BelAZ-75600: specifications and photos

Automobile association BelAZ has released another "monster". The new truck is considered to be the largest in the post-Soviet space and one of the largest in the world. BelAZ-75600 is a huge dump truck designed for quarrying, in addition, it is actively used on Kuzbass excavations. The width of the car is 9.2 meters, length - 14.5 meters, height - 7.2 meters. With such dimensions, the giant has a mass of 250 tons, and its payload capacity is calculated at 320 tons.

Powertrain Overview

This truck is equipped with a diesel engine Cummins QSK 78-C. Its power - three and a half thousand horsepower at a couple thousand rpm, there is a system of starting pneumatic starter. The volume of the engine is 78 liters. The cooling unit is equipped with an adjustable impeller, which makes it possible to operate the car in hot weather and at sub-zero temperatures.

The supply of rubbing parts with oil is carried out by a full-flow filtration system with four pumping units. The power unit of BelAZ-75600 is equipped with electronics, which minimizes the human factor in controlling its operation modes.

With this volume and power, the motor consumes relatively little fuel. In the recalculation of 1 kW of power, about 200 grams of fuel are consumed. The volume of fuel tank allows to work uninterruptedly for 16 hours. The traction generator with a power of more than 2.5 thousand kW is driven by the motor and is designed to power a pair of Siemens electric motors with a total capacity of 2,400 kW.

Chassis

BelAZ-75600, the size of which is comparable to the three-story house, is equipped with a frame of a spatial type made of high-strength alloy steel sheets. Strengthen the design in places of maximum loads cast parts. Despite the impressive size, the dump truck can turn on the 33-meter platform. This is possible thanks to a short base providing good maneuverability.

The Belarusian giant has a standard basic formula - four wheels, a pair of which is the leading one. The front axle is equipped with a dependent suspension with an air-hydraulic unit. The rear drive uses a lever assembly with a central hinge. This design provides high stability of the truck and ease of control. Compared with analogues, the dynamic load on the driver is reduced by 2-3 times.

Other data

The brakes of the BelAZ-75600 dump truck consist of a pair of hydraulic circuits, and this also applies to the parking block. In the locking system, traction motors are also used, which switch to the generator mode and affect the cooling of the braking resistors. In an emergency situation, the parking brake and the working contour of the main unit are engaged.

In the car body is placed from 140 to 200 cubic meters of slag or rock, depending on the degree of loading. Additional security provides a massive visor. The cabin is designed for two people, meets all the standards of ergonomics and safety. Provides a video review system and a convenient management system. Three pedals are installed, but instead of the usual clutch, a retarder is installed here. Also, the cruise control monitors the speed control on the descent. The speedometer sensors and the speed of the motor light are on the display. Each tubeless wheel of the car in question weighs about eight tons, for its installation requires a special loader-manipulator.

Information of a technical nature

BelAZ-75600, whose technical characteristics are simply impossible to compare with domestic trucks, is intended for transportation of minerals, quarries and other bulk cargoes outside public roads.

Basic data of the car:

• Length / width / height (m) - 14,5 / 9,2 / 7,2.
• Weight (kg), full / loaded - 5 600/2 400.
• The power unit is Cummins QSK.
• The generator is Kato (2,536 kilowatts).
• Electric motors - Siemens (2 to 1 200 kW).
• The volume of the body (m3) is 140-200.
• Speed to the maximum (km / h) - 65.
• Turning radius (m) - 16,6.
• Carrying capacity (kg) - 320 thousand.

Features

Some fans of huge vehicles are interested in what size of rectangular headlights BelAZ-75600? In fact, the light elements of this machine have a standard size for heavy vehicles. In enhanced searchlights, there is no need, since workings out, according to safety regulations, are conducted during the daytime. And rectangular elements the size of a washing machine, which can be taken for the headlights, are air filters.

Modifications

In the line BelAZ-75600 there are two more modifications, which differ in engines and load-carrying capacity. The following is a brief overview of each of them:

1. Model 75601. The truck is capable of transporting up to 360 tons of cargo, is equipped with a power unit MTU 20V400. Power - 2,8 thousand kW, Kato rotary type generator. A bunch of engine with wheels occurs through a combination of an electric motor and a two-row planetary gear. The systems are integrated in the rear wheels, equipped with tires measuring 59/80 R63. The total weight of the truck reaches 610 thousand kg, the volume of cargo - 218 cubic meters. The maximum acceleration of the car is 64 km / h.
2. Variant 75602. The largest dump truck from the series in question can carry a cargo weighing 360 tons, it has a diesel 1 TB330-2GA03, which allows you to transport increased weight. Developers, in addition, managed to reduce fuel consumption to 198 g / kW per hour.

Verification in action

BelAZ-75600, whose characteristics are not suitable for ordinary roads, can be tested exclusively in the field, or rather, at its usual workplace. Even deliveries of these cars are carried out by rail in disassembled form or on cargo planes.

To start moving on this "monster" is not so difficult. It is enough to switch the toggle switch to the "forward" position, press the gas and release the handbrake. The cabin looks quite small compared to the general exterior. In fact, it is double, equipped with a rollover protection and air conditioning. The car starts to move smoothly, there are absolutely no jerks and obstacles. Just get used to the dimensions of such a giant is not easy.

The steering is soft and light thanks to its excellent power steering. Electric transmission eliminates the need to activate the diesel engine maneuvering in the workshop, the two brake pedals are responsible for timely braking, cruise control helps on descent. The standard disc brake serves for the final stop, and the main function is performed by the retarder. The car perfectly enters into sharp turns, despite of the dimensions.

Conclusion

The huge BelAZ-75600 dump truck, photo of which is placed above, is by right the largest truck in the CIS. The car is in demand on quarries, it is able to transport more than three hundred tons of cargo at a time. As a rule, such units are exploited to the maximum, in order to work out their value, which exceeds one million dollars per unit.

The machine under consideration is a direct competitor among similar "monsters" on the world level. And this applies to both the dimensions, the load-carrying capacity and the price. There are not so many similar trucks in the world. All of them are involved in heavy industries and interact with the same powerful and impressive excavators and loaders.
