Russian commercial and servicing company CHETRA-Industrial Machines, specialist in sales and servicing of equipment belonging to member companies of Traktornye Zavody, has introduced to the market a new pipe layer: CHETRA H-511.
This pipe layer retains the best characteristics of previous models. Moreover,
this model became a "testing field" for those willing to try unique design solutions, thus providing for improved maneuverability and enhanced load-carrying capacity. At the same time, designers successfully reduced the weight of the new machine to 46 tons, which makes it possible to transport it on modern 50-ton trailer trucks.
To reduce job stress for the pipe layer operator, the designers developed a state-of-the-art operator's cabin with conveniently positioned control systems. Inside the cabin, a comfortable temperature is maintained regardless of whether the outside temperature reaches -50 C or +40 C.
Technical characteristics:
Engine:
Cummis-manufactured six-cylinder in-line four-cycle engine QSX15-C440; liquid cooling with turbo-supercharging and with cooling of supercharging air based on "air-to-air" principle.
Cubic capacity 14.99 liters.
Operating power 380 kW (419 h.p.) at 1,800 RPM.
Maximum torque 2,237 Nm at 1,400 RPM.
"Quantum" system with electronic fluid injection, diagnostics, protection, and engine control.
Transmission:
Planetary gear box. It enables three speeds of forward motion and three speeds of reverse movement with speed change under load.
Movement speed: forward - 0-12 km/hour; reverse - 0-14 km/hour.
Maximum pulling force at low gear by the engine torque: minimum 85 t.
Weight:
Operation weight: 65,000 kg.
Chassis (maximum): 50,000 kg.
Attached implements: 15,000 kg.
Load-lifting capacity:
with arm 2.5 m: 51 t
with arm 1.22 m: 104.5 t
Pipe-laying equipment:
Rated load-lifting capacity of TTG-511K: 51 t.
Speed of hook raising-lowering: slow mode - 0-4.5 m/min; accelerated mode - 0-16 m/min.
Boom length: 8.9 m.
Weight of counterbalance with frame: 12,715 kg.
At the customer's request, the pipe layer may be fitted with additional equipment, such as a boom having support with an end thrust bearing, which is brought to the opposite side of the trench, and 50-ton load pull winch with hydrostatic drive.
