To date, the engineering industry has achieved great success in the production of various models of dump trucks, which are constantly being improved. Modern dump trucks KAMAZ 65115 have become a very popular model in their segment in the market of Russia and the CIS and will easily compete with foreign cargo technique.
The characteristics of various trucks may differ depending on the features of the structure and functioning: the type of body (platform or bunker of different configurations), the method of retrieving the load (forced or tilted), the direction of unloading (the body can tilt back or sideways). >
In terms of carrying capacity, dump trucks are significantly inferior to trucks with a fixed platform. But their main advantage is that the use of such a technique can significantly save time, effort and money on unloading the material. Therefore, the demand for dump trucks is very high, especially in construction. Such machines are used both in the construction of large buildings or complexes, and in private construction (especially for the delivery of bulk materials and garbage disposal). In addition to construction, dump trucks are widely used in quarrying, where they are indispensable for transporting rocks.
Specialized vehicles that are produced in Russia (GAZ, KRAZ, ZIL, URAL and KAMAZ), mainly have a carrying capacity of up to 40 tons. American and European enterprises also produce more powerful dump trucks. They are equipped with several axles (five or even seven), which, if necessary, can be separately raised and not used if the body is not fully loaded. Some heavy-duty models of special equipment are simply huge in size and weight (even several hundred tons) and highly specialized use.
Since such special equipment requires a large amount of means for maintenance and operation, its choice must be approached very responsibly.
