Does the height of the stockpile affect the ease of loading broken concrete?

The assertion that lower stockpiles make loading broken concrete easier is accurate. When stockpiles of material such as broken concrete are at a lower height, they are more accessible for heavy equipment like a tractor-loader-backhoe. This accessibility allows the operator to effectively position the bucket for optimal material loading without needing to extend the equipment's reach excessively or elevate it to a higher point.

Lower stockpiles reduce the risk of spillage during loading since the angle and distance are optimal for the machinery. It enhances the operator's ability to control the loading process and minimizes strain on both the machine and the operator, ultimately making the operation more efficient and safer.

Higher stockpiles, on the other hand, can complicate the loading process, require additional maneuvering, and may lead to instability with the material falling or shifting during the loading attempt. Therefore, maintaining a lower stockpile is beneficial for improving the ease and efficiency of loading operations.
