    1. Equipment Types

    2. Machine Types Machine Types: Dozer,Compactor, Scraper, Trucks/Excavator, Grader, Loader Capabilities: Payload, production, speed, Specifications: Cost, Horsepower, weight, ground pressure, expected life

    3. Equipment Types Dozer Landfill Compactor Track Loaders Backhoe Water Truck Motor Grader Wheel Loaders

    4. Dozer Pushes waste Spreads Cover Low ground pressure Good Traction

    5. Compactor Spreads Waste Compacts Waste The compactor directs cell construction.

    6. Truck and Excavator Excavates Soil Transports Soil Performs Basic Grading

    7. Support Equipment Water Truck Motor Grader Vibratory Compactor Vactor Excavator Boom Truck Back hoe Mowers

    8. Loaders Work-alone Capabilities Excavates Soil Pushes Waste Compacts Waste Places Cover

    9. Excavators Loading trucks Digging Trenching Lifting Grading slopes Special tools

    10. Landfill Equipment Primary Equipment Refuse Handling - used to push, place, compact, trim and cover refuse Excavation - used to excavate and transport cover materials from stockpiles or excavation areas to the active landfill Support Equipment Such as water trucks and motor graders

    11. Choosing the Correct Equipment Consider price Consider tasks Look ahead 5-10 years Equipment Versatility

    12. How Many Machines per (Service/Repair) Worker? Well, it depends mostly on tonnage. We found that it averaged approximately 98 tons per machine. Included: Compactors, dozers, graders, water trucks, scrapers, loaders …all heavy equipment.

    13. Equipment Selection - 1 Define the Tasks Match the Equipment to Each Task Assign Equipment Costs Consider Alternative Machines

    14. Equipment Selection - 2 Based on site-specific parameters such as: tons of refuse handled per day soil type topography scraper haul/return distances type of refuse, etc..

    15. Vehicle Simulation Available from Dealer Database of Equipment specifications Plug in the variables slope or grade haul/push distances soil type unusual stuff

    16. Other Equipment Choice Options Look-up Tables: Not as accurate as a site-specific selection study but faster You can prepare your own Equipment Versatility

    17. Ways to Cut Equipment Costs Reducing Out-of-Pocket Costs Principle Costs Interest Costs Insurance Costs Salvage Value Fuels Lube, Oil, Filter Repair Reserve Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.) Tires

    18. Ways to Cut Equipment Costs (con’t) Reducing Hidden Costs Unproductive Machine Downtime Major Rebuild Unexpected Breakdown No Operator Available Machine Down Due to Lack of Support Equipment Machine Down for Service Wrong Machine for the Job
