Trucker Pride
What are tractors, for what purposes they are used, road professionals know perfectly well. On Russian roads there are various models of tractors, mostly "killed", the same as our roads. Many truckers have seen on European or, perhaps, on American roads, bright, powerful, stainless steel, polished to perfect cleanliness, tractors of different capacities. Such cars are the pride of any trucker.
The purpose of the tractor is to carry super-heavy and extra-long loads to hard-to-reach places, hilly and mountainous areas, for example, on passes up to 3500 meters high or in the Arctic.
The financial crisis stopped buyers of tractors - this is not a cheap pleasure. But despite this, the Swedish Volvo company in 2011 on international exhibition exhibited in Moscow New Product machine-building idea called Volvo FH 16750, which is currently the most powerful tractor in the world. The Swedes created this model for the 25th anniversary of 16 liter engines D16.
Volvo FH 16750 is a four-axle tractor (wheel formula type 8x4) with a power of 700 -750 hp. and carrying capacity up to 250 tons. The tractor torque is 3550 Nm, and on idling it does not fall below 2800 Nm. To improve handling on the road rear wheels have the properties to turn in the same way as the front ones.
Out of competition
Thanks to the built-in rear view cameras, a convenient control panel in the cabin, the driver feels comfortable and safe in the most long trips. With the engine upgrade, the noise level has been reduced by 2 Db compared to previous version. The oil change interval is 100 thousand km or once a year. Despite the power of the tractor, fuel consumption remains within the acceptable range.
Currently, Volvo has no competitors in the production of such cars. So there will always be buyers for such unique innovations in the automotive industry. By the way, the first happy owner of a Volvo FH 16750 was the Norwegian Tore Orse, the owner of a Norwegian car company. The very first powerful tractor in the world will be used to transport equipment for the oil refining industry in the western part of Norway.
Writing reviews about the very best cars is usually a job for the auto press. But what about trucks? They carry loads, we are used to them - it would seem that what could be interesting in them? But among these iron workers, legendary "personalities" also come across. Someone has outstanding strength, someone is incredibly fast, and someone has the ability to shock and entertain.
desert hero
Avid fans of the Dakar rally-raid often sigh, they say, the legendary marathon is no longer the same. Not only because he traded Africa for South America. Take at least the most spectacular class of trucks, which today is squeezed into the vise of limits. Maximum speed, engine size, weight, suspension travel, layout - everything is limited. But there was a time when the same freedom reigned in the cargo Dakar classification, as in light group prototypes in the 80s and 90s…
It was in this era of freedom, 31 years ago, that one of the most famous and unusual trucks of this marathon, the twin-engine Dutch DAF Twincab, the first of the racing family, which will go down in history under common name Turbo Twin. Each motor turned its axis, and the total output of the engines reached 800 Horse power, accelerating the car to 160 km / h. But most of all, this truck was remembered for the fact that it had two cabs - the second was screwed on for advertising and attracting attention.
The era of DAF Turbo Twin rally racing twin-engined trucks turned out to be bright but short: it all started in 1984 and ended in 1988. And in 1998 Russian team KamAZ-Master exhibited a racing KamAZ-49255 with a 12-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 1050 hp at the Dakar. But the heavy-duty motor simply “broke” the transmission, the car retired from the race, and the team for a long time stopped experimenting with super-powerful engines.
By the "Dakar" in 1985, the racing twin-engine lost one cabin, received the nickname Bull ("Bull"), felt better immediately by 2 tons and received two diesel engines with a total return of 870 hp. But the truck did not reach the finish line again due to a breakdown. In 1986, the Dutch take to the start of the marathon DAF 3600 Turbo Twin, the power of which reached 1,000 hp, and a maximum speed of 200 km / h. It seemed that now the twin-engine monster would definitely win, but put an end to the hopes of the Dutch breaking front axle . The first Dakar triumph came only in 1987, when Jan de Rooy won the Dakar truck classification in a lightweight Turbo Twin II. Moreover, de Rooy "tumbled" along the track in such a way that he took 11th place in the overall standings of the marathon, and Karel Loprais, who finished second on Tatra, lost to Jan for more than 14 hours!
The apotheosis of the development of twin-engine DAF was the new Turbo Twin X1 with six turbines, the total output of two 11.6-liter engines of 1200 hp. (4700 Nm) and a top speed of 240 km/h! When in 1988 this monster went to the start of the African marathon, no one at first even doubted that the Dutch would win the race dry. Motorsport connoisseurs still remember the footage of how the Turbo Twin X1 weighing 11 tons at a speed of 200 easily bypasses the prototype Peugeot 405 Turbo of the leader of the passenger classification Ari Vatanen in the desert ...
However, "Dakar-88" ended tragically for the DAF team. On January 9, at one of the special stages, last year's 1000-horsepower Turbo Twin X2 turned over at a speed of about 170 km / h due to a series of tosses on shallow dunes, making six complete revolutions around its axis. The pilot and mechanic miraculously survived. But the navigator Kees van Levesijin was thrown through Windshield and he died on the spot. After that, there was no time for victories: the team removed Jan de Rooy from the race, and DAF completely left motorsport for 10 years. And in 1990, the rules of the race banned such monstrous trucks.
jet truck
The idea of crossing a car with a jet plane has been exciting inquisitive human minds for more than a dozen years, periodically giving rise to incredible designs. So, exactly 30 years ago, American racing driver Les Shockley created perhaps one of the most famous and crazy trucks of our time. Like a true American, Shockley acted on a grand scale and counted on the "wow effect", not sparing about half a million dollars for this. He took an ordinary Peterbuilt 379 truck tractor - and attached to it not one, but three at once jet engine Pratt & Whitney, folding them into a pyramid and pointing slightly into the sky, so that they (together with a huge wing) pressed the truck to the ground, preventing it from taking off.
And there is something to take off - three turbojet engine give out a total of power equivalent to 36,000 horsepower! True, the return of jet engines is estimated by another indicator: thrust. With her too full order, three engines together "pull" with a force of 8.6 tons. As a result, when this rocket launches from a standstill in the afterburner mode, the pilot (well, don’t call him a driver!) experiences overloads of 6 Gs, and the aircraft-truck spends only about 11 seconds.
During one of his performances, Shockwave easily devours up to 700 liters of kerosene - they go not only for the race itself, but also for exemplary spewing of fire and smoke.
Along the way, Shockwave is considered the holder of the world speed record for full-size jet trucks - with a result of 605 km / h! He also distinguished himself by a world record at a distance of a quarter mile, flying it in 6.36 seconds with a maximum speed of 409 km / h. And how, you ask, to slow down from such speeds? Except disc brakes on all wheels, two military aviation parachutes are also used: when they open on braking, the pilot experiences negative overloads as much as 9 G!
For many years, "Shock Wave" (as the name Shockwave is translated) performed in America at an air show, chasing a race with airplanes. But the old man is not going to give up: in 2012, racers Neil and Chris Darnell bought him out, modernized the filling, updated his appearance - and now legendary truck returns on a new tour celebrating his own 30th birthday. If you are nearby - come in, see how the trucks fly.
career monster
BelAZ-75710
The new heavy truck from the Belarusian Zhodino, presented in 2013, has every reason to claim the title of the most dump truck on the planet. His main opponents are American Caterpillar 797F and the German Liebherr T 284 are also, to put it mildly, rather big. But the Belarusian heavyweight against their background is just Godzilla! The dump truck, under which you can park cars, is striking in size - it is just right to compare it with buildings. Yes, at overall length at 20.6 m, a width of 9.7 m and a height of 8.1 m, BelAZ-75710 surpasses other cottage houses in its dimensions. And the driver-operator must go to his workplace through two flights of stairs with an intermediate platform in the center.
The curb weight of the giant is 360 tons, but main parameter- this is a load capacity that reaches a record in this class of 450 metric tons, while Caterpillar and Liebherr claim "only" 363 metric tons! But why, one wonders, such indicators of carrying capacity? The higher it is, the lower the cost of transportation, when one super dump truck can replace several smaller ones.
But for the Belarusians this was not enough. Therefore, at the beginning of this year, BelAZ-75710 took part in a record race, for which a 503-ton ballast was loaded into an immense body, with which the total weight reached an astronomical value for a single truck of 863 tons - so much would a string of about 8 loaded to the eyeballs weigh railway wagons! This result was included in the books of records of the CIS and Europe, and will also qualify for inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records.
To increase the carrying capacity, dual tires are on the all-wheel drive BelAZ-75710 (right) not only at the rear, but also at the front. Each gigantic tire, weighing 5 tons, can withstand a load of at least 100 tons. And to increase maneuverability, both bridges are made swivel.
To move such colossal masses, one engine is not enough. Therefore, the record dump truck has six of them at once! BelAZ-75710 is built according to the diesel-electrical scheme common for such monsters: the diesel turns the generator, and it supplies voltage to the traction electric motors-reducers built into each wheel of the drive axle. But the uniqueness of the record BelAZ is that it is also all-wheel drive (also for the first time in this class), and there are already four traction motors, 600 kW (810 hp) each! To power these electric motors, two 1700-kilowatt Siemens generators are installed in the engine room (you can’t call this room otherwise), each of which is driven by a 16-cylinder MTU DD 16V4000 turbodiesel with a working volume of 65 liters. Each such diesel engine produces 2300 hp. and 9313 Nm of thrust, and for an hour of operation under peak load it can burn 339 kg of fuel, so it’s not in vain that two fuel tanks with a total volume of 5600 liters are installed on the superdump truck.
The total power of two diesel engines and four traction electric motors is almost 7,900 horses, accelerating a loaded dump truck up to 64 km/h! So, as in a joke about a poorly seeing rhinoceros, it’s better not to stand in the way of this riding mountain, although the driver sits high and has at his disposal all-round video surveillance systems and warnings about approaching high-voltage power lines. As for the price, BelAZ-75710 will cost the customer about one million euros. And the first superdump truck has already gone on a work shift to the Chernigovets coal mine in the Kemerovo region. By the way, such large dump trucks are transported disassembled to the place of work, because no ordinary road can withstand such a giant, on which it simply cannot fit!
Record of legal
If BelAZ can only be seen in a quarry or in a picture, then this truck with a trailer may well stop with you at the same traffic light. It looks like an ordinary Volvo of the top FH series, current generation which has been produced since 2012. So you can’t immediately say that you are standing next to the world’s most powerful serial main tractor who is allowed to drive ordinary roads. But if you look closely, proud numbers of power and engine volume, flaunting on the sidewalls and forehead of the cab, give it out with your head. "Arms race" among European road trucks in last years has gained momentum again, and Volvo is still in the lead in it. The weapon of victory is the most powerful in-line 6-cylinder turbodiesel D16K in the range of this model with direct fuel injection through pump injectors.
The Swedes removed 750 horsepower from a working volume of 16 liters, and today neither European (the closest rival is the Swedish 730-horsepower Scania R730) nor American competitors offer more than this power. But the main thing in this diesel engine is not even power, but a crazy torque of 3550 Nm. For civilian trucks - a prohibitive value!
heavy duty Volvo tractor The FH16 750 can also be officially bought in Russia, only the prices are in line with its power. So, a two-axle tractor assembled in Sweden costs from 163,000 euros, for a 6x4 truck they will ask from 190,000 euros, and for a four-axle one you have to pay at least 200,000 euros.
It is clear that with so much dope under the cab, even reinforced cardans and steel "offal" of an automated 12-speed gearbox can be torn I-Shift that is offered for this motor. Therefore, automation constantly monitors the load on the machine and restrains the pressure of horses on low gears and low speeds, releasing the entire herd into the wild only on highway modes and on long climbs, where this power is especially needed.
But the question still arises: why such capacities and what to carry with them? After all, the permitted total mass of a freight road train in Russia is 38 tons, in Europe - 40 tons. Harnessing 750 expensive horses to such a ridiculous weight is like delivering mail on a Batmobile: spectacular, but too wasteful. Although, of course, some transport companies and wealthy private drivers can afford to shush buying such a tractor in maximum configuration for reasons of prestige. Like, look at what cool tracks we work on!
However, the true purpose of strong men like the Volvo FH16 750 is not to strut, but to carry something really heavy, for which they pay well. At least - to work as a timber carrier or to carry the so-called "Scandinavian" 25-meter road trains with a gross weight of 60 tons. Maximum - transportation of all kinds of oversized items such as yachts, bridge parts, heavy construction equipment or industrial equipment. And for this, the car has the strength: Volvo claims that the FH16 750 is capable of dragging a road train with a total weight of up to 250 tons. By the way, several of these 750-horsepower Volvo tractors are already working in Russia.
Pull-pull
Nicolas Tractomas TR 10x10 D100
But you will definitely not meet such a super tractor of the French company Nicolas on the Moscow-Peter highway. This five-axle all-wheel drive (!) truck was even entered into the Guinness Book of Records in 2005 as the world's largest "civilian" tractor! And the first four of these monsters at a price of 800,000 euros each were ordered by the South African transport company Rotran back in the mid-2000s to carry heavy equipment for local thermal and nuclear power plants across the savannas. This is when, for example, the electric transformer alone weighs under 270 tons, not counting the weight of the multi-axle trailer and the tractor itself ...
The French company Nicolas has been producing trucks of the Tractomas series since 1979, and the company itself began in the middle of the 19th century with the production of carts. In addition to the five-axle record holder, the manufacturer's range also includes a more modest model with an 8x8 wheel arrangement and a 900-horsepower diesel engine, which can pull a road train weighing "only" 500 tons.
But Tractomas turned out to be not one of the squishy ones either. Swedish Volvo The FH16 750, of course, is also not a small car, but against the background of its French counterpart, even it looks like a baby against the background of a thug! Because the length of the five-axle Tractomas is 12.6 m, its width is only slightly short of 3.5 m, and it reaches a height of 4.5 m. Behind the cab is a 27-liter turbodiesel V12 Caterpillar, developing 912 hp and 3460 Nm of torque. The gearbox is a Dana Clark Spicer eight-speed automatic.
The power, as you can see, is there. But in order to move a heavy road train, the tractor must have a good grip, and not slip helplessly, standing still. Therefore, to increase the so-called " grip weight", Tractomas TR 10x10 was loaded with crushed stone ballast, with which its curb weight jumped to 70 tons. But after that, the French strongman could drag a 600-ton road train alone along the road. True, such weights alone, especially for long distances and with climbs, usually And in order not to tear the equipment, Tractomas harnessed to a long (more than a hundred meters!) road train by a train, one after another.But the train itself turned out to be even heavier: its gross weight reached about 700 tons!
Trucks are one of the most beneficial species transport. Due to their spaciousness, they are used to transport goods and perform other tasks. All trucks are different. large sizes, however, in this article we will talk about real giants - the ten most impressive trucks in their size, we will also answer the question: “Which is the most big truck in the world?".
First place - BelAZ-75710
A real monster, BelAZ-75710, is capable of lifting 450 tons of cargo on board. The first machine of this series entered the market in September 2013. Already at the beginning of next year, the truck entered the Guinness Book of Records after it managed to transport more than 500 tons of cargo through a special site.
BelAZ-75710 - the longest truck in the world (over 20 meters) and the most voluminous dumper. The weight of its tire alone exceeds five tons (the dump truck has eight wheels in total)!
Among other things, the car is equipped with all modern technology, including a blind spot monitoring system, an air conditioning system, a special alarm system that warns the driver about the proximity of high-voltage transmission lines, fire-fighting devices and tools.
The dump truck is used for work in the most difficult conditions V temperature range from -50 degrees to +50 degrees Celsius.
