LHV Calculator

About This Tool

The LHV Calculator is a specialized tool designed for heavy industry professionals, including miners, construction managers, and fleet operators. It allows users to input vehicle specifications, material densities, and load dimensions to determine optimal payloads and volume capacities. By automating complex calculations, it helps streamline planning and reduces the risk of overload or underutilization. The straightforward interface guides users through entering data such as vehicle weight, maximum payload, material density (e.g., tonnes per cubic meter), and load dimensions. After clicking ‘Calculate,’ users receive instant results showing payload weight, volume estimates, and efficiency metrics, displayed clearly and with helpful labels. Additional features include the ability to save previous calculations, switch between metric and imperial units, and export results as CSV files for record-keeping. This tool is perfect for operational decision-making, load planning, and improving fleet throughput, especially in mining operations, construction projects, and heavy machinery logistics. Its design emphasizes accuracy, usability, and accessibility, ensuring it fits seamlessly into the workflows of busy field and office environments.
