basic earth handling equipment manual
(OP)
Can anyone tell me if there is a basic book on earth handling equipment for design purposes. such as crushers, hammer mills, trommels, conveyors, bucket equipment, dredging, etc. I'm an underground mining guy and want to learn a bit about this equipment and processes. from hardrock to clay to soil to sand etc.
thanks,
thanks,

got that info on the loaders, any handbooks on general material handling? I've had to call suppliers to educate me, but I would think that there should be something else available?
RE: basic earth handling equipment manual
CAT DOES have another publication, not only on loaders, but for several types of equipment; earth volume calcs.,cycle times, basic soil principles, earth moving tips & efficiency, and a lot of other tricks all rolled up in one little handbook. Any CAT sales rep should be able to get you one (I think). I had a complimentary copy once upon a time but remember it was a bit hard to get.
Don't know if it is what you're looking for or not but...good luck.

It has all that stuff. Don"t know if it's in print, maybe Amazon or some used book outfit has it. Good Luck
RE: basic earth handling equipment manual
I will look it up. I also have found an equipment classifieds magazine to be useful called "Rock & Dirt" which I use to call suppliers who are more than eager to educate me.

The title is actually, "Handbook of Heavy Construction".
