Hydraulic Excavator Earthwork Production Rate (BCY / LCY / TPH) Calculator

Easily calculate and compute hydraulic excavator earthwork production rate (bcy / lcy / tph) calculator with accurate equations, live formulas, and expert guidance.

Standard cycle: Dig, swing 90°, dump into truck, return (18-26 seconds).

Common earth: 90-100%; Hard clay: 80-85%; Blasted rock: 60-75%.

Standard 50-minute hour accounts for truck spotting and repositioning.
