Formula and assumptions
How this calculation works.
Apply both user-supplied carrier capacity limits to one loose material order and show which arithmetic limit controls trips. Trips = max(ceil(loose volume / volume limit), ceil(loose volume × density / mass limit)).
A worked example
Illustrative inputs only. Product properties and design dimensions are not recommendations for your project.
- Measured loose volume to move
- 10 m³
- Supplier density on the same loose basis
- 1,500 kg/m³
- Carrier supplied usable volume per trip
- 4 m³
- Carrier supplied permitted material mass per trip
- 5,000 kg
- Your additional material allowance
- 0 %
Trips using both supplied limits: 3 trips
Limits must be supplied by the carrier for the actual job. The tool does not establish legal payload, safe loading, stability or access suitability.
Before you purchase
Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
All product dimensions, coverage, density, allowances and joining rules must come from your supplied plan or selected product. No building-code values are inserted.
