Which of the following earth moving machines has the shortest cycle time? A. Drag line B. Hoe C. Clam shell D. Dipper shovel

[amp_mcq option1=”Drag line” option2=”Hoe” option3=”Clam shell” option4=”Dipper shovel” correct=”option4″]

The correct answer is D. Dipper shovel.

A dipper shovel is a type of earthmoving machine that uses a bucket to dig and move material. It has a short cycle time because the bucket can be quickly raised and lowered, and the machine can be easily maneuvered.

A drag line is a type of earthmoving machine that uses a cable to drag a bucket along the ground. It has a longer cycle time than a dipper shovel because the bucket must be lowered and raised slowly, and the machine is not as maneuverable.

A hoe is a type of earthmoving machine that uses a blade to push material. It has a longer cycle time than a dipper shovel because the blade must be raised and lowered slowly, and the machine is not as maneuverable.

A clam shell is a type of earthmoving machine that uses a pair of jaws to open and close. It has a longer cycle time than a dipper shovel because the jaws must be opened and closed slowly, and the machine is not as maneuverable.
