Description
The Fuel Usage Calculator is an Excel-based fuel consumption estimator with a built-in database of over 575 plant and equipment items commonly found on UK construction sites. The database covers excavators, dumpers, telehandlers, generators, MEWPs (cherry pickers and scissor lifts), compressors, pumps, rollers, loading shovels and more, each with fuel consumption rates at five duty cycle levels: 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and idle.
The equipment database is searchable by keyword, equipment type and size range, so you can quickly find the specific model or class you need. Once selected, the calculator outputs litres per hour at your chosen duty cycle and total litres consumed for any specified shift duration, giving you the figures needed for fuel ordering, cost forecasting and carbon reporting.
The tool is designed for site managers, plant coordinators and environmental managers who need to estimate fuel consumption for budgeting, generator sizing, refuelling schedules and project carbon calculations. All consumption rates are based on manufacturer data and industry benchmarks for UK construction plant.
