MKSM 800 is a loading device from a Russian plant, widely known as a manufacturer of affordable loading equipment. The model under consideration is a multi-purpose municipal construction machine designed for a wide range of tasks, despite its compact dimensions. This device, like many other representatives of the MKSM model range, has successfully passed all factory endurance tests, and is adapted primarily to harsh climatic conditions - for example, to work in the northern regions of Russia. The machine is also suitable for working in conditions of elevated temperatures. Users highly appreciated the advantages of this model presented in this article. The main parameters, operating features and cost of the MKSM 800 mini-loader are also considered.
Purpose
MKSM-800 is widely used in operations where it is necessary to quickly and efficiently load and transport soil and other bulk materials, as well as various concrete structures. The machine also excels at drilling wells, digging trenches, as well as cleaning sidewalks, squares, parks and industrial areas, urban and country roads. The device removes debris, dust, freshly fallen and compacted snowdrifts from the surface. Due to its compact dimensions, the machine is in high demand in closed warehouses, as well as in hard-to-reach conditions - where increased maneuverability is required. Loading and unloading, as well as transportation and cleaning - all these and many other tasks can be assigned to the MKSM-800, equipping it with the necessary attachments.
Mini loader with small dimensions and great capabilities
The mini loader has gained particular popularity in the domestic market due to its small dimensions and versatility. The machine is able to efficiently and quickly cope with large volumes of work in the most cramped conditions, where there is no way for large equipment. The loader performs work in markets, city alleys and streets, parking lots and mini-markets. The loader can easily pass through a small opening, making it indispensable for repairing road surfaces, arranging landscaping, installing communications, and maintaining pedestrian paths and sidewalks.
MKSM-800 is a mini-loader that is safe to operate and easy to use: when working with such a loader, you can achieve excellent results both in terms of quality of work and speed. An increased level of comfort is ensured by the design of a comfortable cabin and a comfortable driver's seat. A mini-loader is a unique special equipment not only because of its design solutions, but also, above all, because of its filling.
Attachments
- Cap caterpillars - this device helps well in situations where it is necessary to drive through a complex off-road obstacle - a rut, a hole, muddy ground, a rise, etc. In addition to improving cross-country ability, the tracks help reduce pressure on the ground. Cap caterpillars do not require professional skills when installing or dismantling them.
- Solid wheels are one of the more affordable alternatives to slip-on tracks and are an ideal replacement for standard wheels. The advantage of solid wheels is their deep tread and tenacious properties. With such tires, slipping and slipping are practically eliminated. Thick rubber increases the weight of the mini loader, and at the same time increases its load capacity.
- Backhoe Mount – Converts a skid steer into a full-fledged mini excavator with hydraulic steering. It mounts All-Tach like any other attachment.
- A snow removal bucket is a device for removing snow drifts and snowdrifts. Suitable for cleaning loose and dry snowdrifts, as well as compacted or wet snow. There are certain versions of the bucket, depending on the volume - up to 1.5 cubic meters. m.
- Jaw bucket - is a structure of two working “jaws” that close together, thus ensuring tight retention of the load so that it does not fall out during transportation. In particular, foliage, soil, sand and other bulk materials can be loaded into such a bucket.
- A concrete mixing bucket is a device for quickly preparing concrete mixture, as well as other additional additives that improve the quality of asphalt pavement. Loading of material into the bucket is carried out manually or by scooping the mixture from the ground, and for unloading, a lower unloading hatch is used, to which a drain hose is attached, ensuring ease of unloading. This device has proven itself in construction and road repair, as well as in agriculture.
- A brush is a popular attachment for municipal services, with which you can quickly remove small debris, fallen leaves, sand, dust, etc. This option is well suited for sidewalks, road areas and public places with large crowds of people, as well as cleaning city and country roads, parks and parking areas.
- A rotary mower is an attachment for leveling the surface. For example, it is perfect for mowing grass and unnecessary green spaces - weeds, bushes and other thickets. Of course, a rotary mower copes with weeds and overgrown grass much faster than in the case of a manual mower.
- A mounted asphalt paver is an option for laying asphalt, distributing concrete material, filling trenches, etc. You cannot do without this option when building urban, suburban and even international transport interchanges.
- A cultivator designed for the following operations with soil: planting lawns and other herbaceous vegetation. The cultivator is capable of working at a depth of up to 155 mm.
- A mounted/dozer blade capable of turning a MKSM loader into a full-fledged mini-bulldozer. This is a convenient device for working with large volumes of snowdrifts, as well as debris, dust, and leaves. In fact, a bulldozer blade can replace heavier and larger narrow-profile machines that are not capable of working in difficult-to-reach conditions.
- Tree transplanter – means to solve a wide variety of problems, which include transplanting trees from one place to another. The equipment is equipped with special knives that are immersed in the soil in such a way as not to damage the root system of the tree. Thus, the tree will remain intact and intact after work related to digging it up, packing it and transplanting it from one place to another.
- Log grabber – a device for grabbing logs and other cylindrical objects. The grip holds the logs firmly so that they do not fall out during transportation. The maximum load capacity of the log grabber is 1 ton.
- A snow blower is an attachment for working with snow layers with a height of up to 740-750 mm. At the same time, the snow throw range can be increased to 6 meters. The snow thrower is equipped with a special plate that prevents clogging with sticky snow.
Use of all-terrain vehicles
Crawler-mounted off-road trucks are indispensable when transporting any cargo, equipment and even people in difficult regions of the country. If in areas with stable soil you can use ordinary trucks for any transportation, then in swamps or in permafrost conditions you cannot do without a specially equipped all-terrain vehicle, for example, the TM-140.
The choice of a cargo SUV must be approached very seriously, since the subsequent success of the operation depends on it. Therefore, in addition to other characteristics, it is worth paying attention to:
- load capacity on unstable soils;
- capacity;
- maneuverability;
- maximum travel without refueling.
If the forklifts discussed above are used on a job site and only require transportation to that location, then all-terrain vehicles will determine whether people or valuable equipment will be transported to the job site without injury, damage or other complications.
Device Features
- The MKSM-800 mini-loader is capable of turning around in one place. A smooth increase in speed is possible, without various jerks and vibrations. Operations with the control of the loader are easy and do not require getting used to, because only a pair of joysticks located on the side panels are provided to control the attachments.
- The machine exists in several versions. Thus, the 800K modification is equipped with a choice of Cummins or John Deere diesel engines, while the version with the “H” index received an engine from the Harz company. Today, a newer version A is offered with design changes, including a robust welded frame. The developers also abandoned the installation of an outdated pump drive. The package includes a clutch that promotes reliable engine operation at sub-zero temperatures.
- The standard model MKSM-800 received an economical power unit with a specific fuel consumption of 220 kW/hour. You can choose from engines from John Deere and Harz, which have proven themselves in harsh northern conditions. They are capable of operating at temperatures from minus 20 to plus 50 degrees. The service life of both engines is 8000 hours. The maximum speed is 10 km/h, and the fuel tank capacity reaches 55 liters. The machine turned out to be compact - its length is 2480 mm and its width is 1680 mm.
- Otherwise, the mini loader of the same name is equipped with domestic components. For example, the hydraulic system for the MKSM-800 model is produced in Kovrov, Salavat and Pargolovo. You can change the necessary attachments in a matter of minutes - a quick-release clamp is used as fastenings. As a result, there is no need to use special tools.
- The all-metal cabin of the MKSM-800 is made of thick steel. Rigid fastening of the cabin to the frame is provided by silent block connections. If necessary, the cabin tilts back, and thus provides access to components and assemblies that are easy and convenient to service. The cabin itself is designed in an ergonomic way - for example, there is a wide doorway, as well as an additional step that allows you to easily climb into the cabin. The door is essentially the front wall of the cabin, and the side panels have hooks on which you can hang clothes. The main feature of the cabin interior is, of course, the sprung seat. It can be adjusted in different ranges - however, the same applies to the adjustable steering column. All control devices, including control and measuring sensors and instruments, are located as close as possible to the driver. The cabin also has a special niche for storing tools. The front glazing area is expanded by side glazing, which provides almost all-round visibility. We also note the modern sound insulation of the engine compartment and interior, thanks to which the driver is almost not distracted by noise and vibrations, gets less tired and can work much longer. Windows and doors can be replaced with protective grilles to lighten the overall weight of the cabin. At the same time, safety can be increased in this way, as safety bars protect the operator in the event of a rollover.
