Commercial freight transport (including mining trucks) is not the last in production. It plays a major role in the process of delivery of goods of various origins. All work and the further development of mining and processing plants and enterprises depend on its effectiveness. Many people know about the size and power of Belarusian mining trucks, namely BelAZs. But recently, the plant decided to set a record by creating the largest car in the world called BelAZ-75710. Serial production of this truck started in this (2013th) year and today we will consider what it really is, the new 75710th dump truck.
Specifications
According to passport data, the world's largest BelAZ-75710 is capable of transporting bulk materials weighing up to 450 tons. To date, no modern dump truck can boast of such an indicator of carrying capacity. Therefore, while developing, Belarusians filed an application in the Guinness Book of Records, describing the new BELAZ as the largest car. You can see a photo of this colossus below.
In continuation of the technical characteristics: the dump truck with its total weight of 810 tons (empty it weighs about 360 tons) is equipped with a huge diesel engine, the power of which is 4 thousand 600 horsepower. This is more than 10 times the power of modern KAMAZ. Thus, the novelty is capable of transporting about ten wagons of coal at a time, and 4 large twin wheels allow the machine to move not on rails, but on a normal dirt track. For each pair of wheels (there are 8 in total), a drive is installed, while the maximum speed of the car is about 64 kilometers per hour. As for the transmission, it was developed jointly by Belarusian developers and Siemens. As a result, the dump truck is equipped with an 8-speed electromechanical gearbox.
In addition to all this, the world's largest BelAZ-75710 car has a number of other features, including the new tubeless type Michelin pneumatic tires. Among the new electronic assistants, one cannot but mention the ROPS system, which allows the truck to move without any rollovers during cargo transportation. The noise level and the rate of environmental emissions are now fully consistent with modern European requirements, which allows the use of the world's largest BelAZ-75710 car not only in Belarus, but also in all countries of the world.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I would like to note that the development of a new BelAZ-75710 commercial vehicle was a new step in the development of the Belarusian industry, and now it is possible that this model will become the world standard for mining dump trucks. This level was achieved due to the implementation of high technology in the development, complex calculations and tests.
Now we can say for sure that the world's largest BelAZ-75710 car in the next 10 years will not have competitors at all.
