Abstract:
A shovel includes a lower-part traveling body, an upper-part turning body, an attachment, and a controller. The upper-part turning body is turnably mounted on the lower-part traveling body. The attachment is mounted on the upper-part turning body, and has a consumable part attached to its leading edge. The controller is configured to obtain coordinates of the consumable part when the consumable part is caused to contact a predetermined feature, and to calculate the amount of wear of the consumable part based on at least two sets of the coordinates obtained under different conditions.
