Caterpillar 29 Edition Performance Handbook Manual – PDF DOWNLOAD
PREFACE
Machine performance must ultimately be measured in unit cost of material moved, a measure that includes both production and costs. Factors bearing directly on productivity include such things as weight to horsepower ratio, capacity, type of transmission, speeds and operating costs.
The Performance Handbook considers these factors in detail. There are other less direct machine performance factors for which no tables, charts or graphs are possible. Serviceability, parts availability and operator convenience are examples.
In comparing machine performance, all factors should be considered. This Handbook is intended as an aid which, when coupled with experience and a good knowledge of local conditions, can assist in estimating true machine performance. Many sections of the Handbook include tables or curves showing cycle times or hourly production figures for Caterpillar machines under certain conditions.
Statements of conditions always accompany or precede the curves or tables. Before using any performance information in this Handbook, a complete understanding of the qualifying conditions is essential.
The data is based on field testing, computer analysis, laboratory research and experience; and every effort has been made to assure their correctness. However, all such data is based upon 100% efficiency in operation — a status which cannot be achieved continuously even under ideal conditions.
Thus, in using such performance and production data, it is necessary to correct the results indicated in the handbook tables by appropriate factors. This allows for the anticipated actual job efficiency, operator efficiency, material characteristics, haul road conditions, altitude and other factors which may reduce performance or production on a particular job.
Methods for estimating machine owning and operating costs vary widely, depending on locality, industry practices, owner preferences and other factors. One method is suggested in the Handbook section on Owning and Operating Costs.
When used with good judgment, it has provided reasonably accurate estimates in the past. Included in the Owning and Operating Section are guidelines, based on working conditions, to assist in estimating consumption of fuel and lubricants, tire life and repair costs for Caterpillar machines.
However, what one Handbook user regards as “excellent” conditions, another may consider “severe” or “average”, depending on his own experience and basis of comparison.
Therefore, these guidelines should be considered only approximations. Caterpillar Inc. has made every effort to assure that the information contained in this Handbook is accurate and is a fair statement of the results to be achieved in the circumstances indicated.
However, because of the many variables involved in estimating the production or performance of earthmoving machinery, their consumption of fuel and lubricants, tire life and repair costs, and the possibility of inadvertent errors or omissions in assembling this data,
Caterpillar cannot and does not imply that all data in this book are complete nor that this level of performance will be achieved on a given job.
Specifications shown in this Handbook were current at time of printing. However, due to Caterpillar’s many machine improvement programs, specifications and materials may change without notice.
For current specifications relating to a machine’s performance, please refer to the most recent Caterpillar product specification sheet.
