Gazelle farmer homemade dump truck. Dump truck gazelles - "old women" with new features

13.06.2019

Changing from behind the wheel passenger car behind the wheel of a Gazelle, every driver is apprehensive. And well, how the horse will be skittish! Or just inconvenient to drive - like the UAZ-452 before tuning (page

Unnecessary fears pass quickly. The Gazelle is, without a doubt, the most ergonomic creation of Russian auto designers. Which does not exclude the possibility of a successful tuning of the Gazelle!

Technical tuning Gazelle

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

Such an operation is effective, but expensive and complicated, and requires the involvement of third-party specialists. We are talking about tuning the Gazelle with our own hands, so we touch on a more modest scale. Yes, and there is no particular need for a physical alteration of the Gazel motors.

But with gear shifting you need to deal decisively and irrevocably! Established mechanical box 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 easy. Moreover, the cable shifter has become an element of the standard equipment of the latest models of the GAZ minibus.

If you are tuning onboard Gazelle, the likelihood of the need to increase the carrying capacity of the car is high. In addition to the mandatory strengthening of the frame (see), it is useful to equip the car with air suspension with electronic level control.

Installing air bags 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 shock-sledgehammer repressing of additional spring sheets, common in the practice of amateur tuning of Gazelles, leads to the formation of foci of microscopic metal cracking - which ultimately turns into breakage of springs when maximum load car. Bending the springs without preheating the metal means breaking the products!

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

The most enterprising car owners make the third axle lifting. The most advanced ones connect an additional axle to the driveline - but only if an economical diesel engine rumbles under the Gazelle hood. Otherwise, you only have to carry gasoline ...

On the network you can find materials about the installation of powerful engines from high-speed cars(the benefit of dismantling such units is a dime a dozen). The economic efficiency of such an event is negligible - although the purchase of a used motor really allows you to save money.

The operating parameters of high-speed power units are hardly applicable to both cargo and passenger Gazelle. The result of forcible "hybridization" of a car is usually increased wear transmission, excessive fuel consumption, accelerated carbon formation in piston group motor.

Tuning the engine cooling system

Which of the "gazelles" is not aware of the problem of summer heat? An engine warmed up to its operating maximum must not be turned off: it boils! Moreover, in many cases normal wear and tear engine also entails a decrease in the performance of the cooling system, as a result of which boiling can occur not only when the hot engine is turned off, but even when switching from high speed to idle.

Among the proposed solutions, the engineering service of the Avtodela magazine considers the installation of an additional temperature sensor in the area of the lower pipe to be optimal. The fan, which provides air movement through the radiator cells, must in this case be electrically driven.

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 radiator grille of the body. Placement of two fans in one working plane looks much more elegant. In the Gazelle tuning photo, you can see the details of such a rework.

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

However, installing a factory or handicraft copper tube coil in front of the radiator can ruin the deal. The deterioration of the operation of the cooling system occurs due to a decrease in the intensity of the air flow passing through the cells.

Chip tuning: useful additives to motor productivity

Chip tuning is necessary for a 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 car owners, Gazelle chip tuning allows you to:

Make a set of revolutions fast and smooth, without failures and failures;

Eliminate the effect of "floating" speed in all speed ranges;

Increase traction in the acceleration phase.

Do not expect a noticeable reduction in fuel consumption from Gazelle chip tuning. But you will definitely feel the increase in throttle response and traction!

Tuning salon Gazelle

The three of us in the cabin of the onboard Gazelle are frankly cramped. But if you convert the right sofa into a single chair and forget about the second passenger, it will turn out luxurious. Strengthening the feeling of luxury contributes to the close-fitting interior of the Gazelle with white leather.

IN " gentleman's set"Tuning of the Gazelle salon is included, as a rule:

Equipping doors with electric glass lifts;

Replacing the standard heater with a more efficient one;

Installation of ergonomic seats;

Installation of audiovisual equipment;

Production of a ceiling console (or shelf);

Alteration dashboard with on-board computer.

Alteration of the sliding glass drive is simple and does not cause difficulties even for a novice "gazelist". Improvement of heating is carried out in two ways. The first way is to replace the fan and radiator with more efficient devices; second way - installation (usually under the passenger seat) additional stove, better offline.

The overhead console is used to accommodate aftermarket electronics, speakers, lighting fixtures. Empirically, it was found out: the use of a home-made ceiling shelf for transporting all sorts of little things sooner or later turns a useful addition into a bomb bay. Make no mistake with your choice!

GAZelle tuning: how not to lose face

The ambitious goals of autotuning are no excuse for those who do not improve, but worsen. How not to do it? Like this!

You can only move in such a car very slowly and away from other vehicles. Yes, and such a design will not last long - unless a steel plate as thick as a hand is hidden under the bottom of the body.

The desire for the stylistic unity of the house, the car and the old wagon, left over from the gypsy grandfather, can play a cruel joke with the owner of the Gazelle. Bright rags, golden fringes, pennants at 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 go far with us, and not only because of the indignation of the traffic police inspectors.

Swivel seats are a great idea! Doesn't the car always run? Chat while parked better face to the 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 stages: the first is the rotation of the steering wheel; the second is the return of the chair to its original position.

Flocking of body surfaces either comes into fashion, or does not come out of it ... 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 the cab in eye-patch contrasting colors. No one wants to drive in such a car!

Alteration of the body of the Gazelle

High body covered cargo Gazelle- both good and evil. The increase in aerodynamic drag leads to sharp increase fuel consumption. A fairing mounted above the cab can improve streamlining. But only if its size and shape are adequate to the geometric parameters of the car. Mistakes in choosing the shape of the fairing are not atoned for by installing additional headlights.

It is 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 above the windshield; embossed bumper on the Gazelle; the lower side kit is nothing more than banal excesses.

And even the incredible light tuning of the Gazelle does not fix things. Such a car is noticeable, looks catchy - especially in dark time days - but ugly. And for an impressionable pedestrian, it’s like a horned messenger of the underworld ...

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

Enlarged wheel disks, infernal shining disc brakes, a maxi-skirt body kit, a stenciled dragon on its side... Visually, the car sat down and sped away. But even on the smooth paths of the airfield, you can ride it only in summer, only in calm, dry weather.

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

Long the car is coming softer, inside it has plenty of space ... But! If you weld (even in the factory) two standard Gazelle bodies together, be prepared for cracks to appear soon in the most unexpected places. Yes, and in the expected ones too.

Any box-shaped structure is unstable to twisting, and all artisanal attempts to strengthen and secure the body by welding on scarves, ties, amplifiers and other weighting agents are ineffective. But it looks spectacular, no doubt!

Instead of a conclusion

Many aspects of tuning the Gazelle with their own hands remained unlit. In future materials, we will definitely touch on the conversion of the Gazelle into a full-fledged camper; we systematize the achievements of increasing the cross-country ability of cars; we will talk in detail about tuning heating and electrical equipment.

At the Gazelle tuning - great opportunities and great perspectives!

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

Tuning cab truck Gazelle

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

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

Salon tuning

Basically, the Gazelle is needed not for beauty, but for business. Therefore, car owners seek to improve the car with benefit. A useful addition is the installation of a burglar alarm. For " workhorse» will not be superfluous anti-theft system with autostart. Drivers commercial transport it is necessary that the car starts in the morning without problems in any frost. Autorun will come in handy here.

For the convenience of driving in the cabin, drivers change steering wheel- with sports steering wheel Some people feel more comfortable driving. But convenience is debatable - most likely, many people like the appearance of such a steering wheel.

Original tuning of the Gazelle salon

Many install beautiful seat covers on the seats - they look aesthetically pleasing, besides, the seat upholstery does not get dirty or deteriorate. The seats themselves on the Gazelle do not change often, they are already quite comfortable. If someone changes, then he puts only one driver's "seat" - from some cool foreign car, or a seat sports type(for example, "Recaro").

Main technical characteristics of GAZelles

For the above and many other reasons, short body models are a great success. The volume of such cars is about 18 cubic meters, while for 6-meter bodies this figure reaches 33 meters.

The latter type of car is more maneuverable in traffic jams, it is able to bring big profit in comparison with shortened models, however, this still does not affect its popularity.

All parts of such a body carry less load, so their life span is significantly higher than that of shortened models. The frame is able to last for ages if it is not loaded with a weight exceeding 1500 kg.

The engine is able to drive from 250 thousand km without repair. Body models may vary in height. This indicator depends on the frame of the structure.

The GAZelle booth can be from 175 to 220 cm in height - the cubic capacity depends on the value of this value. This volume allows you to accommodate utensils from a 3-room apartment.

If the height of the GAZelle reaches 2 meters, you can safely place a refrigerator or cabinet in an upright position in it.

Four-meter gazelles are actively used in transportation building materials.

Often, the channel and metal profiles cannot be folded during transportation, so it is advisable to use 4-meter GAZelles.

When constructing a dump truck on your own, it is better to make open cabs. since engineers must calculate the height of the bunkers, because otherwise the dump truck may roll over at one moment.

In order to avoid such an opportunity, it is enough to follow only a few simple rules.

Is it possible to make a dump truck from a GAZelle on your own?

Inventive motorists have realized how profitable it is to have a GAZelle as a carrier or a dump truck, so they are trying to modify the model with their own hands.

There are many tutorials and step-by-step instructions available online. This article contains and describes the most popular and quality ways make a dump truck out of a GAZelle.

It should be noted right away that professional performance of work can only be guaranteed by masters who have experience in this field and are well aware of the nuances and costs of working with cars.

But, if the owner of a GAZelle needs very little from his car, he can test his strength and try to assemble a dump truck with his own hands.

Theoretically, this is not difficult, because many people share their experiences and put them online step by step instructions with photos and videos.

For each person in these instructions there may be something interesting that he can use in his work, and which he did not suspect before.

Examples of creating a dump truck from a GAZelle

To achieve the intended goal, it is suitable and old gazelle. The master will need: lifts, a jack, a welding machine, a platform (you can use a bunker) and paint. Advanced motorists call such a change in the car "tuning".

The first thing to do when working on a car is the frames and wheels. because the dump truck requires more high power. In order to change the frame, you should use a jack and a welding machine.

You need to get rid of arched protrusions that can interfere with the wheels.

The second stage of work includes the removal of the old and, in a sense, unusable body. In its place, a bunker and telescopic lifts will be installed.

The bunker can be purchased at automotive market comparatively low price, and lifts are sold only in stores or dealer centers.

After everything necessary components will be found and installed, it remains only to work on appearance the resulting truck, remove the seams and smooth the joints.

Before direct operation, the car must be tested.

As noted above, the body must first be completely removed from the chassis in order to be able to remove or change the subframe.

In addition to the fact that in the future it may touch the wheels, there is also the possibility that it will crack soon due to the thin material.

After all, the design assembled at the factory was not originally designed for heavy loads.

It is also worth taking care of the length of the base, because factory models have too modest parameters. For the subsequent installation of the MKU, the base must be lengthened.

By following these simple rules, the master gets:

elongated body shape, which allows you to install hydraulic system;
automatic lifting of the cargo plane;
convenient system management mechanism.

Some drivers with experience in assembly and welding work offer a different solution: removing the old body and installing a new one, assembled with their own hands.

The cab of the GAZelle or the bunker, which will be fixed on the platform, can be made of metal profiles and wooden boards.

The cab is mounted on a hydraulic system. which will regulate its movement when unloading materials. Such a solution can be used later as a loader of building materials, it is also possible to transport furniture and much more indoors.

As noted earlier, for such purposes it is better to use an elongated body, on which it is easier to install a cab or bunker.

Generally long body improves performance indicators, it is more convenient to install hydraulics on it, because its movement also requires space.

Welding of other components of the future body and axle

Attention! Poorly welded parts can simply “break” on the go and pose a threat to the life of the driver, other road users and pedestrians.

The subframe can be welded from both the inner and outer channel. At the same time, the slats should be bent so that they resemble the shape of the frame as much as possible.

The small rail must be inserted into the large channel so that they form a rectangle.

After that, the structure must be welded along the entire length. After the body is fixed, you can remove the required length, which will allow you to adjust its position.

Then, with the help of stepladders, it is necessary to attach the prepared channel to the frame.

To align the plane of the frame and slats, a fire hose must be laid between the channel and the ladder. Particular attention should be paid to welding, because the entire fastening of the structure depends on the soldered parts.

The cost of creating a dump truck from a GAZelle

In terms of prices, it is worth noting that self-conduct works are much cheaper, because the costs relate only to consumables and necessary parts.

The average price for the services of creating a dump truck from a GAZelle varies from 60 to 100 thousand rubles.

Self-creation of a dump truck will cost about 20 thousand. provided that high-quality, expensive and new parts are purchased. A very noticeable difference.

Particularly advanced users recommend completely redoing negative wires on the frame and engine, because with active use they can simply burn out. In order to avoid this trouble, it is necessary to install thicker wires.

So that there is no load on the body lift button, it is recommended to install a high-quality solenoid that will act as a relay.

From hydraulic clutch body fixation depends, so you should change the spring to a weaker one. This solution will allow lifting up to two tons of net weight.

From the following article you can learn how to choose an electric cultivator for a summer residence.

Despite such high performance, you should not load more than 1.5 tons of cargo, because then a very high load on the body is formed and the car can last a noticeably shorter period.

A few words in conclusion

The experience of converting a GAZelle into a dump truck during a collective discussion is extremely interesting. Unfortunately, it is often very difficult to find like-minded people in your city, but there are a huge number of resources where people share their experiences, post photos, give each other advice and help.

We suggest watching a video that confirms that nothing is impossible and, if desired, a wonderful dump truck will turn out from a GAZelle:

Today we will visit the conveyor of Gorky car factory and see how the most popular commercial vehicle in Russia is assembled.

1. So that viewing pictures is not too boring, I will try to dilute my photo sequence a little digression in the past and present GAZ.

2. In January of this year, 83 years have passed since the founding Gorky Automobile Plant- the largest enterprise of the Russian automotive industry, which occupies a leading position in domestic market commercial transport.

3. The car plant was built in 18 months, went into operation on January 1, 1932, and on January 29 the first truck, the GAZ-AA lorry, rolled off the assembly line. Since then, the plant has given the country millions available cars, equipped Agriculture trucks, provided the military special equipment, tanks and armored personnel carriers. In October 2011, the 18 millionth car rolled off the assembly line of GAZ.

4. Like 83 years ago, the most mass car in the line of the automobile plant, it remains the same, one and a half. Successful combination load capacity and dimensions put it out of time. All upgrades and improvements do not change main point GAZelles.

5. And our tour, as usual, starts from the welding shop. It is here, on the assembly line of the welding shop, that you can already see the first outlines of the cabin, for the future small business bestseller.

6. A short video clip. You can see and hear the rhythm of the welding robots.

7. More than 120 industrial welding robots from the German company KUKA work on the conveyor.

8. The first GAZelle left the assembly line in 1994. We can say that thanks to the launch of the car in a series, in difficult conditions transition period, managed to maintain the staff and the production potential of the plant.

9. And it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was GAZelle that became one of those impulses that served as the beginning of the development of the entire economy of the country.

10. Work on the improvement and modernization of the GAZelle is ongoing. In order to improve the corrosion resistance of the body, the plant's engineers purchased fixed-route taxis who worked in St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod. The machines were disassembled to the last screw and sawn up and down.

11. The result of the work carried out was the introduction of two-sided galvanizing of forty-seven body parts. These details are clearly visible in the pictures of the unpainted cabin.

12. Let's return to the conveyor. Please note that the woman is holding a press with which she knocks out the VIN number on the cab of the car.

13. Happy owners, take a look at your PTS. Maybe this is the number stamped on your car?

14. At the same stage, a quality certificate is issued for the future car, which follows it to the end of the conveyor.

15. After each operation in the passport, a mark is placed on the shift and the area that performed the work on this vehicle.

16. Polishing, as the final touch, and the cabin leaves the welding shop.

17. We will also move to the main assembly line shop. First, let's see how the cabs are equipped with everything necessary.

18. In 2011, GAZelle received new panel appliances. There was even more space for storing personal belongings and pleasant little things in the form of cup holders, a cigarette lighter, an ashtray and an additional 12V socket.

19. Area for pasting windshields.

20. The operator applies adhesive to the windshield.

21. I do not have time to blink my eye, as the glass takes its original position.

22. Wipers fasten. By the way previous owners There were many complaints about the operation of this node. At GAZ, the wishes were taken into account and now BOCH motor reducers are installed on all cars.

23. In the “Lux” configuration, ABS, a proprietary CD MP3 audio system with steering wheel controls, power mirrors, a USB connector, air conditioning, and a starting heater are added to everything else.

24. Right there, in the neighborhood with assembly line there is a section of practical training. It should be noted that the average salary at GAZ, following the results of 2011, is approximately 24 thousand rubles. The car factory employs 25,000 people.

25. In the meantime, we come to the most interesting part of our excursion. The branch of the conveyor, on which constituent parts going together as a whole. Today, the GAZ-3302 - GAZelle Business is being assembled on the conveyor. Still bare frames, waiting for their turn on the conveyor.

26. One of the first parts installed on the frame will be the springs.

27. Two pneumatic cylinders, compress them to the size of the mounting holes, and the springs are on the base!

28. Front axle.

29. Rear axle.

30. Stepladders rear axle.

31. Rear axle stabilizer and shock absorbers. Since 2011, shock absorbers from Sachs have been installed on the GAZelle.

32. Also, since 2011, maintenance-free cardan shafts, the Turkish company Tirsan Kardan, FORD also puts products of this company on its cars.

33. Up to this point, the frame on the conveyor moved upside down. After installing the muffler and fuel tank it will flip around its own axis.

34. On the video you can see the moment of the frame overturn, further future car will move as it should.

36. Now they are installing on GAZelles, gasoline: UMZ - 4216-40 and diesel: MMZ D-245 and Cummins ISF (pictured).

37. Every two and a half minutes, a brand new GAZelle leaves the assembly line of the plant. Thus, it is not difficult to calculate how long each operation takes.

38. See how skillfully the worker installs the engine on the frame.

39. Perhaps my colleagues in the workshop will reproach me for the lack of portrait photographs, but by God, the rhythm of the GAZ conveyor did not allow me to distract the workers from their work even for a second.

40. Now on the conveyor, a car is serially installed gas equipment firm "OMVL" (Italy).

41. Also, from the upper tour, cabins sail.

42. Two minutes and the cabin is on the frame.

43. The rhythm of the conveyor is so high that sometimes I simply did not have time to follow the workers. But it was clear that with each of their movements on the car, new details appeared.

44. A radiator and headlights have already appeared.

45. The second floor of the assembly production is used solely for the purpose of transporting components and assemblies to the assembly point. From above, with the accuracy of a second hand, the wheels descend.

46. Another moment, and the wheels are already on the car.

47. Local gas station.

48. Each brand new car gets ten liters of fuel.

49. Bagels.

50. Installing the bumper. Perhaps the most noticeable difference between the Business series GAZelle and its predecessor. With its appearance, the visual perception of the car improved, and technological gaps were significantly reduced.

51. Body. Since 2011, the bodies have undergone 100% priming of the sides and base of the platform by cathodic electrodeposition.

52. Metal sleeve, with its help, in brake system A vacuum is created in the vehicle and brake fluid is supplied at the same time.

53. The car is on wheels. Now there will be the first start of the engine, then the car is moving on its own.

54. In an enclosed space, a run-in is taking place - a three-kilometer run.

55. A freshly assembled car arrived at the acceptance point of the quality department.

56. A department specialist conducts a final inspection, but that's not all.

57. At the end, the car will enter the chamber to check the body for leaks.

58. Cars ready for shipment to customers are waiting for car transporters.
