Kamaz width - dimensions of various models, calculation of dimensions

When you mention the word “KAMAZ”, many will say that this is a truck with a carrying capacity of 10-12 tons, a body volume of approximately 32 cubic meters. m. and standard linear parameters: about 6.5-7 meters long, up to 2.2 meters high and up to 2.5 meters wide. However, such a length, height and width of a KamAZ vehicle are only something average, and in fact the dimensions, such as volume and load capacity, can vary greatly between different models. It all depends on the model - for what purpose and for transporting what cargo it is intended.

The large body size and dimensions of KamAZ make the vehicle popular even today, when there are many models from foreign manufacturers on the market. The vehicle can transport large and heavy loads, while the truck is characterized by good maneuverability and high reliability: it will not get stuck in the mud on a construction site, and will ensure performance even when operating in harsh conditions (at subzero temperatures, bad weather).

Let's look at the general characteristics of KamaAZ vehicles, the models that are the most popular.

Dimensions and volume of the body of various KamAZ models

Mechanical engineers produce several modifications of special equipment with distinctive characteristics, the main ones are listed in the table.

Parameters of various models of special equipment

To make the right choice when ordering special equipment, it is not enough to know the dimensions of the body, as well as the amount of cargo being transported. It is also necessary to take into account the correspondence between cubic capacity and mass, which are individual in each specific case.

Cabin and design

As befits all KamAZ trucks, modification 43114 has a standard cab arrangement, which is mounted above the power plant. In addition, the cabin is equipped with air suspension. Lighting fixtures and side marker lights are also available. It is commendable that the front light optics of the KamAZ-43114 are equipped with a special buffer, which acts as protection.

The KamAZ-43114 cargo platform itself is made of high-quality metal material and has a folding design. Pneumatic tires with a tube and rims also deserve special attention.

Due to the many different systems and folding sides, operating the truck does not cause any problems. Loading and unloading are greatly facilitated, and thanks to high-quality materials, durability increases.

Types of dump trucks

Structurally, there are several types of equipment for transporting heavy construction materials, depending on the weight of the cargo:

• small – up to 2 tons;
• medium - up to 10 tons;
• heavy - up to 30 tons.

In the direction of unloading:

• lateral (left/right);
• back;
• 3-sided.

The second type of body is the most common, the third is more used in the agricultural sector for transporting crops.

According to body shape:

• rectangular;
• trough;
• ladle;
• scoop.

The main working brands are Zily, Mazy, with a carrying capacity of 4 - 8 tons, they are most often used to deliver cargo to the population. The weight parameters allow them to be used on any road, even in extreme heat. As a rule, they are used for transporting sand, earth, crushed stone, asphalt, and removal of construction and household waste.

During transportation, the fluidity of the cargo, its structure, and flowability must be taken into account, and then the body type is selected. A prerequisite for transportation is tightness, otherwise losses along the way are guaranteed, and this is the client’s money.

To increase maneuverability, vehicles with a short wheelbase of 3300 mm are often used. They are more maneuverable in tight spaces and have a small turning angle. But on slippery roads in winter they are not stable and are prone to skidding and overturning. The optimal choice is for machines with a wheelbase of 3800 mm; they are safer and more maneuverable.

KamAZ trucks are also used for these purposes; modern models have a load capacity of 18,500 kg and a body volume of 11 cubic meters. Such vehicles are actively used when delivering large volumes of cargo during construction work.

Transportation of goods by dump trucks is economically justified and in demand, and has only positive advantages.

Reliability of fire fighting tankers - what are their sizes?

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.

An important point remains the question of what are the dimensions of a Kamaz fire truck:

• Gross weight – 20900 kg;
• Load capacity – 12000 kg;
• Maximum speed – 90 km/h;
• Engine power – 300 hp;
• Length – 8.7 m;
• Height – 3.2 m.

For firefighters, a dangerous profession, every small detail is important, for example, down to the width of the cab of a Kamaz vehicle, where they should be during the trip.

This modern technology is available in the following configurations:

• They produce 2-wheel drive, 3-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, with additional spare wheels installed on them in the amount of two to six (suspended).
• high carrying capacity of the vehicle, capable of carrying firefighters and their equipment (up to 30 tons) to any distance and terrain.
• has one-glass or two-glass varieties.
• installed frame length from 470 to 810 centimeters.

Fire truck chassis are also used for military purposes. Therefore, the design of this special equipment is distinguished by high quality developments, equipped with all parts and technologies, good computer equipment, as well as a modern engine.

Crankshaft size

The size of the Kamaz crankshaft allows it to travel to the most polluted, uneven, and very rough terrain.

Semi trailer size

The dimensions of the KAMAZ semi-trailer, which can also be called a “tank”, where water (other liquid) is transported to extinguish the flame, has a capacity of three to twelve tons and can withstand temperatures from minus 40 degrees to plus 40 degrees Celsius in the sun.

Rules for calculating the weight and volume of various materials

The bodies of special equipment indicate the weight and capacity of KamAZ that can be transported. With loads that have a constant mass (equipment, machinery, etc.), everything is very clear. When it comes to bulk materials, it can sometimes be difficult to determine their true mass. This is due to the degree of humidity and density. In this case, it is the bulk density that is taken into account (i.e., without compaction).

Having made the necessary calculations, it is easier to select a car of the required cubic capacity with the maximum permissible tonnage. Knowledge of these parameters allows you to use dump trucks more profitably and not drive them underloaded.

Video

Production of the model lasted more than 10 years. Since 2008, the Kama Automobile Plant began to gradually reduce the volume of truck production, replacing it with the more modern KamAZ 5350.

The model has a number of features that distinguish it from other representatives of this segment. Thus, KamAZ 43114 fully complies with the stringent requirements for military equipment. Its design includes a winch that allows you to get out of impassable terrain. The model works with various loads (large objects, bulk materials) and confidently withstands significant temperature changes. Other advantages of the truck include:

• increased service resource;
• low fuel consumption;
• modern appearance;
• compliance with international environmental standards;
• long interval between technical inspections.

Optionally, KamAZ 43114 is equipped with the following equipment:

• removable awning;
• frame;
• benches for transporting passengers.

KamAZ 43114 is an unpretentious and proven vehicle. Its reliability is evidenced by the fact that the model participated in the Dakar Rally as a technical support vehicle.

Features of the calculations of weight and volume

In each calculated case, the ratio of volume and mass is individual. Therefore, knowledge about the amount of cargo transported and the dimensions of the vehicle is not enough for an accurate answer. The equipment indicates the permissible load, the number of cubes placed and the weight of the cargo in each KamAZ. If it is clear with a product whose characteristics do not change during its service life, then with bulk materials the situation is more complicated.

The true weight of bulk solids is affected by moisture in the air, as well as the density characteristics of each material individually. Remember, the calculation takes into account bulk density, since the effect of compaction on the properties of each material is different. You can also read about KamAZ all-terrain vehicle.

Cabin of KamAZ-43114 truck

The cabin, like on all other KamAZ trucks, is located above the engine. On KamAZ-43114 it is higher both in its location and in its internal space. The cabin is three-seater, equipped with a brake lever and hydraulic lift. In civilian versions there are versions of the car with an extended cabin equipped with a sleeping place.

Determination of volume

Sometimes we don’t even think about how much a cube of this or that material weighs, for example, crushed stone or sand. However, to calculate the cost of transportation services, road carriers use an indicator that characterizes the weight of the cargo.

How many cubes of a particular material will fit in a KAMAZ truck depends on various factors. Among them the most important can be identified:

• Vehicle modification. For each model, the maximum load capacity values ​​are determined in cubic meters or tons;
• Type of material transported. Each of them has certain characteristics: density, humidity, fraction, etc. As a result, different materials will require different volumes for the same weight.

Knowing all the necessary data, you can make the calculations yourself. The table calculates the mass density of some materials that are most often transported on KAMAZ vehicles.

Sand

When transporting sand, its type is of particular importance. Most often the following are transported in the back of a KAMAZ:

• Dry sand;
• Building;
• Construction dry friable;
• Construction dry compacted;
• Career.

The bulk density of each of them varies from 1200 to 1700 kg/cubic meter. Thus, to transport 10 tons of sand, a platform with a volume of 12 to 17 cubic meters will be required.

Crushed stone

Transporting crushed stone also requires careful calculation to select the optimal truck. To do this, it is necessary to take into account the fraction of the building material. The bulk density indicator depends on it.

The following types of crushed stone are used on construction sites:

• Granite fraction from 20 to 250 mm. Its density will vary from 1370 to 1400 kg per cubic meter;
• Limestone fraction from 10 to 70 mm. The bulk density of such building materials varies from 1250 to 1330 kg/cubic meter;
• Crushed gravel offers a wide range of fractions. Its bulk density will be from 1600 to 1730 kilograms per cubic meter;
• Slag with a density of 800 kg/m3;
• Expanded clay fraction from 5 to 40 mm. For it, it is necessary to select a dump truck based on a density from 210 kg per cubic meter to 450;
• Secondary, which is characterized by a density in the range of 1200 - 3000 kg/cubic meter.

Land for the plot

In addition to building materials, KAMAZ trucks are used to transport land for summer cottages. This need arises when carrying out work on landscaping a personal or local area or registering a land plot. As with other materials, in this case the maximum volume of transported cargo depends on its density. On average, one KAMAZ can deliver from 5 to 7 tons of earth to your site.

Firewood

Thanks to the design features of the platform, KAMAZ is perfectly suited for transporting timber. Depending on the modification of the KAMAZ dump truck, one vehicle can load from 25 to 45 cubic meters of logs.

If you use KAMAZ to transport sawn firewood, then one vehicle will be able to transport from 5 to 7 cubic meters of logs. This indicator is influenced by the shape of the cut and the option of laying firewood in the car body.

About the manufacturer

All specified vehicles have the unloading direction – Back.

KAMAZ grain trucks

The car is built on the KAMAZ-65207-S5 chassis and equipped with a metal platform. Due to its design features, this vehicle is used exclusively for transporting grain.

The vehicle is equipped with the following components:

• The platform is steel, box-type with rigidly installed side posts;
• Three-sided unloading, characterized by the presence of three side (left, right side) upper blind, lower, which open in the direction from bottom to top, sides;
• Rear module consisting of:

o upper side, opening towards the left or downwards. It is designed for loading the KAMAZ body with a special grain thrower;

o middle side installed on canopies. A removable side option is possible;

o the lower side, which opens from the bottom up and at the same time as the top side.

Other design features of the grain truck include the presence of a stationary platform with a folding ladder. There are special railings with steps on the middle and upper sides. This ensures the driver’s safety while reeling up the canopy and unhindered access to the inside of the body. Another staircase is located directly inside the body. For reliability and safety of cargo, this model uses eccentric side locking mechanisms (Hildebrand type).

The volume of the platform is, depending on the height of the side:

• 1700 mm – 33 cubes;
• 1900 mm – 37 cubic meters;
• 2100 mm - 40.5 cubic meters.

The carrying capacity of the KAMAZ grain truck is declared by the manufacturer at the level of 13630 kg.

Flatbed vehicles

Since we are talking about the cubic capacity of KamAZ vehicles, we should note the KamAZ model - 65207-87 (S5). The volume of its cargo platform is 48.3 cubic meters, and its load capacity is 14,725 kg. The car has a tented body. This arrangement allows loading from the sides, rear and top.

This vehicle is designed for the transportation of large, non-bulk cargo, ideal for transporting light, but at the same time bulky cargo.

Isothermal and manufactured goods vans

Isothermal vans are designed for transporting goods with a certain temperature regime.

Isothermal vans are made of sandwich panels and have thickened walls.

Concrete mixer trucks

Similar models are used for transporting ready-mixed concrete to the site of construction work while maintaining the characteristics and qualities of the building material and for unloading directly to the laying site or into concrete pumps.

KamAZ offers 21 modifications of concrete mixer trucks, which differ in the volume of the water tank, the load capacity of the concrete mixture and the capacity of the mixing drum for the output of the finished mixture. This determines how much concrete can be transported in the mixer.

Thus, the manufacturer offers models with water tank volume in two versions: 650 liters and 800 liters. Load capacity for concrete mixture ranges from 8.2 tons to 24.5 tons. And the volume of the mixing tank for the output of the finished mixture is minimal - 5 cubic meters, maximum 12 cubic meters.

General characteristics of KamAZ semi-trailers

Nefaz produces PP with the following parameters:

• wheel options 2×4, 2×8, 3×6;
• body volume from 20.5 to 91 cubic meters;
• The carrying capacity of the KamAZ semi-trailer is from 9 to 44 tons.

Trailers and PP are made in a universal design and can be used for installation on a body platform of any design, regardless of the type of engine, gasoline or diesel.

But there are varieties that are developed and produced specifically for transporting containers, tanks, and refrigerators.

Semi-trailers at Russian factories are produced taking into account the quality of roads in the country.

Most often, a chassis with a platform is offered.

Purpose and benefits

The KamAZ semi-trailer is different:

• increased load capacity;
• large platform sizes;
• increased service life and high quality of axles;
• maintainability: any spare parts, for example, pins, rear fender, plastic caps for taps, can be found in the KAMAZ catalog from the manufacturer or dealer.

Exceptional characteristics in terms of semi-trailer load capacity, wear resistance, and convenient platform configuration contribute to the versatility of PP applications.

PJSC "Nefaz" produces semi-trailers for:

• construction companies;
• Agriculture;
• transport enterprises transporting products, manufactured goods;
• oil refineries.

Design Features

In 2022, the company released a line of semi-trailers with four axles. Such PPs are used in coupling with truck tractors with a 4×2 wheel arrangement. These road trains can transport up to 44 tons of cargo.

Another feature is the lifting front and rear axles of the auxiliary vehicle, which reduces the fuel consumption of the KamAZ semi-trailer.

Additionally, we highlight several general improvements to the software:

• most models are equipped with a reinforced frame at the transition point of the knurling plate to the spar;
• the central spars in the area of ​​the support device have a double lower flange of an I-beam;
• anti-slip corrugated steel decking;
• for off-road use, a support device with two degrees of lift has been developed (from the handle and manually);
• reinforced drawbar for trailers;
• energy storage parking brake, responsible for releasing the brakes;
• equipped with tie-down loops as standard;
• two positions of the coupling pin (for coupling with and without a crane-manipulator);
• protection in the form of a removable grille for lights and dimensions;
• 15PIN, 2×7PIN electrical connectors are installed;
• the presence of retractable signs indicating oversized cargo.

How many cubic meters of sand are in KamAZ?

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.

How many cubes of crushed stone can fit in a KamAZ truck?

How many cubes of crushed stone in a KamAZ dump truck - calculation features.

1. A vehicle with a carrying capacity of 15 tons will deliver:
   Crushed stone with a density of 1300 kg/m3 is only 10 m3, this is due to the limitations of the body size: 15 tons / 1300 kg/m3 = 11.5 m3.
2. Crushed granite 10 m3, this is due to restrictions on the size of the body: 15 tons / 1470 kg/m3 = 10.2 m3.

If crushed stone has a high bulk density, then its moisture content will increase, which will lead to the fact that a smaller volume of material can be transported. How many tons of crushed stone is in a KamAZ dump truck with high moisture? 8-9 m3.

3. The device, with a lifting capacity of 7.7 tons and a platform volume of 6 m3, will deliver:
   Limestone crushed stone, the density of which is 1300 kg/m3, is about 6 m3: 7.7 tons / 1300 kg/m3 = 5.9 m3.
4. Granite crushed stone with a density of 1470 kg/m3 is only about 5 m3: 7.7 tons / 1470 kg/m3 = 5.2 m3.
5. A vehicle with a carrying capacity of 25 tons and a platform volume of 20 m3 will deliver:
   Crushed stone with a density of 1300 kg/m3 about 19 m3: 25 tons / 1300 kg/m3 = 19.2 m3.
6. Crushed stone, the filling of which is 1470 kg/m3, is only 17 m3: 25 tons / 1470 kg/m3 = 17 m3.

The calculation of how much crushed stone is in a KamAZ dump truck is carried out necessarily taking into account the capacity of the body, the load capacity of the device, as well as the bulk density of crushed stone.

• 6 m3 x 1470 kg/m3 = 8.82 tons, a truck with a body size of 6 m3 will deliver 7.7 tons.
• 8 m3 x 1470 kg/m3 = 11.76 tons, only for 8 or 10 m3 vehicles.
• 10 m3 x 1470 kg/m3 = 14.7 tons, for a body of 10 m3.
• 12 m3 x 1470 kg/m3 = 17.6 tons, body milking 12 m3.

How many cubic meters of land are there in a KamAZ dump truck?

The calculation of how many cubic meters of earth are in a KamAZ dump truck also depends on the carrying capacity of the special equipment, its capacity and the volume of the black soil itself. The machine places 7 to 8 m3 of earth or black soil in its body. Please note: soil, soil and black soil have the same density. How many cubic meters of soil are there in a KamAZ dump truck if the soil is piled high? Another plus two cubic meters is added.

Firewood and expanded clay capacity

The cubic capacity of the KamAZ dump truck allows it to accommodate 6.5-7 cubic meters of firewood. They are most often transported to private homes, whose owners order logs for heating during the onset of cold weather. 6.5-7 cubic meters of firewood, provided that the logs are split. If they are round, then they take up more space, and only 5 cubic meters of firewood will fit in the KamAZ.

As for expanded clay, this material is stored in the form of cones.

The volume of the cone is calculated using the following formula: n x R^2 x H/3, where n is the stable value of 3.1415, R is the radius of the embankment, H is its height.

There is also another way to calculate: multiply the height, length and width of the body.

If the sides of the body are slightly sloping, then it’s worth subtracting a few cubes from the resulting result. That is, in order to calculate how many cubes of expanded clay in KamAZ, you just need to multiply the dimensions of the structure and you will get the result.

Flatbed trucks - Kamaz

A little earlier, people got used to transporting agricultural products (grain, fruits, vegetables, etc.) on trucks (they used KamAZ 5320), the body dimensions of which were inconvenient:

• Gross weight – 18225 kg;
• Load capacity – 8000 kg;
• Maximum speed – 80 km/h;
• Engine power – 250 hp;
• Length – 8.53 m;
• Height – 3.36 m.

The width of the Kamaz flatbed body was standard (at that time) large sizes:

• Gross weight – 15305 kg;
• Load capacity – 9000 kg;
• Maximum speed – 80 km/h;
• Engine power – 225 hp;
• Length – 7.435 m;
• Height – 3.36 m.

Now the KAMAZ agricultural truck, the body dimensions of which are presented in a more compact version, is very popular (model 45144), as it was developed using modern technologies:

• Gross weight – 25200 kg;
• Load capacity – 14200 kg;
• Maximum speed – 80 km/h;
• Engine power – 260 hp;
• Length – 8.5 m;
• Height – 3 m.

Frame width

The width of the KamAZ frame also allows you to drive even the highest crops, since it carries a fairly high weight - 33,000 kg;

• Load capacity – 23600 kg;
• Maximum speed – 80 km/h;
• Engine power – 294-400 hp;
• Length – 7.71 m;
• Height – 3.01 m.

How many Cubes are in KamAZ Dump Truck Models 53111, 6520

To find out the amount of m3 in a Kamaz dump truck of manure, soil, sand, gravel, snow and other materials, we estimate the capacity of the standard 13-ton 53111 and the 20-ton version 6520. Kamaz is the most common dump truck in Russia, and indeed in all CIS countries , it can be found at almost every construction site. Naturally, potential customers are interested in how much bulk materials, firewood, construction waste and all sorts of bricks will fit into the back of a given truck.

The standard volume of the KamAZ-55111 model dump truck is 6.6 cubic meters. That is, if the load is small, for example sand, then about 6 cubic meters will fit into the body. But if we are talking about transporting firewood and bricks, then we must remember that the machine has a carrying capacity of only 13 tons. Accordingly, the old Kamaz, especially with a dead engine, simply cannot transport too much cargo.

The dimensions of the KamAZ 5511 Dump Truck are presented in the table:

SpecificationsValue

There is also KAMAZ-6520, which is newer, its sides have been increased to 20 cubic meters, and its load capacity is also 20 tons. So, the result of how many cubes are in a dump truck can be seen in the table, different materials are calculated by density and weight, the table will be presented below.

Weight parameters and loads of KamAZ 6520:

• Vehicle curb weight, kg — 12950
• load on the front axle, kg - 5230
• load on the rear trolley, kg - 7720
• Car load capacity, kg - 14400 (20000*)
• Gross vehicle weight, kg …………………………………………………… 27500 (33100*)
• load on the front axle, kg - 7500
• load on the rear bogie, kg - 20000 (25600)

Profitable business with a concrete truck - KAMAZ with a concrete mixer

Many enterprises selling concrete materials require the purchase of special vehicles.

These are KAMAZ concrete mixers that have a number of important characteristics for business prosperity:

• The dimensions of the KAMAZ concrete truck are sufficient for companies to deliver concrete to the required area for construction.
• The width of the KAMAZ concrete mixer is thought out to the smallest detail - the machine can drive onto any construction site or turn around on it.
• The width of the Kamaz wheelbase will facilitate entry and exit from any construction site, even when it is completely covered with sand, clay or other similar natural materials.

General parameters, for example, of the modern “Mixer 53229”, thanks to which you can perform all actions:

• Gross weight – 25200 kg;
• Load capacity – 12800 kg;
• Maximum speed – 90 km/h;
• Engine power – 270-300 hp;
• Length – 8.5 m;
• Height – 3.6 m.

The second name of this machine was discovered only recently. Nowadays they are also called “Kamaz-mixers”. Thanks to them, developers are building houses entirely from concrete mixtures that can last for a hundred years or more.

Until recently, builders used so-called “dump trucks” for transportation. But the width of the body of the KamAZ 55111 dump truck (2500 m), which is the most common, did not have very convenient dimensions:

• Gross weight – 19000 kg;
• Load capacity – 10000 kg;
• Maximum speed – 90 km/h;
• Engine power – 210 hp;
• Length – 6.68 m;
• Height – 2.74 m.

These parameters did not allow the car to turn around in narrow streets or small construction sites. This factor caused a lot of inconvenience.

The width of the Kamaz dump truck was also calculated using the mirrors (which protruded - sticking out wider than the possible road width of 2500 m). They repeatedly touched electrical wires, which led to additional lighting repairs at the construction site.

The peculiarity of the operation of a modern KAMAZ mixer is its ability to work while transporting concrete, delivering it from point “A” (for example, the company from which the material was ordered) to point “B” (to the building area).

Tips for choosing a KamAZ dump truck

When choosing a machine for a specific job, it is advisable to consider the following factors:

• Technical characteristics: load capacity and body volume. Sometimes high cross-country ability and maneuverability are important, as well as the type of unloading (where the body is tipped).
• In winter, it is recommended to check whether the platform is equipped with heating.
• According to the parameters of the vehicle, it is necessary to calculate how much material can be delivered per trip - this is necessary for planning the work.
• When hiring long-term, you need to check the technical condition of the dump truck so as not to take a car that will break down in a few months.
• Comfort: the cabin needs heating and air conditioning, ergonomic seats with adjustments.

Operating experience, reviews about the car

Feedback from the owners of these KamAZ trucks, as well as from those who worked on them, can be summarized as follows. Firstly, KamAZ-43114 are extremely reliable vehicles, the diesel engines in them are not capricious and trouble-free (if you look after them properly, of course). The vehicle certainly provides reliable cross-country ability in almost any seasonal, climatic and natural conditions. If necessary, it is possible to use all three locks at once, connect the total power of the three bridges - and go!

Good control on any type of road and off-road surfaces is ensured thanks to automatic wheel inflation. Visibility from the cockpit is simply excellent, those sitting in the cockpit are high up and can see everything around them, both close up and in the distance, wonderful. The heater is a beast, the power steering always works flawlessly.

Everyone is also unanimous in assessing the shortcomings of KamAZ-43114. This is a complete lack of comfort, a cabin sensitive to unevenness on hard shock absorbers. In such a cabin, during a long trip you get tired, you get the feeling that “your whole soul has been shaken out.” Although, on the other hand, this is originally a car for war and for work in harsh climatic conditions, and not for pleasant trips in comfort.

Dimensions

All KamAZ 43114 are manufactured on the same platform, the wheelbase of which is 334 centimeters. However, the overall dimensions of different versions have some differences. So, the dimensions of the flatbed truck (in centimeters):

• length – 773.0;
• height – 337.5;
• width – 267.0;
• ground clearance - 36.0;
• outer turning radius – 1130.

For cargo platform:

• length – 489.2;
• width – 247.0;
• side height – 73.0;
• loading height – 153.5.

The length of the universal modification is 10 centimeters less.

Modifications

After 1990, a modification of the truck appeared. Main changes:

• the diesel engine was replaced with a more advanced turbo engine;
• the body has become more voluminous thanks to a change in the tailgate;
• springs were installed.

The modernized KamAZ 55111 became more lifting: it could transport up to 13 tons. However, outwardly it can easily be confused with KamAZ 5511.

Transmission and brakes

The KamAZ 43114 vehicle uses a 10-speed manual gearbox with a dry 2-disc friction clutch and a differential lock. The manual transmission is controlled mechanically and remotely.

In addition, the truck is equipped with a 2-speed transfer case and leaf spring suspension.

The car's brakes are represented by a pneumatic drum-type system, where the diameter of the drums is 400 mm. A pair of rechargeable batteries and a 28 V generator are responsible for electrical supply.

Design features

The 55111 series truck is equipped with a durable frame, which is connected to a system of beams and side members with special fasteners. Reliable operation of on-board systems and mechanisms is ensured by hydraulics, which includes such elements as:

• tank;
• hydraulic cylinder;
• oil and pneumatic drive;
• control valve;
• limiting valves;
• power take-off;
• pneumatic valves operating on electricity;
• oil pump.

Hydraulics are activated from the driver's cabin of KamAZ 55111.

The car chassis provides for the installation of lightweight wheels manufactured by ZIL. Design features include a spring suspension and a platform that has an all-metal structure, a heating system and a tilting mechanism for rear unloading, equipped with a remote control.

Price new and used

The cost of KamAZ 43114 is determined by mileage, equipment, year of manufacture and technical condition.
It is currently difficult to buy a new model, since the production of this modification is limited. The price tag for a “bare” chassis is about 2.07 million rubles. Used equipment in good condition will cost 1.4 million rubles. Renting a hydraulic lift based on KamAZ 43114 will cost 19,500 rubles per shift, and a pit drill – 14,000 rubles per shift. It is these two modifications that are in greatest demand.

Truck chassis

All wheels of the KamAZ-55111 dump truck are disc wheels, with rim sizes 7.5-20 (190-508)08. Tube tires, pneumatic, sizes – 10.00R20 (280R508) or 11.00 R20 (300 R508). Each wheel is equipped with drum-type brakes, with a drum diameter of 400 mm and a brake lining width of 140 mm. The front suspension consists of two semi-elliptic springs, which work together with two telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers and two hollow rubber compression buffers. The rear suspension is of the balancing type, with two semi-elliptic springs and reaction bars on rubber-metal hinges.

Engine

KamAZ 43114 is equipped exclusively with the KamAZ-740.31-240 diesel engine, which meets Euro-2 requirements. This overhead valve power plant has 8 cylinders with a V-shaped arrangement, liquid cooling, turbocharging and intercooling of charge air.

Characteristics of the KamAZ-740.31-240 unit:

• working volume – 10.85 l;
• rated power – 176 (240) kW (hp);
• standard rotation speed – 2200 rpm;
• maximum torque – 912 Nm;
• compression ratio – 16.5;
• cylinder diameter – 120 mm.

The KamAZ-740.31-240 engine has a long service life and high efficiency. A noise-insulating screen is installed on this unit, ensuring comfortable operation. Thanks to the heating function, starting the engine in the cold season becomes easier and smoother.

The new design of the exhaust system differs significantly from earlier models. Due to its well-thought-out structure, the device does not allow condensation to form, and also prevents water and precipitation from entering from the outside. This is also facilitated by the specific location of the exhaust pipe. The flow of exhaust gases is directed away from the air supply system, which minimizes clogging of the engine with soot and soot. The exhaust system itself includes an additional brake, connecting pipes, a muffler and a metal flexible hose.

Buy

Before purchasing a KAMAZ semi-trailer, you should decide which model to buy. After all, there is a truck with a manipulator or other devices. It is important to consider the scope of use of such equipment, the specifics of the product and other transportation features.

Of course, at the time of purchase it is worth finding out what the permissible total weight, volume, and so on are. The cost of the equipment also depends on such parameters.

Approximate cost of popular models:

• Semi-trailer NEFAZ 9509-016-30 - RUB 1,890,000;
• Main semi-trailer NEFAZ 93341-0600200-08 — RUB 1,590,000;
• Semi-trailer NEFAZ 9509-010-30 - RUB 1,850,000;
• Dump trailer 85300C — RUB 1,390,000;

• KAMAZ Grain truck on average from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000 rubles;
• KAMAZ-65205 and 65207, respectively, ranging from 3,900,000 to 6,000,000 and above.

Such vehicles should be purchased from reliable suppliers. Only then will you be confident in their quality and long service life.

Container ships

These KAMAZ trucks are piecework designs that have their own axles. Although, a small part of their weight is transferred to the tractor unit, to which they are connected thanks to a coupling device. Container ships include a semi-trailer of 9 meters, with the index 4326-9, 5410 and others.

The famous model is NEFAZ 93341-07 High Cube. This vehicle has a load capacity of up to 34,080 kg and air suspension.
