Bucket Capacity/Material Density Selection Guide Rock Mining Applications only, for Coal Mining contact your Cat representative. The following table provides a guideline for bucket selection based on various material densities and estimated fill factors. Based on the new ratings, fill factors are expected to be 110-120% in cohesive materials with easy digging, 100-110% in typical shot rock loading, and 90-100% in poorly shot rock with large rocks and difficult penetration.
