Special equipment KAMAZ OJSC is the largest manufacturer of trucks in Russia.
This company produces various dimensions of KamAZ dump trucks; it took 13th place in the world among other companies that manufacture heavy trucks. This is an excellent device that serves the agricultural field, construction as well as public utilities. The Kama Automobile Plant produces trucks that unload themselves. They can transport loads from 7000 to 25500 kg. Their special equipment can be classified into four groups:

• biaxial - 4x2;
• triaxial - 6x4;
• three-axle all-wheel drive - 6x6;
• four-axle - 8x4.

All devices are equipped with diesel engines and a restyled cabin, which is characterized by increased comfort. The front torpedo has a new shape; it is made of safety plastic. A panel with buttons and control switches is turned towards the driver. There is an autonomous heater control unit located under the ceiling of the equipment.

The equipment can be used as mining dump trucks and timber loaders.

Flatbed vehicles with a carrying capacity of 10 tons

Flatbed vehicles of the Kama Automobile Plant are used to transport bulky and non-standard-shaped cargo. The sides are necessary to prevent cargo from moving around the body. Due to its dimensions, the truck is widely used in the construction and industrial sectors.

IMPORTANT: Given the open design of the body, cargo should be transported on flatbed vehicles that are not subject to negative environmental influences.

Regardless of the wheel formula, KamAZ onboard vehicles have an elongated frame. This allows you to transport loads of various lengths. The chassis is equipped with an open body with three folding sides. The height of the sides may vary depending on the vehicle modification.

The dimensions of the onboard KamAZ truck differ depending on the type of chassis. The platform sizes are as follows:

1. Platform width – 2300 millimeters;
2. Length from front to rear side - from 3.63 to 5.96 meters;
3. Platform height – from 0.64 to 1.78 meters;
4. Body volume from 6.6 to 20 m3.

REFERENCE: the platform can be additionally equipped with an awning. It protects the cargo from the influence of precipitation and blowing away while the truck is moving.

Recommendations for selecting a device

Before buying a device, you must know the purpose, that is, why you are buying it, for what work you want to use it. Be careful: a regular road dump truck and, for example, a quarry dump truck, which has increased cross-country ability, are two different vehicles that have different technical characteristics, can perform different jobs, and are manufactured for different purposes.

The first and main criterion when choosing a model is the technical indicators of the design.

Among them, you need to pay attention to power, body volume, body dimensions, load capacity, ease of operation and operation, and cab type.

The second criterion is reliability, as well as ease of operation. You should choose special equipment that will not need to be repaired in six months and invest a lot of money in service.

The third criterion is price. Of course, you don't want to overpay for a device just because of its brand name.

Please note: comfort in the driver's cabin is also one of the most important factors, there are some models equipped with air conditioning. Of course, this is comfortable for car drivers.

It is also worth considering the presence of a heated platform, seat ergonomics, turning radius and maneuverability, heated mirrors and body, and vehicle stability.

All dump trucks of the Kama Automobile Plant have their own advantages and disadvantages, but you can still choose the right model for each type of construction work. You can find an excellent option that will combine the golden mean of quality and cost.

Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of one dump truck model - 65115.

This is an excellent option that can be used when performing monotonous work in the city and on construction sites. It is economical and reliable. Can be used in any weather, including low temperatures. Has high cross-country ability. It is characterized by ease of maintenance; the engine, if used normally, needs to be repaired extremely rarely. That is, we conclude that this model is an excellent municipal equipment, namely a garbage truck. As for the disadvantages, these are high gas consumption and a capricious engine that does not tolerate overheating at all. It is important to note that when purchasing this model, you may come across a design with a defective fuel pump and turbine. Special equipment has difficulty covering long distances.

Conclusion

The Kama Automobile Plant produces dump trucks that have low and medium payload capacity, that is, from 7 tons, as well as models with high payload capacity - up to 25.5 tons. Many cars use all-wheel drive. The plant’s employees make sure that the drivers in the dump trucks are as comfortable and warm as possible, so the new vehicles are distinguished by ergonomics, user-friendly control panels, and high comfort, including air conditioning and heating. Particular attention should be paid to the size of special equipment, since the type and volume of work that this equipment can perform depends on them.

Kamaz 6522: technical characteristics of the dump truck

The Kama Automobile Plant only recently began mass production of the KamAZ-6522 tractor. The first models (experimental) were created on the platform of the KamAZ-65224 chassis (tired with one ramp). The purpose of creating this machine is to transport industrial cargo for various purposes, as well as bulk materials weighing no more than 19 tons. Technical characteristics of KamAZ-6522 are specially designed for transporting heavy loads in the most difficult operating conditions.

Among the design features is the presence of a protective visor located between the platform and the vehicle cabin. The cabin and platform are heated by an exhaust gas system. There is a remote lowering mechanism. The technical characteristics of KamAZ modification 65222 allow you to make work on this dump truck as comfortable as possible.

KamAZ-6522 is a powerful dump truck that easily dominates our difficult roads. This is a reliable, durable and robust machine that is easy to use. Wear resistance is due to the car's time-tested design.

Types of modifications

In addition to the basic modification, the Kama Automobile Plant creates several models of the KamAZ-6522 car, namely: KamAZ 6522-63 and KamAZ 6522-027.

Features of KamAZ 6522-63

It has a more modern design due to a restyled cabin, reliable and comfortable. The wheel arrangement and total weight of this modification, as well as the base one, are the same. There are no differences in the technical characteristics of KamAZ modification 65221. In terms of technical characteristics, there is only one difference - model 6522-63 is equipped with an imported ZF mechanical transmission. It makes it possible to increase the controllability of the equipment by an order of magnitude.

KamAZ-5511

• Car make: KamAZ
• Country of origin: USSR

• Year of manufacture: 1977
• Body type: Truck

KamAZ-5511 is a fairly popular model of a dump truck, produced by the Kama Automobile Enterprise. This car was produced for 13 years (1977-1990). The KamAZ 5511 dump truck served as one of the factory's first vehicles, but its use did not stop.

Even today you can quite often notice this brand on the roads of the Russian Federation, and not only that. The Soviet market did not previously have a large selection of dump trucks. This article is a description of the KamAZ-5511 dump truck. Here you can find out about the characteristics of KamAZ 5511. The entire KamAZ model range.

Car history

The beginning of the 1970s marked a “big construction project” in the USSR. Based on this, high-quality machines were needed that would be able to function for a long period of time, despite heavy loads. Therefore, they began to develop a model of a dump truck for construction sites. The car differed from similar models in that it had a bright yellow paint job that was non-standard for other domestic cars.

KamAZ-5511 has good cross-country ability, which makes it much higher than other trucks. The dump truck is not afraid of different climatic conditions, and with the help of the unloading mechanism it is possible to unload the cargo in a short period of time.

The truck was a durable three-axle structure with a 6x4 wheel arrangement. The KamAZ 5511 dump truck was distinguished by its increased load capacity, excellent maneuverability and versatility. Model 5511 was used for transporting a variety of cargo (which could include bulk cargo) on various road surfaces.

Body

If we take into account the operating manual or catalog, the dump truck had a large welded all-steel body, which can be classified as a bucket type. It is also equipped with a special visor on the side of the cabin to provide additional protection. Experts decided to slightly widen the rear of the body to make it easier to unload bulk materials.

As an additional option, the body had a special heating system, which operated using exhaust gases. Moreover, it could prevent the cargo being transported from freezing during cold times. The lift of the dump truck body itself was quite high.

It was fixed in working order using locking pins, which were mounted on the bushings of the tipping brackets. They didn’t forget to install a specialized safety rope that prevented the body from tipping over.

With the help of a spring, it was possible to ensure that the safety rope was laid in the transport mechanism. The car was distinguished by the presence of a frame of increased strength. The welded subframe, which was made from cross beams and stamped steel spars, was connected using ties and brackets.

The dump hydraulic mechanism includes an oil drive, a power take-off, a control valve, a hydraulic cylinder, an oil tank, limit valves, a pneumatic drive, electric pneumatic valves and an oil pump. It takes no more than 20 seconds to raise or lower the body.

Cabin interior

This model has a sprung cabin, which is fixed to the frame. The KamAZ 5511 cabin was designed for a couple of people. It can be folded forward using a torsion bar device, which is very convenient in order to carry out care and maintenance of the power unit. Triplex glass can be lowered and raised, and the windows can be rotated.

The floor and wall were covered with noise and heat insulating material. They did not forget to provide the cabin with heating and ventilation. The cabin was later able to receive minor changes, for example, there was 3-layer glass with additional protection from damage.

The driver's seat has also been improved, allowing it to be adjusted to suit the height and weight of each individual driver. The cabin also received a high roof. The car was intended for suburban transportation, so it did not have a sleeping place.

Specifications

Power unit

As a power unit, the 5511 model was equipped with a 210-horsepower engine, devoid of turbocharging. The engine is four-stroke and runs on diesel fuel, and has a V-shaped eight at its disposal. It has a longitudinal arrangement and is installed in front under the cab.

If we talk about the cooling system, then it is a closed type, which forces a special liquid (antifreeze) to be constantly and forcefully supplied. The latter system has a pair of thermostats, and the cooler drive has an automatic hydraulic clutch.

The engine allows you to reach a top speed of 80 km/h. The dump truck consumes about 27 liters of diesel fuel at a speed limit of 60 km/h according to the passport.

Transmission

The transmission was a 5-speed manual gearbox with a 2-disc dry clutch. The main speed has a couple of degrees, which contain the presence of cylindrical and bevel gears. All vehicle configurations have rear-wheel drive.

Suspension

The front suspension has a pair of longitudinal springs with sliding rear ends. There are also pins with rubber bushings, which synchronize the suspension shock absorbers with the dump truck frame. The rear-mounted suspension was equipped with a balancer with one axle, which was pressed into its bracket. The rear wheels of the dual type are discless and use a three-piece design.

Brake system

In addition to the main (working) brake system, there are three more: spare, auxiliary and parking. All of them operate offline. The main brake mechanism is of a dual-circuit type and is pneumatically controlled, acting separately on the rear bogie and the axle installed in front.

It can be started by pressing the pedal. If it fails, then using the lever you can turn on the spare system, which operates only on the rear wheels. The parking system serves as part of it. To unload the main system and cool it, you will need an auxiliary one, which uses the presence of a gas-dynamic mechanism in the exhaust device.

The latter can shut off the supply of diesel fuel, which will entail smooth braking. In addition, the dump truck has an emergency brake release drive. It is clear that there was no talk of any ABS system in the KamAZ 5511 model.

Steering

A hydraulic booster, which has a plastic gear pump and a spool-type valve, serves as a steering assistant. The pump drive operates from the crankshaft of the power unit. If we talk about the longitudinal rod of the steering wheel of the car, then it is forged, and the transverse rod is full. They all have ball joints.

Diversity

Today, many varieties of Kamaz are produced, since this vehicle has proven itself in all areas of application. There are: dump trucks, container carriers (flatbed), panel carriers, special equipment (cranes, concrete mixers), tractors, chassis and others, so the KAMAZ body size and price for each specific type (model) are different. It makes no sense to list everything; let’s focus on the most popular models.

KamAZ-5320 is one of the most popular models, plus it is one of the first representatives of the Kama plant line of trucks to appear. This flatbed tractor is used with towed components (trailers) of the GKB-8385 type. The purpose was to carry out transportation tasks in the construction field, military and in almost all areas of agricultural and industrial activity.

The 5320 entered production in 1968. For a long time, the Kama Automobile Plant produced this model without changing the size of the KAMAZ body and the style of execution. The first changes (mostly cosmetic) to the truck model occurred only in 2000.

If we consider the technical parameters of the car, it will become clear that it is excellent for transporting a variety of cargo both short and long distances. The tractor feels confident on city roads, and on country and intercity routes. This machine is ideally adapted to the conditions of Russia, so it starts easily in severe frosts and has good cross-country ability in mud and slush.

Model 5320 was exported to more than forty foreign countries, thereby earning popularity abroad, not limited to the domestic market, despite the fact that the model was initially created for the needs of domestic consumers.

Model 5320 is a KAMAZ cargo tractor with sides, the body size of which allows it to be used as a road train when transporting various cargoes. It also became famous because many many models were built on its basis for transporting medium-tonnage (medium-tonnage) cargo.

SpecificationsValue

What is the volume of the KamAZ dump truck body? - 12 m3

All-wheel drive vehicle 65111 is a device with increased cross-country ability. Its load capacity is 14,000 kg. So, KamAZ dump truck body volume table, it also includes data on the dimensions of special equipment.

SpecificationsValue

How many cubes are in the back of a KamAZ dump truck 65111? - 8.2 m3

In order to calculate how many cubic meters of sand are in a KamAZ dump truck, you need to know the load capacity of the device, the capacity of the body, and the humidity of the bulk material. This knowledge is necessary for customers to be confident that contractors are delivering sand in full. You also need to take into account the bulk density of sand, it is equal to 1.6 tons per m3.

For example, if the weight of sand is 9.6 tons, then only 6 cubic meters of products will fit in the body. The volume of the KamAZ dump truck body in cubes, taking into account sand, will be equal to 9.6 tons / 1.6 tons = m3. If the density of the sand is much denser, for example, 1.8 tons per m3, then only 5.% m3 of sand will fit into the back of a 10-ton dump truck. The sand density value can be found in the document, which the driver must have.

Be sure to take into account the load-carrying capacity of the structure; the device can have a capacity of 6 m3, 8 m3, 10 m3, 12 m3, 20 and 25 m3.

Examples of calculations for models:

• 6 m3 of sand, the density of which is 1600 kg/m3 (on average), weighs 1600 x 6 = 9600 kg or 9.6 tons.
• 8 m3 of sand, the density of which is 1600 kg/m3, weighs 1600 x 8 = 12800 kg or 12.8 tons.
• 10 m3—1600 x 10=16000 kg or 16 tons.
• 12 m3—1600 x 12=19200 kg or 19.2 tons.
• 20 m3 of sand – 1600 x 20 = 32000 kg or 32 tons.
• 25 m3 of sand – 1600 x 25 = 40000 kg or 40 tons.

The density of sand does not have an exact indicator, since it varies and depends on the presence of impurities and the degree of humidity.

Before purchasing a vehicle for such a dangerous task, buyers are interested in how wide the KamAZ is, what is included in the special equipment, what is the track width of the KamAZ, and other questions.

Companies selling this equipment inform about all the characteristics, features, advantages and disadvantages.

Dump truck KamAZ-5511

This was in October 1977. The joint efforts of developers from Naberezhnye Chelny and engineers from Mytishchi, sent to help, were crowned with success. The first new dump truck rolled off the assembly line of the Kama Automobile Plant, the prototype of which was the ZIL-170 model. The bright yellow ten-ton truck with a voluminous body rested on three pairs of wheels, the rear of which were double. This made it possible to significantly increase the axial load.

The latest technical developments were used in the design. For example, special headlights that emit asymmetrical beams that do not hit oncoming drivers in the eyes. Or flashing turn signal lights that are activated in emergency situations.

The unit was produced until 1990, and then the designers improved it a little: they replaced the diesel engine with a more powerful turbocharged model, enlarged the body, adding a tailgate, and also installed springs. The result was a thirteen-ton KamAZ-55111 dump truck, which the company produced until 2011. These two models, differing by just one number in the name, are very similar. They are easy to confuse, especially from a distance.

Purpose

Using this machine, you can transport up to ten tons of construction materials, as well as any other loose cargo. For example, it could be garbage waste, snow, soil. The KamAZ-5511 performed well at construction sites, during landscaping, and in agricultural work.

Good off-road capability allows a dump truck to pass even where another vehicle would inevitably get stuck. Moreover, he can work in any climatic conditions. A convenient unloading mechanism allows you to quickly unload the body. It takes less than twenty seconds to raise or lower it. Photo of KamAZ-5511 dump truck

Advantages and disadvantages

Positive traits:

• Excellent cross-country ability (even in the forest the car drives without difficulty) and large load capacity.
• Not a very high price (compared to, say, foreign analogues).
• Availability of repair kits for almost all components of the device.
• Spacious cabin, good visibility through the mirrors.
• Reliable and simple design, ease of control, absence of electronics, which often fail at the wrong time.

Negative qualities:

• Weak diesel. It does not have a very long service life, and it consumes a fair amount of fuel.
• Stiff suspension, which causes the car to shake on bumps, especially if you drive fast. Due to vibration, connections become loose, gaps appear, and knocking occurs.

Variety of models

Today, many different KAMAZ models have been developed and produced, due to the fact that the vehicle has proven itself in all areas of application with its power, efficiency and increased reliability. Among the onboard models there are: dump trucks, panel carriers (long lengths), container carriers and tractors. There are many other modifications, for example, concrete mixers or cranes and others. Our instructions are about the Kamaz onboard body, so we will dwell on the onboard models in more detail. KamAZ-5320 is a typical representative of onboard modifications; it is one of the most popular and the first representatives of trucks from the Kama plant. This onboard model is used with trailers of the GKB-8385 model. It was intended for use in the construction and military fields, however, it turned out to be in demand in the industrial and agricultural fields.

Dimensions of the popular model 5320

The KAMAZ-5320 entered serial production in 1968. For a long time, the Kama Automobile Plant did not change the shape of the car, the style of execution remained unchanged. The first changes were cosmetic, which began only in 2000. According to its technical characteristics, this vehicle is suitable for transporting any cargo over long and short distances. Kamaz tractors confidently move on city roads, country roads and intercity routes. The vehicles are ideally suited to harsh Russian conditions; they start easily even in severe frosts, plus excellent cross-country ability in mud and slush, making them competitive with their foreign counterparts. Kamaz trucks are exported to foreign countries (more than forty countries) and have long earned popularity abroad after conquering the domestic market, although initially the vehicles were conceived exclusively for the needs of their country. Excellent maintainability, allows you to eliminate minor faults with your own hands. The KamAZ 5320 flatbed body is a tractor - the dimensions of the body allow it to be used as a road train when transporting special cargo. Kamaz gained fame and popularity thanks to the many models produced on its basis for large- and medium-tonnage transportation.

Device

Body

This bucket-type metal part is equipped with a protective visor that covers the cab. Steel sheets forming the bottom are welded to the frame that serves as the base. To make it convenient to empty the cargo, it is slightly widened, and the front side of the body is inclined. And to prevent the cargo from freezing to the bottom in cold weather, there is a body heating system. It runs on exhaust gases. They enter through holes made in the cross member located in front of the subframe.

The subframe is connected to the frame using brackets and ties. The body is raised and lowered hydraulically. The tipping mechanism is equipped with brackets with locking pins that hold the body firmly raised. And to prevent it from turning over, it is insured by a special cable with a spring.

The hydraulic drive of the lifting mechanism contains:

• A single-stage power take-off box operating from a car gearbox. It is controlled electro-pneumatically - this is done directly from the cabin.
• A hydraulic cylinder with three stages of a telescopic type, mounted on hinges between the front side and the subframe. The maximum elevation angle is 60 degrees. This triggers the limit valve.
• Three pneumatic-electric valves and a pneumatic piping system.
• Oil reservoir, pump, oil lines and control valve.

Engine

There is a “branded” KAMAZ engine without turbocharging with 210 horsepower. It runs on diesel fuel and has eight cylinders arranged in a “V” formation. A closed-type cooling system is used, which requires constant forced supply of a special liquid (antifreeze). This system has two thermostats, and the fan drive is equipped with an automatic fluid coupling.

Frame and axles

The design of the stamped frame is based on channel spars and cross members. There is a buffer at the front. The rear cross member has a towing eye, and the front ends of the side members end in tow hooks.

Transmission and chassis

The gearbox (of the fourteenth model) is mechanical, gear, with five steps. The clutch housing (dry, double-disc) is attached to the front end of its housing. The main gear consists of two stages containing cylindrical and bevel gears.

The front suspension is made on two longitudinal springs with sliding rear ends. Pins with rubber bushings connect the suspension shock absorbers to the car frame. The rear suspension is equipped with a balancer with one axle, which is pressed into its bracket. The wheels, the rear of which are double, are of a three-component, discless type.

Brakes

In addition to the main (working) brake system, there are three more: spare, auxiliary and parking. They work autonomously. The pneumatically controlled dual-circuit working system operates separately on the rear bogie and front axle. It is started by a pedal. If it fails, a lever activates the backup system, which only affects the rear bogie. Parking brakes are part of it.

To unload the main system and cool it, an auxiliary system is used that uses a gas-dynamic mechanism in the exhaust device. It cuts off the fuel supply and the car slows down smoothly. The dump truck also has an emergency brake release drive.

Steering

The longitudinal rod of the car steering wheel is forged, and the transverse rod is hollow. They are equipped with ball joints. To facilitate turning, a hydraulic booster with a vane gear pump and a spool-type valve is used. The pump drive is powered by the engine crankshaft. Overall dimensions of KamAZ 5511

Cabin

This model has a sprung cabin, mounted on a frame, designed for two seats. It can be tilted forward using a torsion mechanism - this is done for easy maintenance of the motor. Triplex windows roll down and the windows rotate. The floor and walls are covered with sound-insulating materials. There is heating and ventilation.

Electrics

Two series batteries are connected in parallel to a three-phase 800-watt generator. The negative from the batteries goes through the switch to the housing. A single wire system provides 24 volts.
