Domestic equipment produced by the Kama Automobile Plant is used in almost any industry, including the timber industry. The designers involved in the development of KamAZ timber trucks took into account the difficult operating conditions, making a real all-terrain vehicle out of a truck.

Timber truck features

Thanks to the improved cross-country chassis, the cargo vehicle is able to move both on public roads and over rough terrain, get to hard-to-reach places for further loading and transporting timber. The cabins of KamAZ timber carriers have a reinforced structure that provides maximum safety for both the driver and the freight forwarder. The task of the latter is to escort the cargo to its destination.

Buyers who have opted for KamAZ timber carriers have the opportunity to equip it with a manipulator of foreign or Russian production. Hydraulic manipulators can be mounted on the chassis both at the rear and at the front (immediately behind the cab), which allows you to get the necessary opportunities forspecific area, cargo. For example, the rear arrangement of the mechanism allows loading and unloading the assortment not only into the back of a truck, but also into a trailer. If the manipulator is located in front, the weight distribution of the KamAZ timber carrier is significantly improved.

We bring to your attention a quick inspection of models 4310 and 43118, which will give you an idea of the technical characteristics of domestic timber trucks produced at the Kama Automobile Plant.

KAMAZ-4310

This model is equipped with an old type cab, as well as a 6x6 chassis. The wheels are much larger than those of road trucks, which allows you to perfectly overcome any off-road terrain. The main specifications are as follows:

• Engine - 740.10.210;
• Power - 210 hp c;
• Chassis - KAMAZ-4310;
• Drive - full;
• Capacity - 7.5 t.

It is possible to install hydraulic manipulators of domestic and foreign production on this model of KamAZ timber carrier, for example:

• SF-75S. The mechanism is assembled in Russia, but the main components and assemblies are imported (Finland, Sweden, etc.). The boom is elongated, the maximum reach has a mark of 8.7 m, the load capacity is 2.85 tons, with a full reach - 0.85 tons.
• SF-65S. Produced in Russia. Arrow - standard, reach limit - 7 m, load capacity - 2 tons, at full reach - 0.9 tons.

KAMAZ-43118

Modernized version of the KamAZ-43118 timber carrieroffers a redesigned high-roof luxury cab. The model can be sold with or without a bed. Factory-installed engines are much more powerful. The hydraulic manipulator is capable of independently loading and unloading wood of various diameters, with a maximum length of up to 6 m. The most popular manipulators that the truck is equipped with:

Updated appearance with recognizable features

As you can see in the photo, the KamAZ timber carrier (modernized) received nonot only excellent technical characteristics, but also modern design. Working on domestic equipment has become not only as comfortable as possible, but also pleasant.
