Timber trucks "Ural" are designed to transport logs and assortments, the maximum length of which does not exceed 23 meters. With incredible technical characteristics that make this tractor a real all-terrain vehicle, the truck feels good both on public roads and on rough terrain. Timber carrier "Ural" with hydraulic manipulators can work in harsh conditions without any devices designed to lift loads.
Strengths and weaknesses
The obvious advantages of the Ural timber carriers include:
- high level of cross-country ability on the most difficult sections of the road;
- repairability of design and components;
- reliability in the operation of all components and assemblies;
- great build quality;
- model range providing a wide range of vehicles designed for operation both on rough terrain and on public roads;
- large range of spare parts like newvehicles and discontinued models.
The disadvantage is a rather "gluttonous" engine, which does not always meet environmental standards and standards.
Design Features
The design of the "Ural" timber carriers is quite simple. As a rule, the tractor has a wheel formula of 6 x 6. A dissolution trailer is attached to the truck, which, with the tractor itself, has a swivel bunk designed for cornering, since the design of the Ural timber carrier does not provide for a rigid hitch with a trailer. In most cases, machines operating in difficult conditions are equipped with additional equipment, such as a manipulator. Timber carrier "Ural" with a "mechanical arm" is able to independently load the trailer with timber.
