Equipment Specs

[nohd]

Is there any handbooks or website for equipment like scrapers, dozer, loaders, blade,compactors and others that specify all their specification, the reason is i want to know how much CY can move by scrapers a day (e.g. 623,637,651 etc. ).also the loaders , how many CY can load on 980 or 950..

Two sources....Equipment manufacturers like Caterpillar, and Peurifoy's book on Construction Planning.

I don't think you can beat Caterpillar's Performance Handbook. I got mine from the local dealer. Pardon the pun, but when it comes to moving dirt, Caterpillar wrote the book!

You can request a specs book from each manufacturer, I have John Deere, Cat, and Komatsu. There are differences in similar equipment and on a long term job can add up to be alot.
