Features of Amkodor backhoe loaders
Unlike most similar enterprises, Amkodor is a fairly young company. It was formed in 1991 through the merger of several enterprises specializing in the production of road equipment. Thus, the name of the enterprise is an abbreviation consisting of the first letters of the cities where the production lines were located. These included: Andropov, Minsk, Korosten and Orel.

The ending DOR indicates that this is a road vehicle. The enterprise did not last long, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1993 it ceased to exist. Currently, the Amkodor concern is located in Minsk and produces construction and road equipment. During its existence, the designers of the enterprise have developed over 80 units of equipment.
Among the variety presented, we can highlight the Amkodor backhoe loader, which we will talk about in this article.
Peculiarities
Belarusian backhoe loaders produced are made on the basis of common tractors of the MTZ family. This suggests that the equipment has a practically “indestructible” chassis. Many components and elements are ordered in Europe and America. For example: the drive axle is manufactured in Italy by Carraro, and a Parker pump made in the USA is responsible for the operation of the hydraulic system.
A well-thought-out design of the chassis and steering provides the vehicle with excellent maneuverability and maneuverability. Accordingly, the machine can perform tasks on city streets and construction sites. With relatively small dimensions, the backhoe loader has a fairly good lifting capacity: about 2,100 kilograms on the front loader bucket.
By the way, front and rear mounted buckets are available in several modifications, so you can select the equipment in accordance with the tasks assigned to the equipment. The double-jaw bucket, which is installed on the front linkage, is in great demand. This element can perform 6 operations, including the function of additional support when performing earthmoving work.
The equipment can work with soils of 1-4 categories of complexity. In addition, it is intended for the development of frozen soil layers.
The model range of backhoe loaders includes about ten modifications. We'll look at the technical specifications of the 732.
Amkodor 732
This modification has steerable front wheel chassis, while the rear wheels serve as the supporting structure of the semi-frame. The diesel engine D-245 S2 is used as the power plant. The power of the unit is 110 horsepower at a crankshaft speed of 2,200 rpm. The built-in cold start system allows you to start the engine at sub-zero temperatures.
The uninterrupted operation of the attachments is ensured by the hydraulic system. Thanks to Italian-made hydraulic valves, the designers were able to achieve high precision when performing work.
Amkodor 732
The Amkodor 732 backhoe loader is equipped with a fairly spacious cabin with a large glass area. The workplace complies with Rops/Fops safety requirements; heating and ventilation systems are installed to create comfortable working conditions. Separate control scheme is worth mentioning separately.
The front loader bucket controls are located on the steering column. The levers responsible for the operation of the excavator bucket are located in a separate block and are located in the rear of the cabin. To facilitate access to the rear linkage control unit, the cab is equipped with a swivel chair with a variable seat back configuration.
The transmission of the equipment is hydromechanical. This approach made it possible to reduce the turning radius to 5 meters. It is worth noting that the transport speed of the backhoe loader is about 40 km/h, so there will be no problems with transportation to a new place of work. The brake system is represented by a dual-circuit drive, which is located in the oil bath of the rear axle. Multi-disc brakes.
