To date, no miningthe enterprise can not do without the use of heavy and productive special machinery, namely quarry dump trucks. The Swedish company Volvo does not stand in one place and gradually develops new and new models of trucks that are perfectly suitable for operation in different conditions. In addition, the company is actively engaged in the development and production of more passable equipment designed for operation in quarries (that is, where highway trucks will not pass).
One such dump truck is a carThe Volvo-A35F. For the first time it began to be mass-produced in 1996, after which the special equipment experienced many improvements and improvements. At the moment the dump truck "Volvo-A35F" is an example for many articulated trucks, and today we will consider what features this Swedish car carries.
Differences from conventional machines
Articulated dumper truckThe Volvo-A35F is distinguished by its high cross-country capability. This is a true all-terrain vehicle, because it can overcome even the swampy and stony terrain. In such conditions, even the all-wheel drive SUV risks getting stuck, and Volvo thanks to the articulation easily passes in the most inaccessible places.
What is articulation?
And now more about this. This feature of the truck "Volvo-A35F" implies the complete absence of a rigid frame (as it is on the road cars). Instead of it, the entire construction of the machine is connected by a hinge. In this case, the body of the cabin is independent and can be rotated separately. And this, in turn, positively affects the patency, which was described a little higher.
Specifications
A large dump truck "Volvo-A35F"It is equipped with a special system that automatically distributes the required force to the wheels. Thus, the car can have a wheel formula of 6 x 4 or 6 x 6 (depending on the quality of the road). As a result of this technology, engineers have been able to significantly reduce the level of tire wear and at the same time reduce the average fuel consumption.
As for the engine, a dump truckThe Volvo-A35F is equipped with one turbo-diesel engine with a capacity of 469 horsepower. Thanks to such a powerful unit, the car is capable of carrying loads of more than 33 tons, while its weight is 30 tons. In addition to excellent performance and load capacity, quarry dump trucks (photo model "A35F" you can see below) have a good cargo compartment volume of 20.5 cubic meter.
Where can this special equipment be used?
Scope of operation of mining dump trucks"Volvo-A35F" is quite wide. They can efficiently transport bulk materials not only in quarries, but also at construction sites, quickly transport cargo when cutting timber and even operate in oil producing plants. Therefore, the quarry "Volvo-A35F" meets all modern requirements of reliability and comfort.
