Cargo dump truck "Skania" is the most reliable modern cargo carrier, including bulk: sand, cement, rubble. Downloadable materials may be the most varied consistency and viscosity. The carrying capacity of the machine is 39 tons in a three-axis version and 45 for a four-axle version.
Eight-wheeled dump trucks are used mainly on career developments, for the transport of rock rock and other materials.

Swedish production is primarily a car chassis, ready for further layout of various modules. The final superstructure may differ in the body and dimensions.
"Skania" - dump truck (photos are posted in the article), which is created using the most recent achievements in the field of heavy truck production. The concern is confidently leading in this area.
Currently, the company "Skania" produces two types of dump trucks - construction and career. The latter are distinguished by more voluminous bodies. They also have overestimated boards. The most modern versions are available with protective visors hanging over the cab.
Establishment
The most popular models of building dump trucks are "Skania" P380SV and "Skania" P124SV. Experienced mines prefer to operate in quarry dump trucks "Skania" G440NZ and "Skania" P420EHZ, like superneckless, reliable machines.
Among the German "mans", Russian "KAMAZ", the French "Renault Truck" Swedish dump truck "Skania" ahead of comfort. The car's cab is equipped with all the necessary, bedrooms, air conditioning, refrigerator.

Career model G440.
"The dump truck" Skania "for the transportation of rocks has a particularly durable body. And if swedish company In principle does not buy engines abroad, but installs on dump trucks only its own production on dump trucks, then the bodies are different. The company "SKANY" is associated with the Polish manufacturers for the supply of KH-KIPPER dump trucks.
The body supplied from Poland is divided into two types: with a capacity of 16 and 20 cubic meters. Twenty-chubs are installed on a four-axle chassis, and a body of 16 cubes - on a three-axle.
Engine
On the dump truck "Skania" G440 (8 x 4) is established force aggregate DC13 102, with a capacity of 440 hp and the working volume of cylinders 11,880 cm / cm. The engine is equipped with a turbocharged and intercooler. The motor corresponds to the EURO-4 environmental standard, is equipped with a PDE power system and four-valve cylinder heads. Standard air filter The engine is reinforced by a special nozzle "cyclone", which contributes to the complete cleavage of dusty particles. Under career developments, double filtering is a prerequisite.
Strict standardization are subject to strict standardization lubricantsused in "Skania" motors. It is believed that motor oil The durability of the engine depends. It is difficult to disagree with this. Both the manufacturer and service services of the company "Skania" conduct thorough testing of both motor and transmission oilsbefore sending them to filling stations and to maintenance points.
Operating parameters
Characteristics of "Skania" - dump trucks designed for construction and operation in careers are presented below.
The engine is aggregated with GRSO925R gearbox, mechanical typewhich operates 12 front speeds and two rear. The attractiveness of this mechanism is the presence of accelerating transmission (12th), which should be immediately behind the straight (11th). The speed switch is equipped with a monitoring device that optimizes the operation of the CP in difficult road conditions or on full off-road. Thanks to the system, the best gear shift algorithm relative to the load on the engine is generated. However, it is impossible to rely only on automation, the driver must actively participate in the truck management.
Special attention was paid to optimizing braking effort when moving dump trucks on construction sites or in a quarry. Since the dump trucks "Skania" have type on all wheels, it was decided to establish a powerful R4100 retarder in the system, which provides a slowdown in the braking torque in the value of 4100 units. These indicators indicate the efficiency of the device. Thanks to him, unloading the working brake system. The use of an effective five-speed retarder significantly reduces the wear of the pads.
Strengthening chassis
The dump truck "Skania" with an increase in the suspension workloads demanded the amplification of the support-shock absorption nodes. The front springs were reinforced with additional sheets, and rear bridges Received, except for the addition sheets, another contributing to the uniform distribution of the load throughout the back truck, which carries a lot of 32 tons.
Modernization of power aggregate
Currently, in the company "Skania" are conducted research work By increasing the engine resource. Premature wear of the compression rings and cylinders forced the owners to make a motor overhaul. Today, work is underway to chrome the inner surface of the cylinders. This is an archent process, since the finest chromium film should cover the cylinder mirror evenly and remain intact for a long time. While the encouraging results of Motorostroites the company "Skania" have not reached, and remains at the same level, however, quite high enough.
Today we will try to hold comparative analysis Multiple tractor famous marks. All trucks are adapted to russian roadsBut they have their own distinguishing features.
Man.
Let's start with the German company "MAN", this truck is rightfully considered " working horse" Firstly, this tractor is inexpensive, its average cost ranges in the area of \u200b\u200b30,000 thousand euros, it has a gearbox of the ZF AS-TRONIC class and the average power of 430 hp, parabolic suspension, which is ideal for highways. Standard fuel tank per 400 liters, and the most big flow 40.9 liters per 100 km of "MAN" tractor shows only in complex areas of the road. It is worth noting that this truck gives a very high torque on low revs, in other words, on any gear, the engine clearly responds to pressing the gas pedal.
Maintenance of this is most profitable and can always be found. required spare parts. In addition, one of distinctive features tractor "man" is a cabin, the interior is thought out to small details, plastic cheap, but looks very good, there is a small on-board computer, the driver can always determine the speed, fuel consumption and even determine which transmission the machine is moving. The tractor itself is pretty light among the trucks of this class. Full weight Single tractor is 6,730 kg in this mass included driver and full tank. Of the minuses it is worth noting the presence of periodic failures in the onboard computer.
One of the competitors "MAN" is considered to be Swedish tractor "Scania". This truck is equipped with a tougher suspension with the calculation of bad roads. The average power of this tractor is 415 hp, the gearbox can be both automatic OptiCruis and ZF TANSMATIC, the fuel tank is designed for 500 liters, and the average consumption is 35 liters per 100 km. The cabin is comfortable, without getting up from the chair, the driver can reach any button, the machine can be integrated with an audio system and climate control. The cost varies depending on the configuration and on average is 60 000 euros. The minuses include problems in fuel systemNot all SCANIA cars are adapted to Russian poor-quality gasoline and diesel fuel, and the maintenance of this truck will be in a penny.
Volvo FH 16.
The most expensive competitor is considered to be the tractor of the VOLVO brand. This truck is considered the safest, maneuverable and comfortable among others. Engine power 500 hp, 12-speed box with automatic transmission Volvo I-SHIFT, fuel tank of 600 liters, average consumption of 30 liters per 100 km. Inside the car, the driver feels very comfortable, finishing the interior of the class "Lux", climate (cruise) - control, refrigerator and even safe. It is worth noting that the brand truck is much ahead of its competitors on the parameters of noise and thermal insulation. However, the truck is very expensive, its average cost is 80,000 euros. It is worth noting that russian market The driver is not very easy to find spare parts for this tractor.
Volvo FH 16 2012
The last in our review, but far from the characteristics, the French brand "Renault" truck differs from its other ease and fuel consumption of 25 liters per 100 km. It is intended mainly for regional routes. Engine power is 350 -400 hp, Optidriver + or TBV gearbox (Telecommande de Bolte de Viteseses), the driver uses no speed switch lever, but a special selector. Fuel tank The "Renault" tractor contains 450 liters, plus a heat exchanger for heating fuel is provided. Cabin at the Renault tractor is completely separated from motor compartment, the driver feels comfortable and quite freely, in addition, the driver with the help of indicators on dashboard always aware of wear brake shoes, fuel, oil, coolant level and fuel consumption. Move inside the cab is very easy, since the floor is absolutely smooth. The cost of the truck fluctuates in the area of \u200b\u200b37,000 euros. By minuses can be attributed frequent problems With thermostat, expensive maintenance., Plus, the entire driver is not familiar to climb into the inside of the truck, since it is completely separated from the engine compartment.
When choosing a truck, you need to decide for yourself what goals you are haunting. If you like comfort and innovative technologies, then the best choice The tractor of the Volvo brand will become about fuel consumption, then more economical "Renault" you will not find, the SCANIA truck, more than the rest is suitable for Russian expensive, but the German company "MAN" remain certainly the favorite. They are good, above all, their price, inexpensive maintenance, decent comfort and abundant availability of spare parts. In addition, if not one of the listed trucks does not suit you, then you can pay your attention to the tractors of other brands, such as DAF, Mercedes, Iveco.
The market for used and new trucks So diverse that a person who came to the cargo market for the first time, eyes simply run up. It is difficult to make a choice, but mostly not because of the wealth of choice, but due to the price ratio. After all, if earlier in the Russian market, the queen of tractor, undoubtedly there was a race, then after the release of the new trunk tractor KAMAZ-5490, priorities were seriously shaken. And this is not just like that.
Let's figure it out. The new trunk tractor KAMAZ-5490 will cost about 4 million rubles. This, of course, is exormably expensive for tractor russian assembly, But he is new. For the same amount you can buy proven three-year-old generations, but the car will be already with mileage. So what is better? With the analysis of this question, I will rely on the personal opinion and the data of the survey of drivers, as well as the opinion of the Company, expressed on the Internet.
New KAMAZ-5490
If close to this question and immediately can be noted a negative attitude towards domestic products from drivers who traveled on different Kamaz. Yes, the year has supported the reputation of the negligent manufacturer. The quality of past kamaz was terrible and this is not a myth, but harsh reality. Tractors went off the conveyor insufficient, there were some necessary details on them, such as a jack, mirrors, etc. Everyone who bought a domestic truck, knew that after that it was necessary to draw a broach, to drive to the diagnosis, to do the car, repairing it seems new car. But the demand for KAMAZ is still steady.
You will ask why? Yes, because there are no equal prices. Kamaz is very cheap, if you look, from a professional point of view. Therefore, still demand for new domestic trucks is very stable. Even close trucks from China cannot compete in the price with our domestic truck. But a new KAMAZ came to the arena. If we tell the truth, then the domestic is extremely small in it, because it is nothing more than the Mercedes-Benz tractor acts of the past model. And buyers were looking at the domestic truck in a different way. Nice design, new cabin (finally), powerful and, most importantly, reliable engine. It is thanks to these qualities that KAMAZ-5490 is confidently moving towards leadership positions, but can not catch up with the old woman. Why?
I will cite an example of statistics, which has recently spent one unsolving magazine, promoting the topic of far fight. To draw up statistics, truckers were asked only one question: "Would you change your tractor to a new KAMAZ-5490?" The answers for and against divided by approximately half among the respondents. The very highlight of this survey was here: no trucker who works on a foreign tractor, disregarded the domestic truck. All the arguments were different, but in almost every argument was the phrase "foreign car is more reliable." By the way, the interviewed rodied even on the old ten-year tractors and did not agree.
Of course, everyone understands that a foreign car is more reliable and the fact that simple for a trucker means a loss of money. But really on such a huge car giant have not yet learned to collect high-quality cars?
Used Skania
Skania or how else calls "bench" for many truckers is a benchmark. Reliable, powerful, fast, maintainable. Here are 4 major components for long-range tractor. I do not in vain, I took it to compare it. There is nothing to tell about it, since it is just a car for work that does not require eternal repairs, especially if the owner goes. This item is especially important in operation of the tractor if you are a person understanding this issue.
Following the results of the same survey, many drivers said that it was better to take old chains than to contact Kamaz.
What bribers the rocks? To answer this question I had to shut up a lot of forums and personally chat with truckers. They are sociable people and therefore for one question I heard many answers.
If you take, in general, the answer to happen something like this: "Skania is a reliable, tested by time, if you take care of it, then two and a half million kilometers will pass to overhaul. Kamaz is not yet tested by time and no one knows his resource, and truckers do not like to communicate with the unknown. "
If you ask the question yourself, and I would move with foreign cars on domestic technique, I probably definitely answered "no". Perhaps, this is largely due to the fact that I was born and grew up in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny, exactly where Kamaz was produced. Probably, each third local works at the factory and therefore information about what is being done at the factory, even debt. In the meantime, the plant will be in such a state, care for workers will be at the lowest level, the quality of products will not rise.
So, summing up this article you can emphasize that for the trucker the most important thing is confidence in the car, in its subsequent kilometer. In the meantime, the quality of domestic products will be at such a low level, we can not compete with foreigners. Therefore, the choice between two competitors is undoubtedly falling on the used SCJ.
