Scania in Russia

For Scania, Russia remains a strategically important market, and the plant, built in November 2010 in Shushary, near St. Petersburg, continues to produce cars, despite all the economic turmoil. Production capacity allows the assembly of up to 7,500 cars per year - these are Scania series P, R, G, with wheel arrangements 4x2, 4x4, 6x2, 6x4, 6x6, 8x2 and 8x4. Nowadays, mostly truck chassis and dump trucks come off the assembly line. Investments in the enterprise are more than 10 million euros.

COPE WITH SKID

Purchase of a Scania sortie truck with STS-Forest superstructure

The choice of timber truck depends on the technical parameters and conditions in which it will work. Some models of this equipment do not have the ability to move on bad roads, hold the cargo necessary for transportation, and also do not have the necessary hydraulic equipment. Therefore, before buying a timber truck, it is necessary to compare: what will be the volume of cargo transported, what will be the working conditions and what power should the equipment have.

Almost all Scania timber trucks are equipped with the STS-Forest and KMU superstructure. The superstructure is made of steel and aluminum, so its weight is much lighter than any of the Russian superstructures. This complex is ideal for transporting timber weighing more than 20 tons and can transport lumber whose length exceeds 6 m. The package includes a powerful manipulator with 4 stable bunks. The Scania timber truck is an all-terrain vehicle, so it can move without any problems even in places where there is no road. This technique is as stable and reliable as possible, so it can work effectively in any climate.

Description

Scania timber trucks are designed for loading, transporting and unloading timber. This type of technology can have different modifications, for example:

• The Scania timber truck is an all-wheel drive vehicle with a 6x6 wheelset. This dump truck is designed specifically for transporting long-length timber, the weight of which does not exceed 25 tons. Its power ranges from 440 hp. Most often, it is used to remove crushed wood.

• The Scania log carrier is a modern tractor unit that is used to transport cargo along public roads. This multifunctional and comfortable equipment with a power of 400-730 hp. Ideal for transporting large materials over long distances.

Scania log carriers are made for logging purposes: transporting whole wood, shavings or trunks. When choosing this equipment, you should pay attention to its functionality so that it matches its purpose and operating conditions.

Price

The cost of a log truck depends on the manufacturer and technical parameters. Working conditions, type of equipment, power - all these parameters have a direct impact on the price of a timber truck. Of course, foreign machinery, components and equipment are more expensive than Russian ones, so it is not surprising that a timber carrier made from foreign spare parts has a higher cost.

The driver - live!

The mid-height G-cabin (model CG20N) cannot but please its occupant and even his partner or any other assistant. A comfortable and beautiful workplace, which we have already talked about several times (Scania S500, Scania S620, Scania P440), in today’s case is supplemented with a pneumatic passenger seat and a full-fledged wide lower “sleeping bag”. Electric windows with soft-closers, a sunroof, an audio system and a liquid autonomous heater, which, to be honest, has already received a few complaints from northerners, but its power of 3 kW is generally capable of satisfying the majority. Everything, like the previously tested samples, is quite worthy of the envy of some competitors. But the most important thing is that the engine is almost inaudible even at high speeds with the windows closed, and the many-sided springs on all axles are not thrown by the inhabitants of the cabin even on unpredictable forest paths between the plots of the Wel Forest!

Design subtleties

“Scania” is a timber carrier with a manipulator, which allows it to carry out both transportation of cargo and its loading/unloading in various conditions. The manipulator itself is a rather complex mechanism, which is driven by a hydraulic system and has several degrees of freedom in order to ensure easy operation of the executive body, which grips materials to be loaded and transported.

The new Scania timber trucks are able to offer consumers:

  • Power plants whose power starts from 230 and ends with 650 horsepower. Moreover, there are even real monsters with a 700 hp engine. With.
  • Reduced fuel consumption through the use of the Scania PDE system, which was developed by engineers from a Swedish company.
  • Twelve-speed gearbox equipped with a clutch protection system.
  • Balance of loads on front and rear wheels.
  • An electronic unit that automatically controls, tests and adjusts the suspension and engine systems.
  • The Selective Catalytic system, which makes the machine very environmentally friendly, because during its operation it neutralizes nitrogen oxide emissions into the environment.
  • A cabin equipped in accordance with all the requirements of ergonomics and comfort for the driver.

Review of existing models

Every modern Scania timber truck certainly belongs to one of its variants. Let's look at the main ones.

The most powerful is the R model, which is used to transport goods over long distances. Among these cars there are also giants with a power plant of 700 horsepower. However, generally the engine power of these cars ranges from 420 to 500 hp. With.

More compact Scania trucks are located in the P series. Thanks to them, relatively light loads are transported in city conditions or between populated areas.

The “golden mean” between the two above-mentioned series of timber trucks is the G model. These machines, with their relatively small dimensions, are capable of moving goods both within regions and between states.

The Scania 145 timber and log carrier is still popular among consumers, even despite the fact that it was created on the basis of the first generations of these trucks. The undeniable advantages of these machines are: reliable design, possibility of modernization, resistance to high loads of the front and rear axles.

"Forest" superstructure

The log carrier superstructure on the Scania G500 B6x6HZ chassis was produced by the Russian-Finnish enterprise YuFA LLC CIS, which is a partner of the Scandinavian and European companies JYKI GROUP, NORDIC TANK, TOPLIFT, EKERI, HIAB, NTM, HUEFFERMANN, ALUCAR, KESLA, RIIKONEN. The superstructure has a steel subframe with cross-shaped reinforcement of the rear part, a retractable console for a manipulator, 4 pairs of Alucar steel bunks, and a shield behind the cabin. Protection is provided for the fuel tank, hydraulic tank, battery and receivers. To ensure loading and unloading operations, a KESLA 2009 St hydraulic manipulator is provided here. The weight of the superstructure with bunks, console and hydraulics is only about 1900 kg.

Timber trucks Scania

The Scania trademark was created in 1891 in Sweden as a manufacturer of railway carriage special equipment. Later, the expansion of production allowed Scania to produce heavy-duty trucks, trailed and semi-trailer systems. Now they have several series of machines for construction and household purposes, which are actively supplied to Russia and are highly valued by business executives for their reliability and high productivity.

Advantages and disadvantages

Modern timber trucks (log trucks) Scania or, as they are also called, wheel loaders are part of almost all large vehicle fleets in the country due to significant advantages:

  • Fully adapted to work in the Russian climate and off-road driving, which has much in common with Swedish ones.
  • The highest draft capabilities and the ability to work with especially heavy assortments that have passed preliminary testing at the logging sites of their homeland (unlike similar southern samples).
  • The efficiency of the engine operation is almost double that of domestic KamAZ trucks - the same fuel costs allow the KamAZ power unit to operate at 260 horsepower, and the Scania unit at 500.
  • Large load capacity - up to 26 tons.
  • A wide selection of modifications and settings for them from the manufacturer, carried out according to the needs and requirements of the customer. At the same time, you can choose only the necessary equipment, saving a lot on minor options.

ATTENTION! The disadvantage of these machines is their high cost, approximately 2.5-3 times higher than Russian-made equipment. In addition, the most powerful giants often simply cannot show themselves at full strength due to the road requirements existing in Russia (in Sweden, road trains up to 25 meters long are allowed to travel).

Lumberjack's car of the 21st century

The engine of the all-wheel drive three-axle silver “Scania” is DC13 with a power setting of 500 “horses” and the fifth environmental class, which is provided by the latest XPI power system, operating without an exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR), using only the new generation EEC3 catalytic neutralization. The gearbox is purely mechanical, the number of stages is 12+2, it operates on three lever strokes, providing a variety of gear ratios using the range “flag” and the divider “spout”. The gearbox lever drive is cable, a sign of unity in the widespread rejection of the bulky and metal-intensive rocker. Front drive axle – AMD600TZP: 9-ton, rear axles AD501TZP, technically permissible load capacity 15 tons. All three axles are driven, with inter-axle and inter-wheel locks. Main gear with single-stage hypoid gearboxes and wheel gearboxes with helical gearing, gear ratio – 4.93. The braking system includes drum wheel mechanisms, a slope prevention system and a traction control system. All-round spring suspensions: 4x28 parabolic spring packages at the front, 8x30/90 multi-leaf springs at the rear. Anti-roll bar on the front axle with increased rigidity. The wheelbase of the log carrier is 5350 mm. The term “Scania policy” involuntarily comes to mind, which actually implies an individual transport solution, but at the same time assembled from standard serial components of our own production.
