The cost of operation is considered a secondary factor when buying or renting heavy
equipment, this will be directly linked to the amount of fuel consumed by the vehicle in a
given period of time. Through a simple operation, it can be established that:
The total cost in fuel per hour = [Fuel consumption per hour ] x [Fuel price]
The previous operation gives us the specific picture in relation to the cost of the total
fuel consumed by the vehicle, however sometimes the variable “Fuel
consumption
per hour” is unknown and this could vary depending on the load factor received by
the engine and of the type of operation that the machine performs.
In the case of excavation vehicles, as well as other machines, the engine load factor can be
directly influenced by any of the following variables affecting the final fuel consumption:
• Parking periods in idle (keep the vehicle on without movement)

• Manipulation of the tool implemented in the excavator or vehicle
• Movement of the excavator without load
• Maniobras with partial acceleration
• Work downhill
Other variables of great importance when determining the fuel consumption per hour
are classified according to the application of the excavator that can be summarized in
any of the following 3 cases:
Low Consumption
Low power consumption tasks are those that lead the engine to a load factor of between
20 to 40%, such as Excavation and movement of material to the designated station
located at ground level, digging of shallow ditches for public works or application on
low-density materials, including the movement of scrap metal.
Average Consumption
The work of average consumption leads the engine to a load factor with 40 to 60%,
among them stands out: The interrupted load of trucks, excavation of materials with low
to medium density and with the service ladle between 60 to 90% of their capacity. It
includes the loading of logs, modification of landscapes, etc. In which the team makes
few trips with distances ranging between 100 and 200 meters
High Consumption
The work of high consumption will lead the engine to a load factor of 60 to 80%, the
most common tasks include the continuous loading of trucks, excavation in rock or blast
rock floors, transport displacements exceeding 200m in length in those that the soil
provides difficult traction and great impacts.
Below is a table of fuel consumption per hour in the excavators most commonly used in the
construction industry:

liters
The consumptions established in the table consider:
• The difference of 12% that could exist between two operators

• 80% load factor with intermittent periods to 100%
To carry out an approximate calculation of the fuel consumption per hour in liters for
other vehicles, the following operation can be carried out:
Fuel consumption per hour = [Engine power in hp (horsepower)] / [number of

cylinders in the vehicle.]
Remember that the result may vary depending on the technology of the engine and the
variants mentioned in the publication

consumption, if you want more information please contact us.
