Abstract: Bulldozer operations at coal mining companies are regarded as auxiliary activities; however, improper operation of this type of equipment results in up to 25% of productivity losses for primary mining transport equipment. The primary objective of the study is to determine the standards for bulldozer operations using the SHANTUI SD60-S5 machine as a case study. The study was conducted in the Primorsky Krai region of the Russian Federation at the Luchegorsk coal mine. The study focuses on technological parameters of bulldozers in terms of the volume of work performed and their motion. The subject of the study is the effect of the bulldozer motion parameters on its performance. The specific features of the bulldozer operation on a dump site are shown. It consists in a large number of the motion cycles typical for the specific operating conditions. A quantitative assessment is presented of the results of using this technique and the cost of the main types of resources such as time and fuel. The following values were adopted as the pilot norms for the SHANTUI SD60-S5 bulldozer at the Luchegorsk coal mine: productive time per shift – 8 hours for a moderately skilled operator; volume of work per productive hour – 1,451 m3, specific diesel fuel consumption – 57.4 l per 1 thousand m3 of rock mass under normal weather conditions. This methodological approach to rationing bulldozer work on the dump site can also be applied to other types of auxiliary work performed by the tractor-and-bulldozer equipment and used by managers at various management levels when planning, organizing, accounting for, and controlling the work of auxiliary equipment operators.

Keywords: coal mine, auxiliary equipment, bulldozer, repeating pattern, regulations of bulldozer operations, volume of work per productive hour, productive hours per shift, specific diesel fuel consumption
