How it's made, how it works, how it works. What is the best way to make a Gazelle dump truck: yourself or in an auto center

Like any other car, the Gazelle is often tuned. Moreover, tuning is done on any model - be it a flatbed truck or all metal van. What are the first improvements that a commercial vehicle undergoes?

Tuning the cab of a Gazelle truck

There are car enthusiasts who believe that a fairing is installed on the roof for beauty. The spoiler may be a decoration, but first and foremost it is intended to improve technical characteristics car. With the fairing, 5-10% of fuel is saved, and the car becomes more stable on the highway. And this is not an advertisement for a product at all - the spoiler is actually a useful improvement for the Gazelle.

It is especially effective on vans or tall Gazelles, where the resistance to oncoming air flow is quite high. It is the fairing that reduces resistance to headwinds.

Interior tuning

Basically, the Gazelle is needed not for beauty, but for business. Therefore, car owners strive to improve their cars to their advantage. A useful addition is the installation of a security alarm. It wouldn’t be amiss for a “workhorse” anti-theft system with auto start. For drivers commercial vehicles It is necessary for the car to start in the morning without problems in any frost. Autostart will come in handy here.

For ease of driving, drivers change the interior steering wheel– with a sports steering wheel, it becomes more convenient for someone to control the car. But the convenience is debatable - most likely, many people like the appearance of such a steering wheel.

Original tuning of the Gazelle interior

Many people install beautiful covers on their seats - they look aesthetically pleasing, and the seat upholstery does not get dirty or deteriorate. The seats themselves on the Gazelle are not changed often; they are already quite comfortable. If someone changes it, they install only one driver’s “seat” - from some cool foreign car, or a seat sports type(for example, Recaro).

Plastic hood for Gazelle

The need to replace the Gazelle hood can be explained by several reasons:

Constructive. A tilted hood is exposed to frequent external influences - impacts from stones, insects, which leads to frequent damage to the paintwork.
Technical. Installing a plastic hood with an air intake will help provide more intensive engine cooling, which is important for the hot seasons of the year.
Aesthetic. Installing a plastic hood will help you change the appearance Gazelles.

The hood for the Gazelle is produced by several manufacturers. There are several main directions that modify the appearance of the element:

Restyled version. Suggests more muscular middle part. This option is produced at the plant in Nizhny Novgorod.
The hood has an air intake and side “predatory” slits, simulating additional slots for air passage.

The direction considered relevant is when the hood is installed unpainted, or plastic surface. Among the disadvantages of a plastic hood is the unevenness of the resulting gaps in the body. It should be noted that fundamental differences There is no plastic hood installed on the Gazelle.

Tuning the Gazelle interior or cabin

There is probably no more room for possible works than carrying out interior modernization in the Gazelle.

Replacing hard, uncomfortable seats.
Installation of softer, possibly in a new color, upholstery of the instrument panel. Change appearance central tunnel.
Replacement of interior body panels.

Carrying out tuning of the interior should begin with determining the budget. If finances are limited, then first of all it is worth replacing the steering wheel with a steering wheel with a plumper rim. In practice, a two-tone steering wheel is often used, with the center pad being brighter.

A current option for improvement would be to cover the gray plastic parts of the center console with a more practical leatherette, Alcantara.

At large financial possibilities, the central panel is modified by installing drawers and decorating the air duct openings.

For passenger car It is worth changing the interior lighting by equipping the passage with LED lamps. Installation LED strips has a number of undeniable advantages:

Easy to install.
Low power consumption.
Long service life.
Soft light of any color.

In practice, they most often provide lighting for the passage of the passenger compartment of the Sobol model or minibuses, a step at the exit, workplace driver and glove box passenger.

When installing LEDs, it is necessary to provide the ability to control the LEDs separately, or to link their operation to the vehicle’s ignition system.

Chip tuning Gazelle

We can highlight the following problematic issues in the operation of the Gazelle engine:

Difficulties in operation when the engine spins up quickly.
Floating speed of the power unit.
Lack of traction at low and medium speeds.

It is advisable to carry out engine tuning when the car is constantly used in city traffic, when the car is operating under load. As practice shows, Gazelka behaves more confidently after boosting in this way when overtaking on the highway.

It is advisable to carry out chip tuning at a service station. Moreover, the cost of such work will not exceed several thousand rubles.

Gazelle engine tuning

Imperfect design base motor M-402 assumes whole line measures for its technical improvement:

Installing a weighted flywheel. Allows you to slightly increase engine torque.
Replacement air filter to the design with zero resistance. This allows you to increase motor power by up to 10%.
Carrying out additional “sealing” of the motor. The M-402 engine is characterized by the frequent occurrence of oil leaks, so additional lubrication of the gaskets with sealant, as well as replacing the gaskets with similar parts made from cork, will be relevant for the old Gazelle.
Finalization.

The last operation involves removing the standard fan from the motor and simultaneously replacing it with an electrical modification. Usually, to move the car, the cooling system effectively copes with cooling by pumping antifreeze in a large circle. In high load mode, the electric fan will be switched on.

For this purpose, equipment is installed on the engine according to the following diagram, the electrical connector of which is intended for connection to the points:

Pin 85 – to the “plus” of the ignition switch.
We connect wire 30 through a fuse to the “plus” of the battery.
Pin 86 – to the temperature sensor.
We connect wire 87 to ground.

After finishing work, you need to check the correct direction of the air flow that should go to the engine. Otherwise, the positive wire and ground are swapped.

Current type of improvement power block on the Gazelle is the installation of a hydraulic vacuum clutch booster. When working on delivery modifications such as “Farmer” or as urban transport, drivers often complained of pain in the knee joints from frequent pressing of the pedal.

To upgrade the unit, you can use an amplifier from classic models VAZ, which are more suitable in size for engine compartment Gazelle. It is necessary to take into account that at the same time you will have to change expansion tank cooling systems. In this case, a good replacement would be the same part from.

Tuning headlights for Gazelle

The efficiency of the headlight can also be increased. At the same time, vehicle safety is also improved by installing LED running lights.

Replacement standard headlights on more offers the largest number of different tuning options. However, if a large number of different options are offered for new headlights, they prefer not to modernize headlights that were 15 years old. But installing new headlights will require significant modifications to the front end, which is not always justified. Therefore, sometimes restoring the luminosity of the headlight may be sufficient.

Possible simple option tuning will be the following Gazelle update:

We replace glass diffusers. At the same time, you can use LED strips, which are secured with conventional gluing. Instead of installing LEDs, you can embed running lights into the bumper as a separate element.

We line the headlight reflectors with suitable sheet metal or special foil.
We replace the standard orange direction indicators with similar devices with white optics.
We carefully seal the headlight.

We install the headlights in place, connect the LEDs, and adjust the headlights.

Bumper tuning

A simple option for tuning an old-style Gazelle can be a more modern model. Possible values for such a replacement could include:

Improved airflow to the cooling radiator.
Possibility of harmoniously incorporating fog lights into the front end architecture.
Change aerodynamic drag car in general.
Change in appearance.

As a rule, the cost of even models made of high-quality plastic does not exceed several thousand rubles. The bumper can be chosen to match the body color or unpainted.

Tuning an old-style Gazelle is not only an opportunity to improve comfort and technical capabilities car, but also by necessity, which is caused by the duration of use of the car.

Changing from behind the wheel passenger car behind the wheel of a Gazelle, every driver feels apprehensive. Well, how restive the horse turns out to be! Or simply inconvenient to drive - like the UAZ-452 before tuning (page

Vain fears quickly pass. The Gazelle is, without a doubt, the most ergonomic creation of Russian car designers. Which does not at all exclude the possibility of successfully tuning the Gazelle!

Technical tuning of the Gazelle

Among the supporters technical improvement Only a few Gazelles advocate for a radical re-equipment of the car. At the same time, as a rule, there is no talk about remaking the engine - although citizens who have such an opportunity replace the standard GAZ unit with a Japanese-made engine + automatic transmission.

Such an operation is effective, but expensive and complex, and requires the involvement of third-party specialists. We are talking about tuning the Gazelle with our own hands, so we are talking about an even more modest scale. And there is no particular need for physical alteration of Gazelle engines.

But gear shifting needs to be dealt with decisively and irrevocably! Regular manual transmission The machine works flawlessly, but the long lever with its eternal tendency to uncontrollable rattling and a gradual increase in the amplitude of movements should be changed.

Installing a neat joystick is not difficult. Moreover, the cable gear selector has become a standard feature of the latest models of GAZ minibus.

If you are tuning an onboard Gazelle, there is a high probability that you will need to increase the vehicle's carrying capacity. In addition to the mandatory frame reinforcement (see), it is useful to equip the car with air suspension with electronic level control.

Installing air springs is preferable to reinforcing the springs with additional sheets. Increasing the stiffness of the suspension by increasing the thickness of the springs significantly changes the behavior of the car on the road. An unloaded Gazelle with overly stiff springs begins to “goat” on potholes.

The method of impact-sledgehammer re-pressing of additional spring leaves, common in the practice of amateur tuning of Gazelles, leads to the formation of areas of microscopic cracking of the metal - which ultimately results in spring failures at maximum vehicle load. Bending springs without preheating the metal means breaking the product!

An ingenious way to increase the capacity of the body of an old Gazelle is to install an additional rear axle. The third axle is mounted behind the drive wheels, and is a standard rear axle, disconnected from the drive and completely devoid of the gear filling of the gearbox.

The most proactive car owners make the third lifting axle. The most advanced ones connect an additional axle to the cardan transmission - but only if they have an economical diesel engine rumbling under the Gazelle hood. Otherwise you only have to carry gasoline...

On the Internet you can find materials about installing powerful engines from high-speed cars on the Gazelle. passenger cars(fortunately, there are a lot of such units at dismantling sites). The economic efficiency of such an event is negligible - although purchasing a used motor does allow you to save money.

The operating parameters of high-speed power units are not applicable to both cargo and passenger Gazelle. The result of forced “hybridization” of a car is usually increased wear transmissions, excessive fuel consumption, accelerated carbon formation in the piston group of the engine.

Tuning the engine cooling system

Which of the “gazelists” is not aware of the problem of summer heat? An engine heated to its operating maximum cannot be turned off: it boils! Moreover: in many cases normal wear and tear engine entails, among other things, a decrease in the performance of the cooling system, as a result of which boiling can occur not only when turning off a hot engine, but even when switching from high speed to idle.

Among the proposed solutions, the engineering service of the Avtodela magazine seems optimal to install an additional temperature sensor in the area of the lower pipe. The fan that ensures air movement through the radiator honeycombs must in this case have an electric drive.

A certain number of alterations are required when leaving the standard fan unchanged (with a belt drive) and installing an additional fan between the radiator and the body radiator grille. Placing two fans in the same working plane looks much more elegant. In the photo of the Gazelle tuning you can see the details of such a modification.

An expensive but very effective method of improving the cooling system of an old-style Gazelle engine is to replace the standard radiator with a copper one. A half action is also practiced: installing an additional copper heat exchanger with connecting the device to the lower and upper pipes.

However, the installation of a factory or homemade coil from copper tube in front of the radiator can ruin things. The deterioration of the cooling system occurs due to a decrease in the intensity of the air flow passing through the honeycombs.

Chip tuning: useful additives to engine productivity

Chip tuning is necessary for the gazelle engine to the same extent as any other engine needs it. internal combustion. The main aspects of chip tuning are covered in the article on the page. According to reviews from car owners, Gazelle chip tuning allows you to:

Make the speed increase fast and smooth, without failures or failures;

Eliminate the effect of “floating” speed in all speed ranges;

Increase traction during the acceleration phase.

Don’t expect a noticeable reduction in fuel consumption from Gazelle chip tuning. But you will certainly feel an increase in throttle response and torque!

Tuning the Gazelle's interior

The three of us in the cabin of the on-board Gazelle are frankly a bit cramped. But if you convert the right sofa into a single chair and forget about the second passenger, it will turn out luxurious. The Gazelle's interior is covered in white leather to enhance the feeling of luxury.

The “gentleman’s kit” for tuning the Gazelle’s interior usually includes:

Equipping doors with electric window lifts;

Replacing the standard heater with a more efficient one;

Installation of ergonomic seats;

Installation of audiovisual equipment;

Making a ceiling console (or shelf);

Rework dashboard with installation of an on-board computer.

Reconstructing the drive of the sliding windows is simple and does not cause difficulties even for a novice gazelle driver. Heating is being improved in two ways. The first way is to replace the fan and radiator with more efficient devices; the second way is to install (usually under the passenger seat) an additional stove, preferably an autonomous one.

The ceiling console is used to accommodate non-standard electronics, speakers, lighting fixtures. It has been found out experimentally: using a homemade ceiling shelf for transporting all sorts of small items sooner or later turns into a useful addition to the bomb bay. Don't go wrong with your choice!

GAZelle tuning: how not to lose face

The ambitious goals of auto tuning are not an excuse for those who do not improve, but worsen. What not to do? Like this!

You can only move in such a car very slowly and away from other transport. And such a structure will not last long - unless a steel plate as thick as an arm is hidden under the bottom of the body.

The desire for stylistic unity of a house, a car and an old wagon left over from a gypsy grandfather can play a cruel joke on the owner of a Gazelle. Bright rags, golden fringe, pennants on the windshield, patterns on the windows... They say half of India and all of Pakistan drive like this. But where is India and where are we? With such tuning of the Gazelle, you won’t get far in our country, and not only because of the indignation of the traffic police inspectors.

Swivel seats are a great idea! The car doesn't always move, does it? Chat while parked better face to your face! The main thing is the reliability of fixing the seats in the selected position. Otherwise, turns on the road will have to be carried out in two steps: the first is to rotate the steering wheel; the second is to return the chair to its original position.

Flocking of body surfaces is either becoming fashionable or will never go out of fashion... Any fleecy material is an unsurpassed dust accumulator and an inexhaustible source of fibrous deposits, but this is not enough. Flocking is a great way to paint your cabin in eye-catching contrasting colors. No one would want to drive such a car!

Reworking the Gazelle body

High body covered cargo Gazelle- both good and evil. An increase in aerodynamic drag leads to a sharp increase in fuel consumption. A fairing mounted above the cabin can improve streamlining. But only if its size and shape are adequate to the geometric parameters of the car. Errors in choosing the shape of the fairing cannot be compensated for by installing additional headlights.

It's no better if the usefulness of the original idea is drowned in layers of pseudo-improvements. Additional air intakes on the hood and above the hood; visor over the windshield; embossed bumper for Gazelle; the lower side body kit is nothing more than banal excesses.

And even the incredible light tuning of the Gazelle does not improve the situation. Such a car is noticeable and looks catchy - especially in dark time days - but ugly. And for an impressionable pedestrian - a completely horned messenger of the underworld...

Gazelle is a big car. It would seem that nothing prevents it from being used as an object for artistic experiments of any scale. But not everything is so simple...

Enlarged wheel disks, infernally shining disc brakes, a maxi-skirted body kit, a stenciled dragon on the side... Visually, the car crouched and rushed off. But even on the smooth roads of the airfield, you can only drive it in the summer, exclusively in windless, dry weather.

A fur coat suits a car, you’ll agree! We bring to your attention a very feminine tuning of the Gazelle, and even with an emphasis on the ever-fashionable leopard motifs. As they say in medically insurmountable cases - “stylish, sweet, gentle, touching.” And probably not cheap. It’s also profitable if you follow this cat’s Gazelle and take bets from gambling passers-by on the rate of corrosion of fur-covered metal.

Long the car is moving softer, there is plenty of space inside... But! If you weld (even in a factory setting) two standard Gazelle bodies together, be prepared for the rapid appearance of cracks in the most unexpected places. Yes, and in the expected ones too.

Any box-shaped structure is unstable to torsion, and all artisanal attempts to strengthen and secure the body by welding gussets, ties, reinforcements and other weighting agents are ineffective. But it looks impressive, no doubt!

Instead of a conclusion

Many aspects of tuning the Gazelle with your own hands remained unexplained. In future materials we will definitely touch on the topic of converting the Gazelle into a full-fledged camper; We systematize developments in improving the cross-country ability of cars; We will tell you in detail about tuning heating and electrical equipment.

Gazelle tuning has great opportunities and broad prospects!

Light-duty transport is in high demand in the intracity transportation market. It makes no sense to hire big truck to deliver a consignment of goods weighing up to one and a half thousand kilograms to a warehouse located on a nearby street. The best car The Gazelle dump truck will be used to transport sand, cement or crushed stone to the construction team working at the site.

Where does the conversion of a gazelle into a dump truck begin?

First, the owner or his authorized representative needs to visit the traffic police MREO at the place of registration of the car to declare in writing the intention to convert the existing vehicle into a dump truck.

The response to an official appeal will be the decision of the head of the unit, which specifies the conditions for modernization truck and a list of certified car services (legal and individuals), having permission to carry out work on the conversion of vehicles.

The traffic police has established strict control over compliance technical regulations. Conversion of light-duty trucks requires compliance with numerous requirements of Rostechnadzor. Enterprises and entrepreneurs accredited by territorial government bodies are allowed to carry out the specified work.

Chassis for a new vehicle

Four or six meters long bases are used as a base. Vehicles with a short body are in high demand due to their high maneuverability.

For transportation within the city this is a priority requirement. It is much easier to turn around on narrow streets or in the courtyards of high-rise buildings with such a car. Six-meter vehicles have found their niche in the cargo transportation market. They are rented for the delivery of sheet metal, pipes, channels, boards, profile iron and other dimensional materials.

A favorite modification for converting a vehicle into a dump truck is a four-meter tanker or an onboard Gazelle. The robust frame on these vehicles is capable of withstanding the loads created by the tipping body. It is convenient to place additional equipment on it (hydraulic pump with lift and subframe structure).

Spare parts, tools and accessories

To convert a tanker truck or an on-board vehicle into a dump truck based on a gazelle, the master cannot do without:

telescopic lift;

hydraulic pump;

high pressure hoses;

a set of metalwork tools;

electric welding machine;

Important note: First of all, the frame and rear are subject to modernization. chassis car. The drive axle suspension must be strengthened by adding one, two or three leaves to the spring. When lifting the body, the load on rear axle will increase significantly. Factory springs cannot cope with such pressure.

At the second stage it is necessary to dismantle old body, install the subframe with the telescopic lift, secure the brackets for the hydraulic oil tank and lay out the electrical wiring harnesses.

How to make a Gazelle dump truck with your own hands

Keep in mind that making a Gazelle dump truck out of an onboard vehicle will require the performer to have professional knowledge and skills in plumbing.

Electric welding of metal structures for the construction industry and similar work on a car are very different.

If the master is confident in his abilities, he can begin re-equipment on-board vehicle into a dump truck. "Gazelle" - best base for experiments.

Start with simple tasks:

replace the ground wire between the engine and the frame (installing an electric motor for the hydraulic lift will increase the load by electrical circuit, factory wiring it won’t stand it and will burn out);

make a tilting body from metal channels and profiled iron sheets (do not make it high, design it so that the sides can be increased during operation).

Helpful Hint: To reduce the load on the body lift button, install a solenoid. Don't save money when purchasing hydraulic coupling, reliable retention of the body in top position and your safety.

Refurbishment cost

Certified auto repair shops will convert a tanker or an onboard Gazelle into a dump truck for approximately 60-120 thousand rubles.

Doing it yourself will reduce costs to 20,000 rubles. This kind of savings is worth the effort!

Purchasing a used body will help reduce financial expenses (there is no need to pay for channels, angles and metal profiles).

Converting a gazelle-based chassis into a dump truck will pay for itself within a month of operation. The demand for services for the transportation of small-tonnage consignments is constantly growing.

The absolute leader in the domestic cargo transportation market is the Gazelle dump truck. It is impossible for any team of builders and craftsmen to decorate premises (apartments, offices or commercial enterprises in the areas of trade and services) to do without such a machine.

Vehicles on which dump-type bodies are installed are designed for transporting bulk and other types of substances. They are unloaded by tilting the platform.

The GAZelle dump truck is in great demand due to its maneuverability and efficiency, but at the same time it is capable of transporting various types of cargo over short distances and saving time when unloading. Sand, gravel, garbage, grain crops and various agricultural feeds can all be transferred by dump truck.

This vehicle is widely used in public utilities, agriculture, in construction. Compact light truck can easily cover distances both in urban conditions and over rough terrain with the least amount of time. To drive a dump truck, you just need to have category B driving license, which also has its advantage in terms of driver selection.

Truck Features

An important feature is the ability to purchase and maintain a GAZelle truck. The dump truck, the price of which on the domestic market varies around 850 thousand rubles, has various modifications and complete set. Spare parts are much cheaper than car parts foreign analogues, and repairs can be carried out either independently or by turning to the services of auto repair shops.

With a small tonnage, the dump truck has a decent load capacity. Unlike onboard platform, the overturned element is distinguished by its large weight. But at the same time it can transport cargo weighing up to 1.2 tons. The dump body is a metal platform with aluminum sides of varying heights, which is tipped by a powerful hydraulic cylinder. To protect the cabin from damage by goods during loading and transportation, the front side often has a greater height than others.

Body options

The GAZelle cargo dump truck can have three modifications:

with body tipping backwards;
with two-way tilting;
with the possibility of unloading on three sides.

Body platforms with the ability to universally dump cargo carry out the tipping process by moving the fastening pins to the desired position. Many elements have been processed anti-corrosion coating, which significantly increases the service life. The body can be equipped with an awning to prevent the influence of the external environment (rain, snow, sun rays) on the cargo.

Another advantage of the car is the ability to transport several people along with the cargo. If there is a two-row cabin, you can accommodate up to six people in it, who can be both loaders and escorts. The carrying capacity of such a vehicle is one ton. Due to these characteristics, a dump truck on the GAZ-33023 chassis is often used by public utilities and enterprises where crew work is required.

Technical characteristics of the dump truck

The GAZelle is equipped with a turbocharged ISF with a volume of 2.8 liters and a power of 120 horsepower. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission, which has proven itself in other

Dimensions are:

length - 5.3;
width - 2.1;
height - 0.4 m.

The maximum permitted weight of transported cargo is 1.2 tons.

It is worth noting that cargo platform and the car itself change depending on the modification. The GAZelle dump truck is one of the most popular types of transport in construction.

Thus, at the Valdai base they have a larger capacity:

the length of the car is - 7.1;
width - 2.35;
height - 2,245 m.

Body dimensions are:

length - 3.6;
width - 2.3;
height - 0.4 m.

In this technique, it is possible to open the rear and side sides. The weight of transported cargo can reach 1.5 tons.

"GAZelle Next" (dump truck)

In 2013 at the exhibition construction equipment and new technologies were presented new model"Next" dump truck. This unit is equipped with a three-way unloading function; it can be quickly converted depending on needs. Body tipping occurs due to hydraulic device Italian company OMFB and Di Natali-Bertelli telescopic cylinder with three retractable pistons.

Control is carried out from the car cabin using the control panel. The cylinder is equipped with a safety automatic device, which jams power unit when the maximum body tilt angle is reached. This device significantly facilitates the driver’s work and also prevents the destruction of the structure and parts of the GAZelle dump truck. A photo of the car at the moment the body is fully raised indicates the fact that the angle of inclination is sufficient for trouble-free unloading of almost any bulk material.

Total information

At gross weight ground clearance car is 170 mm (from the crankcase rear axle). The turning radius is 5.6 m. Maximum speed truck movement - 135 km/h. When driving at a speed of 80 km/h, fuel consumption is 10.3 liters.

How to make a dump truck from an ordinary GAZelle

Over time, car owners have appreciated the benefits of using a car as a practical dump truck. In view of this factor, they are trying to independently carry out the re-equipment of the GAZelle. To carry out this operation, you will need any modification of a car of this model and a number of special equipment, tools and materials.

Briefly about the process

The first thing you should pay attention to is the frame and wheels of the vehicle, because these parts of the dump truck require a greater margin of safety. To replace or equip the frame with additional elements, you need to acquire a jack and a machine for welding metal.

Next, you need to dismantle the unsuitable platform, in its place will be installed new body with a lift. Dump truck hydraulics can be purchased at the automotive market or from official dealers. It is also possible to install a hand-made element on the machine. It can be made from metal profile and wooden material. To do this, the body frame is welded according to the drawings, and the cavities of the frame are made from boards. Motorists who have been using it for a long time can help with advice on how to make a GAZelle dump truck. this car and know its features and disadvantages identified during driving.

Craftsmen who are engaged in re-equipment recommend installing the element so that between it and the cabin there is a free place for installation additional equipment. For example, a loader-manipulator. The body must be installed in such a way that it does not interfere with rotation rear wheels. To do this, the frame is supplemented with a special subframe, which can be made from an I-beam or channel. If the modernization is carried out taking into account the characteristics of the material and detailed calculations of equipment and mechanisms, then a truck, originally made as a flatbed or van, will turn out no worse than its factory counterpart. To increase the tonnage of the dump truck, the springs should be strengthened with additional elements. But don't overdo it, as cracks in the frame will inevitably occur.

However, re-equipping a GAZelle is a rather painstaking and costly task. Without special technical knowledge and experience, this modernization process is not so easy to carry out. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to use the help of specialists, then it is better to do so.

If you use this text on installing the body on a GAZelle as information material, photos depicting in detail technological process conversions can be of great help to you.

Summary of the review

Flatbed dump truck produced Gorky Automobile Plant based on GAZelle cars, is rightfully 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-duty vehicles is not always advisable and cost-effective, and in the urban cycle it is not always possible.

With the development of the auto industry in the future, there is a high probability of the release of even newer models, technical indicators and whose capabilities will delight their fans.

So, we found out what this type of equipment is like a GAZelle dump truck. Motorists also have many questions about this tractor, but this is a topic for another article.
