OPERATION Recommended working direction Best practice is: Working from right to left (Fig. 2-147:). Cleaning of the floor behind and beside the shovel is done by a dozer. Trucks will drive on levelled and clean ground, this results in less tire / suspension damage. Doing so is a clear separation of loading action and clean-up support. The hydraulic shovel shall always return to the right end of the face (end of the cut) and start again.
Fig. 2-147:
Not recommended – Digging advance left to right Loading the truck to the left side means increased swing angle and longer cycle times (Fig. 2-148:) = unproductive. The operator might try to reduce the swing angle, tails are left behind / no straight face.
Truck position on rough ground / spillage, results in cleanup delays, dozer standby required, risk of tire damage.
Fig. 2-148:
Not recommended – Digging advance left to right Loading the truck to the right side (Fig. 2-149:) results in loading on the blind side. Poor visibility of shovel operator to the truck means swing over the blind side.
Poor visibility of truck driver to the shovel means difficult positioning.
