When considering the technical characteristics of the ZIL-MMZ-554m dump truck, it does not immediately become clear to many that in fact this model is the predecessor of the well-known ZIL-130. This prefix indicates the modification of the truck chassis used, which depends on the specific application.

History of the model

The production of ZIL series cars at Mytishchi Machine-Building Plant OJSC began back in 1953. One of the most popular models was the ZIL-554, which rolled off the assembly line in 1957. This model was developed specifically for agriculture. It differed from its predecessors in its standard frame size and the ability to unload goods from three sides.

Over the years of production, a large number of modifications entered the market, which were supplemented and improved over time.

In 1975, ZIL-554-MMZ received the state award “Quality Mark”.

Peculiarities

A distinctive feature of the ZIL-130 MMZ-554 vehicles was their adaptability to roads with poor surfaces. Largely due to this, this car is still popular today. In addition, it is a simple, reliable and unpretentious dump truck.

However, many consider it a long-outdated model. This is due to the small carrying capacity and high fuel consumption. With a load capacity of four tons, the average fuel consumption is thirty liters. When connected to a trailer, consumption increases by another five liters.

Hydraulics

This modification of the ZIL is equipped with a hydraulic tipping mechanism. It consists of such elements as:

• pump;
• Switchgear;
• valve limiter;
• hydraulic lift;
• tank required for working fluid;
• high and low pressure pipeline;
• control lever;
• fasteners;
• PTO.

When the control handle is moved back, the intermediate gear meshes with the gear of the transmission reverse unit, due to which the gearbox switch is activated. At the same time, the pumping element begins to activate, from which the fuel passes through the pipeline and enters the distribution device. After this, the liquid passes into the transport lift. To raise the body, the front distributor control lever is used, and to raise the trailer body, the rear lever is used.

Characteristics of ZIL-MMZ-554

The basic dump truck models initially had two gasoline engine options:

• With eight cylinders and liquid cooling.

• With six cylinders and 110 horsepower.

In both versions, A-72 and later A-76 gasoline were used as fuel. The volume of the fuel tank is 175 liters.

Diesel engines D-245, which began to be installed in later models, had a power of up to 150 horsepower. This was enough to accelerate without a trailer to ninety kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption at full load and speed up to forty kilometers per hour is twenty-eight liters. When lifting a loaded car, consumption increases to fifty liters.

The manual transmission has five gears.

To stop when driving on a flat road without slopes at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour, eleven meters are required. The ZIL braking system is pneumatic. Drum brakes.

The body is all-metal, with springs. Cabin capacity for three people. The windshield on the ZIL-554-MMZ is panoramic, slightly curved. This improves visibility.

Dump truck dimensions: length - 6.7 m, width - 2.5 m, height - 2.4 m, total weight - 9.4 tons. The length of the car platform is 3.8 m, width – 2.3 m, height – 0.6 m, area – 8.7 m2. The body volume is equal to five cubic meters. Increasing the height of the body due to the increased sides increases the useful volume of the body to eight cubic meters. The body rises fifty degrees.

The dump truck body is made of metal, the truck body is made of wood.

Basic parameters during operation

ZIL-554-MMZ is considered an agricultural dump truck. It is used for transporting grain, fertilizers and other types of products. Extended sides, which are included in the package, will help increase the amount of cargo transported. A tarpaulin awning is used to protect the cargo.

This vehicle also transports construction materials. But it should be taken into account that their weight with the same volume will be greater than that of agricultural products.

A special feature of the car is the ability to open the sides on three sides. To open the side located at the rear of the body, there are hinges (upper and lower). If necessary, it can be secured in a horizontal position using chains. It is also completely removable. The side boards open, the front one is fixed rigidly.

The dump truck can be unloaded to the rear and on both sides. For this purpose, a hydraulic mechanism with a telescopic pipe is installed.

ZIL-554-MMZ trucks are a good option, the quality and reliability of which have been tested by more than one generation of users.

Production history of ZIL MMZ-554

The production of such vehicles began back in 1953, when the first ZIL MMZ 554 truck was produced. At that time, the model immediately became a leader in the cargo transportation segment throughout the USSR. This was due to the post-war period, when the country was experiencing economic recovery, and the demand for such transport was enormous. Over time, the model range was updated, as well as the technical part of the machines was improved. The most popular was the release of the ZIL MMZ-554M, which was popularly called “Collective Farmer”. This modification was equipped with a dump body, which could be used for various types of work.

The most popular models were produced since 1964 and on their basis the legendary ZIL-130 was later launched. Initially, this vehicle was conceived as a multifunctional platform that would be used for other modifications. Thus, on its basis, vehicles were created for agriculture, transportation of industrial goods, as well as fire trucks.

Modifications of the ZIL MMZ-554 car

In total, a number of different modifications were created on the basis of this platform, some of which are still in use:

1. A fire engine, which in the period from the 70s in the USSR made up almost 100% of the entire fleet of fire departments.
2. Aerial platform. It was a widespread modification that was used for a long period of time not only in the USSR, but also in the countries of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and other socialist states.
3. Tank. It was used not only for transporting various drinking liquids (water, milk, kvass, etc.), but also various technical mixtures for production.
4. Pump. This modification took the form of a mobile pumping station, which was also popular in the republics of the USSR.
5. Truck cranes and excavators. Similar platform options were widely used in a similar way to other models, especially in construction.
6. Booth structures. These modifications were used to transport people, as well as various tools in different fields of activity.
7. Garbage collection models. Their purpose was to load garbage from containers that were located in each yard.

Technical characteristics of "Collective Farmer"

It was the high technical characteristics of the ZIL MMZ 554 that became the reason for the high popularity of this model, as well as the number of modifications produced on this basis. They favorably distinguished the car from vehicles produced, for example, by KamAZ. The car was easy to maintain, its spare parts were available for any of the modifications, and the design of the suspension and transmission made it possible to move even on difficult dirt roads.

The ZIL 554 modification became the model that was most common in the USSR. It had a tilting body, as well as excellent technical parameters. Thus, the maximum load capacity of the unit was 9 tons. However, the presence of large traction parameters made it possible to additionally use a trailer with a load of 8 tons. The main technical parameters of the truck are considered:

1. Wheel formula 4×2.
2. The total curb weight of the vehicle is 14.1 tons.
3. The weight of the road train is 22 tons.
4. Maximum load capacity – 9 tons.
5. The volume of the platform is 5 m3.
6. The maximum speed is 90 km/h.
7. Engine power – 150 hp.
8. Fuel tank volume – 175 l.

The ZIL 553 car is a popular cargo transport of its time in the USSR. It was used in various fields, which was facilitated by a large number of different modifications, as well as the high technical characteristics of the machine.
