limit by 9,600 pounds. Therefore, if you are going to be hauling this type of material, and you are self loading, you should plan on hauling a struck load. However, if you are loading the scraper with another piece of equipment, such as a scoop loader, you must determine how many loads the loader can put on the scraper and still keep the weight of the load within the acceptable weight limits. (ON #48) (2) Each cubic yard weighs 2354 lbs (Step #1), and you are hauling 17.5 cubic yards. Therefore, the weight of your load will be 41,195 lbs. INTERIM TRANSITION: Thus far we have discussed scraper production. Do you have any questions? Let’s move on to the demonstration. EXAMPLE: ASW 2354 ALS X 17.5 41,195 load weight (LW) NOT OVER THE 48,000 LBS MAX. LOAD WEIGHT NOTE: NEVER ROUND OFF LOAD WEIGHT (ON SLIDE #49) STEP #6: SHORT TONS: f. Are found by dividing the gross weight by 2,000 lbs. (the weight of one ton) Example: 66,590 LBS. TR. WT. + 41,195 LOAD WT. (from step #5) 107,785 LBS. WEIGHT
