Modernisation "Ivanovec" from students MGTU "MAMI"



Students of MGTU "MAMI" within the limits of the curriculum have executed projects of the truck crane for known Russian mark "Ivanovec". The task has been given pupils of the fourth year of chair "Design". We represent you the most interesting projects.

First of all it is necessary to notice that before students there was a problem only to modernise present crane KS-8973 and not to bring changes in configuration of the basic knots. The primary goal was to develop driver's cabs and the crane operator, plus to replace the basic facing panels for increase of competitiveness of the base crane. One of unpleasant features КС-8973 – a radiator sticking out on the left side of the truck crane while at any competitors, whether it be Liebherr LTM 1100-4.1 or even Chinese XCMG QY 100K, such it is not observed – a motor compartment behind a driver's cab goes flush with it. The given feature of 100-ton "Ivanovec" should be beaten somehow by means of various style decisions.

Certainly, work on the project has begun with preparation of the technical project with studying of existing competitors, and then on the basis of the done work students have created new images for KS-8973.

Gossips assert that the machine will start up on the conveyor of Slovak factory VW that will help to lower its price even more low, roughly, to 13 500 dollars in the homeland. Despite cost, Audi do not prepare to refuse the premium features like LED-lanterns, the navigator, mp3-radio tape recorders or possibility of connection of phone so three passengers on whom the car is calculated, will be surrounded by care, as in Q7. If the is the truth pre-series concept we can see in 2011.
