Utility vehicle: varieties and scope

The modern market for public transport is represented by a wide range of equipment, including snow-removing, watering machines, loaders and excavators.

Varieties

The utility machine can be equipped with a mechanical or vacuum selection principle. Transport of the second type has become most widespread in European countries. The main elements are brushes of various types and a turbine, which forms a vacuum.

A sweeper of a mechanical type has a special conveyor, which provides sweeping of debris into the inner container. Two types of equipment are produced: in the form of trailers and self-propelled machinery. Compact spreads of harvesting equipment have become quite widespread. Also do not lose their popularity the usual wheeled tractors, supplemented by attachments.

Among the universal machines are mini-loaders, which are adapted for equipping with various types of samples. They can be supplemented with a material spreader, a snow blower, a turning blade, a variety of options for brushes and buckets.

Watering Machines

Watering municipality equipment of both universal and specialized type is designed for wet cleaning of roads and maintenance of plantings. In the winter, it works with a plow-brush tool. The design consists of a container, a rubber dump, a nozzle for ejecting water and a pump unit. The principle of operation is based on the supply of water from the tank to the nozzles placed on the front bumper. The pump is controlled by a remote control, the average speed is 5 km / h.

Transport for winter use

Despite the fact that many cars are supplemented with equipment for work in the cold season, today municipal equipment is quite common, intended only for winter use. Most often it is operated simultaneously with snow melting and has a brush, screw-rotor or milling-rotor equipment. The oil pump is driven by the power unit and ensures the operation of each hydraulic section. Winter operation requires the addition of such devices as:

• A device for the distribution of reagents based on salt or sand;
• Trapezoidal section;
• Specialized body parts;
• Snow dumps (speed and standard type).

Waste trucks and wastes

Without special devices, waste disposal is impossible, including container garbage trucks, bunker trucks and garbage trucks with back and side loading. Most often in the streets there is a last version, because of the extensive distribution of garbage containers made in the middle of the last century. In large cities by popularity they are not inferior to the communal car with the rear type of loading. This option provides processing of large open containers, has a high coefficient of compaction, that is able to remove a large amount of debris during one trip.

Bunker trucks are indispensable when working with open containers filled with construction and large household waste. Some variants are capable of carrying simultaneously a cargo within 8 tons.

Do not forget about the wastewater and the sludge necessary for cleaning sewage systems and water wells, subject to systematic siltation and clogging. Flushing of pipes is carried out by transport, which, with the help of special nozzles, removes all contamination from internal surfaces.

Combined technology

The combined communal machine provides high-quality processing of city streets, roads and has in its equipment sandblasting and plow-brush devices. At the heart of its design is a Russian all-wheel drive truck. He is able to ride on any road surface, which is especially important in the winter when working on a snowy road and ice. It is worth noting that few cars can provide quality processing under such conditions. An additional advantage is the weight, which reaches 20 tons. In equipping the communal machine also has a cistern and a spreading mechanism. In winter, ice often appears on the roadway, which increases the number of accidents and traffic jams. In such weather conditions, you can not do without combined devices. They move along roads and evenly distribute sand and loose active reagents that dissolve the ice cake and prevent the formation of a new one.

Municipal road vehicles are realized both in the initial configuration, and with additional equipment in the form of chain and attachments. In the warm season, watering and brushing devices replace the plow and spreading devices.
