# of buckets 7 TRAM BUCKET SIZE X 2.5 17.5 (ALS) Actual load size NOTE: NEVER ROUND OFF ALS (ON SLIDE #47) STEP #5 LOAD WEIGHT (LW): e. To determine the Load Weight, multiply ASW and ALS. Regardless of how much volume that you may be able to haul, you should try to keep your load weight under 48,000 pounds. Table #2-2 shows the weight of Cinders as 1200 pounds per loose cubic yard. A struck load would weigh 16,800 pounds, while the heap load would weigh 21,600 pounds. These weights would be easily hauled, but it is a different story with other materials. Take a look at Earth Loam, Wet for instance: TABLE #2-2 APPROXIMATE WEIGHT OF SOIL TYPE OF SOIL POUNDS PER (CY) TYPE OF SOIL POUNDS PER (CY) CINDERS LIMESTONE 1200 LBS. 2500 LBS.
