Historical Fuel Costs

Fuel costs in perspective• Fuel costs are the highest operating costs for
your machines.
• Fuel costs can exceed the original purchase price over the life of the machine.
• At $4 per gallon, the fuel costs are 30% - 35% of the total of the purchase price and the operating costs of the machine over a 10 year period.
• Engine and power train life is most closely related to fuel burned.

Site Layout
• Haul road design - avoid steep grades and grade changes.
• Haul road maintenance - keep roads smooth and firm.

Operator Techniques• Throttle lock and impellor clutch on loaders.
• Proper loading of the bucket.
• Proper spotting of trucks.
• Avoiding overloading trucks.
• Selecting the proper gear on trucks.

Configuring the Machine• Proper bucket & GET.
• Proper tires.
• Lockup clutch and ride control for load and carry.

Proper Fleet & Fleet Match
• The loader should be matched to the crusher.
• The trucks should be matched to the loader.
• The optimum number of trucks should be used.
