To use the table, find the material name and see what its maximum density is.
Then, multiply the loader rating of the attachment by the material density to
determine if the attachment can safely be used. See page 78 for a listing of
attachments and their loader ratings.
Note: Where the material density is listed as a range (clay at 80-100 lb/ft
3
, for
example), always use the maximum density (100 lb/ft
3
in this example) for
making calculations. Also, see the following examples.
Example 1: If clay (density of 80-100 lb/ft
3
) is to be hauled using an SL7800
model loader using a 27 ft
3
Dirt/Construction Bucket, the bucket capacity is
27 ft
3
and the loader rating is 3600 lb. Multiply the density of clay (100 lb/ft
3
)
by the capacity of the bucket (27 ft
3
) to achieve the weight being carried
(100 lb/ft
3
x27ft
3
= 2700 lb). This number is less than the machine rating so
you could safely use this bucket in this application.
Example 2: If granite (density of 1488-1776 kg/m
3
) is to be hauled using an
SL7600 model loader using a 21 ft
3
Dirt/Construction Bucket, the bucket
capacity is 0.6 m
3
and the loader rating is 1430 kg. Multiply the density of
granite (1776 kg/m
3
) by the capacity of the bucket (0.6 m
3
) to achieve the
weight being carried (1776 kg/m
3
x 0.6 m
3
= 1066 kg). This number is less
than the machine rating so you could safely use this bucket in this application.
