EARTHMOVING EQUIPMENT PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY

The Cat 990 Loader is a high capacity equipment and very efficient for motorway construction earthworks. However, owning and operating cost is very high. Therefore, its operating and effective usage must be tracked closely not only from a production point of view but also from an investment point of view. In a selected project, the Cat 990-loader production performance during one-month period was monitored. 990-loader production performance calculated and compared for each crew. As a result it is seen that 990 loader production efficiencies varies between each crew and average efficiency 76% is low compared to the planned theoretical production rate. The reasons for low efficiency and different production efficiency between crews are investigated and stated as idle time, down time, work location, night or day shift, haulage road and managerial factors. It can be said that the findings of this study will be helpful for project managers in motorway construction.
