GAZ dump trucks are very popular in Russia. They are used in agriculture, construction and utilities. Due to their small size, they have good maneuverability and dynamism. These characteristics make it easier to operate the car in and outside the city.

Car features

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

GAZ dump truck (photos are presented in the article) cannot boast of large volumes of transported goods. But with their small dimensions, they are able to carry up to 1.2 tons. Additional "bells and whistles" are installed due to the loss of carrying capacity.

Tipping Methods

Auto GAS (dump truck) can have three modifications depending on the method of tipping the body:

Side dump

Srear unloading

Three-way unloading

When capsizing in several directions in each case, the direction is controlled by the driver. To do this, just reinstall the mounting pins in the position you need.

Valdai cars

GAZ Valdai dump trucks are produced on the basis of chassis 33106. This is a small truck that has absorbed the best aspects of the GAZelle and GAZon. Its length is 7100 millimeters, its width is 2350 millimeters. The height reaches 2245 millimeters. At the same time, its gross weight is 5850 kilograms. 1.5 tons of various cargoes.

The length of the body itself reaches 3600 millimeters. Its width is 2300 millimeters. The height of the installed boards is 400 millimeters.

The choice of the power unit fell on the powerful Cummins engine. It generates 152 horsepower. Complete with a five-speed gearbox, a fairly dynamic car is obtained. Wheel formula 4х2.

Next Dump Trucks

The Next dump truck assembled on the basis of the GAZelle can be considered a novelty. It has the ability to tilt on three sides. As planned by the manufacturers, a commercial truck in this category should not just carry goods. It must be easy to unload. The body itself, installed on this model and responsible for its unloading, is made in Italy.

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

To increase the cross-country ability, the car is equipped with all-wheel drive. Thanks to this, he is able to move even on roads with poor coverage and off-road. Ground clearance is 170 millimeters.

The gearbox is installed with five modes. In terms of controllability, the dump truck produced on the basis of Next vehicles surpasses its predecessors. He is confident on the road. The steering is very precise and fast. The suspension is hard. She will not give breakdowns even with a loaded body.

The cabin has good ergonomics. It is made taking into account two characteristics: simplicity and convenience. All sensors and levers are located so that the driver does not have to look for the right button for a long time. An experienced driver will deal with them intuitively.

The steering wheel does not block the instrument panel. Sitting on a comfortable seat with good lateral support, the driver gets good visibility. To this end, the seat is adjustable in several positions. There is a lot of space inside the cabin, it is very spacious. It can comfortablyaccommodate both the driver and passengers. Noise isolation is made at a high level. Extraneous sounds do not penetrate inside the cabin.

GAZ dump trucks of this modification are equipped with electronic windows made in Germany.

Business

On the basis of "GAZelle-3302" under the name "Business" GAZ dump trucks with a carrying capacity of 1.4 tons are assembled. To this end, a number of works were carried out: the frame was strengthened, individual parts with improved performance were installed. An additional body subframe has been installed. An additional spar is installed in the transverse direction. Thanks to him, 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 reservoir, pump. The tipping of the body is carried out on three sides.

GAZ dump trucks based on "Business" have dimensions of 5530 mm long, 2100 mm wide and 2260 mm high. The car weighs 3.5 tons.

The power unit is a four-cylinder injection engine running on gasoline or gas. Its volume is 2.89 liters. Power reaches 100 horsepower.

Car prices

The car "GAZ" (dump truck) has an affordable cost for many. And this is one of the most important reasons for the wide distribution of the car. You can buy a new dump truck for 800 thousand rubles. And this is not the most important thing. In the event of a breakdownyou can always contact the official service center. It will not be difficult to find it, since they are available in all major cities of the country.
