(Line Item 4)
Many owners charge interest as part of hourly
owning and operating costs, others consider it as
general overhead in their overall operation. When
charged to specific machines, interest is usually
based on the owner’s average annual investment in
the unit.
Interest is considered to be the cost of using cap-
ital. The interest on capital used to purchase a
machine must be considered, whether the machine
is purchased outright or financed.

LOAD FACTOR GUIDE


Note: The above table lists general fuel rates (i.e. fuel burned per hour) based on the following load factors.
Machine utilization and job efficiency should be used in conjunction with these load factors to prop-
erly evaluate fuel consumption. However, fuel efficiency (i.e. tons of material moved per unit of fuel
burned) is the best indicator of the impact of fuel consumption on owning and operating costs.
High: Continuous and aggressive tight truck loading, hard bank excavation, and shot rock loading from
a face.
Medium: Maximum productivity in aggregate truck loading and hopper charging. Assumes the normal tramming
and load & carry associated with the high productivity stockpile load-out and batch plant applications.
Low: Light utility, construction, low production aggregate truck loading, and most logging applications
where there is considerable idling, empty travel, and load & carry.

ESTIMATED TIRE LIFE — HOURS


Tire costs are an important part of the hourly cost 22
of any wheel machine. The best estimate of this item
is obtained when tire life figures based on experience
are used with prices the machine owner actually
pays for the replacement tires.
For cases in which tire experience is not available,
use the following tire life estimator curves.
Tire Life Estimators
● Curves do not allow for additional life from recap-
ping. They assume new tires run to destruction,
but this is not necessarily recommended.
● Based on standard machine tires. Optional tires
APPLICATION ZONES
will shift these curves either up or down.
● Sudden failure (blow out) due to exceeding Ton-MPH
(tkm/h) limitations is not considered. Nor are pre-
SKIDDERS
mature failures due to puncture.
● Application Zones:
ESTIMATED TIRE LIFE — HOURS

Zone A: almost all tires actually wear through the


tread from abrasion.
Zone B: tires wear out normally but others fail
prematurely due to rock cuts, impacts and non-
repairable punctures.
Zone C: few, if any, tires wear through the tread
due to non-repairable damages, usually from rock
cuts, impacts and continuous overloading.
NOTE: Tire life can often be increased by using
extra tread and extra deep tread tires.
NOTE: Premature failure could occur at any time
due to puncture. APPLICATION ZONES
