The first model of the legendary multi-ton truck KAMAZ-5320 is known all over the world. The popularity of the car is due to its reliability in operation and unpretentiousness in service. Thanks to its versatility, the truck can be used to perform a wide range of cargo transportation services and special tasks. Freight transport is designed to travel on any road. In order to operate the vehicle competently and safely, it is necessary to know the technical characteristics, including how much the KAMAZ weighs.

Dump truck KamAZ 5511

Several innovations were applied to the model. For example, flashing turn signals appeared that were activated during an accident; and the headlights shone with asymmetrical beams, which were clearly visible in the dark and did not blind oncoming cars.

The vehicle was built as a replacement for the ZIL-170 dump truck, has three axles and a 6x4 wheel arrangement. The KamAZ 5511 dump truck has excellent technical characteristics and stands out for its reliability, durability and versatility - it can be used in a variety of areas where heavy loads need to be transported.

Main dimensions: height of KamAZ 5511 - 2.7 m, width - 2.5 m, length - 7.1 m.

Cost of KamAZ-53212

The KamAZ-53212 truck model, as already noted, is distinguished by its endurance and long service life. That’s why today many of these trucks, which have not been produced since 2000, are successfully used in various fields of industry, construction and agriculture.

Perhaps, at the end of the 2010s, it makes sense for only a truly experienced driver and a car mechanic “all in one” to decide to buy this used car.

For a minimal cost it is possible to purchase a used chassis. In this case, the price tag for a car in working condition starts at 120,000 rubles (early 90s). For KamAZ-53212 from the late 90s they will cost from 300,000 to 450,000 rubles.

But modifications with special equipment installed on the chassis are offered much more expensive. For example, KamAZ-53212 trucks with loader cranes are offered at prices ranging from 700,000 to 1,000,000 rubles.

Overall, this is a good car - KamAZ-53212! Especially for the 80s of the twentieth century. Many men in the CIS remember with sincere gratitude not just a car, but also a friend - KamAZ-53212! For the 21st century, this is, naturally, an already outdated car. But still left a noticeable mark on the history of our country.

History of creation and release

The developers managed to build an advanced model that combines high performance and technical indicators. In comparison with the KamAZ-5511 modification, not only the power parameters have changed in the new model. The truck has been transformed in appearance. The cabin has become more spacious, and the headlights have been made rectangular. In addition, the model received a shortened platform.

Production of KamAZ-55111 continued until 2012. After this, the model was replaced by an improved version - KamAZ-65115.

The first yellow trucks appeared in Naberezhnye Chelny. They were noticeably different from traditional equipment produced by domestic enterprises. The design of KamAZ-55111 consisted of three axles. Moreover, most of the elements and components were standard for all products of the Kama plant. Among the innovations, the alarm system should be highlighted.

Design and cabin

The KamAZ 5511 cabin is painted bright yellow, which became the highlight of the model - such a color had never been used before. The windshield is three-layer, well protects the driver and equipment in the cabin from stones, strong winds, and precipitation.

The structure has springs and is securely fixed to the frame. There are two seats inside (except the driver's). It is possible to tilt the cabin forward - it is held in place by a torsion bar mechanism. In this position it is much easier to maintain the motor.

Sound-absorbing materials are used in the decoration, and the interior is heated and ventilated.

Classification of KAMAZ vehicles

When considering the technical characteristics of the model range of dump trucks, you need to pay attention to the markings. It complies with the industry standard OH 025270-66, introduced in 1966. The index of any KAMAZ vehicle contains numbers, where the first of them means the total weight of the vehicle:

• 1 – up to 1.2 tons;
• 2 – from 1.2 to 2.0 tons;
• 3 – from 2.0 to 8.0 tons;
• 4 – from 8.0 to 14.0 tons;
• 5 – from 14.0 to 20 tons;
• 6 – from 20.0 to 40.0 tons;
• 7 – from 40.0 tons.

The following index digit indicates the scope and type of vehicle:

• 1 – passenger car;
• 2 – bus;
• 3 – flatbed truck or pickup truck;
• 4 – truck tractor;
• 5 – dump truck;
• 6 – tank;
• 7 – van;
• 8 – reserve designation;
• 9 – special purpose vehicle.

Taking into account the meaning of these indices, you can easily understand this or that model of Kamaz truck. After the first two digits there is a designation of the factory model numbering, and the model number is entered after a dash. For example, the very first modification of the 5320 dump truck is an onboard truck with a gross weight of 14 to 20 tons. The total weight of the vehicle is taken to be the weight of the truck with passengers, a filled tank, and payload that is fully equipped.

Load capacity and weight of KAMAZ truck tractors

A separate category of KAMAZ vehicles are truck tractors. These are massive road trains that have a towbar and, due to increased overall dimensions, are capable of transporting heavier loads. The coupling device can be different: tent, side, isothermal. It is attached to the head unit using a king pin and saddle. The specifications always indicate the weight and load capacity of the tow hitch.

Such “strong men” are capable of pulling loads weighing up to 100 tons! They are produced both for military orders (for the rocket and space forces) and for other needs (quarries, mines, development of diamond deposits).

Steering

Such a truck is controlled using a hydraulic booster, which is combined with a steering device.

Wiring diagram

Unfortunately, the wiring diagram of KamAZ 55111 has not undergone significant changes compared to the previous model 5511.

A description of the KamAZ 55111 electrical circuit is in the “Electrical Equipment” section of the KamAZ 55111 operating instructions on page 213.

Power unit

All main technical characteristics of KamAZ-55111 are determined by the installed engine. This model was equipped with several varieties of the KAMAZ-740 diesel engine, but most often it was the 740.51-240 modification, equipped with a turbocharging system.

The rated power of this 10.85-liter 8-cylinder unit with V-shaped architecture reached 240 “horses” at a frequency of 2200 rpm.

Torque at the peak gave a reading of 912 Nm, and compression reached 16.5. Having a 350-liter tank for diesel fuel, the KamAZ 55111 fuel consumption per 100 km did not exceed 30 liters. In low temperature conditions, a pre-heater was installed.

Advantages and disadvantages

You all know very well that large dump truck class vehicles, which are designed to transport large and heavy loads, can rarely be found on city roads. But not everyone knows the reason for this. Of course, many are inclined to believe that this is all due to the dimensions of the KamAZ. You can't argue that there is part of the truth in this, but only part.

In fact, dump trucks are rarely seen on city roads due to their poor maneuverability and this is the main reason. As for this model, thanks to its good maneuverability, it can easily become an ordinary participant in city traffic.

Another principle for classifying loaders is tracked or wheeled.

• KamAZ-55111 is an excellent vehicle for traveling off-road. Thanks to its design, it copes with all obstacles without problems.
• Due to its medium size (compared to other dump trucks), this vehicle does not cover a large radius when turning, which is another big plus and makes it easier to drive if the route passes through the city.
• The platform can be heated.
• This type of machine has a long service life.
• Due to its long service life, another advantage follows in itself, which concerns the ease of maintenance of this type of machine. Breakdowns are very rarely noticed, so you can always reduce maintenance costs.

The KamAZ-55111 is a very good example of how you can purchase a very high-quality dump truck at a relatively low cost. Many years after the release of this car, it remains in the number one ranking. Look at the characteristics of the Kamaz 6520 model with comparable prices.

Drivers choose it for its excellent technical characteristics, reliability, ease of use, as well as the ability to easily and simply replace failed parts. This is a very important factor, since often it is the difficulty of repair that becomes an insurmountable obstacle for drivers who do not have the proper skills in this matter.

Features of a 10 ton dump truck in the video:

1. One of the most important disadvantages of such a machine is its poor ergonomics, which is why many companies and individuals refuse to purchase the KamAZ-55111.
2. The model has already been discontinued by the concern (if the car breaks down and some part needs to be replaced, then you will have to strain and try to find the part from someone else, which, most likely, will be removed from a car of the same model - which means will not be new).
3. The total volume of the Kamaz body is 6.6 cubic meters. meters, which is why not all types of work can be performed with sufficient efficiency.

I would like to note that, despite several shortcomings, the machine has a fairly large number of advantages that put it above many other representatives of dump trucks. The low price completely covers the three above-mentioned disadvantages, which do not play a particularly important role in the process of operation and use of KamAZ-55111

How much does Kamaz weigh?

KAMAZ is a world-famous truck that is supplied to many countries. They gained their popularity due to their good technical and operational characteristics and, above all, reliability, unpretentiousness and a large number of varieties. Let's consider how much KAMAZ and its individual parts weigh.

Why is the weight of KAMAZ important?

In fact, the weight of the vehicle is very important, especially if it concerns a truck like KAMAZ. The weight of a vehicle is considered one of its main characteristics. That is why this indicator is always indicated in the technical characteristics of the machine. It determines how much fuel the vehicle will consume. And the greater the weight of KAMAZ, the more fuel it needs.

KAMAZ models and their weight

The KAMAZ model range includes about 100 vehicles. In order to understand such a number, they were combined into classes. Today KAMAZ trucks are:

• onboard;
• chassis;
• dump trucks;
• truck tractors.

Each vehicle has a special index (TS), by which its carrying capacity and area of ​​​​use can be determined. The first number indicates the total weight. For example, if the number 6 is indicated, then the carrying capacity of KAMAZ can be from 20 to 40 tons. If the second digit is 5, this means that this type belongs to the class of dump trucks. Onboard KAMAZ trucks are designated by the number 3. Currently, about 20 models of onboard KAMAZ trucks are produced. For example, the total weight of the 4308 model is 11.5 thousand kg, and its load capacity is 5.5 tons. A fully equipped KAMAZ has quite an impressive weight. The engine alone can weigh about 900 kg, the body from 1700 kg, the cabin from 250 to 725 kg, and the tire from 107 to 115 kg.

KamAZ-55111. Main operational and technical characteristics

The KamAZ-55111 truck is designed taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of the earlier KamAZ 5511 model. The first copies of the new dump truck rolled off the plant’s assembly line in 1988, the last truck of this modification was released in 2012.

On the basis of the platform, not only dump trucks with increased payload capacity (13 tons) were produced, but also a variety of army equipment was installed. The military model was attracted by its high maneuverability, ease of maintenance and operation.

However, the main purpose of a dump truck is to transport construction materials over short distances.

Structurally, KamAZ-55111 is a frame truck with a front engine and a 6*4 wheel arrangement. The dump truck is distinguished by rear unloading; the body is equipped with a heating system, which is carried out using exhaust gases from the muffler.

The vehicle is equipped with a tilting cabover all-metal standard Kamzovsky cab, in which two or three air-suspended seats are installed; a sleeping bag is not provided in most trucks.

The driver's seat has a mechanism for adjusting height, distance to the steering column and backrest tilt.

Some models are equipped with electric windows, all cars are equipped with autonomous heaters and hydraulic power steering (power steering). In the latest modifications of the truck, solid windshields were installed, which significantly increased visibility from the cab. When finishing the interior, low-quality, easily soiled and hard materials are used, which causes dissatisfaction among drivers.

Due to the cessation of production, there is no opportunity to purchase a new KamAZ-55111 dump truck; trucks of the latest years of production (2009-2010) can be purchased at a price of 1.7 - 1.9 million rubles.

There are still many advertisements on the Internet for the sale of cars from 1998-2003, the cost of such cars does not exceed 500,000 rubles. The ideal option would be to purchase a car removed from military storage.

Such trucks have low mileage, but are often sold without a body, for the reason that military equipment is removed from them.

The cost of KamAZ-55111, removed from army storage, reaches 1 million rubles.

Dimensions and load capacity

• Dump truck height: 2,995 millimeters;
• Length: 6,690 mm;
• Width excluding mirrors: 2,500 mm;
• Center distance: 2,840 – 3,190 mm;
• Ground clearance: 290 mm;
• Maximum outer turning radius: 9 meters;
• Platform volume: 6.6 cubes;
• Curb weight of the truck: 9,150 kilograms;
• Load capacity: 13,000 kg;
• Total loaded vehicle weight: 23,125 kg;
• Total weight of the road train: 35.1 tons;
• Maximum platform elevation angle: 600;
• Maximum climbing angle: 25%;
• Wheel type: disc

• Tire type: pneumatic, tube
• Tire size: 10.00 R20 (280 R508)11.00 R20 (300 R508)

• The highest speed of the truck: 90 km/h.

Power unit and fuel consumption of KamAZ-55111

The domestically produced diesel engine 740.51-240 was chosen as the main power unit for this model. This eight-cylinder diesel engine is distinguished by a V-shaped cylinder arrangement, it has a turbocharging function and a cooling system for the consumed air.

The working volume of the power unit is 10.86 liters, it develops a rated power of 240 hp at a rotation speed of 2,200 rpm. The engine uses cooling technology in which the fan is driven through a special fluid coupling.

Thus, a sharp change in the angular speed of the fan when the engine speed drops or increases is eliminated. The motor is not highly environmentally friendly; it complies with Euro 2 standards.

It should be mentioned that a small number of KamAZ-55111 dump trucks were equipped with a six-cylinder YaMZ-236 engine with a power of 180 hp.

The manufacturer's declared fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 30 liters. However, this norm can only be achieved when driving on a good road, at a speed of 50-60 km/h.

When the speed increases to 80-90 km/h, fuel consumption indicators increase sharply and can differ significantly from the norm. The KamAZ-55111 dump truck is equipped as standard with a 250-liter fuel tank.

However, small batches of trucks left the factory, equipped with a tank with a volume of 350 liters, which significantly increased the vehicle’s mileage without refueling.

Transmission and power supply KamAZ-55111

The car is equipped with two manual gearboxes: a five-speed gearbox without a divider with a three-way shift mechanism, with a gear ratio of 7.22, and a ten-speed gearbox with a transfer number of 6.53. To transmit force from the engine to the gearbox, a double-disc diaphragm clutch equipped with a hydraulic drive with a pneumatic booster is used. The clutch and gearbox are controlled remotely from the driver's cabin.

The electrical systems of the KamAZ-55111 dump truck are powered by two 12-volt batteries with a total capacity of 380 A/hour. In addition, the truck is equipped with a voltage regulator and a two-kilowatt 28-volt generator.

Brake system and suspension KamAZ-55111

The KamAZ-55111 vehicle is equipped with four independent braking systems. Despite the presence of common components, all systems can operate autonomously; they are able to effectively perform their function and ensure the safety of the vehicle under any operating conditions.

Each wheel of the dump truck is equipped with drum brakes with a pneumatic dual-circuit drive of separate action (for the front and rear wheels). The radius of the brake drums is 400 millimeters, with a pad width of 140 mm.

Spare brakes are used to stop the car if the main system fails. They consist of four energy accumulators, accelerator valves and air cylinders. The spare brakes are operated by the same lever as the parking brake.

The truck is also equipped with auxiliary brakes.

In addition, the car has a brake release system for compressing the springs of energy accumulators, which are activated when the auxiliary or parking brake is applied.

The main elements of the KamAZ-55111 front suspension are two semi-elliptical springs, which work in conjunction with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers. To increase the angular stiffness of the suspension, a transverse stabilizer is used, which increases the vehicle's stability when cornering and when driving on uneven roads.

The rear suspension of KamAZ-55111 is of the balancing type on two semi-elliptic springs with reaction bars. Since the rear axles of the truck are subject to greater loads, the suspension is strengthened by having smaller springs.

Detailed technical and operational characteristics of the KamAZ-55111 dump truck can be found here:

Table 1 - Technical characteristics of KamAZ 55111

Design features and scope of application

The KamAZ-53212 onboard tractor is intended for transporting a variety of cargo, including as part of a road train (with a trailer) on roads designed to accommodate vehicles with an axle load of up to 10 t. Most often, these machines work with trailers GKB-8350, GKB-8352 and GKB-8355, which have the same standard size as the truck body.

The KamAZ-53212 body is a metal platform with a wooden floor; with folding side and rear sides. The installation of an awning is provided, which turns the flatbed truck into a wagon, into that very long-range “tramp”.

The main distinctive feature of the KamAZ-53212 is its extended wheelbase, which significantly increases the model’s application possibilities. From the factory, KamAZ-53212 trucks were equipped with a metal platform that could hold up to 34 cubic meters of cargo, and when coupled with a trailer, the total volume is 64 cubic meters. The car steadily and confidently endures merciless operation in the widest temperature ranges - from -35 to +40 degrees Celsius; at an altitude of several thousand meters above sea level.

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.

Loading platform and dump mechanism

The standard volume of the all-metal box-shaped loading platform of this truck model is 6.6 cubic meters. The platform is tilted in the direction of the front side. The visor reliably covers all free space between the body and the cabin. The bottom of the KamAZ-55111 dump body is heated by exhaust gases and exhaust pipes, which prevents freezing and sticking of bulk cargo to its base.

The dumping mechanism of the KamAZ-55111 truck consists of a power take-off; oil tank; oil drive; three-stage telescopic hydraulic cylinder; oil pump; pneumatic drive; electro-pneumatic valves and limitation valves.

The power take-off is single-stage. Control occurs from the driver's cabin using an electro-pneumatic starter. The dump body reaches its maximum elevation angle of 60 degrees in 19 seconds, and completely lowers to its standard position in 18 seconds. The volume of the hydraulic system is 33 liters of industrial oil 20 for summer operation, or industrial oil 12 for operation in the winter months.

Reviews from experienced drivers and owners of KamAZ-53212

First, about the advantages of this model.

Reliability, endurance, unpretentiousness, ease of operation, scheduled maintenance and repair.

While the cars were operated according to the planned program adopted in the USSR (maximum 10 years of work - and before being written off), the car was considered reliable, and quite rightly so. But, starting from the mid-nineties, when many of these KamaAZs ended up in private hands, stories began full of resentment to the poor quality and insufficient reliability of these trucks.

It is hardly possible to take seriously the opinions of people who received 10-15-20 year old trucks and immediately began to operate them in a horrific manner. (From road tales about overloads of KamAZ trucks of this brand and related incidents, you can assemble a book of decent volume and very entertaining content).

Especially in those hard years, drivers and traders from Dagestan and other regions of the Caucasus were zealous, overloading their KamAZ trucks. (As you know, a significant part of the male population of these regions traditionally earns their living as long-distance drivers).

A car that has traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers and lived for a couple of decades can no longer be reliable. Even the simple aging of materials must be taken into account here, because only cognac becomes better over the years. But not a car.

The undoubted advantage of this KamAZ, which many people note, is its excellent stove, which is capable of quickly and efficiently heating the interior in any frost, even if the engine is idling.

The excellent visibility from the driver's seat deserves kind words; the ability of the car to clearly hold the road in difficult weather conditions, thanks to the locking of the center differential.

The cross-country ability of KamAZ-53212 is very decent for a vehicle of this class. Valiant melon growers in the 90s looked with amazement at the ordeal of used European and American-made trucks, which, out of inexperience, stuck on the sandy soil of melon fields to load watermelons.

Steep (on asphalt) and powerful cars turned out to be completely helpless on slightly loose soil, where KamAZ trucks drove completely calmly. These same unsightly, in comparison, KamAZ trucks, by the way, pulled the “urban and intelligent” foreign trucks out of unexpected sandy captivity.

Now about the disadvantages, of which there are also many.

Firstly, in KamAZ-53212, both the engine and everything else “snot” with oil. After parking any KamAZ of those years (not only the 53212 model), an indispensable attribute is stains on the asphalt or ground - from oil or diesel fuel. It gradually leaks from it, like from a wild boar wounded during a hunt, and it is almost useless to fight these small but annoying leaks.

Tie wire and a piece of oxygen hose should always be in stock, pneumatics do not stand up to criticism. Main pipes are constantly damaged due to rubbing or simply breaking. The tubes themselves are located in the frame, in rather hard-to-reach places.

Pneumatic cranes also often cannot withstand loads. As a rule, the crane responsible for the axle load fails first, then the triple protection, etc. and so on. In most cases, there is only one reason: oil enters the air from the compressor, which cannot be restored to its ideal form. Oil destroys rubber parts in the system.

Drivers and owners of used KamAZ-53212 are unanimous in the opinion that it is impossible to work simply as a driver on this truck, you need to be (or become) also a mechanic, qualified, self-confident and ready for anything.

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.

Cabin "KAMAZ-53212"

The cabin in KamAZ-53212 vehicles is three-seater, tilting forward, with noise and thermal insulation; equipped with places for fastening seat belts, with a berth.

The driver's seat is sprung and adjustable in two directions: posture and height. Also, the driver of KamAZ-53212 has the ability to adjust the static deflection of the seat.

True, drivers of KamAZ-53212 categorically do not recommend getting carried away with changes in seat adjustments too often. Because in these cases quite noticeable vibrations begin to appear, which turn out to be quite difficult to eliminate. The height of the cabin allows you to stand in it, feeling quite comfortable.

The KamAZ-53212 cabin has decent thermal and sound insulation characteristics. To minimize distortions and vibrations inevitably caused by wind loads and pressure from the oncoming flow, the cabin is attached to the frame through an elastic suspension.

It can be said without exaggeration that for the eighties of the twentieth century, KamAZ-53212 had one of the best cabin interiors in the Soviet Union (not only among trucks, but also among passenger cars). The instrument panel, which has a progressive design for that era, contains only dials - dial indicators, without any electronics. They are read equally well and accurately under any conditions.

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.

Transmission
