10/10/20 Payload
Management
Guidelines

Scope This document is intended to communicate the 10/10/20 payload

guidelines, the maximum operating weights, and the associated
payload guidelines that Caterpillar will use in support of warranty
considerations and maintenance and repair contracts.

Standards This document applies to Caterpillar® 770, 772, 773D, 773F, 775F
and 777D Quarry and Construction Trucks.
• Previous versions of the 10/10/20 Truck Payload Policy
are superceded by this document.

General Payload has a direct effect on three issues:

• Compliance with brake and steering certification to SAE
and ISO standards.
• Component life is directly related to gross machine weight
and associated payload.
• Support of warranty considerations and maintenance
and repair contracts.

For Dealer Sales Personnel

Statement of Guidelines To optimize the life of your Caterpillar machine, Caterpillar developed
the 10/10/20 Policy. The 10/10/20 policy states that 90% of all
payloads should be less than 110% of rated target payload.
No more than 10% of all payloads should exceed 10% above
rated target payload and at no time should rated target payload
be exceeded by 20%. The ideal hauling strategy that maximizes
machine and machine component life is to keep the mean of
all payloads at or below the machine’s rated target payload.
Continuously loading in excess of target payload may diminish
the life of the machine and its components. The rated capacity
of the tires should always be considered in any evaluation.

90% of loads should fall within

this range with no more than 10%
of loads exceeding 110% of payload.
No more than 10% of loads should
exceed 110% of the target payload
No loads should be above 120%
of the target payload

Definitions and Abbreviations There are two types of weights discussed in Quarry and Construction
Truck terminology: Measured weights and Specified weights.
Measured weights are quantifiable: a person can take a truck in
a given configuration, put it on a scale, and weigh it. Specified
weights are limits or targets set through engineering calculation
in order to ensure compliance with standard or particular
performance criteria.

Measured Weights
1 Empty Chassis Weight (ECW). This weight includes base
machine weight including fluids, 10 percent fuel, tires, rims,
and operator. The weight excludes the truck body.
2 Empty Machine Weight (EMW). This is equal to Empty
Chassis Weight plus body and body liner.
3 Empty Operating Weight (EOW). This weight is equal to
operating machine weight plus debris, full fuel and
attachments (where applicable).
4 Selected Attachments. This represents the selection of
attachments, mandatory and optional, chosen for a particular
truck configuration. Attachments include any purchased
from Caterpillar or by the customer/dealer.
Specified Weights
5 Maximum Gross Machine Weight (MGMW). Value
specified that allows 20 percent excess payload for most truck
configurations. This weight includes a fully configured truck
with full fluids, operator, payload and debris. An operating
truck should never exceed the MGMW. This weight is
certified to meet ISO and SAE steering and braking system
standards.

6 Target Gross Machine Weight (TGMW). Optimum target

weight that in Caterpillar’s opinion provides optimum
productivity and cost per ton. This specified value is in a
Loaded Operating Weight configuration. TGMW is used for
performance curves and calculations.

4
Calculated Payloads
7 Target Payload (TP). This value is calculated by taking
Target Gross Machine Weight minus Empty Operating
Weight. Calculation: TGMW – EOW = TP
8 Target Range Payload (TRP). A calculated value that falls
between 80 percent and 120 percent of the target payload.
This number should not be below 80 percent and never exceed
120 percent. Calculation: TP  0.8 < TRP < TP  1.2
9 Maximum Allowable Payload. Equal to 120 percent of
the Target Payload, which is not to cause Loaded Operating
Weight to exceed Maximum Gross Machine Weight.
Calculation: TP  1.2 = Max Allowable Payload
10 Debris. Debris is an application specific value that accounts
for normal mud and road material that is stuck to the truck.
Debris varies considerably depending on work conditions,
and can fluctuate between 2-8 percent of Empty Chassis
Weight. As a general rule, debris can be approximated
using 2-4 percent of ECW.
