Today, not a single mining enterprise can do without the use of heavy and productive special equipment, namely mining dump trucks. The Swedish company Volvo does not stand in one place and is gradually developing more and more new truck models that are great 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 quarry areas (that is, where highway trucks will not pass).
One of these dump trucks is the Volvo A35F. It was first mass-produced in 1996, after which this special equipment has gone through many improvements and improvements. At the moment, the Volvo A35F mining dump truck is an example for many articulated trucks, and today we will look at what features this Swedish car is fraught with.
Differences from conventional cars
Articulated haul truckbrand "Volvo-A35F" is distinguished by its high cross-country ability. This is a real all-terrain vehicle, because it can even overcome marshy and rocky terrain. In such conditions, even a four-wheel drive SUV runs the risk of getting stuck, and the Volvo, thanks to the articulation, easily passes through the most inaccessible places.
What is an articulation?
And now more about this. This feature of the Volvo-A35F truck implies the complete absence of a rigid frame (as it is on highway cars). Instead, the entire structure of the machine is connected by a hinge. In this case, the body does not depend on the cab and can be rotated separately. And this, in turn, has a positive effect on the patency, which was described a little higher.
Specifications
The large Volvo A35F mining dump truck is equipped with a special system that automatically distributes the necessary 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 tire wear while reducing average fuel consumption.
As for the engine, the Volvo A35F mining truck is equipped with one turbodiesel engine with a capacity of 469 horsepower. Thanks to such a powerful unit, the car is able to carry loads weighing more than 33 tons, while its curb weight is 30 tons. In addition to excellent performance and load capacity, mining dump trucks (photo of the A35F modelyou can see below) have a good volume of the cargo compartment - 20.5 cubic meters.
Where can this special equipment be used?
The area of operation of Volvo-A35F mining dump trucks is quite wide. They can efficiently transport bulk materials not only in quarries, but also at construction sites, quickly transport goods during logging, and even operate at oil refineries. Therefore, the Volvo-A35F mining dump truck meets all modern requirements for reliability and comfort.
