Russian manufacturer TONAR from Moscow region, Likino-Dulevo is known primarily for towed equipment, shown may 18, its clients and representatives of specialized media, the newest 60-ton mining truck series 7501.
Due to the exclusivity of such equipment for the Russian manufacturers TONAR is not the first year puts the national records on capacity. For example, earlier cabover karierni TONAR-45251 (a clone of one of the Chinese models, but with a domestic engine, frame, suspension and body) was carrying 40 tons, last year's kapatnik also under the symbol "45251" was a 40-ton lifting capacity, but on the new load capacity increased up to 1.5 times – up to 60 tons.
Very impressive machine with dimensions 10,4x3,63х3,81 m (only front overhang beyond the front axle by more than two meters) was presented in two versions with a body to transport coal and ore. The coal option now holds 48 cubic meters (the 40-ton crane – 35 cubes), and to carry rock – 27 cubic meters (22.5 cubic meter).
Total weight TONAR-7501 is 27.5 tons and is when capacity is 60 tons! 40-ton crane "45251", empty weight is 24.2 tons, which tells about a much better ratio of containers from 60-ton machine. For such a heavy car had to use in addition to more lifting a 35-ton (instead of 25-ton) axles production of the Chinese firms also Hande Axle and 17.5-ton steering axle (instead of the 13-ton).
But other components and assemblies like body, frame and suspension (front pneumonectomy, rear–, four vertical rubber elastic elements and the longitudinal rods with rubber mount) was developed by the manufacturer. This suspension is much tougher than traditional hinge-beam and pneumatic easier, too sensitive to frost.
The canopy scheme is preferred in terms of freedom of different powertrains (in the presented cars were inline 6-cylinder Cummins QSX 15 diesel engines with a volume of 15 l and 7-speed automatic gearbox Allison 4700 with integrated retarder, which greatly saves working brakes during long descents).
the Cabin is now completely developed by the Toner and became a 2 seater. The quality of workmanship is quite decent for such equipment. On the panel stands out with solid control lever retarder, space is provided for mounting the smartphone, which can also be a monitor of fleet management. Underneath the control unit automatic gearbox, but still below the red fuse controls the locks and inter-axle differentials mikolash.
The first instance uglevodnogo TONAR-7501 have already been sold and will operate in the Kemerovo coal mine, where previously found the use of 40-ton canopy trucks TONAR-45251.
