Kamaz crane manipulator: varieties, characteristics of Kamaz with CMU, photo

Manipulator cranes are becoming increasingly popular when carrying out various loading and unloading, repair and construction work, as well as transporting goods. They are a self-propelled chassis based on an automobile or other special equipment with a loading platform on which a crane-manipulator mechanism is installed for lifting and lowering loads, as well as carrying out other types of work. Such special equipment includes the KAMAZ manipulator crane.

Kamaz trucks are distinguished by high cross-country ability in off-road conditions, large load capacity, reliability and ease of operation and repair, and versatility in use. In some cases, these vehicles are even superior to tracked vehicles in their maneuverability.

Types and features of crane installations based on Kamaz

Kamaz vehicles can be equipped with crane manipulators of various models of imported or domestic production. They come in two main typical designs:

1. Hydraulic (hook) manipulators on which a load hook or other type of grip is attached to the end of a crane boom.
2. Cable manipulators, in which the load-handling device is mounted on a cable suspension.

Depending on the specific purpose of the special equipment, the handling unit can be mounted on the vehicle in the front part of the cargo platform immediately behind the driver’s cab or behind the body on the rear of the frame. Such units are lightweight, small in size and fold compactly in transport position, allowing maximum use of body space for transporting goods.

The crane mechanism is driven from the main engine through the power take-off. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with hydraulically driven retractable supports, which increase the stability of the base chassis when operating the crane manipulator.

Instead of a conventional cargo hook, various interchangeable devices can be installed on the boom of the KAMAZ manipulator crane , including:

• hydraulic grabs for loading/unloading containers and other large cargo;
• grab grips for loading bulk and lump materials;
• load hooks for loading timber and other long cargo;
• hanging cradles to ensure high-rise repair and construction work;
• mounted drilling mechanisms for drilling construction wells, etc.

Installation of equipment at KamAZ

Installation of CMU on KamAZ - main elements

To install the CMU on the vehicle frame, a specially made subframe is required. This is a requirement of truck and truck manufacturers. The design of the subframe ensures uniform distribution of the load along the entire length of the frame when performing loading and unloading operations. The width of the subframe must exceed the width of the vehicle frame by at least one meter.

Overframes for KamAZ are available in two modifications: short, intended only for mounting a manipulator, and long, intended for mounting a crane-manipulator and platform.

The manipulator hydraulic system operates from a special pump connected to the power take-off. Equipping a CMU machine involves modifying the platform. The crane takes up some space on the frame, therefore, the platform mounting must be moved to another place. According to the traffic police requirements, the length of the platform should not exceed the length of the frame by more than one meter, so sometimes it needs to be shortened.

Main technical characteristics and advantages of Kamaz with CMU

The technical characteristics of a specific model of crane manipulator based on Kamaz depend on the modification of the base truck and the parameters of the crane equipment installed on it. These include, in particular:

• maximum lifting capacity of the crane mechanism – up to 20t;
• maximum boom reach – up to 18m;
• maximum load on the cargo platform – up to 15t and other parameters.

The main advantages of using a KAMAZ crane manipulator are:

• reduced cost of loading and unloading and transportation costs;
• high cross-country ability of the base chassis allows the crane to be used in any road conditions;
• the reliability and stability of the cargo platform chassis allows the installation of powerful crane equipment with increased lifting capacity;
• body dimensions allow for the transportation of large and/or long cargo;
• universal replaceable equipment allows loading/unloading and transportation of various cargoes, as well as carrying out a variety of construction work.

CHASSIS WEIGHT

IS 8350 KG, AT AXLE LOAD

• Front – 4200 kg;
• Rear axle – 4250 kg.

The total weight with the superstructure can reach 24 tons, with a load on the front axle of 6000 kg and on the rear axle - no more than 18000 kg. At the same time, the car can tow a towbar with a total weight of up to 14 tons.

The car is equipped with a turbodiesel engine with a capacity of 280 hp. working volume 11.8 liters. The clutch is single-disc, diaphragm with hydraulic pneumatic booster. A 10-speed manual transmission provides the optimal choice of operation under any load and type of road surface. Reliable air-driven drum brakes make the machine safe at all speeds and with any load. The car can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h, overcoming inclines of up to 25 degrees. The steering is equipped with a hydraulic booster, the turning radius of the car is 10.7 meters. The Cummins engine is a very durable and easy to maintain unit. The service life of manipulator cranes reaches 15 years. Vehicles with KamAZ 65117 manipulators combine all the advantages of the chassis and the latest achievements of Russian and foreign crane builders. A crane manipulator based on KamAZ is usually a high-speed machine with a powerful hydraulic lift with a large lifting capacity and a significant boom reach. They are designed to perform loading and unloading, simultaneously with the transportation of various types of cargo, installation of production and drilling equipment.

The crane manipulator based on KamAZ 65117 is equipped with two types of installations - hook and cable. The first ones are produced by Palfinger, Fassi and Hiab. The hooks of such devices are attached directly to the head of the lifting boom. When folded, the crane is located directly behind the cabin and does not interfere with movement and transportation of large cargo.

KamAZ 65117 vehicles with a cable-type manipulator crane are equipped with installations manufactured by Kanglim, Dong Yang, Hiab (models 160T, 190T), Unic, Daehan, Soosan. A special feature of these designs is the fastening of the hook to a cable suspension, which allows you to work with loads that are slightly below the zero level. They can also be equipped with cradles and baskets for lifting workers.

An onboard KamAZ 65117 with a Palfinger manipulator crane can transport loads of up to 14 tons. It is equipped with a PALFINGER RK 15500 crane installation with a lifting capacity of up to 480 kg with a maximum boom reach of 15 meters. By special order, the boom can be extended to 18.7 meters with a slight reduction in lifting capacity. The lift's load moment is 18 tm. The boom can rotate 420°. The manipulator crane is equipped with emergency protection systems, including turning off the manipulator and blocking the control levers in case of overload.

OPERATING FEATURES

Many manipulators with different characteristics are installed on the KamAZ chassis. For example, the SOOSAN SCS736LII manipulator is equipped with bottom controls. Its load capacity is 350 kg with a boom reach of almost 19 meters. At a minimum reach of 2 meters, it can lift up to 7 tons of cargo. This allows the use of a crane manipulator based on KamAZ 65117 in small construction and cargo sites or on city streets.

The Korean cable CMU Kanglim KS 1256G-2 has a load capacity of up to 7000 kg with a maximum lifting height of up to 22 meters. At maximum reach, it confidently handles loads up to 300 kg, which makes it indispensable for high-altitude work and supplying cargo to the upper floors directly from the truck platform, without intermediate storage. The unit is equipped with a hexagonal telescopic boom with six stages. It is characterized by high speed of extension. The crane manipulator can continuously rotate 360 ​​degrees.
