MKSM-800 loaders: specifications and reviews

The speed of development of the machine-building industry is amazing. Now anyone can get the most convenient technology for him, without spending a lot of money on huge machines. Especially popular are mini-loaders of the MKSM-800 type, the technical characteristics of which are able to satisfy any road company.

Production

Kurgan Machine Building Plant developed and produced a completely new machine that turned the notion of construction machinery. This enterprise is one of the largest modern manufacturers in Russia. They produce both civilian equipment and work on the development of some defense complexes.

Mini loader MKSM-800 is popular both among domestic and foreign consumers, all thanks to its compactness, high level of economy, and multifunctionality. It is worth noting that this special equipment is very simple to operate and maintain.

Scope of use

MKSM-800, whose technical characteristics are suitable for almost any task, is used in a wide variety of industries, in construction, municipal and agricultural. The use of such a vehicle allows a fairly wide range of services related to land management, loading or unloading. If there is a need to work in a rather limited space, then the choice is definitely for MKSM-800. Technical specifications of the loader allow without superfluous problems to carry out the put task even in the closed premises.

Control

To drive the hydraulic equipment of the machine, special joysticks installed in the interior of the cab are used. Control elements can be connected by means of an electronic controller or by a cable drive. This parameter depends on the modification of the model and the preferences of the buyer.

The system has a common unit - it's a controller. Thanks to it the loader has the maximal maneuverability, thus the driver does not need to apply much effort at work with joystick. In the regulations, which comes complete with the MKSM-800, the technical specifications provide for the type of vehicle control.

Cabin

On the MKCM-800 installed cab, made of an all-metal profile with glued in addition to glass, as well as individual windows. This type of construction meets all modern safety requirements.

If we consider the cabin separately, it is already a preassembled unit, in which all the necessary controls are installed, as well as the climate system and the display elements.

The frame is able to protect the worker from falling materials, and also to save his life in case of overturning. On the MKCM-800 spare parts of the cab use a separate demand, since it is subject to various kinds of loads and sometimes it can not withstand another blow.

Interior is made using modern materials to protect from noise and dust. Inside, molded plastic panels are used, created in accordance with the design, meeting the ergonomic requirements and life support parameters of a person who works on such a technique.

Maintenance

Thanks to the simplicity of opening the hood, as well as lifting the cab, the masters have excellent access to almost all necessary components and assemblies. This allows for a fairly quick replacement of the defective element and conduct work related to the maintenance of the MKSM-800. Spare parts are installed just as simply as they are dismantled. Thanks to this capability, the loader has won respect and respect among road and construction companies.

Engine

On the MKSM-800 loader, depending on its model and modification, a diesel power unit of American manufacture Cummins or German Hatz can be installed. They differ between each other in terms of power, as well as the cooling method. The American power - 51 horsepower, and the German - 52.9. It is worth noting that the first cooling is due to the use of a liquid system, and in the second - air.

Dimensions

All the main sizes and weights of most of the modifications of the MKSM-800 do not differ from each other. The only exception is the model with the index "A". The last car has a wider track width (equal to 145 cm), while the others have a size of 141 cm. Other dimensions also differ. The length of the MKSM-800 A is 264.5 cm, instead of 248.0, as for the others, the width is 172 cm compared to 168 cm. The height differs insignificantly, the version "A" is a centimeter lower - 205.5 cm against 206.5 As a result of the increase in overall dimensions, the weight of the machine also increased. The "A" package has a mass of 3.1 tons, and the standard one has 2.8 tons. The version "A" of the MKSM-800 loader may differ, as other dimensions provide for slightly different placement of the vital organs of the machine.

Equipment

Depending on the field of application of the machine, the MKSM-800 can be installed a variety of attachments. All the additional organs are created in two types: a quick-action boom working in conjunction with the commercially available modules, as well as a separate device for the installation of additional devices, which allows working with mounted modules from imported machines. This capability makes the MKSM-800 more versatile. There is no need for a separate working device to buy expensive imported equipment.

Attention should be paid to the additional set of caterpillars, which comes with the MKSM-800. They are installed on pneumatic wheels in order to significantly increase traction and coupling parameters when driving on a ground with a very weak bearing capacity. Caterpillars significantly increase the permeability of the machine, all because of the decrease in the specific pressure on the soil, and the presence of special grousers improves the coupling characteristics.

Installation is carried out directly on the bus. To avoid touching the tracks and the side of the loader, the track gauge parameter increases. This is possible by installing additional consoles placed on the hubs.

The width of the tracks is no more than 340 mm, while the specific pressure on the soil is only 0.5 kg per square centimeter. The weight of the additional module can vary, but not more than 117 kg.

Cost

Despite the popularity of MKSM-800, its price is not so democratic and can vary, depending on the type of power unit. The version with the CUMMINS engine will cost about 1,419,000 rubles, while the variant with the Hatz power plant is slightly more expensive than 1,597,000 rubles. But a half million for MKSM-800 - the price is not final. Depending on the type and type of work, the appropriate working equipment is selected, for which it is also necessary to pay separately. For example, a conventional bucket with a volume of 0.46 cubic meters. Will cost 25 thousand. More complex modules are suitable: 360 thousand for a bucket excavator and 230 thousand for a hydraulic hammer.
