2. Hauler capacity 9 – 11 yd³ , say 10 yd³

10yd³ ÷ 2yd³ = 5 buckets to fill up hauler

Hauler total weight = 27k + 28k = 55k lb = 27.5 ton

Segn 1: 700ft @ 4% (rolling assistance)

TR = RR + GR = (70 X 27.5) + (20 X 4 X27.5) = 4125lb

V =(33,000 x hp) ÷ (TR X 88) = (33,000 x 140) ÷ (4125 x 88) = 12.73mph

With 70 % Efficency

0.7 x 12.73 = 8.9mph

Average speed, 𝑉𝑙 = 0.83 x 8.9 = 7.387mph

= 7.387 x 88 = 650fpm

HTsegn 1 = 700ft ÷ 650fpm = 1.08min

Segn 2: 4000ft @ 11% (rolling assistance)

TR = RR + GR = (70 X 27.5) + (20 X 11 X27.5) = 7975lb

V =(33,000 x hp) ÷ (TR X 88) = (33,000 x 140) ÷ (7975 x 88) = 6.58mph

With 96 % Efficency

0.96 x 6.58 = 6.32mph

Average speed, 𝑉𝑙 = 0.95 x 6.32 = 6.000mph

= 6.000 x 88 = 528fpm

HTsegn 2 = 4000ft ÷528fpm = 7.58min

Segn 3: 1,000ft @ -20% (rolling assistance)

GR = 60, TR = (70 +60)W

= 130lb / ton x 27.5 ton = 3575lb

V3 =(33,000 x 0.7 x 140) ÷ (3575 X 88) = 10.3mph

Average speed, 𝑉𝑙 = 1.19 x 10.3 = 1079mph

HTsegn 3 = 1000ft ÷ 1079fpm = 0.93min
