Özet:

 

In this study, the productivity of front-end loader (Liebherr L 514 Stereo), which is one of the most used mechanized harvesting equipment in the production of forest products, was analyzed using time-study method. Factors influencing loader productivity were also evaluated by statistical analysis. Time measurements were carried out during forest harvesting operations in Topçam Forest Enterprise Chief in the city of Giresun. The results indicated that the most time-consuming stage of the loading operation was moving loaded to the logging truck, followed by moving unloaded to the side of the logs. According to the results, the average productivity of the loader was 34.27 m3/hr. Correlation test results showed that there was a positive correlation between productivity and log diameter and log volume, while there was no significant relationship between productivity and log length. The regression model developed with respect to the loader's productivity and specified log parameters (i.e. log diameter and log volume) was found to be significant and adequately explained the productivity of the loader. It was found that there was a significant relation between loader productivity and diameter classes and volume classes. It was also found that loader productivity increased as log diameter and log volume increases.
