How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various excavator types based on operating hours and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel/Energy Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters or kWh per hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel/Energy Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable source)
About Excavators
Excavators are heavy construction equipment used for digging, lifting, and moving earth. Their fuel consumption depends on size, load, and operating conditions.
- Mini Excavator 5 Ton: Ideal for small construction and landscaping projects.
- Medium Excavator 20 Ton: Suitable for general construction and infrastructure work.
- Large Excavator 35 Ton: Heavy-duty digging for large-scale mining and quarrying.
- Electric Excavator: Eco-friendly, zero-emission option for urban projects.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Operate at optimal engine speed to reduce fuel burn.
- Perform regular maintenance to keep efficiency high.
- Use idle-reduction technology where possible.
- Plan digging routes to minimize unnecessary movement.
