SHOVELSWilliam S. Otis, of the firm of Carmichael, Fairbanks and Otis, when living in Canton, Massachusetts in 1834 and 1835, while his firm was performing grading work for the Boston & Providence Railroad built the first steam excavator – a steam shovel.

AN EARLY SHOVEL
![Page 5: SHOVELS. William S. Otis, of the firm of Carmichael, Fairbanks and Otis, when living in Canton, Massachusetts in 1834 and 1835, while his firm was performing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea75503460f94ba964b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
SHOVELSFront shovels are used predominately for hard digging above track level and for loading haul units.
Loading of shot rock would be a typical application.

STEP 1: BUCKET SIZEShovels can usually be equipped with different size buckets. Bottom dump buckets are also available.
![Page 7: SHOVELS. William S. Otis, of the firm of Carmichael, Fairbanks and Otis, when living in Canton, Massachusetts in 1834 and 1835, while his firm was performing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea75503460f94ba964b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
STEP 1: BUCKET SIZE
Buckets are rated in both heaped and struck capacities.Both PCSA and SAE use a 1:1 angle of repose for evaluating heaped bucket capacity. CECE specifies a 2:1 angle of repose. Heaped Capacity is the rating of interest for Production Estimating.

STEP 2: FILL FACTORThe Fill Factor adjusts Heaped Capacity in lcy based on the type of material being handled.
Table 9.1, page 258
![Page 9: SHOVELS. William S. Otis, of the firm of Carmichael, Fairbanks and Otis, when living in Canton, Massachusetts in 1834 and 1835, while his firm was performing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea75503460f94ba964b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
STEP 2: FILL FACTOR
HEAPED BUCKET CAPACITY
FILL FACTOR
= VOLUME (lcy)

STEP 3: CYCLE TIME
There are four elements in the production cycle of a shovel:
1. Load bucket
2. Swing with load
3. Dump load
4. Return swingSee page 260
![Page 11: SHOVELS. William S. Otis, of the firm of Carmichael, Fairbanks and Otis, when living in Canton, Massachusetts in 1834 and 1835, while his firm was performing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea75503460f94ba964b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
STEP 3: CYCLE TIME
Height of cut affects shovel production. Optimum height of cut ranges from 30 to 50% of maximum digging height, with the lower percentage being representative of easy-to-load materials, such as loam, sand, or gravel. Table 9.2
![Page 12: SHOVELS. William S. Otis, of the firm of Carmichael, Fairbanks and Otis, when living in Canton, Massachusetts in 1834 and 1835, while his firm was performing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea75503460f94ba964b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
STEP 3: CYCLE TIME
Angle of swing affects shovel production. If the angle of swing is increased, the time for a cycle will be increased, whereas if the angle of swing is decreased, the time for a cycle will be decreased. Table 9.2
![Page 13: SHOVELS. William S. Otis, of the firm of Carmichael, Fairbanks and Otis, when living in Canton, Massachusetts in 1834 and 1835, while his firm was performing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea75503460f94ba964b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
STEP 3: CYCLE TIME
Ideal production of a shovel is based on operating at a 90° swing and optimum height of cut. The effect of the angle of swing on the production of a shovel is illustrated in Table 9.2.

STEP 4: EFFICIENCY FACTOR
When selecting a minutes per hour efficiency factor visualize the work site and consider: • Materials being handled, bank or
broken
• Size of the shovels’s dumping target,
(large or small)

STEP 5: CLASS of MATERIAL
Production will be in lcy, will need swell factor to adjust to bcy. TABLE 4.3

STEP 6: PRODUCTION
Working mins / hr
Total cycle time (min)
X Heaped Capacity (lcy)
X Fill Factor
X height/swing factor
= Production (lcy/hr)
