Koller K 300 and URUS M III mobile skylines had been examined as economical and technical. Time and cost analysis were performed. Productivity was determined to be 6.734 m3/hour for URUS M III and 3.312 m3/hour for Koller K 300 for average 250 m distance. Average costs were found 37.046 $/hour for URUS M III and 13.599 $/hour for Koller K 300 mobile skyline.
