Bucket Capacity/Material Density Selection Guide
Rock Mining Applications only, for Coal Mining contact your Cat representative.
The following table provides a guideline for bucket selection based on various material densities and estimated fill factors.
Based on the new ratings, fill factors are expected to be 110-120% in cohesive materials with easy digging, 100-110% in
typical shot rock loading, and 90-100% in poorly shot rock with large rocks and difficult penetration. For many mining
applications, the 994F standard lift is matched with the 19 m
3
(24.5 yd
3
) rock bucket and the high lift is matched with the
17 m
3
(22.5 yd
3
) rock bucket.
Changes in bucket weight, including field installed
wear iron, can impact rated payload. Consult your
Caterpillar dealer for assistance in selecting and
configuring the proper bucket for the application.
The Caterpillar Large Wheel Loader Payload Policy
is a guideline intended to maximize wheel loader
structural and component life.
