In the transportation market, tractors and trucks receive a lot of attention. However, construction vehicles also play a crucial role in China's infrastructure construction, and mining dump trucks are a key part of them. In the past, foreign models such as Belarus, Ural from Russia, Tatra from Czech, and the domestic Shanghai SH380 in the 1970s were relatively common in mine pit operations. Nowadays, domestic mining dump trucks are widely used in various mining areas.
Tongli Special Vehicle Company, a subsidiary of Shaanxi Automobile, launched a 90 - ton - class off - road dump truck named Kuangwei during its product upgrade and transformation. This truck is suitable for short - to - medium - distance heavy - load transportation in mining areas. The vehicle is painted in Duke Yellow and is equipped with a common offset single - side mining cab. Its exterior design follows the principles of practicality and easy maintenance, with mostly straight and flat lines, without considering factors such as wind resistance.
In terms of safety configurations, the cab is equipped with auxiliary lighting, warning lights, and width - indicating lights on the upper part. Mirrors, wide - angle mirrors, left and right ground - viewing mirrors, and front ground - viewing mirrors are installed on both sides, helping the driver to understand the road conditions and ensuring driving safety. The headlights and fog lights are equipped with metal protective guards, and the water tank has a metal protective net. The thick high - position bumper is equipped with a tow hook, which not only enhances the vehicle's passability but also provides rescue support in case of vehicle entrapment. The boarding steps adopt soft connections and anti - slip treatment to ensure the safety of drivers getting on and off the vehicle.
The vehicle's air - filtering system is powerful. Thanks to the sufficient space on the right side of the offset single - side cab, a highly effective oil - bath air filter is installed, and a hydraulic oil radiator can be placed in front of it. The cargo box has a unique design. It has a streamlined shape that is lower in the front and higher in the rear. The side panels and the front panel of the cargo box are equipped with thick reinforcing ribs, and a fastening beam is added at the rear. The connection between the side panel and the bottom plate uses a transition link, which not only strengthens the connection but also reduces sand and stone residue. Additionally, a floor - heating function is available as an option, which is convenient for unloading in winter. The hydraulic system uses the Depu Kaler 196 multi - stage lifting system, which is safe and reliable for lifting operations. With these designs, the 90 - ton - class Kuangwei dump truck of Shaanxi Automobile has become a powerful choice for short - distance transportation in domestic mining areas.
