How to use truck cycle time calculator
- Enter your measured values in the displayed units.
- Review the calculation: Cycle = loading + loaded travel + dumping + empty return + delays; theoretical cycles/hour = 60 / cycle minutes.
- Read the result and compare with the example.
WHEN IT HELPS
Common uses
- Check the worked example: 5 + 10 + 2 + 8 + 5 = 30 minutes; 2 theoretical cycles/hour.
IN PRACTICE
Example
5 + 10 + 2 + 8 + 5 = 30 minutes; 2 theoretical cycles/hour.
GOOD TO KNOW
Are theoretical cycles guaranteed?
No. Availability, shift breaks and variable queues reduce actual cycles. Use representative observed times.
