GAZ dump trucks and their features

GAZ dump trucks in Russia are very popular. They are used in agriculture, construction and communal spheres. Due to their small size, they have good maneuverability and dynamism. These characteristics facilitate the operation of the car in the city and beyond it.

Features of cars

GAZ cars are quite suitable for use as dump trucks. To do this, it is enough to install a dump body on the usual chassis and a mechanism for overturning it. In such cases, the body is an onboard platform, which is made of steel. It is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder, which is responsible for overturning.

GAZ-dumper (photos are presented in the article) can not boast of large volumes of transported goods. But with their small dimensions they can carry up to 1.2 tons. Additional "bells and whistles" are installed due to the loss of load capacity.

Ways of overturning

Auto GAZ (dumper) can have three modifications, depending on the method of tipping the body:

• With side discharge.

• With rear unloading.

• With three-way unloading.

When tipping over in several directions in each particular case, the direction is regulated by the driver. To do this, it is enough to reset the fixing fingers to the position that is necessary.

Dumpers "Next"

A new vehicle can be considered as a "Next" dump truck assembled on the basis of GAZelle. It has the ability to roll over on three sides. According to the idea of manufacturers, a commercial truck of this category should not just transport cargo. He should have a lightweight way of unloading. The body itself, installed on this model and responsible for its unloading, hydraulic cylinders are manufactured in Italy.

Experts from other countries also participated in the development of the power unit. Together, we managed to get a turbocharged diesel engine with a working volume of 2.8 liters, which is capable of producing 120 horsepower. This motor accelerates the GAZ dump trucks to 134 kilometers per hour. This speed is limited by the electronics settings. Consumption when driving through the city does not exceed 10.3 liters per hundred kilometers. When driving outside the city limits, the consumption is reduced to 8.8 liters.

To improve the patency of the car is equipped with a full drive. Due to this, it is able to move even on roads with poor coverage and off-road. The ground clearance is 170 millimeters.

The transmission is installed with five modes. In terms of handling, the dump truck produced on the basis of the cars "Next" exceeds its predecessors. He is confidently kept on the road.

To this end, a number of works were carried out: the frame was reinforced, and individual parts with improved performance were installed. An additional sub-frame of the body is mounted. An additional spar is installed in the transverse direction. Thanks to it, the load is distributed throughout the body. During the transportation of goods the spar supports the body. Replaced telescopic hydraulic cylinder, power take off, oil tank, pump. Tilting the body is carried out on three sides.
