PUM-500 loader: specifications, instructions

Special automotive technology is a reliable and faithful assistant to man in solving many domestic and production issues. With its help it is possible to carry out transportation of cargoes, to process agricultural fields, to take part in public works. This article will consider the loader PUM-500, the technical characteristics of which will also be indicated.

general information

This car in the people's environment was funny enough, but with the simple nickname "Beaver". Universal transport is designed and manufactured to increase the degree of mechanization of loading and unloading operations with materials having fine-lumpy forms of I-IV category, and with loose masses.

PUM-500 (its technical characteristics are optimal taking into account its dimensions) is produced by a Russian company called Uralvagonzavod. At the same time this model makes about 90% of all forklifts produced by the plant.

Applications

The PUM-500 loader is most often used:

• In logistics operations. This vehicle performs work on loading / unloading of piece items, as well as their transportation through the production site or warehouse territory.
• When constructing residential and industrial facilities. PUM-500, the technical characteristics of which allow it to perform its functions for a long period of time, is optimal for carrying out work on loading / unloading various soils (light clay, loam, sand).
• For the needs of the population. Compact dimensions of the loader allow it to cope with the tasks in a small space. Also with the help of "Beaver" you can do excavation work.
• In a communal environment. The machine is very effective for thorough cleaning of park areas, roads, sidewalks from snow and mud in city conditions. In addition, the forklift gives an excellent opportunity to plan the terrain. Having low pressure on the ground and small own dimensions, "Bobr" does not cause any serious damage to roads and the upper layers of the soil.

Environmental conditions

PUM-500 can be used in standard and in rather cramped conditions. It is allowed to use the machine in a temperate climate zone. The loader operates without problems in the temperature range from -30 to +40 degrees Celsius. The operator in the vehicle is provided with very comfortable conditions due to the thoughtful design features of the cabin, equipped according to all the rules of ergonomics and biomechanics.

Attachments

The study of the auxiliary units of the loader is, of course, also a very important technical characteristic. The PUM-500 rotary rotary plow is designed for thorough cleaning of streets, sidewalks and other areas from snow.

In addition, if necessary and depending on the situation with the machine, such units can be quickly and reliably interfaced:

• Bucket without teeth. It is used for loading sand, soil and other bulk materials.
• Bucket with teeth. Uses for the same operations as his "toothless" analog, but also for working with rock and frozen ground.
• Brush for road. It is easy to guess that with its help sweep streets.
• Mounted forks. With their help they serve pallets and boxes.
• Fork locking. Used in the communal sphere for the shipment of trees, branches, bushes, pipes.
• Hydraulic drill. It is used to drill wells up to one meter deep.
• Hinged hook. With its help, there is an excellent opportunity to move loads weighing up to 500 kg.
• Concrete mixer. It allows you to quickly get 65 liters of ready-mixed concrete.
• Installation pumping. Has a capacity of up to 100 cubic meters per hour and is used during the repair work of water pipes.
• Compressor. By connecting to it, you can use a pneumatic tool.
• Welding machine.
• Biaxial flatbed trailer. Its load capacity is 750 kg, and the volume is one cubic meter.

Attachments are connected using special quick-release couplings to the high-pressure hydraulic lines of the machine.

Model with a German engine

PUM-500 (specifications, reviews are given in this article) since 2005 is produced with a motor HATZ 2M41. This power unit has the following advantages:

• Air cooling with an axial fan is available.
• Lubrication is carried out under pressure in a closed loop.
• Hydraulic pumps have an auxiliary drive from the engine crankshaft.
• At startup, the occurrence of smoke is reduced.
• Comes with a dry air filter.

To this car in the designation is added the index "U", that is, the loader PUM-500U. In addition, the named engine is the world's first diesel engine with built-in automatic protection.

Positive traits

What is good about PUM-500? Its technical characteristics allowed to provide such advantages:

• A short payback period and an optimal ratio of quality and price.
• Excellent choice of used attachments.
• Compact size and small turning radius.
• Efficiency and profitability.
• High degree of noise insulation, comfortable and safe cabin.
• Optimal ergonomics for the driver.
• The presence of a full drive and a sufficiently large ground clearance.
• Smooth running while riding and running auxiliary equipment.
• The center of gravity is located low, and therefore the machine is very stable.
• Low maintenance costs and easy maintenance.
• Wide range of spare parts and components.

Subtleties of work

How to use the PUM-500 loader correctly? The instruction for its operation states that the machine must be operated by an experienced driver. It is not allowed to overheat the motor and use unadapted attachments. Cleanliness of oil in hydraulic systems of the loader must correspond to the specified class in the technical passport. It is required to regularly check the level of lubricating and cooling liquids, fuel. In addition, special attention should be paid to electrical wiring and batteries. It is important that the insulation of the cables is reliable, the batteries have a full charge.

User opinion

How much is PUM-500 in demand? Responses of owners are unambiguous in the answer to this question - the machine is very popular with consumers, which is also evidenced by high levels of its sales. In particular, very often you can hear from the owners of the loader that it has a very good, in their opinion, an engine that consumes little fuel. In addition, the vehicle is easily put on the cold winter days. The unit is unpretentious for the quality of diesel fuel. And most importantly, PUM-500 is almost twice cheaper than its competitors at the same price for spare parts. Also important is the fact that in the event of a breakdown, in most cases the car can be repaired on its own without resorting to expensive specialist services.

As for the direct management of the loader, in order to still ride it without problems, it takes certain skills and experience from the driver.
