Manufacturing semi-trailers for gazelles

Description and scope of application

Without any special expenses, the Gazelle semi-trailer can be transformed into a truck tractor for transporting large or non-standard cargo in a short time. The increase in carrying capacity when attaching a trailer allows you to fix the category under the number N1, which means that the car can be used in urban environments.

Today, the gazelle semi-trailer (a combination of SAZ-9459 and GAZ-2409) does not have similar options. One can only call the GAZ-3302 similar in class. This machine has a platform extended to 4.32 meters and takes on board 1.32 tons.

Production of the series began fifteen years ago (in 2004). In city conditions there is always a lot of work for a gazelle (semi-trailer). Having a compact size, the machine can transport large loads: pipes, boards, fittings or channels.

In many areas of industry and construction, such machines are in demand. They meet environmental standards, are compact and have approvals from the traffic police for urban use.

The height of the semi-trailer does not even reach one meter (985 cm), which is important when performing loading and unloading operations. The model is so successful that there are no immediate competitors yet. After all, MAZ cars are too bulky for use in urban environments.

In the video the semi-trailer is 12 meters long.

Areas of application

Three-axle trailers are equipped with trucks of any tonnage, tractors and even cars. Depending on the design and installed equipment, they can work in different areas.

For trucks

Three-axle trailers for trucks, like semi-trailers, are capable of delivering heavy or oversized cargo. They are widely used in urban and intercity transportation, in agriculture and forestry as part of a road train with KamAZ trucks and tractors from other manufacturers.

Flatbed grain dump trucks are one of the most common examples of using three-axle trailers. They transport bulk cargo and can be used in intercity and intracity transportation. Side and tilt modifications are also often used.

Additional Information.
Unloading of bulk materials is not always carried out through the sides. There are self-unloading trailers with a sliding floor.

Another popular way of using trailed equipment with three axles is the manufacture of timber trucks, lashing trucks. They are used for transporting wood, pipes and other long cargo. Instead of sides, log carriers are equipped with a frame for fastening logs, lumber, reinforcing bars, etc.

Trailers on three axles for light trucks and commercial vehicles are most often used for transporting construction materials, equipment, road construction equipment, animals, food delivery and industrial goods. Their advantage is their high load capacity compared to two- and single-axle trailers. The main thing is that the tractor has enough power for comfortable transportation.

Caravans with awnings are usually used with GAZelles - they can be transformed into a closed or open side, depending on the needs of the carrier.

As for semi-trailers with three axles, the undisputed leader is the Euro truck. These versatile curtainsider semi-trailers are used in intercity and international cargo transportation of a large number of commercial and industrial products.

Manufacturers of trawls for transporting equipment also more often use three axles.

Additional Information.
Three-axle semi-trailers can be used to install mobile medical centers, offices or street stalls for outdoor trade.

For passenger cars

Three-axle trailers are produced not only for commercial vehicles. They are also used with personal cars for transporting boats and boats up to 8.5 meters long, and ATVs. A three-axle passenger trailer is a popular base for making a motor home.

Note!
A simple trailer for a car on three axles, necessary for transporting small loads, specific equipment or a vehicle, can be made with your own hands. The main thing is that the design meets all standards and is registered with the traffic police.

In beekeeping, a three-axle apiary trailer with a bee shelf frame, which is installed at the nectar collection site, can also be used to transport hives. The presence of more than one axle allows the trailer to stand stably without the use of additional fasteners - simply by securing the wheels to prevent rolling.

Main types and their technical characteristics

Today, the Gazelle with a semi-trailer has original technical characteristics that allow it to transport loads up to 6.45 meters in length. In this case, the weight is limited to 2.32 tons.

The brake block contains a hydraulic-vacuum booster. Moreover, the emphasis is on the vacuum circuit. This fact was the original “highlight” of the design, which is a combination of SAZ-9459 and GAZ-2409.

According to the same standards, the hitch is equipped with a two-line contact between the gazelle tractor and the semi-trailer. One of the mains controls, the other feeds.

The truck tractor named GAZ-2409 has the GAZ-3302 base. The JSK 3-2 saddle assembly, made in Germany, is mounted on it. This unit is capable of working with a variety of trailers, including:

tow truck;
tap;
special units for transporting livestock;
refrigerators;
vans (including isothermal).

In the photo there is Gazelle number 2409.

The GAZ-5601 engine is compactly located in the front of the car. The power plant of SAZ-9459 and GAZ-2409 is diesel. It is quite reliable and functional, has a turbocharger and pre-cooling of the incoming air.

Semi-trailer tires experience increased loads, the pressure in which reaches 4.85 kilograms per square centimeter; tractor tires have a pressure of 3.22 kg/cm2.

Onboard tilt platform

If we consider Gazelle semi-trailers with indexes 3302, 2409 or 3310, then they are differentiated into the following types:

Flatbed/tent platform;
Refrigerator;
Manufactured goods cart;
Isothermal van.

The awning can be removed, which makes it possible to transport bulky but not heavy loads. Load capacity is one and a half tons. Internal dimensions are 1.82 x 3 m. The volume reaches eight cubic meters (four pallets can fit). Total length 4.52 meters.

General description of three-axle trailers

A three-axle trailer, most often, is a welded metal platform with a towbar - a drawbar. All this is installed on three axles, hence the name - three-axle trailer.

The semi-trailer has a similar design. Unlike a trailer, it does not have a drawbar, and the coupling device is attached to the bottom of the extended front part for installation on the tractor.

The hitch to the truck can be fixed or rotary. All models are equipped with their own braking system: a working one with all-wheel drive and a parking one, which fixes only the rear pair.

The platform may have sides or a frame with a removable awning. Flatbed trailers and semi-trailers are usually equipped with additional tie-downs for transporting containers, timber, vehicles or industrial equipment.

The front axle of trailers is often made to rotate to increase maneuverability. The rear ones are located together. To reduce the specific pressure on the road when transporting heavy loads, twin pairs of wheels are installed on the axles of some models.

The axles of the semi-trailer are mainly located all together, at the rear. This allows you to distribute the load between the axles of the trailer and the tractor. In order to reduce the total cost of ownership, one of the outer axles can be lifting.

Three-axle trailers for cars, light commercial vehicles, as well as some heavy-duty models have a central location of all three axles. This makes them more maneuverable on the road.

Dump truck models are equipped with additional hydraulic mechanisms for lifting the body and a system for opening one or more sides.

Refrigerator

A refrigerated semi-trailer is essential for transporting various products at low temperatures:

The van semi-trailer can carry 1.52 tons of payload, internal dimensions are 1.82 x 3.2 meters. The useful volume of the cargo compartment varies from 9 to 10 cubic meters. The length of the semi-trailer can reach 4.52 meters.

Isothermal van

Loads transported in an insulated van:

There are two options for vans: framed and frameless. Moreover, the first one has an outer skin made of metal and plastic, which effectively prevents corrosion. The inside of the van is lined with sheet metal. The gaps are filled with PVC boards.

Refrigeration equipment is installed that can maintain temperatures down to minus 20 degrees (plus minus 5) Celsius. The length of the road train is: 3.6 meters, 5.1 or 6.2. The height and width are two meters.

Load capacity in kilograms: 4510, 4455 or 4442.

Useful volume in cubic meters:

GAZ-3309 vehicles are equipped with Cummins engines, which are produced in Yaroslavl and Minsk. Moreover, the power of the power plants also varies in terms of horsepower: 152.9, 125.8 or 134.6.

The machine is distinguished by its simplicity of design and reliability.

What is the difference between three-axle trailers and others?

The main difference of the design is its high load capacity without loss of maneuverability. Increasing the number of axles reduces the load on each of them and also reduces the pressure on the road surface. In addition, passenger cars are more stable compared to single- and two-axle ones.

At the same time, trailers on three axles can move on roads of any category. Adding more bridges - four, five, etc. – already affects maneuverability. And most of the cargo transported on public roads is not super heavy, and increasing the length of a road train is difficult due to regulatory restrictions. In addition, each additional axle costs both the cost of the trailer itself and its maintenance.

Series Next

A real breakthrough was the appearance on the market of light-duty trucks of the GAZelle family – Next. The series started production in 2013. The cars were improved on the basis of GAZelle-Business. They were equipped with a separate front suspension. It should be noted that the control is lever, and there is also a rack and pinion hydraulic booster.

The Gazelle Next type is distinguished by its stability and smooth ride. The frame is galvanized, the design contains durable plastic and stamping-welded equipment.

The cabin has become more spacious, the seat can be adjusted to suit the driver's figure. Vibration is reduced, visibility is expanded, and noise insulation is also improved.

The power plant is a Cummins turbodiesel. However, the latest models have gas and gasoline engines. EvoTech 2.7 motor engines are also installed, which comply with Euro 4. It is possible to modify to Euro 5 and 6.

Cooling is achieved through increased radiator airflow. There is a special element, namely the Webasto heater, which ensures the engine starts in any weather.

The model has dynamic stabilization (ESP) and traction control (ASR). If the customer wishes, additional airbags can be installed.

Technical specifications

Machine base: 5 635x2 069x2 138 mm;
Load capacity 1445 kg;
If the base is 6,708x2,069x2,139 mm, then the load capacity is 1,270 kg.

The fundamental difference: the working life is 150 thousand kilometers. A technical inspection can be done every 20 thousand kilometers. The manufacturer provides a two-year warranty.

A new GAZelle-3302 (semi-trailer 8.6 meters) can be purchased for 1,000,000 rubles;
An insulated van costs one and a half million rubles;
Refrigerators can be purchased from 2,500,000 rubles;
Prices for GAZelle-Next start at 750 thousand rubles.

If there are different engines, then the prices vary noticeably. For example, a truck tractor (GAZ-3302) with a semi-trailer and a gasoline engine (UMZ 4318) costs 1.1 million. With a diesel engine, such a model is estimated at one million rubles.

Trailer for Gazelle: which one to choose, design options

Good day to all! Today we are talking about a trailer for the Gazelle. This is a popular domestic car that has many modifications and corresponding purposes.

I can’t name specific trailers that will definitely suit you. This machine is too diverse to look for a universal solution for all occasions.

Therefore, I will try to consider in more detail the issue of choosing a tow hitch. A gazelle with a trailer significantly expands the vehicle’s cargo transportation capabilities. But here it is important to understand exactly what kind of trailer you need, for what purposes and what maximum cargo weight it is designed for.

Essentially, you have two options. Buy a trailer separately, which you will hook with your own hands to the towbar installed on the Gazelle. Or you can initially purchase a Gazelle Eurovan or another type, where the trailer is a structural part of the vehicle. Here we are already talking about cargo versions of this car.

Separate trailer

Now among new and used commercial vehicles, Gazelles dominate. This is understandable, since the machines are inexpensive and can easily handle the transportation of goods weighing at least 750 kg or more. The maximum weight is 2-3 tons. That is, buying yourself somewhere in Salsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and in Russia or Ukraine in general, a suitable version of a truck will not be difficult.

If you are going to buy a used version somewhere on Avito, be more careful with advertisements like “I’m selling a Gazelle truck in perfect condition.” This cannot happen because the car is used. The new Gazelle Next or Laborer (semi-trailer) are expensive, but the price is largely justified due to the warranty and service.

The following are usually used as a trailer on Gazelles:

Considering consumer reviews, it becomes clear that single-axle trailers are not particularly relevant for commercial vehicles such as the Gazelle.

Therefore, basically they are:

As a separate trailer with the ability to transport up to 750 kg, or a more impressive 3t vehicle, you can choose from a wide range of models. Here you need to look not only at their production, but also at the actual technical characteristics.

When choosing a separate trailer, you should pay attention to:

number of axles;
platform length;
load capacity;
open or closed design;
optional equipment;
purpose of the trailer.

If you initially have a cargo Gazelle, but you want to slightly increase its cargo transportation capabilities, then choose a separate trailer with a useful volume of about 6 cubic meters or 8 m3. Its carrying capacity is 1.5 tons.

To transport long cargo or larger volumes of goods, it is better to use two-axle trailer models with a capacity of 12 m3. The load capacity of the road train increases to 3 tons.

The most preferable for serious tasks facing the Gazelle is the three-axle version with increased load capacity. Only here you need to consider whether the car itself can pull such a road train.

Tent vs van

A van is a fully enclosed trailer. They are usually used as refrigerators on wheels, designed for transporting goods where complete protection from external factors is important.

For Gazelle, tent trailers are more often used, since they can be transformed into an open and closed side. The awning is not so reliable and does not have high protective functions.

Therefore, I cannot say unequivocally which options will be better for you. It all depends on what type of cargo you are transporting. The awning is universal, suitable for different tasks and loads. But you won’t be able to transport the same frozen products in them, since they require a special isothermal body and refrigeration equipment inside.

Taking into account all the nuances, the best option for a separate trailer for the Gazelle would be:

Trailer for GAZelle in Nizhny Novgorod - flatbed trailer for GAZ

From the GTS-trailer company you can buy a light trailer for a GAZelle in Nizhny Novgorod at a competitive price from the manufacturer. We have offers to solve any problem! Our trailed vehicles are the optimal solution for small and medium-sized businesses, as they satisfy all requests for volume and quality of transportation.

Using specialized transportation equipment from GTS-trailer, you can:

maintain the quality of supplied products;
increase transport capacity.

Some examples of what we can offer you

For example, you transport products that require special conditions during transportation. To ensure the safety of such products, we can offer an isothermal trailer for any GAZelle model. It maintains the initially set temperature inside, reliably insulating the cargo from the heat/frost outside. Our offerings also include certified production and sale of trailers for delivering bread products to stores.

But what if you need to deliver very “capricious” perishable products - for example, milk, meat? For these purposes, we can make a special trailer for the GAZelle - a refrigerator. Throughout the journey, it will maintain a sufficiently low temperature to prevent spoilage of the product, even during long-term transportation.

Cargo Gazelles

Not always, having at your disposal a full-fledged cargo version of the Gazelle, there is a need to also buy trailers produced by Kupava or Istok trailers.

You can initially take a commercial vehicle that will satisfy your needs in terms of load capacity and cargo capacity

th compartment. If this is not enough, then there is reason to think about a separate additional trailed vehicle for the Gazelle. I talked about them above.

I propose to get acquainted with the cargo modifications of this most popular domestically produced commercial vehicle. There are several of them. They all have their own distinctive features and characteristics.

Gazelle Tent is considered the most common, popular and simple cargo variation of this vehicle.

On a metal body there is a frame made of wood and metal. An awning made of special material is stretched over it. The capacity of such a Gazelle is about 8 cubic meters.

The awning is suitable for various types of cargo, except for perishable goods that need to be transported over long distances.

Although some motorists note that it is better to take a separate trailer instead of such a Gazelle. But this depends on the specific situation and needs of the driver.

Onboard

Not much different from the previous version. Only here the frame and awning are missing from the factory.

They were removed to facilitate top loading and remove any restrictions on the height of the transported cargo.

A significant drawback is the lack of protection from external factors. But if desired, the frame can be completed and the awning can be stretched. Although then the main advantage disappears.

Extended

This is a standard tented Gazelle, but with increased parameters for the height and length of the frame. This modernization significantly increases the size of the cargo that can enter the cargo compartment of the vehicle.

As a result, the total volume increases to 12 cubic meters. The length of the body itself is 4 meters. And these are completely new possibilities for cargo transportation.

Van

Or Gazelle Eurovan. The essence does not change from the name.

An option for those for whom a regular awning is not suitable and requires more reliable protection. The van does not leak, cut or break.

Vans are made from plastic, iron and plywood. It may have a thermal installation, refrigeration equipment, and thermal insulation walls.

Loading is carried out through swing doors.

Semitrailer

A good alternative to huge trucks. This is a Gazelle with the most impressive cargo transportation capabilities.

I would like to note right away that this version should be purchased for those cases when you need to transport cargo in large volumes, but of low weight. However, do not forget about the load capacity restrictions.

When necessary, the semi-trailer is removed, leaving only the driver's cabin with 1-4 passenger seats. Convenient commercial solution.

A gazelle with 2 trailers (its own and an additional one) allows you to transport a large amount of goods. But think carefully before making your final decision. Sometimes just one thing is enough. What exactly is up to you to decide.

Production and installation of trailers, vans and flatbeds

Closed joint stock company "Istok" was founded in 1992. Since 1994, the main activity has been the production and sale of car vans and flatbed bodies. In 1997, the company was assigned the international vehicle manufacturer code (WMI) - X89. Currently, a successful line of business is the production of van trailers.

Over the period since its founding, the company has accumulated extensive experience in the field of manufacturing vans, created a material base for production and assembled a stable team of professionals capable of solving not only current problems, but also introducing new technologies for the manufacture of superstructures for various purposes.

We have developed a large range of vans for various car chassis, both imported: “Isuzu”, “Nissan”, “Volkswagen”, “Ford”, “Hyundai”, “Fiat”, “DAF”, and domestically produced: “GAZelle”, “ KAMAZ." The design of our vans differs both in purpose - manufactured goods van, isothermal van, refrigerator van, flatbed platform - and in the manufacturing technology - frame van technology, sandwich van technology. The vans produced by our company can be equipped with various options, such as: refrigeration refrigeration unit - in this case, a “Refrigerated van” entry is made in the vehicle’s title for legal registration of the vehicle, tail lift - we professionally install German and Dhollandia hydraulic lifts on any trucks and vans.

A new promising direction is the production of van trailers, both for light trucks with a gross weight of up to 3500 kg, and trailers for passenger vehicles with a gross weight of 750 kg. Van trailers are manufactured using “sandwich” technology, which makes it possible to obtain lightweight and durable vans with high isothermal properties.

Our van trailers are in great demand both among businessmen who want to increase the profitability of their transportation and the amount of transported cargo by using trailers for commercial vehicles, as well as among lovers of outdoor activities, fishing and hunting with the ability to transport snowmobiles, ATVs and motorcycles in trailers.

We closely cooperate with foreign companies, Nissan, Volkswagen, Ford, Hyundai, Fiat. Our vans and trailers are made from components from such well-known companies as Optiplan, Styrofoam, MRF, Pastore & Lombardi, Versus, Zanotti SpA, BPV, Hestal, Agatspetskomplekt, Agrisovgaz, Sveza.

Vans and van trailers manufactured using sandwich technologies were presented at the international exhibitions Comtrans 2010, Comtrans 2011, Avtotrans 2012, Comtrans 2013, Avtotrans 2014, Comtrans 2015 and were highly praised by specialists.

Currently, Istok CJSC products are certified to work with chassis manufacturers such as Hyundai, Volkswagen, Nissan, Avia, KAMAZ, MAN, Ford, Fiat, and includes vehicle categories N1, N2, N3. The company’s long-term plans include product certification and installation of vans on the following chassis: “Hino”, “Iveco”, “DAF”. The production, products and services of the enterprise are certified in the GOSSTANDART certification system of Russia.

Device and technical characteristics

To create a truck tractor, a standard chassis assembled at the GAZ plant is used. The machines use 4-cylinder engines running on gasoline or diesel fuel. Diesel power units are equipped with turbochargers with increased performance. To drive the trailer's brake mechanisms, a connection to the standard hydraulic system of the tractor is used. If the lines break, the semi-trailer automatically slows down.

The fifth wheel assembly is mounted above the rear axle. The vehicle was supplied with a SAZ-9459 semi-trailer with a loading length of 6368 mm. The delivery set included steel arches and an awning. The permissible load capacity is 2300 kg. The total weight of the road train reaches 5300 kg, so driving requires a category C driver's license. The vehicles were assembled in single copies according to special orders.

Parameters of the vehicle with trailer:

tractor wheelbase - 2900 mm;
engine power - 106 hp;
fuel consumption - up to 20 liters per 100 km;
saddle height - 1040 mm.

Due to low demand, the assembly of truck tractors based on the GAZelle Next truck is not carried out. Based on Valdai cars, a truck tractor with a sleeping bag was created, which was installed instead of the standard rear wall of the cab. The modification, built on the basis of the GAZ-33104, is assembled by the Chaika-Service enterprise. The frame chassis remains unchanged; the fifth wheel assembly is mounted on the cross members. The increased strength of the chassis made it possible to increase the load capacity of the road train several times.

For braking, a pneumatic drive is used, additionally equipped with an anti-lock braking system. Flexible hoses located behind the vehicle cab are used to connect the brakes of the tractor and semi-trailer. The machine is designed to work with a semi-trailer having a length of 11000 mm. On separate orders, a version of the trailer shortened to 7440 mm is available.

length - 15230 mm;
width (including mirrors) - 2510 mm;
height (with awning) - 3300 mm;
load capacity - 7500 kg;
curb weight - 3545 kg;
capacity of a semi-trailer covered with an awning - 82.5 m³;
engine type - diesel Cummins ISF with turbocharger;
power plant power - 152 hp;
Fuel consumption (according to manufacturer's measurements) - 18 liters per 100 km.

The side walls are made of several elements equipped with individual locking units. Aluminum is used to make the sides, which reduces the weight of the structure. The semi-trailer is equipped with points for installing arches used for mounting a tarpaulin awning. The height of the cargo compartment is 2200 mm. A folding side or swing 2-leaf gate is installed at the rear. It is possible to use a sliding roof over the cargo compartment (optional).

The sleeping compartment has 2 places, which allows the road train to be used for intercity transportation. At the request of the customer, the tractor retains a standard metal cabin designed for 3 people. There are modifications equipped with a 1-person sleeping compartment on the lid. Access is through a side hatch or through a hatch in the cabin roof.

Prices and car analogues

There are no new GAZelle truck tractors for sale; on the secondary market the cost is about 850 thousand rubles. Vehicles based on Valdai are assembled by the plant to order, the cost starts from 2.7 million rubles. Used copies are offered at prices starting from 530 thousand rubles.

The car's analogues are trucks assembled by manufacturers from Europe. These include the Iveco Dayli 70C15, designed to work with a 2-axle semi-trailer with a load capacity of 8000 kg. The disadvantage of imported cars is the price, which is several times higher than the cost of GAZ products.
