About this Handbook
This Caterpillar Performance Handbook provides performance information for estimating purposes only. It considers factors such as production and costs, including weight to horsepower ratio, capacity, transmission, speeds, and operating costs.
The handbook provides tables, charts, and graphs showing cycle times or hourly production figures for Cat machines under certain conditions. However, it is essential to understand the qualifying conditions before using any performance information.
Performance Data
The data is based on field testing, computer analysis, laboratory research, and experience. However, the data assumes 100% efficiency operation status, which cannot be achieved continuously even under ideal conditions.
To use the performance and production data, it is necessary to correct the results indicated in the handbook tables by appropriate factors, considering actual job efficiency, operator efficiency, material characteristics, haul road conditions, altitude, and other factors.
Estimating Owning and Operating Costs
The handbook suggests a method for estimating machine owning and operating costs, including guidelines for estimating consumption of fuel and lubricants, tire life, and repair costs for Cat machines. However, these guidelines should be considered only approximations.
