes

Bucket fill factor K (loose common earth)

Excavator cycle Cm (s)

Wheel loader cycle Cm (s)

Dozer blade load factor a

Dozer speed F / R (m/min)

Job efficiency E (50-min hour ≈ 0.83)

Grader speed V (km/h)

Grader / compactor passes N

Compactor speed S (km/h)

Swell of common earth (%)

Load factor LF = 1/(1 + swell). BCM (bank) = LCM (loose) × LF. CCM (compacted) depends on the soil's shrinkage and is what the compactor output reports directly.
