What is the largest in a dump truck. The largest mining machines and equipment

BelAZ-75710

The largest mining dump truck for transporting rock worldwide BelAZ - 75 710 is produced at Belarusian plant. The load capacity of this machine is 450 tons, and full mass almost 810 tons. Dimensions inspire respect and admiration: more than 8 meters high, almost 10 meters wide and almost 21 meters long. The giant is equipped with two diesel engines with a total power of 4600 hp and has four-wheel drive and a top speed of just over 60 km/h. Of course, one cannot fail to mention the disadvantage that comes logically from the size of the car, and this is the fuel consumption of the dump truck.

Liebherr-T282B

At one time the most big dump truck received a lot of positive feedback at the exhibition. And no wonder, because the carrying capacity is 363 tons. Own weight is 230 tons. The ratio of the total and transported weight is impressive. Comes with two engines. Very comfortable for the driver.

XCMG DE400

Chinese development - the XCMG DE400 dump truck strikes with a width of ten meters, was presented to the experts in 2012. Its length is almost 16 meters, and the height is 7.6 meters, and up to 360 tons of rock can be loaded into it. Max Speed car 50 km / h and with such dimensions it is also impressive. Before the advent of BelAZ - 75710, it was the largest.

Terex 33-19 Titan

The dump truck manufactured in Canada by Terex 33 - 19 Titan also, having entered the market for the first time in the mid-seventies, surpassed all analogues, being the first in the world with a carrying capacity of almost 320 tons. Was only made single copy, and having worked until the early nineties, it was installed as a monument near the highway near Sparwood, a Canadian city.

Liebherr T284

The Liebherr T 284 dump truck today has no equal in height, which is 8.3 meters, the length of the giant is 15.7 meters, but the width is 8.9 meters. The mass with loaded rock reaches 600 tons. The company is also known for producing large truck cranes.

Bucyrus MT6300AC

The American dump truck Bucyrus M T 6300 AC was launched in early 2008 and is equipped with an engine with a rated power of 3750 hp. It has had its name since 2010 and before that it was called Terex Unit Rig MT 63 00 AC.

Caterpillar 7 9 7 F

The US-made Caterpillar 7 9 7 F dump truck with a total weight of more than 620 tons is still the winner in size among all American manufacturers. In the background is a large mining excavator. And you can find out about the winners of the competitions held in Russia among ATV and SSV owners by looking at the corresponding site. Video: trophy raids are available for viewing to everyone.

Komatsu 960E

The brainchild of Japanese engineers, the Komatsu 960 E is by far the most large dump truck among Komatsu models.
The car is equipped with V figurative engine with a rated power of 3500 hp The length of the car is 15.6 meters, and the height is more than 7 meters, and despite this, the Komatsu 960E is comfortable and easy to drive, because it is equipped with various systems designed for this.

Bel AZ 75 600

Bel AZ 75 600 has the ability to carry up to 320 tons. Its total mass after loading maximum number rocks can be 560 tons. It is almost fifteen meters long, and its engine develops over three and a half thousand horsepower. With all its enormous size and carrying capacity, it can reach speeds of up to 64 km / h.
The size of all these vehicles, their power and the ability to carry hundreds of tons of cargo, impose on them the impossibility of saving on fuel. Its consumption, as already mentioned, is simply huge, but with the impressive size of the tank, it is just enough for a working day.

Each of us knows that for loading, moving and quickly unloading bulk materials and other cargo better than a dump truck no one has come up with anything yet. And I am glad that the largest mining dump truck in the world was produced not in America and not in Japan, but by the BelAZ plant in Belarus.

General information

The innovative model of the giant left the assembly line in 2013 by order of the Siberian Business Union holding. With a carrying capacity of four hundred and fifty tons, the firstborn of the largest dump truck successfully works at a coal deposit in the Kemerovo region, replacing several dozen other models of dump trucks at once.

Due to the fact that Belarusian engineers lovingly approached the creation of the most powerful more cargo, without dropping, in pursuit of dimensions, the level of quality due to compliance with technology, allowed the largest mining dump truck in the world BelAZ-75710 in 2014 to enter the Guinness Book of Records.

This giant was able to move a load of 503.5 tons on test terrain, which threw off the nearest American and European competitors, maximum load capacity which are about 363 tons, far back.

So, in order not to talk about the decline of the economy and the standard of living in Belarus, the country managed to bypass manufacturers around the world by releasing the largest type of special equipment designed to provide dump truck services.

Technical parameters BelAZ-75710

BelAZ-75710 was able to surprise potential consumers and competitors not only with its dimensions, but also with the solution of a number of complex design tasks that allow you to get both visual and practical pleasure, namely:

1. With an impressive weight of 810 tons, this mining dump truck is capable of accelerating to 64 km/h, which makes it one step ahead of its competitors, especially in quarrying. To give you an idea of ​​what is being said here, here are some comparisons:

• BelAZ-75710 weighs more than the world's largest aircraft Airbuc A380.
• A payload of 450 tons equals the weight of about 300 Ford Focuc or total mass 37 double-decker buses, well, or the weight of two large and one small whales.

1. The Internet is replete with photographs of people against the background of the wheels of this giant. Of course, for people who are twice the height, wheels are required special engine that would make them move. Here, for obvious reasons, two such engines are installed, total power 4600 horsepower which is also a world record. In the world you will not find such a number of “horses” under the “hood” of any type of transport. Naturally, there are also 2 fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 2800 liters.
2. The all-wheel drive model BelAZ-75710 has two operating modes. This means that the loaded equipment is served by two diesel generators, and the empty one - by one. This feature was developed by engineers for economic purposes, since the only drawback of the huge dump truck is its fuel consumption of 1300 l / 100 km. But with its carrying capacity and cross-country ability, this figure is not so terrible, especially since mining is constantly growing, and at the same time, the need for such large mining trucks is growing.
3. This special equipment is designed to carry out work increased complexity in deep quarries, feels quite well with temperature conditions from - 50 to + 50 degrees.
4. High stability without changing the smoothness of the ride and increased maneuverability contribute to overcoming long slopes up to twelve percent (slopes on short sections of roads - up to 18%).

Additional specifications are shown in the table:

By issuing such powerful model of heavy-duty mining dump trucks, the manufacturers set themselves the goal of achieving a reduction in the cost of a ton of transported cargo, which they got at the exit from the assembly line. The need for such machines will only grow.

Top 10 biggest mining trucks

• The Liebherr T282B was produced in Switzerland and in 2008 held the championship among heavy trucks. Model this dump truck, with a carrying capacity of 360 tons with its weight of 230 tons, is intended for serial production. It has 2 engines, like the BelAZ-75710, and also has special amenities for the driver. With its large dimensions, the T282B can pick up speed up to 64.4 km/h.

• Terex 33-19 Titan was made in Canada in the only option. Back in 1978, he was the world's largest dump truck. With a weight of 235 tons, the unit had a load capacity of 315 tons. The engine was equipped with 16 cylinders and 4 engines, which is still impressive today. On this moment, one of the largest mining trucks has the status of a monument, which stands near Sparwood next to the highway. But I must say that he worked in coal deposits until the 90s.

• XCMG DE400 is China's largest mining dump truck, with impressive dimensions, namely: 10 m wide, 16 m long and 7.6 m high. The world learned about this machine in 2012. Accelerating to 50 km / h with such dimensions, this giant of Chinese thought held the lead until the release of BelAZ-75710.

• The Liebherr T284 has a nominal height of 8.3 m among the largest mining trucks in the world. The length and width are respectively 15.7 m and 8.9 m. Max weight of loaded vehicles is about 600 tons.

• Bucyrus MT6300AC is an American dump truck with a powerful unit of 3750 l / s, which went to consumers in 2008 under the name Terex Unit Rig MT 6300 AC. The name changed in 2010.

• Unit Rig MT 5500 - another one american model, called "quarry general". Its carrying capacity is 326 tons. This manufacturer produced a range of 9 models of heavy-duty diesel-electric dump trucks.

• The Caterpillar 797F holds the lead in terms of dimensions among all American dump trucks. The weight of equipment with cargo is 620 tons. The engine has 20 cylinders. In a competitive environment, the manufacturer presents 4 body options for this model. Transport companies they know the reliability of this manufacturer's equipment, because the rental of Caterpillar bulldozers is very popular.

• Komatsu 960E is a super-heavy Japanese mining machine. Able to transport cargo weighing 327 tons. Manufacturers took seriously the development of this special equipment, as well as its testing, which lasted 3 years in copper and coal deposits. Today it is produced in the US state of Illinois.

• BelAZ-75601 is another Belarusian giant, in the back of which 6 wagons of coal, i.e., 360 tons, can be transported. Its dimensions are comparable to a one-story private house. Total weight with cargo - 610 tons. On-board computer greatly facilitates the work of the driver.

Dump truck BelAZ-75601

In fact, the demand for mining trucks in the world is very small. These machines, once sent to the quarry, work there for decades without requiring replacement. In particular, because repairs are much cheaper - mining dump trucks are usually assembled by hand in very small batches.

In the past, there were other manufacturers, now liquidated, in particular, Euclid (1924-1968), Unit Rig (1935-1960), Bucyrus (1880-2011). Some companies did not disappear, but simply curtailed the production of mining trucks, for example, the Romanian DAC, the Austrian WABCO or the German Kress. Previously, small mining dump trucks were in the range of Mogilevsky car factory(MoAZ), now - a branch of BelAZ.

BelAZ (Zhodino, Belarus). The Belarusian Automobile Plant was founded in 1948 and is still one of the largest manufacturers in the world. mining equipment, as well as mining, metallurgical and other equipment. At first, mining dump trucks MAZ-525 were assembled in Zhodino, but in 1961 the first own model, a 27-ton BelAZ-540, appeared. There are 13 models in the range. BelAZ is the world record holder - the BelAZ-75710 (2013) model with a payload capacity of 450 tons is the largest truck in the world. Actually, he's in the picture.

Liebherr (Bieberach an der Ries, Germany). A German-Swiss company founded in 1949 by Hans Liebherr. It produces the widest range of products - all kinds of construction and port cranes, household appliances, machine tools, excavators, equipment for the aviation and railway sectors. There are 3 models in the line of mining dump trucks today. The picture shows the most heavy truck company, Liebherr T 284 (2012) with a load capacity of 363 tons.

Terex (Westport, USA). One of the largest technology companies in the world, producing almost any equipment for road construction, mining, oil, transportation, processing industries and utilities. Founded in 1933 by George Armington and has been expanding ever since, absorbing younger competitors. It was Terex who once made the world's largest mining trucks, but today the line is small, consisting of only 4 models, the largest of which is the 100-ton Terex TR100 (1998), in the picture.

Caterpillar (Peoria, USA). Another American giant, a manufacturer of all kinds of special equipment - tractors, excavators, road construction machines, loaders, logging equipment and so on. And also - surprisingly - well-known brand shoes, but this is rather a side business. The company was founded in 1925. Currently, there are 17 dump trucks in the range of mining trucks, the largest of which is the 363-ton Caterpillar 797F (2009).

Komatsu (Tokyo, Japan). Large Japanese conglomerate producing mining trucks various types(including trolleycars and autonomous drones), as well as various road construction equipment, forklifts, pipelayers, mining equipment, presses and other industrial equipment, military equipment and so on. The company was founded in 1921. The range includes 14 mining trucks, the largest of which is a 400-tonne Komatsu 980E-4 (2016), pictured.

Hitachi (Tokyo, Japan). A powerful Japanese corporation with dozens of divisions and producing everything from computers and household appliances to road construction machines and mining trucks, from ships and trains to medical supplies. In general, really, everything. Founded in 1910, it has been building heavy mining equipment since 1951. There are 5 mining trucks in the range, the largest is the 326-ton Hitachi EH5000AC-3 (2013).

Sanyi (Changsha, China). A Chinese company that produces all kinds of road construction, quarry, oil production equipment, as well as wind turbines and various energy devices. One of the youngest mining trucks on the market - founded in 1989. In the range - 3 not very large mining dump trucks. The largest is the 95-ton Sanyi SRT95C.

XCMG (Xuzhou, China). Another newly formed relative to others Chinese company, which produces almost any heavy equipment (we will not once again list “road construction, mining ...”). It was founded in 1989 and today it ranks 5th in terms of capital in its industry. The range of mining dump trucks includes 5 models, the largest of which is the XCMG XDE400 with a payload capacity of 400 tons (pictured). The funny thing is that it can be ordered not only through official dealer, but also on… the Alibaba online marketplace.

Beml (Bangalore, India). largest Indian company for the production of road and so on equipment and trucks. Founded in 1964. There are 6 models in the range of mining dump trucks, the largest of which is the 205-ton Beml BH205E, in the picture. It is the first truck of this type, completely developed and manufactured in India.

LiuGong (Guangxi, China). Chinese manufacturer cranes, excavators and the list goes on, founded in 1958 (that is, not from the "new Chinese"). So far, it has not really turned around in the mining dump truck market, only one 46-ton LiuGong SGR50 model.

Many, perhaps, will agree that commercial transport, or rather cargo, and in particular mining trucks, are a key "driving force" in the process of formation, development and operation of the mining and processing industries around the world. From them effective work, which is a direct dependence on their possible transported volume and mass, the “general picture” of their expediency and application is also formed.
So, to put it simply, in this article we wanted to talk about the largest mining dump truck in the world, which no one and nothing can replace in its business. Under the very big dump trucks(cars), we, first of all, mean the most lifting vehicles.

The largest dump truck (load-lifting) in the world

So this article will be about BelAZ 75710. The car began to be produced in 2013 at the Belarusian Automobile Plant, from where the abbreviation BelAZ comes from.

(BelAZ 75710 car in the production workshop of the enterprise)

In the same year of production of BelAZ 75710, the plant applied for inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records and for good reason. You will understand that this is a rather ambitious dump truck from our further description. So, since 2013, it has been the largest (load-lifting) mass-produced mining dump truck.

(BelAZ 75710 car on the road)

Thus, the BelAZ-75710 mining dump truck is capable of carrying up to 450 tons of cargo. For example, an ordinary cargo Railway carriage, for example, for the transportation of coal, transports about 50 tons. That is, BelAZ 75710 is capable of taking away about 9 wagons with coal at a time, which, perhaps, can be equated to a small shunting train at the station, which forms the main trains. It is worth noting that BelAZ transports cargo not on rails, but sometimes on complete off-road. At the same time, the speed can reach 64 km / h, but this is no longer in a loaded state.

(BelAZ 75710 at the exhibition of quarry and construction equipment)

The total mass of the BelAZ 75710 dump truck (loaded) is also impressive, as is its carrying capacity, as its total weight is 810 tons.
Of the features of the largest dump truck, it is worth noting the Siemens electromechanical transmission, which helps to operate the gear shift on the machine. It is also necessary to say about the engine, with a capacity of 4600 hp, that the car has 4 twin wheels, that is, in the end 8, all-wheel drive for each pair.

(View from the cab of BelAZ 75710. You can see how much higher the two-seat machine control cabin is located relative to the ground)

The machine has the following overall dimensions:

Height: 8.16 m
Width: 9.87 m
Length: 20.60 m

The fuel consumption of a car does not tend to be small, like itself. So, of course, everything will depend on the operating modes of the dump truck, but in quarry conditions, the predicted fuel consumption will be about a ton per 100 km of run.

The largest dump truck is equipped with radial tubeless, pneumatic Michelin tires. The dump truck has a ROPS safety system, which is designed to control and prevent a possible rollover of the machine. At the same time, the dump truck meets all international standards for emissions, noise, and the requirement for a workplace in the cab.
In general, we can say that the largest dump truck is the epitome of high technology, complex calculations, significant experience and great diligence of the workers of the Belarusian Automobile Plant. It is also impossible to ignore the fact that the plant is located in the neighboring country of Russia - Belarus and has a rich history dating back to the USSR. Also in Soviet time BelAZ was one of the main dump trucks used for mining in the USSR. It is pleasant to realize that even today, in the realities of the modern world market, the plant is able to produce competitive, demanded and unique products on the world market.

In the world there are several models of giant dump trucks used in heavy industry for quarrying. All of these supercars are unique in their class. Therefore, it is not surprising that every year a kind of competition is held between the producing countries: whose dump trucks are the most load-bearing, fast and enduring. A separate line indicates the question "in which country the largest dump truck in the world is produced." Technological progress can no longer be stopped. Car performance has reached fantastic heights. At the same time, production technologies continue to improve. Therefore, the largest dump truck in the world may appear unexpectedly, as it happened more than once. The parameters, characteristics and dimensions of new models are regularly calculated by competent specialists in research centers. The analytical work of engineering services has an international scope.

mining giants

The largest dump truck in the world, BelAZ-75710, career giant, unparalleled, was introduced to the test site on September 25, 2013. The machine is produced at the factories of OJSC "BelAZ", located in the city of Zhodino, not far from Minsk. Specifications dump trucks are impressive, it takes on board 450 tons of cargo, while its European and American counterparts lift only 380 tons. The giant weighs 810 tons, but at the same time it is able to reach speeds of up to 64 km / h. And although such speeds in career developments do not make sense, however, the very fact of such dynamics testifies to the unprecedented power of the car. new car was awarded the title of "The Biggest Dump Truck in the World 2013". Behind last year not a single one appeared in the world rankings career car, which could outstrip BelAZ-75710 in terms of its characteristics. Therefore, with every right, the Belarusian giant can bear the title of "The Biggest Dump Truck in the World in 2014". The release of the quarry giant has begun, the first machines are already working in the largest mines around the world.

In operating mode, the largest dump truck in the world usually moves through the mining area at a speed of 10-12 km / h. Maintenance of the machine consists in the periodic inspection of the power plant and chassis. Mechanics operate on the principle "it is easier to prevent a breakdown than to fix it later." Repair of a mining dump truck is possible only at specialized enterprises equipped with lifting mechanisms of type A from the quarry to the place of repair, the machine has to be delivered on several tractors. Technical centers for maintenance, manufacturers try to locate them in the zone of greatest accessibility to a quarry or a mine in which dump trucks operate. Otherwise, the issue of delivering the car to the place of repair and back can result in a large sum. Therefore, there are special intermediary firms that are engaged in optimizing the location service centers. In addition, practice shows that the owners of large industrial developments in the field of extraction of raw materials and minerals purchase mining equipment from the same manufacturer. This allows you to work for years according to a well-established scheme with the least losses. Maintenance of the material part is usually carried out by specialists of the manufacturer who come to the site according to a certain schedule.

Fuel consumption - 500 liters per hour. Is it a lot or a little?

The largest dump truck in the world has, accordingly, a heavy duty power plant, which consists of two diesel generators, producing a total thrust of 8500 liters. with., and supplies energy to four electric drives that ensure the rotation of the wheels. Electric motors drive the wheels of the dump truck when the body is fully loaded with maximum traction. A empty car moves in the mode of 50% power cut, for this one of the diesel generators is turned off. Consumption diesel fuel V full mode is about 500 liters per hour. As we can see, the largest dump truck consumes a huge amount of fuel. However, the cost of diesel fuel is nothing compared to the economic benefits, which are expressed in seven figures. And it is thanks to the mining giants dump trucks.

Camcorders and other useful devices

The equipment of the BelAZ-75710 mining dump truck includes complex, but efficient systems fire extinguishing and viewing "dead" zones around the car. To do this, eight permanently operating video cameras are installed along the perimeter of the machine, transmitting information to monitors in the driver's cab. The driver-operator and navigator are accommodated in a double spacious cabin. In addition to the video review, the dump truck is equipped special device warning of approaching high voltage lines. The cabin has air conditioning in summer and a heater in winter. The largest dump truck in the world BelAZ-75710 is a supercar designed to work in difficult conditions at temperatures ranging from minus 50 to plus 50 degrees. The resource of the machine allows you to operate it around the clock.

Chassis:

Inaccessible BelAZ-75710

The largest dump truck in the world, the photo of which is presented on the page, is still an orange giant that rolled off the assembly line in the Belarusian city of Zhodino. The engineering staff of OJSC "BelAZ" is currently preparing a number of improvements that will further strengthen the already high rating model 75710. Thus, the largest dump truck in the world, with a carrying capacity of more than 450 tons, becomes unattainable in the coming years for competing manufacturers.

The production of quarry equipment is associated with very high costs. Therefore, there are no new major manufacturers. But there are many contractors who are able to produce high-quality components and assemblies for machines operating in the mining industry. These are engine builders, super tire companies and other specialized enterprises available for cooperation. Career automotive technology is expensive, the price of a dump truck high class reaches five to six million dollars. However, the machine justifies the costs in the first two years, while bringing a significant profit.

They never stand idle, in most cases this technique works around the clock. The management of the mining section should only prepare in time driver's team, and BelAZ, Caterpiller and Komatsu will do the rest.
