In our country there will always be a place that is colloquially called off-road, that is, impassable areas, etc. Despite the difficult accessibility of places, there are always tasks that must be performed there (be it hunting, fishing, exploration, search and rescue operations). What to do if it is necessary to move not only people, but also to deliver cargo across such terrain? Of course, you should use specialized equipment - caterpillar snow and swamp vehicles. Off-road (dirt roads, black earth after rains or in spring, rough terrain, snowdrifts, sandy soil, swamps, water barriers) will not create problems for a tracked snow and swamp vehicle.

Review of the domestic market

In the domestic market, you can find the following tracked all-terrain vehicles:

• Russo-B alt. Kegressa is a versatile amphibious all-terrain vehicle,which has the highest cross-country ability in all conditions.
• GTS GAZ-47 - a Soviet snow and swamp vehicle, created in the 40s of the XX century, has a slight specific pressure, can overcome water spaces up to 1.2 m deep, works without failures both at low temperatures (-50 ° C), and at high (+40 °C). This set of characteristics made the machine incredibly popular, due to which it provided work for a long time.
• Civil DT-3P - production was started by the Zavolzhsky plant of caterpillar tractors in the 60s. The company produces several vehicles: the GAZ-34039 model or the Irbis all-terrain vehicle, the GAZ-3409, called the Beaver all-terrain vehicle, the GAZ-3344 model.
• The all-terrain vehicle model CHETRA TM-140 is produced by OJSC Kurganmashzavod. It develops a speed of about 50 km / h; a payload capacity of 4000 kg and an extended range (800 km) are just some of the characteristics of this tracked all-terrain vehicle.
• Series of snow and swamp-going vehicles TMM produced by the Nizhny Novgorod plant of transport and technological machines LLC NPO Transport (TTM-3 Taiga, TTM-4902 with a trailer, TTM-4902 Ruslan with a hydraulic lift, TTM-6901 Antey). Modifications of machines, as a rule, are made, including for work in difficult northern conditions.
• Modifications of the GT-T and GT-TM produced by the Rubtsovsk branch of NPK UralVagonZavod. Nowadays, the plant produces about 14 models of all-terrain vehicles. Transporters can easily overcome water spaces afloat, the machines are distinguished by high maneuverability in a limited space, hard-to-reach terrain, they overcome steep slopes andbanks.
• DT-30 "Vityaz". The release was arranged by the Vityaz Machine-Building Company JSC. All-terrain vehicles of this family are characterized by speed for this class of vehicles.

This is not a complete list of caterpillar snow and swamp vehicles found on the domestic market.
