change out at defined intervals, and operate<br />

on the switched reluctance principle.<br />

Wheel loaders do not require ancillary<br />

floor clean up equipment, as they can<br />

perform this exercise themselves. (Ozdogan,<br />

2012)<br />

2 PRODUCTIVITY<br />

Wheel loaders are highly flexible tools,<br />

allowing for the quickest relocation. They<br />

can be the first loading tool to the digging<br />

face after a blast, ensuring quickest restart of<br />

production, and can be quickly deployed to<br />

alternate selective and material blending<br />

requirement locations.<br />

Standard track mounted production tools<br />

such as Rope Shovels and Hydraulic<br />

excavators, have a revolving upper structure,<br />

and only require relocation when the material<br />

to be excavated is out of reach. This typically<br />

leads to sub thirty second load cycles for<br />

smaller class equipment and sub thirty five<br />

second cycles for larger equipment.<br />

Wheel loader performance relies more on<br />

operators to minimize travel distances.<br />

(Fleet, 2012). Well trained operators can<br />

achieve thirty second load cycles on wheel<br />

loaders, with a more typical figure for<br />

electric drive wheel loaders of thirty five to<br />

forty seconds, and a few seconds longer for<br />

mechanical drive wheel loaders in the same<br />

application, due to mechanical performance.<br />

(Klink 2012)<br />

Rope Shovels and Hydraulic excavators<br />

have more digging power than wheel loaders<br />

due to their weight and design. Each<br />

equipment type has its suitable application.<br />

In adequately blasted, or free digging<br />

applications, electric drive wheel loaders can<br />

offer competing productivity, at lower total<br />

cost than diesel powered hydraulic<br />

excavators, by using a larger capacity wheel<br />

loader to make up the productivity gains lost<br />

by cycle time. (Anon, 2011)<br />

Example 1. Productivity<br />

15m³ Hydraulic excavator – 27 Tonne<br />

91 Tonne payload truck<br />

3600 Seconds in one hour<br />

90% Operator Efficiency<br />

Equation 1. Loading cycles<br />

<br />

<br />

N = Number of Loading Cycles<br />

P t = Truck payload (Tonne)<br />

P = Wheel Loader payload (Tonne)<br />

<br />

<br />

Equation 2. Time to load truck<br />

<br />

T = Time to load truck (Sec)<br />

T c = Time for individual load cycle (Sec)<br />

T s = Time for truck spotting (Sec)<br />

<br />

Equation 3. Trucks Loaded Per Hour<br />

<br />

<br />

N h = Number of trucks loaded in one hour<br />

S h = Seconds in one hour<br />

O e = operator Efficiency<br />

<br />

<br />

Equation 4. Hourly Production<br />

P hr<br />

<br />

= Hourly productivity (Tonne)<br />

<br />

<br />

Example 2 Productivity<br />

19m³ Electric drive wheel loader<br />

34.5 Tonne wheel loader payload<br />
