AN EARLY SHOVEL
SHOVELS:
Front shovels are used predominately for hard digging above track level and for loading haul units.
Loading of shot rock woauld be a typical application.
STEP 1: BUCKET SIZE:
Shovels can usually be equipped with different size buckets. Bottom dump buckets are also available.
Buckets are rated in both heaped and struck capacities.
Both PCSA and SAE use a 1:1 angle of repose for evaluating heaped bucket capacity. CECE specifies a 2:1 angle of repose.
Heaped Capacity is the rating of interest for Production Estimating.
