    Loading and Hauling

    1. Earth-moving and Heavy Construction Dump Truck


    Dumper

    The hauling capacity of Army dump trucks is


    expressed gravimetrically: 5-ton and 20-ton.
    Standard dumper Conversely, the capacity of loading equipment is
    Diesel powered dumper with gravity tipping skip. Heaped normally expressed in cubic yards. The unit weight of
    capacity ranges from 0.7-1.5 m3. the various materials to be transported may vary
    Swivel skip dumper from as little as 1, 700 pounds per LCY for dry clay, to
    Hydraulic tipping skip mounted on 180-degree slewing
    3,500 pounds per LCY for trap rock.
    turntable.
    Highway dumper 4. Compacting and Finishing
    Much larger dumper used to transport spoil off site. The
    rear tipping skip is hydraulically operated, and the usual Sheepsfoot Roller
    heaped capacity is 10 m3.

    2. Excavating and Lifting

    Face Shovel

    Standard sheepsfoot roller, with 42-inch diameter


    drums weigh between 8000 and 16000 lbs per 8 ft
    width and exert contact pressures from 1000 to 300
    Face shovels are characterized by a boom and bucket arm
    psi, with spike contact area of 5 to 8 square inches.

    haulage vehicle to be required for spoil removal, as well as
    a low loader transport lorry for travelling between
    sites. Face shovels are limited to an excavation depth of
    300-400 mm below their own track or wheel level.
    5. Production of Aggregate, Concrete and
    Asphalt

    Ready mixed concrete trucks

    These are used to transport mixed concrete to


    sites from a mixing plant or depot. The trucks are
    fitted with a water tank, typically with a capacity
    of around 1000 liters, to avoid the concrete
    setting en route to the site. The usual capacity of
    trucks ranges from 4-6 m3. A chute is used that
    extends from the back of the truck to place
    the concrete either in the required location or
    into a dumper or pump.

    6. Paving and Surface Treatment

    Asphalt Paver

    Standard paving range: 9.83 - 19.5 feet.


    Max paving width w/ extension: 25 feet.
    Paving speed, V screed: 250 fpm.
    Paving speed, VT screed: 82.
