How to raise the cabin to μsm 800

MKSM-800 is a small-sized mini-loader for performing various types of work from a Russian manufacturer. Special equipment is characterized by high reliability and performance.

The all-wheel drive chassis combined with a solid and flat bottom make this vehicle very passable. The “skidster” type of maneuvering (turning and turning) allows you to turn the machine almost on the spot. The fact is that control is carried out by rotating only one pair of wheels, while the other stands still.

However, it is the side turn that causes rapid tire wear. Several types of tires have been developed for the car. There are both the usual pneumatic ones, but with different types of frames, and solid rubber tires. The airless version is more suitable for use indoors and on flat, dry surfaces, due to the lack of chassis shock absorption on the loader. Also a plus will be the loader’s low load capacity. Additional equipment on the market is represented by more than 60 devices developed specifically for the MKSM platform.

Areas of application: construction

Due to its compactness and small size, MKSM-800 is used both indoors and on the construction site during low-rise construction. The range of peripheral equipment makes it truly universal and sometimes irreplaceable.

Here is a far from complete list of equipment used in general construction work:

• Construction/industrial bucket.
• Bulldozer blade.
• Double-jawed bucket.
• Pallet forks.
• Tipper bunker.
• Trencher.

Everything is relative

9.5 thousand cubic meters per day is the total volume of waste removed. Small-sized loaders are common in many sectors of the national economy. They can be found in workshops, warehouses, in the forestry and agricultural industries, road and housing construction - where, due to cramped working conditions, it is impossible or unprofitable to use conventional large-sized equipment.

The overall dimensions of MKSM-800 allow it to penetrate even into openings 2.1 m high and 1.8 m wide. But not only this attracts buyers: MKSM-800 is ideal for caring for sidewalks, pedestrian paths, alleys, markets, for laying communications, road maintenance work and landscaping.

The wide scope of application of MKSM-800 allows you to save on the purchase of specialized equipment. After all, the main feature of the MKSM-800, which distinguishes it from its competitors, is the versatility of this machine, which is achieved by using 17 types of quick-change attachments: main bucket, quarry bucket, forks, rotary blade, cargo pin... Moreover, the MKSM operator himself can change attachments without outside help. In this case, the hydraulic systems of the machine and attachments are connected through a quick-release coupling without draining the working fluid from the hydraulic system and, therefore, without getting dust, dirt and abrasive into it. The small overall dimensions and weight of the MKSM make it easy to transport in a truck or trailer. In this case, the MKSM can move between work areas under its own power.

The main competitors of MKSM remain no less popular in Russia: loaders produced by Uralvagonzavod and Bobcat and Locust machines. To consider the issue of the sales price level of MKSM-800 and the quality of work it provides, let’s consider the technical characteristics of the loader in comparison with competitors. The cost of the MKSM-800 is 25% higher than the cost of the PUM-800 loader (produced by the main domestic competitor of UVZ). At the same time, MKSM-800 has a number of advantages. First of all, this is a reliable and more economical imported Zetor engine, in contrast to the Vladimir D144 engine, the need for installation of which is due to the greater mass of the PUM compared to the MKSM-800. The best performance of the MKSM-800 is ensured by exceeding the volume of the main bucket, the maximum operating speed of movement, smooth running, the lifting height of the bucket, and greater traction force. The smaller turning radius and height make the MKSM-800 more maneuverable. Unlike the PUM-800, the travel hydraulics allow the MKSM-800 to rotate around its axis. Increased comfort of the MKSM-800 operator is ensured by joystick control of movement and work equipment. Imported side-steer loaders, offered by main competitors Bobcat and Locust, have a higher cost (up to 70%) compared to the MKSM-800 and a relatively small service network. Currently, the main competitive advantage of MKSM-800 compared to imported manufacturers is their price.

The positive properties of MKSM that attract consumers also include:

• simplicity of design;
• accessibility of engine units and systems, hydraulics, ensuring ease of maintenance;
• high maneuverability due to small dimensions and the ability to rotate on the spot, around its axis;
• the presence of various modifications of MKSM-800, ensuring the ability to work in various climatic regions of the country, at ambient temperatures from -40 to +50°C;
• operator comfort in any climatic conditions and at any time of the day is ensured by a spacious, heat- and sound-insulated cabin with good visibility; rear view mirror, front window wiper, four headlights to illuminate the work area, fan-dust separator, heater, comfortable seat, joystick control of movement and work equipment;
• operational safety is ensured by the presence of a system for blocking the boom and the movement of the machine when the operator leaves the cab;
• presence of an emergency exit in the cabin;
• multifunctionality (17 types of attachments);
• high cross-country ability in off-road conditions due to the installation of metal tracks.

The engine life of the MKSM-800 loader is comparable to that of imported equipment.

The presence of a wide service network provides convenience for servicing customers purchasing MKSM, while the service of the main competitors Bobcat and Locust is small and is in the development stage. JSC Kurganmashzavod has opened 29 service centers, including in near and far abroad countries: Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine, as well as in Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro. None of the competitors of Kurganmashzavod OJSC in the mini-loader sector has such an extensive service network for servicing machines.

Maintenance of MKSM-800 fully complies with the dealer agreement with OJSC Kurganmashzavod regarding warranty service. This is confirmed by the experience of service center employees. An instruction-agreement for servicing MKSM-800 has been developed for dealers of Kurganmashzavod OJSC, which includes three main requirements:

• having our own production base with a certain size of space and our own warehouse of spare parts;
• special equipment for servicing equipment;

• availability of qualified specialists who have completed a training course according to the program developed by OJSC Kurganmashzavod.

Positive reviews from MKSM-800 customers about the current level of machine service are the best evidence of Kurganmashzavod OJSC’s constant monitoring of quality and fulfillment of the put forward requirements.

Agriculture

A mini loader is also indispensable in agriculture. For this purpose there are forks and a bale transporter. To work in adverse road conditions, be it mud or other unstable surfaces, there are special metal tracks. The tracks are put on over the wheels and significantly increase the stability and maneuverability of the vehicle.

Russian model

Bobcat mini-loaders are successfully sold all over the world and were supplied to the USSR back in the late seventies of the twentieth century. They are in demand, but the price of cars supplied from overseas is too high for many potential buyers. To satisfy the demand for the sought-after product, Kurganmashzavod OJSC began production of its own equipment for a similar purpose, launching the production of the MKSM family of mini-loaders. The most popular model turned out to be MKSM-800.

Today, there are several modifications of MKSM-800 that have similar technical characteristics. The main difference is the power unit. Depending on the customer’s wishes, the following engines can be installed on the equipment:

• Hatz (Germany) air-cooled and 53 hp. With.
• Cummins (South Korea branch) with liquid cooling, developing power of 44.6 or 48 hp. With.
• Kubota (Japan) with liquid cooling and a power of 49.6 hp. With.

The loader can be equipped with a Russian-made GST-33 hydrostatic transmission or an Eaton equivalent manufactured in the USA.
