The cars on which the bodies of a dumper type are mounted are intended for the transport of bulk and other types of substances. They are unloaded by tilting the platform.
The GAZel dumper is in high demand foraccount for its maneuverability and economy, but at the same time it is able to transport various types of cargo for short distances and save time during unloading. Sand, gravel, garbage, grains and various agricultural feeds can all be transferred to a dump truck.
This car has a wide application inmunicipal services, agriculture, construction. A compact low-tonnage truck can easily travel distances in both urban and cross-country conditions with the least amount of time. To manage the dump truck, it's enough just to have a category of driving license "B", which also has an advantage in terms of driver selection.
An important feature is the possibilitypurchase and maintenance of the truck "GAZelle". The dump truck, whose price on the domestic market varies around 850 thousand rubles, has a different modification and configuration. Spare parts are much cheaper than spare parts for auto foreign analogs, and repairs can be carried out both independently and by applying to the services of auto repair shops.
With a small tonnage, the dump truck has a decentcarrying capacity. Unlike the flatbed, the tilted element is heavily weighed. But at the same time he can carry a cargo weighing up to 1.2 tons. The dump body is a metal platform with aluminum sides of various heights, which is tilted by a powerful hydraulic cylinder. To protect the cabin from damage to the goods during loading and transportation, the front side often has a greater height than others.
The GAZel truck can have three modifications:
Body platforms with the possibility of universalThe load dumps carry out the tipping process by changing the fixing pins to the desired position. Many elements are treated with an anti-corrosion coating, which significantly increases the service life. The body can be equipped with a tent to prevent the influence of the external environment (rain, snow, sunrays) on the cargo.
Another plus of the car is the opportunitycarry a few people along with the cargo. If there is a two-row cab, it can accommodate up to six people, which can be both loaders and escorts. The carrying capacity of such a car is one ton. In view of these characteristics, the dump truck on the chassis "GAZ-33023" is often used by public utilities and enterprises where the work of the brigade is envisaged.
"GAZelle" is equipped with a turbocharged engineCummins ISF with a volume of 2.8 liters and a capacity of 120 "horses". Coupled with the engine is a five-speed manual gearbox, which has proven itself on other auto modifications.
Dimensions are:
The maximum permissible weight of the goods carried is 1.2 tons.
It should be noted that the overall dimensions of the cargoplatform and the car itself vary depending on the modification. The GAZel dump truck is one of the most popular types of transport in construction.
So, dump trucks on the basis of "Valdai" differ in the greater capacity:
The dimensions of the body are:
In this technique, it is possible to open the rear and side walls. The weight of the transported cargo can reach 1.5 tons.
In 2013, at the exhibition of construction equipment andnew technologies were presented a new model of the dump truck "Next". This unit is equipped with the function of unloading on three sides, it is quickly converted, depending on the needs. Tipping body is due to the hydraulic device of the Italian firm OMFB and the telescopic cylinder Di Natali-Bertelli with three retractable pistons.
Hydraulic lift controlis carried out from the car cab with the help of the control panel. The cylinder is equipped with a safety automatic device, which suppresses the power unit when the maximum angle of inclination of the body is reached. This device significantly facilitates the work of the driver, and also prevents the destruction of the structure and parts of the truck "GAZelle". The photo of the car at the time of full body lifting points to the fact that the angle of inclination is sufficient for the problem-free discharge of almost any bulk material.
At full weight, the vehicle's ground clearance is170 mm (from the rear axle housing). Turning radius is 5.6 m. The maximum speed of the truck is 135 km / h. When driving at a speed of 80 km / h, fuel consumption is 10.3 liters.
Over time, car owners evaluated the profitabilityThe use of the car as a practical dump truck. In view of this factor, they are trying to independently implement the re-equipment of "GAZel". To perform this operation, you need any modification of the car of this model and a number of special equipment, tools and materials.
The first thing you should pay attention to the frame andwheels of the vehicle, because these parts of the dump truck require a larger margin of safety. To replace or equip the frame with additional elements it is necessary to acquire a jack and a device for welding the metal.
Next, you need to dismantle the unfit platform,instead of which a new body with a lift will be installed. Hydraulics of the dump truck can be purchased in the automotive market or from authorized dealers. It is also possible to install a self-made element on the machine. It can be made of metal profile and wooden material. For this, the body frame is welded according to the drawings, and the cavity of the frame is made of boards. The Council on how to make a "GAZelle dumper" can help motorists who have been exploiting this car for a long time and know its features and disadvantages, revealed in the process of driving.
Masters who are engaged in conversion,recommend installing the element so that there is a free space between it and the cab for mounting additional equipment. For example, a loader-manipulator. The body must be installed with this in mind so that it does not interfere with the rotation of the rear wheels. To do this, the frame is supplemented with a special stretcher, which can be made from an I-beam or a channel. If the modernization is carried out taking into account the characteristics of the material and detailed calculations of equipment and mechanisms, the truck initially made under the side or the van will be no worse than the factory analog. To increase the tonnage of the dump truck, the spring should be reinforced with additional elements. But do not overdo it, because cracks on the frame will be inevitable.
However, the re-equipment of "GAZel" is a matterquite painstaking and expensive. Without special technical knowledge and experience to implement this process of modernization is not so simple. Therefore, if it is possible to use the help of specialists, then it is better to do so.
If used as an informationmaterial this text on the installation of the body on the "GAZelle", photos depicting in detail the technological process of conversion, can provide you with serious assistance.
The dump truck produced by Gorkycar factory on the basis of cars "GAZelle", by right is considered an excellent and reliable assistant in various areas of human activity, which has been repeatedly proven in practice. After all, the use of heavy trucks is not always expedient and cost-effective, but in the city cycle it is not always possible.
With the development of the automotive industry in the future, the likelihood of the release of even more new models, the technical indicators and capabilities of which will please their fans.
So, we found out what kind of equipment such a GAZel dump truck is. Also, motorists have a lot of questions about this tractor, but this is already a topic for another article.
