Question:

Excavator, dump truck capacity in metric tons?

What is the capacity of the 'bucket' or 'backhoe' of a large construction excavator for commercial buildings? What is the capacity of a dump truck that takes the payload from such an excavator? I'm trying to figure out how many dump truck trips and how many scoops of earth it will take to excavate a 40m x 20 m x 4 m hole, for an apartment building construction site.

Answer:

well that stuff is pretty impressive, but try cubic yds or meters etc, it might help simplify it.
