Kamaz agricultural truck 55102: technical specifications, body, photo

About the history of the model

The KamAZ-45143 dump truck in the KamAZ model range became a continuation of the previously popular KamAZ-55102, which was also called the “agricultural truck”. Compared to its predecessor, the 45143rd KamAZ received a payload capacity increased from 7 to 12 tons.

KamAZ-45143 has been mass-produced by the Kama Automobile Plant since 1982, and has been modernized and improved more than once during its thirty-year tenure on the assembly line. Currently, it has given way to another “agricultural” dump truck in the production program of the enterprise: KamAZ-45144. Its carrying capacity is already 14 tons.

The total catastrophe and ruin that befell domestic agriculture in the 90s of the twentieth century gave way in the early 2000s to gradual but steady progress in this area. The peasants who recovered from “shock therapy” (or rather, a small part of them - those who did not drink themselves to death or did not go to work in the cities) managed to build new profitable farms on the ruins of former collective and state farms; We were convinced that you can earn serious money in crop production; received funds to update the machine and tractor fleet.

Today, not only large, but even medium-sized peasant farms and agricultural firms no longer want to rent cars for transporting crops, but start their own fleet of heavy dump trucks - they can already afford it. Therefore, the demand for KamAZ “agricultural trucks” is stable. Villagers are not in the habit of wasting money: the KamAZ-45143 model (like its successor KamAZ-45144) is indeed very successful, and copes with its tasks one hundred percent.

KamAZ-55102: popular Soviet agricultural vehicle

For a long time, in the Soviet Union there was a shortage of large-capacity vehicles for agricultural needs.
Already at the end of the 70s, engineers and designers of the Kama plant began to solve this problem. As a result, serial production of the KamAZ-55102 agricultural dump truck began in 1980; the last vehicle of this model rolled off the assembly line in our century. The new model had a frame design with a front engine, and was distinguished by a body with folding sides and unloading on the sides. Another difference was the color scheme of the truck, which was mainly painted orange. The underbody of the car is heated by exhaust gases. However, this model was also produced in the form of a chassis with an installed fifth-wheel coupling device, which made it possible to operate the vehicle as a piecework tractor.

Features of the KamAZ-45143 device and the dump trailer for it

The KamAZ-45143 dump truck is produced on the basic 6x4 chassis KamAZ-53215 or KamAZ-65115. This vehicle has a six-by-four wheel arrangement and has decent cross-country ability, feeling confident both on asphalt and dirt roads, as well as on various types of field soils.

Extension sides significantly increase the already decent cubic capacity of the transport platform, and the towing device mounted on all machines of this model allows you to tow a large trailer. Most often, KamAZ-45143 is used as part of a road train: dump truck + trailer (also tipper). The loading platform has the possibility of lateral unloading on both sides. It is possible to supplement the loading platform with additional extensions for transporting hay.

In 2012, KamAZ-45143 received a new type of cab.

According to the manufacturer's definition, KamAZ-45143 is intended “for transportation of various bulk materials, agricultural and industrial cargo with a density of up to 0.75 kg/m3 as part of a road train with a dump trailer.” Equipped with a metal welded platform of rectangular cross-section, box-type, with welded front and folding side boards, the rear side is hinged.

Side boards - with upper and lower hinges, and with locks located on the side frame of the base. The vehicle is equipped with a hydraulic mechanism for raising and lowering the platform. The control of this mechanism is electro-pneumatic, remote from the driver’s cabin. The hydraulic cylinder is telescopic, three-stage, single-acting. Torsion aids make it easier to close extensions and side metal sides. The main sides can be held in the open position by means of chains. Extension sides for KamAZ-45143 can be either wooden or metal.

These features are reflected in the factory vehicle indices: KamAZ-45143-10 - equipped only with main sides; KamAZ-45143-11 – has wooden extension sides; KamAZ-45143-12 - equipped with metal extension sides.

The basic dump trailer for KamAZ-45143 is considered to be the NefAZ-8560-017-06/8560-018-06 dump trailer of the Neftekamsk Automobile Plant. The cargo platform of the trailer is metal, welded, rectangular section, box-type, with welded front and rear sides and folding side sides (rear hinged side - for the NefAZ-8560-18-06 model).

Side boards - with upper and lower hinges, and with locks located on the side frame of the base. The mechanism for raising and lowering the platform is hydraulic, driven by the hydraulic system of the tractor vehicle. The hydraulic cylinder is a three-link telescopic. The trolley is biaxial with a dual-pitch tire.

Brake systems: working - two-line pneumatic drive with anti-lock braking system, brake mechanisms of all wheels - drum type; parking system - pneumatic drive from spring energy accumulators to the brake mechanisms of the rear axle wheels.

Exterior and interior of KamAZ-55102

Structurally, KamAZ-55102 is a three-axle frame truck (six by four wheel arrangement) with a cabover tilting cab, directly under which the diesel engine is located. The car was equipped with an old-style cabin with a metal bumper and a windshield divided by a molding. The first modifications had round headlights, then they were replaced with square ones. As already noted, most dump trucks were orange in color and used a hydraulic rod cylinder to raise and lower the body.

One step leads into the cabin; opening the doors, we find two or three seats, the driver's seat has mechanisms for adjustment in several planes, and a comfortable berth is located behind the seats. The car's single-section dashboard is made of metal; it features conveniently located indicators, although it does not have an anti-reflective coating. The steering column is equipped with power steering, and an inverter (voltage converter), autonomous heater and fan are also located in the cabin. The cabin has noise, heat and vibration protection, although drivers often complain about the latter’s performance.

KamAZ-45143 agricultural worker - characteristics and prices

KamAZ-45143 is a Russian-made dump truck, dating back to the times of the USSR. Compared to more modern competitors, the car is distinguished by a well-thought-out and proven design, the reliability of which has been confirmed by many years of testing, as well as reviews from motorists. The main purpose of this model is the transportation of building materials with the exception of cobblestones and rocks. In addition, KamAZ-45143 is often used in the agricultural sector. Among the key features of the car, we highlight the multifunctional platform, which has the ability to unload on both sides at once, which significantly speeds up the process.

General information and advantages of the model

KamAZ-45143 has been produced for more than ten years, and has proven itself on the positive side. Transport and construction companies willingly buy both new and used copies. The technology has many advantages. In addition to the ability to unload from both sides, the machine has a platform with extension burs - this feature significantly increases the capacity of the cargo compartment. Moreover, version 45143 is already equipped with a tow bar as standard, which allows you to tow heavy trailers.

KamAZ-45143 has the best geometric cross-country ability in its class. Thanks to the capabilities of the frame chassis and high ground clearance, the truck is able to overcome any type of road, even in field conditions. The main thing here is to ensure reliable grip on the wheels. To do this, many install “toothy” tires with deep tread. Such tires significantly increase the already considerable ground clearance, as a result the KamAZ-45143 turns into a real rogue.

Other advantages of the model include a wide dealer network, simple design and inexpensive components. All this makes KamAZ-45143 the most popular cargo in its class. Moreover, it must be said that this car has no analogues on the Russian market, since foreign cars, as a rule, are much more expensive not only in price, but also in the cost of ownership. It turns out that KamAZ-45143 wins here too, largely due to its low price. In addition, the manufacturer continues to produce improvements for KamAZ-45143, and thereby maintains demand for the popular model.

It is worth noting the fact that KamAZ-45143 has proven itself not only in Russia, but also in Eastern Europe. Potential customers often praise the car for its reliability, maneuverability and fuel efficiency in their reviews.

It is noteworthy that KamAZ-45143 exists in several versions, which differ in power and the presence of additional equipment. Thus, the range of manufactured modifications is so wide that it is possible to order a version with unloading on three sides, or choose a version with a body for transporting hay.

Among the most popular configurations are KamAZ-45143-012-15, as well as modifications 45143-013-15 and 45143-011-15. They differ slightly in appearance and design features.

Design and cabin

The KamAZ-45143 cab has a classic design, indistinguishable from trucks of previous years of production. Characteristic features of the previous generation cabin are a hinged front bumper with built-in headlights, as well as a horizontal radiator grille.

Specifications

Parameters, dimensions and load capacity

KamAZ-45143 allows you to transport record volumes of cargo over long distances. The gross weight of the vehicle is 19,355 kg, while the version with a road train has a gross weight of 33,355 kg. The cargo platform area reaches 12.2 square meters. Thus, the maximum weight of transported cargo reaches 10 tons. Despite such impressive figures, the car, when loaded, can accelerate to 80 km/h. The load indicators on the rear and front axles should not exceed 5205 and 4000 kg, respectively. Of course, KamAZ-45143 is equipped with a system for raising and lowering the platform. In this case, the elevation angle is 50 degrees.

The length of the dump truck is 7615 mm, and the height and width are 2900 and 2500 mm, respectively. The volume of the platform in the standard version is 7.8 cubic meters, and the volume of the compartment with additional wooden sides reaches 10 cubic meters. And finally, the volume of the platform with extension metal sides is 15.4 cubic meters.

Engine range, brakes and transmission

KamAZ-45143 is equipped with an 11-liter diesel engine with a maximum power of 240 horsepower. Peak power output is achieved already at 2200 rpm

Drum mechanisms for all wheels, which are supplemented by a pneumatic drive, are responsible for braking in KamAZ-45143. The brake pad width is 140 mm. In addition, there is a package with an ABS anti-lock braking system. Also included in the list of available options is a manual parking screw drive for the rear brakes.

A 9-speed transmission is responsible for changing gears. The clutch is a friction single disc.

Fuel consumption

KamAZ-45143 is a fairly economical truck, even compared to more modern imported analogues. However, fuel consumption may vary depending on the conditions in which you use the machine. For example, in summer, fuel consumption reaches an average of 26 liters per 100 km. In winter, this figure reaches 28 liters. Judging by the reviews from the owners, they are generally satisfied not only with the efficiency of the car, but also with its record power reserve. Although this is not surprising, because the KamAZ-45143 is equipped with a fuel tank with a record capacity of 500 liters. Thanks to this, you can avoid frequent refueling on long trips.

Modifications

As noted above, KamAZ-45143 has become widespread in the rural and construction sectors. The car is often used as part of a road train, together with which the full potential of the dump truck can be revealed. Version 45143 is good because it has a very durable rectangular metal welded structure. Such a cargo platform will ensure the reliability and safety of cargo at any time of the year. And for ease of unloading, folding sides are provided, while the main sides can be held in the open position using special chain fastenings. Unloading is carried out in both directions.

Among the features of the platform, we note the presence of a hydraulic system with remote control. In addition, the design of the platform supports the installation of additional metal sides. So, there are only three modifications of the KamAZ-45143 on the market, which are considered the most popular:

• Version 45143-10 – has a classic design with standard sides
• Version 45143-11 – with wooden extension sides
• Version 45143-12 – with metal extension sides

In addition, the Kama Automobile Plant produced a special version of the truck designed to participate in the Paris-Dakar race, thanks to which KamAZ-45143 gained worldwide fame. The popularity of Russian special equipment is growing every year, and new markets are also emerging. This model perfectly withstands driving in different road and climatic conditions - from sand dunes to Siberian frosts.

KamAZ-4513 is an indispensable freight transport on the Russian market, as well as in post-Soviet countries. The need for such a machine arose during the period of perestroika in the early 1990s, when it was urgently necessary to restore the economy and industrial potential of the country. To this day, the dump truck makes a great contribution to the development of the construction infrastructure of Russia, as well as the CIS countries. Judging by the reviews, the owners speak positively about the KamAZ-45143. In particular, consumers pay special attention to good visibility, reliable handling and a relatively low cost of ownership, which is an order of magnitude lower than that of foreign analogues.

Prices in Russia

KamAZ-45143 is an inexpensive and accessible dump truck that is in steady demand even when new. So, sellers are asking about three million rubles for a new copy. A car in maintained condition will cost approximately 1.7-1.9 million rubles - the same price as a dump truck of the 2007-2008 model years. You can also find more recent versions from 2013-2014 on the secondary market. Their average price is 2.4 million rubles.

As already mentioned, KamAZ-45143 has practically no analogues in its price category when compared with foreign cars. Therefore, as an alternative, we can only recommend KamAZ-53605.

Power unit and fuel consumption of KamAZ-55102

Most of the KamAZ-55102 model vehicles that are found on the country's roads today are equipped with one of two types of engines: KAMAZ 740.31-240 or KAMAZ 740.10.210.

KAMAZ 740.31-240. An eight-cylinder diesel unit with a V-shaped cylinder arrangement and a turbocharging system, which is based on two compressors and a gas turbine. The engine is equipped with forced intercooling technology and a preheater. The latter device makes it possible to start the engine even at 50 degrees below zero.

Engine KAMAZ 740.31 240 hp

The working volume of this turbodiesel is 10.86 liters; at a crankshaft speed of 2,200 rpm, the unit develops a rated power of 240 horsepower. The use of a fuel injection pump (high pressure fuel pump) makes it possible to reduce fuel consumption and reduce the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere. The declared service life of the engine is 800,000 kilometers.

In terms of its environmental parameters, KAMAZ 740.31-240 meets the requirements of the international standard Euro 2.

KAMAZ 740. 10. 210 (Euro 2). In most respects, this power unit is similar to the previous engine; differences appear in small details and engine settings. The only significant difference is the slightly lower power of this turbodiesel – 210 horsepower.

KAMAZ 740. 10. 210

The fuel consumption of KamAZ-55102 depends on its serviceability and operating conditions. The fuel consumption rate when driving without a trailer is only 24 liters per 100 kilometers when driving at a speed of 60 km/h. If you have a trailer, this figure increases to 35 liters. If the car moves at a speed of 80 km/h, then the fuel consumption will be 31 or 47 liters per 100 km (without a trailer/with a trailer). In the basic configuration, KamAZ-55102 is equipped with a fuel tank with a capacity of 175 liters; many dump trucks are equipped with additional tanks.

Transmission and electrical equipment KamAZ-55102

The main element of the KamAZ-55102 transmission is the gearbox of the KamAZ-14 or KamAZ-15 model. Both gearboxes are five-speed, but the first manual transmission lacks a divider, which limits the number of forward gears to five. Thanks to the use of a two-stage divider on the KamAZ-15 gearbox, it was possible to obtain ten forward and two reverse speeds. All forward gears are engaged using synchronizers, and rear gears are engaged through gear couplings. The box is controlled remotely using a rocker lever.

The truck is equipped with a dry diaphragm-type double-disc clutch, hydraulically driven and pneumatically assisted.

Electrical appliances and electrical circuits of the car are powered by two acid-base 12-volt batteries with a total capacity of 380 A/hour, operating voltage - 24 volts. The wiring is single-shot, and an inverter is installed in the truck cab to control the voltage. In addition, the machine is equipped with a powerful two-kilowatt generator.

Brake system and suspension KamAZ-55102

The braking system of a car involves the presence of four brakes, which have common design parts, but can work independently. The KamAZ-55102 is equipped with drum-type pneumatic brakes, each wheel is equipped with a drum with a diameter of 400 millimeters with brake linings, a width of 140 millimeters. The manufacturer has provided an emergency mechanism for releasing the brakes of the truck wheels.

The main structural element of the KamAZ-55102 agricultural vehicle is a riveted frame, which is reinforced with two longitudinal spars and transverse beams. Both trucks (rear and front) are equipped with anti-roll bars, which prevent dangerous roll of the car and protect it from tipping over. The front suspension consists of springs that perform their function together with hydraulic shock absorbers. The rear suspension is reinforced with additional leaf springs, which allows it to withstand heavy loads.

Detailed technical characteristics of the KamAZ-55102 dump truck are presented here:

characteristics and prices, photos and review

KamAZ-55102 is a three-axle agricultural dump truck-tractor designed for transporting a wide range of bulk cargo (including as part of a road train) on roads of any category, as well as in field conditions.

Serial production of this truck at the Kama Automobile Plant was launched in 1980 - it turned out to be so successful that it quickly gained popularity in the domestic market. During its history, the car was modernized many times, and after many years on the assembly line it was already “retired”.

The overall length of the KamAZ “55102” extends to 7435 mm, its wheelbase is 3190 mm (the distance between the axles of the rear bogie is another 1320 mm), and the height and width are 2630 mm and 2500 mm (3120 mm including external mirrors ) respectively. The minimum ground clearance of the car does not exceed 280 mm.

When equipped, the dump truck-tractor weighs 9,075 kg, and its load capacity reaches 7,500 kg. The total vehicle weight is 16,575 kg, of which 5,694 kg rests on the front axle, and 10,881 kg on the rear bogie.

This “agricultural vehicle” is capable of towing trailers with a maximum weight of up to 11,500 kg, working as part of a road train weighing over 28,000 kg.

KamAZ-55102 by default has a rectangular metal dump platform with three opening sides, three-way unloading and a hydraulic lifting mechanism. The length and width of the body are 5335 mm and 2320 mm, respectively, and the standard height of the sides does not exceed 635 mm (however, due to extension sides they can be increased by 620 mm).

KamAZ-55102 comes with several variants of power units - these are diesel V-shaped “eights” of the “740” family with turbocharging, direct “power” and closed-type liquid cooling, developing from 210 to 240 horsepower and from 667 to 765 Nm of torque .The engines are combined with 5- or 10-speed manual transmissions, a dry double-disc clutch and four driven rear bogie wheels with a locking rear axle center differential.

Depending on the modification, the maximum dump truck-tractor can accelerate to at least 80-85 km/h. In the summer, diesel fuel consumption for a car is 26.5 liters, and in winter – 29.2 liters.

The KamAZ “55102” is based on a ladder riveted frame with channel-section spars interconnected by seven stamped cross members, on which an all-metal cabin (with a two- or three-seat layout) is mounted. The front suspension of the truck is represented by a dependent system on two semi-elliptical springs, and the rear suspension is a dependent spring-balance design. The vehicle is equipped with a steering complex of a “worm” configuration, equipped with a hydraulic power steering. “Selkhoznik” boasts pneumatic brakes and drum devices with a diameter of 400 mm on all wheels.

The new cabin, like the previous one, tilts forward to access the engine; has the best noise, vibration and thermal insulation characteristics.

Reviews from KamAZ-45143 owners

Owners of KamAZ-45143 agricultural dump trucks note with pleasure and even some surprise its reliability and decent quality. The frame and loading platform of the “farmer” are very strong, there is no need to weld or paint; corrosion, at least for the first 5-6 years of use, is not observed. The same cannot be said fully about the cabin. Here the quality of the metal is such that after several seasons of operation it has to be “restored to divine form.”

The power of any of the engines that are presented in the line for this model of dump truck is enough with a reserve. The motors are trouble-free and unpretentious. However, the manufacturer, as usual, “embellished” the fuel consumption figures in the performance characteristics. According to the testimonies of the owners of agricultural vehicles, twenty-six liters of diesel fuel per 100 kilometers of travel is never obtained. Less than 30 liters per 100 kilometers does not work, even with an empty body and without a trailer.

Cross-country ability is excellent. Naturally, the car is not suitable for a serious “safari” on muddy off-road and muddy roads, but if necessary, it will confidently pass even on very bad dirt roads. And he walks across the field completely without tension. In the cabin, according to the owners of KamAZ-45143, there is only the bare minimum of comfort. The seat is the most ordinary KamAZ, from which at the end of the shift “your back begins to hurt,” the interior trim, although modernized, is still “in the spirit of the good old days.”

However, the owners of “farm trucks” are ready to come to terms with all this: after all, a grain dump truck (as well as a seed, silage, hay and much more hauler) is, first of all, created for work. But he works hard, doesn’t let him down during the busy times, and the cost of ownership is not exorbitant.

Price of KamAZ dump trucks - “agricultural trucks”

As already noted, in the current price list of the Kama Automobile Plant, the KamAZ-45143 model was replaced by another three-axle “agricultural truck” - KamAZ-45144. A new car with a Cummins engine costs from 4.5 million rubles; and with a KamAZ engine - from 3.85 million rubles.

There are a lot of used KamAZ-45143 vehicles offered for sale on the secondary car market in the CIS, especially in traditional agricultural regions. The price range is wide: depending on the year of manufacture, the working life and technical condition of a particular car, they ask for it from 1.2 million to 3 million rubles.
