Scope of application

The Amkodor-Z52 loader can be used in industrial, civil, and road construction; in public utilities and agriculture; in quarries (in auxiliary work).

Types of work in which this special equipment effectively demonstrates its capabilities:

• loading/unloading, movement of piece goods and bulk materials within construction sites;
• planning of construction sites;
• formation of earthen ramparts and embankments;
• repair of road holes and potholes, paving of small areas;
• development of near-route reserves;
• construction of foundations for highways and access roads;
• transportation of forestry objects;
• transportation of agricultural products;
• cleaning areas of the area from construction and other debris;
• snow removal in winter.

The Amkodor-Z52 loader has become one of the examples of a reliable, durable and easy-to-use version of special equipment.

Operating parameters and price

The loader in question has excellent performance characteristics that make it indispensable at construction sites or when performing any work in another field.

Such outstanding performance characteristics allow the manufacturer to position Amkodor-352 as professional equipment designed for long-term operation in extreme conditions.

Despite this, its price is relatively low and depends on the year of manufacture and condition.

You can purchase an excellent commercial forklift for a relatively small amount of money. Even if the equipment is not new, it can last for a very long time.

Lifting and braking system

The loader is equipped with four forward gears. Each of them is designed for a specific speed:

• first gear – 9 km/h;
• second gear – 15.5 km/h;
• third gear – 25.3 km/h;
• fourth gear – 43.5 km/h.

There are also two gears for reverse movement:

• first gear – 8.6 km/h;
• second gear – 25.4 km/h.

Thus, you can move around a construction site or around the city at impressive speed. This makes it possible not to use special transport equipment to move the loader over short distances.

The platform can lift even very large loads at high speed. Time spent on hydraulic cycles:

• rise – 5.9 seconds;
• unloading – 1.4 seconds;
• lowering – 4 sec.

This is one of the main reasons for the high speed of work. The duration of one hydraulic cycle is only a few seconds.

The loader in question is equipped with two brake systems:

• parking,
• emergency.

Both braking systems are reliable. They are a single-disc dry type mechanism with spring compression.

The brake release is carried out using a hydraulic system. The brake mechanisms are extremely simple in design, this is the main secret of their reliability.

The disc brakes themselves are powered by a mechanical drive. They are turned on by pressing a special pedal in the loader cabin.

When the brake pedal is released back, a special hydraulic mechanism is activated. Under its influence, the pads unclench and the wheels unlock. The emergency brake works in a similar way.

Operational safety

Both brake systems are duplicated , which allows you to be confident in the safety of the driver of this equipment. Even at high speed, the braking distance is no more than 10 m.

Ice and a large amount of water on the asphalt will not be a hindrance when moving, since the tractor wheel tread allows you to cling to even very slippery surfaces.

The center of gravity of the Amkodor-352 loader is located very low, so the driver is completely safe regardless of the amount of roll: even if the loader falls on its side, it will not roll over, and it will be possible to easily get out of the cab.

Some other similar models from other manufacturers have one very important drawback: when turned over, the cabin is flattened, so the likelihood of the driver’s death is extremely high.

Also, stability when overcoming terrain is achieved using a special longitudinal swing mechanism located in the bridges.

Attention! The angle of deviation relative to the horizontal can be as much as 12 degrees, so you can drive up fairly steep climbs without any fear at full load.

The cabin with which the equipment in question is equipped is very comfortable and easy to use.

It does not have metal walls, so you can have an all-round view without any difficulty. This makes it possible to move without fear not only forward, but also backward, which is very important, since the weight of the loader is very large, and it has many parts protruding beyond the body.

Inside the cabin there is an instrument panel located right next to the steering column.

With its help, you can continuously monitor all the necessary parameters:

• engine speed;
• movement speed;
• oil level;
• fuel level;
• pressure in the hydraulic system.

The cabin is also equipped with several rear and side view mirrors. Their viewing angle allows the driver to clearly see everything that is behind the operating equipment.

This is very convenient and also safe: the likelihood of damaging anything due to careless movement tends to be minimal.

The cabin itself is quite high, and climbing into it is quite problematic.

The situation is somewhat corrected by a special ladder and grip handles - all this makes it possible to climb into the cabin with a minimum amount of effort.

Test results of universal loaders

Modern intensive agricultural production today is impossible without the use of loading equipment. Loaders in agriculture are used for mechanized loading and unloading operations with bulk, lump, long, bulk, viscous materials, performing earthmoving, transport and installation work, cleaning roadways, compacting haylage and silage.

JSC Amkodor (Minsk, Republic of Belarus) specializes in the production of self-propelled universal loaders. The release of a wide range of universal loaders, differing in their functionality and cost, allows you to choose the right model that can be effectively used in a particular agricultural enterprise.

All universal self-propelled loaders are equipped with quick-release working parts that perform various agricultural operations: loading mineral, organic fertilizers and peat with main buckets, rolls of hay with forks with clamps and roll grippers, silage with buckets with clamps, stacking rolls of hay and straw with balers.

Universal loaders are equipped with comfortable cabins that provide full visibility of the working parts when performing the technological process: loading and unloading zones of the technological process, a linkage system for attaching replaceable working parts to the loader.

Operator workplaces are equipped with adjustable sprung seats and steering columns with tilt angles of 10-30 degrees. All loaders widely use hydraulics to drive replaceable working parts. Despite the same functional purposes, Amkodor universal loaders have different design features.

The Federal State Budgetary Institution "North-Western MIS" tested universal loaders: "Amkodor 211" with skid steer, "Amkodor 320", "Amkodor 332S4", "Amkodor 342S4", "Amkodor 352S-02", a loader with a telescopic boom "Amkodor 527" " The test results are presented in the table.

The Amkodor 211 skid steer loader is small-sized, which allows it to be used in cramped conditions that require great mobility. Control of movement (starting from a standstill, changing speed and direction of movement, turns in motion and turns on the spot, stopping) and working equipment is hydraulic and is carried out by means of two manual control units mounted in the cab on consoles located on both sides of the operator’s seat and the unit control of the active working body.

As a result of testing the Amkodor 211 skid steer loader, the main time productivity and specific fuel consumption per hour of shift time were: for loading peat with the main bucket 23.65 t/h with specific fuel consumption 0.17 kg/t; for loading chopped green mass 19.97 t/h, with a specific fuel consumption of 0.16 kg/t; for laying hay rolls 24.3 t/h, with a specific fuel consumption of 0.16 kg/t.

Self-propelled universal loaders “Amkodor 320”, “Amkodor 332S-4”, “Amkodor 342S-4”, “Amkodor 352” have a similar frame arrangement, consisting of two semi-frames, front and rear, connected by two hinges with a common vertical axis. The front axle is rigidly fixed on the front half-frames and loading equipment with an adapter is installed on which quick-release working parts are hung.

The loading equipment is controlled by double-acting hydraulic cylinders using a hydraulic distributor. The rear semi-frames contain a cabin with controls, an engine with a power take-off gearbox, a rear drive axle, a driveshaft, hydraulic and fuel tanks.

Headlights and lighting devices

The design of the loader in question uses a large number of lighting devices. These include:

• turn signals (4 pcs.);
• headlights (4 pcs.);
• brake lights (2 pcs.);
• flashing yellow light (1 pc.).

Thanks to them, working at night is convenient and completely safe. Using headlights, you can illuminate a fairly large area both in front of and behind the equipment.

The included side lights and a yellow flashing beacon on the roof make the Amkodor-352 visible at any time of the day, regardless of lighting conditions. You can navigate city roads both day and night.

Did you know that, thanks to its technical characteristics, the Amkodor-342V loader can be equipped with a crane boom for lifting small loads?

After reading this article, you will know how many modifications were created based on the MAZ-54323, and how they differed from each other.

Stop lights allow you to notify road users that braking has begun. In this way, you can avoid the occurrence of various types of emergency situations on the road.

"Amkodor-352", regardless of the type of engine installed, is an excellent choice if there is a need for construction and loading work.

It has many advantages and practically no disadvantages. "Amkodor-352" is a reliable, durable and economical equipment.

JSC Amkodor (Minsk, Republic of Belarus) specializes in the production of self-propelled universal loaders. The release of a wide range of universal loaders, differing in their functionality and cost, allows you to choose the right model that can be effectively used in a particular agricultural enterprise.

Engine characteristics

The loader is equipped with a six-cylinder four-stroke engine “D-260.1”, operating on diesel fuel. Its technical meanings are given below:

Loader cabin Amkodor 342v

Advantages

This loader has many features and advantages. The most important are the following:

• low operating cost;
• high performance;
• Ease of Management;
• relative compactness;
• good cross-country ability.

The cost of operating this equipment is very low, since the amount of fuel required even for very hard work is small.

This is especially true for the Amkodor-352-11 modification, which is equipped with a Deutz engine.

A loader equipped with a D-260.9 engine consumes slightly more diesel fuel, but also much less than other models in this class.

Breakdowns of the equipment in question occur very rarely, which allows you to spend a minimum amount of time on repairs.

In addition, this also allows you to save money due to the absence of the need to constantly purchase various spare parts.

Thanks to the impressive power of the engines installed in the Amkodor-352, this equipment can complete a fairly large amount of work in a very short period of time, which is especially important in construction, where deadlines are extremely important.

All controls of the loader are located within the driver’s reach, so he can carry out a variety of manipulations without much difficulty. The controls are very simple and comfortable.

In this review, you will learn what the Bucket positioning button is for in the Bobcat S175 loader cab.

"Amkodor-352" is quite compact compared to other equipment of this type from other manufacturers. This allows you to easily place it even in small hangars or spacious garages.

It has the following overall dimensions:

• length – 7 600 mm,
• width – 2,500 mm,
• height – 3,450 mm.

Features of the device and operation

• Features of the technology:

• A powerful engine and a universal hydromechanical transmission together demonstrate high performance and allow you to fully unleash the potential of the machine.
• The geometric parameters of the loader are optimally selected to ensure an ideal ratio with the weight and power of the machine. The combination of these parameters guarantees safe operation. In addition, there is no doubt about the excellent performance.
• The main attachments have a Z-shaped arrangement. Thanks to this, the developers were able to obtain great effort when cultivating land plots.
• The cabin is highly comfortable, with an ergonomic instrument panel and unique devices designed to improve operational safety.
• An articulated frame design combined with hydraulic steering is designed to improve maneuverability, ride quality and control.
• The jaw gripper can be used as the main working tool. This will significantly affect the already considerable performance of the loader.
• Multi-disc brakes operating in an oil bath.
• The machine is adapted to any climatic conditions. In particular, the device can withstand temperature loads ranging from minus 20 to plus 40 degrees.

• The Amkodor 352 front loader received a large fuel tank that can hold up to 215 liters of fuel. Fuel consumption per hour is 227 g/kW. The D-260.9 engine of its own production, manufactured in Belarus, is responsible for the performance. The unit has a turbocharger and a vertical arrangement of cylinders. High reliability and unpretentiousness in use guarantees durable and trouble-free operation of the motor throughout the entire service life of the loader. The motor is equipped with a pre-heater from the imported supplier Eberspacher. This is a basic option that prevents interruptions in the operation of the engine, as well as when it starts cold. And for trouble-free operation in the hot season, as well as to prevent overheating, a liquid cooling system with a powerful fan is provided.

• The Amkodor 352 loader is equipped with a four-speed manual gearbox with two forward and two rear speeds. It is very convenient to control the reverse, as well as other controls and switches. The hydromechanical gearbox is equipped with a reverse function, which is activated without the need to stop the loader. Please note that a conventional “mechanics” does not have such a function, that is, to engage reverse gear in a version with a manual transmission, you need to stop the car. In addition, with a manual transmission you need to depress the clutch.
• Among other characteristics, we note increased directional stability and maneuverability, as well as rollover stability. It is noteworthy that the machine is optimized for each attachment, and thanks to this it is maximally unified with any attachment option. For example, even the heaviest attachment will not negatively affect the performance of the loader, but rather, on the contrary, will have the best effect. Moreover, the manufacturer himself recommends installing large-volume buckets with a capacity of up to 5 cubic meters in order to be able to capture more bulk cargo at a time.

• Amkodor 352C is an all-season vehicle with wide-profile tires, all-wheel drive and a center differential lock. The stiffening ribs and the cab safety cage are designed to protect the operator in the event of a machine overturn. As you can see, the safety of the car is at the highest level. In addition to the presence of all-wheel drive and wide-profile wheels, it was possible to increase cross-country ability due to high ground clearance, thick steel protection of the engine compartment, as well as minimal body overhangs and high approach and departure angles. As a result, the user of the Amkodor 352C car was able to drive on ruts and muddy soils, as well as slippery surfaces and overcome 30 percent inclines.
• The developers paid special attention to the loader cabin. As mentioned above, the interior space is protected according to modern standards and regulations - this applies to the safety cage, as well as additional stiffeners. In addition, we note the presence of a soundproofing layer, due to which it was possible to significantly reduce the level of extraneous noise and vibrations in the cabin. As a result, this had a beneficial effect on comfort and reduced driver fatigue. Moreover, the quiet and cozy cabin creates an atmosphere in which you can spend hours without getting tired. Of course, in such conditions, nothing will distract the driver from work, and he will calmly cope with his duties. Thus, it was possible to increase labor productivity. Access to the cabin is provided by handrails on the door wings, as well as steps with anti-slip coating. We also note the wide glass area, providing first-class visibility on all sides within 360 degrees. Returning to the controls, it is worth noting that on the right side of the operator there are two joysticks, with which you can quickly change attachments, as well as move the boom to the desired position. The instrument panel informs the operator of the loader's status, including how much the attachment is loaded or when the attachment may be overloaded. There is a sun visor above the windshield, and the presence of additional lighting outside and inside guarantees efficient operation even in the dark.

Attachments

• Snow blade - the usefulness of this device has been proven in snow removal work, on sidewalks, roadways, along sidewalks and roads. The mechanically driven version of the blade is manually adjusted. The hydraulic drive option can be adjusted (blade angle) without leaving the cabin. To do this, simply select the desired position of the lever located in the cab.

• Pallet forks are a device designed to replace a specialized forklift. This option has almost the same functions. The main range of tasks involves working with fragile and easily breakable loads that are easy to damage. In this regard, such cargo containers (for example, glass or electronic equipment) are placed on a pallet. The width of the pallet forks can be adjusted based on the shape and dimensions of the cargo container.
• Telescopic boom – a device for moving cargo containers “through the air”. This option is useful if there are obstacles that are difficult to avoid (for example, in warehouses). This is where telescopic forks come to the rescue, allowing you to lift the load and move it to the unloading point, or place it on a high rack or shelf. The boom is equipped with a crane hook, which, thanks to its fixation on a hinged support, can be rotated in any plane.
• A log grabber is a device with a lifting capacity of about 5 tons. Designed to work with cylindrical loads. These can be pipes, piles and pillars. The log grabber is notable for its design, namely the hydraulic hoses that provide stability under high pressure in the hydraulic system.
• Grab fork – a device for gripping pipes with a diameter of up to 400 mm. In demand at enterprises involved in recycling, as well as the production and storage of cylindrical objects. This option is similar to the previous one, but has a more focused purpose.
• Snow removal bucket - this attachment has increased strength, thanks to thick steel with an anti-corrosion coating. Such iron is practically indeformable, which is very important in case of accidental collision with hard objects. The bucket has a large load capacity and is capable of capturing a large volume of snow at one time, including loose and compacted snowdrifts
• A blade is a device with the capabilities of a bulldozer. Thanks to this option, there is essentially no need to buy a specialized bulldozer. The equipment has a rotating function, which can be adjusted using a lever from inside the cabin, without the need to leave the cabin.
• Jaw bucket - equipment that includes two “jaws” that interlock with each other in order to tightly hold the load inside the bucket. Thanks to this, the load will not spill out. This bucket is only suitable for transporting bulk materials, including sand, soil, snow, crushed stone, small stones, leaves, garbage, etc.
• A broom is a utility device that is useful when performing tasks related to removing snow, sand, leaves and other bulk cargo from roads, sidewalks, parking areas and along the roadway. The humidification function, which is available on the rotary and road brushes, helps to wet the dusty load so that it does not become sprayed into the air and quickly collects in one pile.
• Clamp/grab forks are attachments that work primarily with fibrous materials. This option is suitable for working with objects with a density of up to 800 kg per 1 cubic meter. m. In particular, it can be loosened haylage, mown grass, hay and other similar materials. The clamp provides grip on the load and prevents it from falling out.
• A cradle is a lifting structure designed to lift the operator to a certain height to carry out various installation work at height. For example, in this case, activities related to finishing and painting high ceilings and walls, as well as finishing facades, installing new high-voltage poles and lighting shades are available for implementation. This modification is made of durable steel with a tubular structure that is not subject to deformation. The cradle has a wide doorway for easy operator access.
• Blade blade/adapter - both of these options have an auxiliary function and act as accessories for better, safer and more efficient work with loads. For example, the blade is one of the components of a snow plow, and the adapter is designed to securely hold heavy attachments.

Chassis

The excellent characteristics of Amkodor 352 are due to the coordinated operation of all systems. The power plant interacts with a hydromechanical gearbox designed for six speeds (four forward and two reverse). The reverse motion is activated with maximum convenience, which guarantees efficiency and productivity. Thanks to the hydromechanical gearbox, it became possible to change gears from front to rear without completely stopping the car. When installing a standard box for frontal technology, this function is not possible.

The loader can operate on a sloped base while remaining stable. This is due to the low center of gravity. Its versatility is ensured by the possibility of installing more than 40 types of additional replaceable working parts.

The standard package includes a compressor, through which the tires are inflated and the radiator is cleaned.

The Amkodor 352 brake system includes two components: parking and emergency. They are characterized by high reliability and ease of management. These are single-disc dry-type units with spring compression. Doublers are installed on the systems, which guarantees additional safety. Regardless of the speed, the braking distance does not exceed 10 m.

All-wheel drive makes cornering effortless. The main structure of the machine is an articulated frame. The basic assembly includes hydraulic feedback and an emergency pump for the front axle. With their help, it is possible to continue performing work operations in conditions of failure of the main equipment.

The Amkodor 352 is controlled using a gearbox, which allows the loader to move forward at speeds of up to 9 km/h in 1st gear, up to 15.5 km/h in 2nd gear, up to 25.3 km/h in 3rd gear and up to 43.5 km/h in 4th gear, as well as up to 8.6 km/h in 1st gear and up to 25.4 km/h in 2nd gear reverse.

Loading video

Initially, Amkodor 352 was positioned as a loader intended for agriculture. However, it later turned out that the range of works in which it is applicable is much wider. With the equipment you can use most of the attachments produced by the Belarusian brand. This allows you to use it at any time to perform a variety of tasks. Today the loader is used in the construction industry, when creating roads and in mining.

Amkodor 352 is significantly superior to classic models in maneuverability and stability, therefore it is optimally suited for compacting silage mass. At the same time, the loader has significant efficiency and safety.

A number of parameters distinguish the Amkodor 352 from loaders of other brands. Among them:

• a combination of a powerful engine and hydromechanical transmission, providing the vehicle with a smooth ride and high cross-country ability;
• optimal ratio of geometric parameters, weight and power of the loader, guaranteeing safety when performing a variety of work and excellent performance;
• the unique Z-shaped arrangement of the main equipment made it possible to achieve great force when using the loader in earthworks;
• a comfortable operator's cabin with a competent arrangement of controls, the presence of devices that increase operational safety, and a large glass area;
• a specialized articulated frame design, which, in combination with a hydraulic steering drive, significantly increases the controllability and maneuverability of the model;
• jaw grip, which can be used as the main working body, which adds functionality to the technique;
• multi-disc brakes in “oil”, supplemented by a hydraulic drive;
• significant performance in almost any conditions. special equipment thrives in areas with a temperate climate and a temperature range from -20 to +40 degrees.

Refueling tanks... Driver's cab

In this case, the loader can use both standard front-end equipment and special additional equipment designed exclusively for cleaning. The manufacturer developed this type of equipment in the direction of creating a completely universal unit designed to carry out work processes in a wide range of varieties, that is, in all areas of any industrial field.

Handling and cross-country ability

Operating the equipment in question is very simple; the main control is the steering wheel.

It has a fairly large diameter, which allows you to maneuver the loader with a minimum number of movements.

The design of the drive wheels, with the help of which turns are performed, is an articulated frame.

There is also hydraulic feedback and an emergency pump from the front wheels. It allows you to maneuver this equipment without much difficulty, even if the main pumps are out of order for some reason.

The loader's maneuverability is very high, even despite its impressive weight. This is possible thanks to the limited slip differential, as well as the wheels equipped with tires with a very deep and aggressive tread.

It can cling to very unstable ground without much difficulty.

Equipment

When developing the Amkodor 352 series machines, the company's engineers paid great attention to driver safety. The cabin was equipped with high-strength stops and stiffening ribs, which effectively protect the driver in the event of a possible rollover of the equipment. Two joysticks were added to the driver’s workstations, which are responsible for precise positioning of the boom during operation and their quick replacement if necessary. Depending on the configuration of the machine, the Amkodor 352C can be equipped with:

• buckets with increased volume - 3, 4.2 and 5 m3;
• pressing buckets for agricultural work with a capacity of 2.9 and 4.2 m3;
• bulldozer blades;
• devices for applying fertilizers;
• cutters;
• phyla with different configurations;

Amkodor 352C-02 is additionally equipped with the following devices:

• autonomous device for heating the engine;
• tire inflation system;
• radiator blower system;
• additional lighting devices for comfortable work at night.
