The cargo transportation market in Russia is gaining momentum every day. Demand is not only for the services of heavy trucks, but also for light commercial vehicles. GAZelle is currently the absolute leader in this area. Not a single apartment or office move can do without her participation, she promptly delivers any goods to any destination: building materials, electronics and even perishable products. That is why many entrepreneurs involved in private transportation of goods recommend using GAZelle.

The dimensions of the body of this car allow you to deliver any furniture and things in a timely manner. In addition, thanks to its compact dimensions, it can drive up to any entrance.

Moreover, now there are many modifications of GAZelle cars. The dimensions of the body can be 3, and 4, andeven 6 meters long. Although the latter is not much relevant today. This is due to the fact that with an increase in the body, its curb weight also increases. According to passport data, 6-meter extended modifications can carry no more than 1.1 tons of additional cargo. And if it is equipped with HBO of the "methane" type, this figure is generally reduced to 700 kilograms.

Because of this, few people use a 6-meter GAZ 3302 ("GAZelle" onboard car) for apartment moving. Body sizes of 3, 4.0 and 4.2 meters are much more popular. Despite the fact that their useful volume can be no more than 18 cubic meters (while 6-meter body sizes can be up to 33 cubic meters), they are more profitable, maneuverable in traffic and versatile. All parts endure much less stress, respectively, their service life is not so short. The frame, if you put no more than 1500 kilograms in the body, will last forever, and the engine will travel 250-300 thousand kilometers without major repairs. It is worth noting that the GAZelle car body dimensions can vary in height. It depends on the structure frame.

In general, the height of the booth can be from 175 to 220 centimeters. The larger the value, the larger the cubic capacity. Accordingly, when moving apartments, you can easily fit a 2- and even 3-room apartment. By the way, modern refrigerators and wardrobes can be placed vertically in the GAZelle if its height is 2-2.3 meters.

Application4-meter gazelles are especially important when transporting building materials. Metal profiles and channels, unlike prefabricated furniture, can hardly be disassembled and folded in half. That is why there are so many 4-meter GAZelle cars on our streets. Body dimensions 3x1.75x1.75 (three-meter platform) are currently in the least demand. Their volume is about 8 cubic meters, so only half an apartment can be accommodated in them. So it turns out that a 16-18-cc car (the body size of the GAZelle tent is 4 (4.2)x1.9x2.15 m) holds 2 times more things, and, accordingly, its profit increases 2 times.

Based on this, we can conclude that only a 4-meter GAZelle will be the best assistant in the field of cargo transportation.
