Wheel-Loader / Excavator Bucket Production Rate
Loose-yards-per-hour a wheel loader or excavator digs and dumps from the rated bucket capacity, fill factor, and cycle time, plus the daily output - the load-side production the haul-cycle fleet match assumes.
Formula and source
bucket_payload = bucket_cap x fill_factor; cycles_per_hour = working_min / cycle; production = bucket_payload x cycles_per_hour; daily = production x hours.
Caterpillar Performance Handbook cycle-time production-estimating method by name (production = payload x cycles per hour); first-principles cycle arithmetic.
