KAMAZ-6522 dumper

At present, for the needs of consumers of OJSC KAMAZ, a model of a heavy dump truck KamAZ-6522 is produced. A distinctive feature of this model is a four-wheel drive, as in army cars with increased terrain. The development of this car is due to the difficult road conditions, as a rule, existing in the mining areas of various minerals, as well as in the construction sites. Externally, this car has a noticeable similarity with the KamAZ-6520 model, standing out with a higher height due to differences in the front driving bridge.

A large percentage of components is supplied by leading manufacturers. For example, the supplier of the gearbox and transfer case is the company. Thus, it was possible to increase the reliability of the KAMAZ-6522 dump truck, while the price remained at an acceptable level, without significantly reducing profitability in operation in virtually all fields of application. The ZF model 16S151 of the gearbox has 16 stages to provide greater optimality in the load on the engine, depending on road conditions. However, it is necessary to note some inconvenience in using the lever during switching, especially on the 7th and 8th gear, regardless of the position of the divider.

Also among the features of the KamAZ-6522 model it is necessary to note the use of the front bridge of the firm "Madara" (Bulgaria), the design of which is the use of double cardan joints. The choice as a front axle of a foreign manufacturer's product became a compulsory measure, since there is no own structure with the required load capacity.

The complex of research and development works, the study of the experience of operating previous models, as well as of cars produced by other manufacturers, made it possible to significantly improve the KamAZ-6522. Technical characteristics of the dump truck, even with a brief review, allow a generally positive assessment.

It is equipped with modern and reliable KAMAZ engines, the power of which, depending on the configuration, varies from 320 to 400 hp, the engines correspond to the EURO-3 norm according to environmental indicators. At full load, the maximum speed does not exceed 90 km / h. The elevation angle to be overcome is up to 25 °, the turning radius is 11.5 meters. In the loaded condition, the KamAZ-6522 mass is 13.95 tons, the carrying capacity is up to 19 tons. The closed part of the platform volume is 12 m3, lifting equipment allows to raise the platform by 50 °.

As a vehicle for the transport of loose goods, this machine has a high appeal for potential buyers. Firstly, this is due to good capacities for load-carrying capacity and body-platform volume. Secondly, all-wheel drive allows you to operate the car on a variety of roads, regardless of climatic conditions. Direct competition of the products of KAMAZ Inc. is made only by the cars of the Minsk Automobile Plant, as they have comparable price indicators and service life. However, KAMAZ vehicles are more widespread and the model range is larger. In conclusion, it should be noted that today's market has already allowed to find the KamAZ-6522 dump truck of its consumers.
