Cycle Time Calculations
Haul Infinity calculates cycle times from first principles using the payloads, swing times, and in-cycle delays.
Loader Payload Calculation
- Enter the bucket payload and volume limit.
- Haul Infinity calculates the utilised bucket payload.
...
Truck Payload Calculation
- Enter the truck tray payload and volume limit.
- Haul Infinity calculates the utilised tray payload.
Loading Calculation
- Enter the truck filling type:
- FullBuckets → less swings to fill the tray, some trucks light-loaded.
- FullTrucks → more swings to fill the tray, last bucket light-loaded.
- Theoretical → allow the digger to make "half a swing".
- Enter the loader cycle time (time to load one bucket).
- Enter the loader first pass delay (time to switch between trucks).
- Haul Infinity calculates the corresponding load times.
...
Overrides
The Overrides section can be used to bypass the cycle time calculations.
...
Make sure to override both Loader Load Time and Truck Load Time to capture the correct truck and loader rates.
