Tips to Select An Earthmoving System: Many factors influence whether articulated trucks or scrapers will work best

摘要

No one earthmoving system is optimal for every jobsite. Consider the dilemma of choosing between an articulated truck paired with an excavator or a wheel tractor scraper. The unique cut and fill conditions of the jobsite determine which system actually provides a better solution. "Conventional wisdom suggests that the haul distance is the principal criteria for the right choice of equipment on a given project," says Govi Kannan, Volvo Construction Equipment. "In addition to the haul distance, there are several application-related and economic-related factors which influence the decision on equipment selection." These include the material, space constraints, weather, operator skill and owning and operating costs.
