The KamAZ 65111 car is produced by the Kama Automobile Plant. The first machine was released in 2003, and now new modifications and standard machines are entering the market. The equipment is designed to work in difficult conditions, in the absence of a reliable foundation, etc. The 6x6 drive is one of the technical solutions that increases cross-country ability and has a positive effect on increasing the service life. Loading and unloading materials from the body, as well as transporting goods, can be carried out in any area. All these advantages of the KamAZ 65111, combined with its large load capacity, make it possible to effectively use it when working in a quarry, developing mineral deposits, in construction, public utilities, etc.
To ensure the stability of the equipment, a reduction in the center of gravity is provided, which is achieved by reducing the height of the sides. The platform can accommodate 8.2 m3 of cargo.
The car belongs to large-tonnage trucks. It can be equipped with various cabin options with or without a berth, as well as with different heights. Depending on the scope of application, the optimal option is determined, which increases the versatility of the KamAZ 65111 vehicle.

Driver's cabin
The standard Kamaz 65111 cab is equipped with three seats and has the ability to tilt forward. It is made of metal and installed directly above the power unit. It has thermal and sound insulation, which significantly reduces the noise level, but this indicator is much inferior to foreign analogues. A “sleeping bag” is installed in some versions of the cabin and is an option.
Compared to its predecessors, the interior has been improved. The interior space has become more spacious due to the increase in height. In addition, a sleeping place can be installed inside the KamAZ 65111 cab, which was impossible in previous versions. Thus, the scope of application of the vehicle is expanding; it can now transport cargo over long distances.
The instrument panel, gear shift lever and main controls are located ergonomically. There is no need to reach for them, they are all at hand. The operator's seat is anatomical and has several settings that allow you to choose the optimal position for each driver. The passenger seats are normal, they can move forward and backward, and also change the recline of the backrest.

By its design, KamAZ-65111 is a frame truck with a front-mounted engine and a cabover all-metal cab, the space between which and the body is protected by a visor. The car has all-wheel drive with a 6*6 wheel arrangement. The dump truck is produced with two types of cabins: low and high, differing in the absence or presence of a berth. The car's interior looks outdated, although in recent years the manufacturer has begun installing so-called Europanels. Visibility from the cab has also improved, but drivers still have complaints about the quality of the seats.
KamAZ-65111 is still in high demand; a new chassis can be purchased directly from the factory at a price of 3.5 to 5 million rubles. The cost of a dump truck 2012 – 2013 ranges from 1,700,000 to 2,500,000 rubles.
Steering and instrument panel
The steering wheel of the KamAZ 65111 truck is adjustable in two planes. Its diameter and thickness guarantee ease of operation and comfort, as in a passenger car. The successful placement of the pedals provides convenience and reduces the load on the driver. The cabin has a large number of storage compartments.

How to operate and maintain?
The ease of maintenance of the KamAZ 65111 is due to the use of a block system for the location of the main units and components. This reduces downtime, costs for purchasing parts and has a positive impact on the return on investment. Hydraulic and fuel units are characterized by resistance to wear, they are protected by the design from damage, and are completely sealed. “Consumables” do not require frequent replacement, which also makes the machine economical. By observing the maintenance intervals, high performance levels can be maintained over a long period of time.
Options include: installation of an armored fuel tank, replacement of the exhaust gas emission system, shielding of electrical wiring.
