The Kama Automobile Plant has many interesting developments. However, "Arctic" surpassed everyone. This giant does not need a warm climate, careful handling or roads. It can cope with any obstacles and easily transport cargo to hard-to-reach and sometimes very dangerous places.

General information about KamAZ all-terrain vehicles

The need for off-road vehicles is great. In our country, the initiator of the production of such equipment is the army and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Departments more often than others are faced with the need to force impregnable barriers; it is not surprising that the first copies of the machines are tested by employees of these institutions. Later, when the shortcomings are eliminated, the cars are modified and used for civilian needs.

Unified army equipment is a strategic product, so several enterprises are involved in design and production. Factories in Miass and Naberezhnye Chelny are leaders in this area. However, the range and number of KamAZ models is superior to its closest competitor, and product quality is also in favor of the manufacturer.

Today, the production of all-terrain vehicles has been launched, which are used for military and domestic purposes with 2, 3, 4 axles, with a wheelbase of “four by four”, 6x6, “eight by eight”.

Products in demand:

• KamAZ all-terrain vehicle 4x4: 4326;
• All-terrain vehicle (6 by 6): 43118 (basic modification), 43(10, 114) 44108, 65(225, 222, 221, 111), “Arctic”;
• All-terrain vehicle (8 by 8): 6560, 63501, 65228.

The range of KamAZ equipment produced is not limited to the products listed above. The plant in Naberezhnye Chelny also makes other modifications with all-wheel drive and increased cross-country ability, but these models are simply not positioned as all-terrain vehicles.

Advantages of KamAZ all-terrain vehicle with a manipulator

1. Ideal for working in the conditions of the Moscow region (low level of amenities, harsh weather, large distance of objects from each other).
2. Allows you to fulfill planned obligations in rain and snow, ensuring compliance with deadlines (installation work, delivery and unloading of materials in any weather).
3. Excellent for transporting trees, bushes, as well as planting plants in nurseries, artificial groves, and private areas.
4. Allows you to forget about any problems with roads (the all-terrain vehicle will find detours and drive along the only possible route, even if it passes through areas with unstable soil).
5. Has no seasonal restrictions. You can rent a KamAZ all-terrain vehicle manipulator in autumn, winter or even early spring, ensuring uninterrupted supplies of materials all year round

Available types of work:

KamAZ 43118 with a CMU is a manipulator capable of driving anywhere and unloading anything (subject to the maximum permissible weight).
It can be used for transporting industrial equipment (most Moscow enterprises are located just outside the city) and its subsequent installation. A long boom will allow you to lift equipment to the upper floors. All-wheel drive self-loaders are widely in demand in the field of mid-rise and low-rise construction. They take part in the construction of the foundation, installation of concrete and metal structures, sewerage systems, and water supply. They act as the main transport unit, capable of bringing materials and equipment to a country site.

A board with a length of more than 6 meters can easily accommodate logs, boards, finished log elements, pipes, angles, channels, and metal profiles. The high load capacity allows you to load the truck with bricks, paving stones, cement, curbs, stone and concrete curbs, and other materials placed in bags, on pallets, or in bundles. At the same time, the all-terrain manipulator, the rental price of which is practically no different from mono-drive models, will be able to drive onto an unprepared site. With its help you will install concrete rings, install pipes, assemble the frame of a house, etc.

KamAZ-4326

The KamAZ-4326 all-wheel drive vehicle was developed by order of the Ministry of Defense. The vehicle is equipped with two axles, a 4x4 wheel arrangement is used, and the vehicle is used to travel over rough terrain. The all-terrain vehicle transports military personnel, overcomes obstacles, and creates routes in the forest.

KamAZ-4326 has found a purpose in the peaceful sphere. On the basis of the model, several modifications are produced, equipped as: hospital, emergency service, KamAZ on-board all-terrain vehicle, etc. These and similar modifications of the base are mobile and characterized by high maneuverability. Transport has proven itself in areas without road surfaces, during river floods, abnormal weather, etc.

Military KamAZ-4326:

Cabin of KamAZ-Arctic

The all-terrain vehicle is equipped with an F1T cab (extended with a low roof and a low engine tunnel, there is one berth). It is fixed to the frame on four silent blocks. The cabin is installed high. You can climb into it using six steps; handrails on both sides do not seem like a design excess.

At the driver's workplace there is no need to manipulate the control levers of the all-wheel drive transmission. Everything is as simplified as possible - just right for poking your fingers in a mitten. Under the driver’s right hand there is a compact and convenient “bedside table” with an Allison automatic transmission selector.

In general, the instrument panel in the cockpit is familiar from KamAZ. There is a cozy single “sleeping room” - near the back wall. And right above the driver’s head there is a standard multimedia unit, which even includes a tachograph.

As befits any other modern truck, the KamAZ-Arctic cab is already standardly equipped with air conditioning and an autonomous heater. After all, you need to take into account not only the severe winter frosts, but also the heat of the northern summer, its mosquitoes and midges, from which you definitely have to reliably isolate yourself.

Why should you choose a KamAZ all-terrain vehicle with a manipulator?

The Gruzovozmsk.ru vehicle fleet includes vehicles with hydraulic units of various carrying capacities. Each model has its own set of technical characteristics that determine the relevance of using special equipment to perform specific tasks. If ISUZU FORWARD is more suitable for providing services on narrow streets, then KAMAZ 65115 will be able to cover the needs of a large Moscow construction site. In both cases, the equipment will have standard cross-country ability, which limits it in performing “out-of-town” work. Where a highway vehicle gets stuck and requires help, an all-terrain vehicle with a hydraulic steering gear will be able to fully perform the tasks assigned to it.

The all-terrain vehicle-based manipulator is equipped with a cable installation. The telescopic system (6-stage) is not afraid of frost, rain, snowfall, has a length of 19 meters, a load capacity (7 tons) and has the ability to use a manipulator with a cradle. In this form, it can successfully carry out road construction and electrical installation work without noticing off-road conditions, an uncleared road or a sandy embankment under its wheels.

Performance indicators of KamAZ-43118

The car is used in off-road conditions, all-wheel drive, approach angles, gearbox with low gears - these indicators help to overcome obstacles. The machine is equipped with a tire pressure adjustment function that functions while driving. The indicator makes work easier, making six wheels suitable for work even if there is a puncture. The transfer case is capable of locking differentials between axles, helping to overcome difficult obstacles.

This is an engine with a power of 400 horsepower (294 kW), achieved at 1900 rpm; maximum torque of 1765 N.m, achieved at 1300 rpm; with custom aluminum heads, turbocharging, ONV, electronic control and Common Rail type fuel supply systems. The displacement of this eight-cylinder engine is 11.76 liters. The cylinder diameter is 120 mm, the piston stroke is 130 mm. The compression ratio is 18 to 1. Overall dimensions are 1212 × 908 × 1050 mm. The engine weight is 885 kg.

The four-axle KamAZ-6355 is equipped with a promising six-cylinder in-line power plant KamAZ R6 910.12, which develops power of 450 horsepower (331 kW) at 1900 rpm. The maximum engine torque is 2059 Nm and is achieved at a speed of 1300 rpm.

This new KamAZ engine, launched in 2022, was developed and made on the basis of the 12-liter Liebherr D946 diesel engine, which was initially used only in construction equipment, not in cars.

The KamAZ R6 910.12 engine is similar to many other European in-line diesel engines for heavy trucks: it has a cast iron block, wet liners; the camshaft is located in the block; the valves are driven by rods; gears of the gas distribution mechanism and pumps - from the flywheel side. The exact displacement of this engine is 11.946 liters, cylinder diameter 130 mm / piston stroke 160 mm. That is, the Kama Automobile Plant here moved away from its usual piston diameter of 120 mm.

The KamAZ R6 910.12 diesel engine is equipped with a single-stage turbocharging, ONV, electronic control of the Common Rail fuel system, a battery-type fuel supply system, and on-board diagnostics. The compression ratio is 17.5 to 1. Engine overall dimensions: 1373 × 927 × 1156 mm (length / width / height). The net weight of the KamAZ P6 910.12 diesel engine is 1140 kg.

The engine compartments of these vehicles are equipped with the option of electric engine heating, as well as liquid heaters.

Also, the Arctic adaptation of diesel engines required the use of frost-resistant rubber goods that can withstand down to –80 °C, concentrated antifreeze, synthetic oils and lubricants; as well as installation of fuel filters with additional electric heating. The engine crankcase is equipped with powerful protection from the bottom in the form of a sump, reinforced with strong protective arches.

The clutch used is a friction, disk, dry type, model MFZ 430.

The three-axle KamAZ-6345 6x6 is equipped with a 16-speed manual transmission model ZF 16 S1822.

KamAZ-Arctic 8x8 is equipped with a six-speed automatic gearbox from Allison - model Allison 4500 - with electronic control using a CAN bus.

The torque is distributed by a two-stage transfer case KamAZ-633-1800020 with reduction gear, pneumatic control and a locking center differential.

27.5% of the rated engine power is transmitted to the front wheels of KamAZ-Arctic, and 72.5 percent to the rear wheels. The vehicle uses original KamAZ-6355 drive axles with triple gears and wheel reducers, the gear ratio of the main pair is 15.239.

KamAZ-65225

KamAZ 65225 is a heavy-duty tractor, the technical characteristics of which are famous for their reliability, and the 6x6 wheelbase makes the all-terrain vehicle passable and maneuverable. The tractor coupling device has three levels of freedom, the unit is located at a height of 1.8-1.9 meters. The load applied to the coupling device is 22,000 kilograms, the weight of the road train is 38 tons.

Thanks to its characteristics, the machine is used in conditions where there are no roads. The machine is in demand for operation as a timber carrier, pipe carrier, construction tug. The advantage is that KamAZ operates in severe frost and is equipped with ABS and heating in the cab. In addition, when working with a road train, additional lights are installed on the equipment, the tanks are protected from holes, and the engine is protected from water and moisture.

Characteristics of the all-terrain vehicle-65225:

Residential module (KAMAZ-6345) or utility unit and CMU (KAMAZ-6355) behind the cabin

Another important feature of this machine is the presence of a developed residential module - a full-fledged living space in which you can live autonomously in comfort, despite the harshest climatic conditions, for at least three days.

The equipment of the residential module includes sleeping places, washbasin, shower and toilet, boiler heater, water supply, microwave oven, hob, refrigerator, TV, satellite phone, electricity generator, a large number of built-in drawers and shelves. As an additional option, the KamAZ-6345 residential module provides for the installation of air conditioners. That is, workers on board can completely isolate themselves from mosquitoes, midges and midges.

The living module is located between the cab and the truck body. It does not connect directly to the driver's cabin, but has an intercom station with it. If necessary, the residential module can be completely removed from the vehicle using a crane.

The vehicle itself runs on diesel fuel, and the electric generator of the residential module runs on gasoline. Therefore, you need to carry both types of fuel with you. However, in the future it is possible to use a diesel electric generator instead of a gasoline one.

In the second, four-axle 8x8 version of the KamAZ-Arctic all-terrain vehicle, there is no autonomous living module. Its place behind the cabin was taken by a spare wheel, an Inman IM77 crane-manipulator unit produced by the Ishimbay Crane Plant and a utility unit for placing various tools and accessories.

The utility unit (like the KamAZ-6345 residential module) is equipped with a three-section folding ladder and a retractable mechanism to provide access to all its contents. The Inman IM77 crane-manipulator unit is mounted in front of the body compartment, with its help you can load the car or change a wheel. The maximum load capacity of this installation is 3000 kg. At maximum boom reach (6.8 m), the load capacity is 1100 kg. The car body is standard, with folding sides.

KamAZ-63501

The vehicle “63501” is an all-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle with an 8x8 wheelbase. An additional axle increases the vehicle's load-carrying capacity, but the vehicle's maneuverability decreases. The machine is rarely used to solve routine tasks; its main application is in the military and special fields. The following equipment is installed on the chassis: missiles, drilling equipment, command posts, etc. The use of the vehicle is directly related to the lack of a way to transport the cargo in parts. In addition, the additional axle increases the vehicle's traction force, which provides an additional advantage.

Modification of KamAZ-63501, the main equipment of the Kama plant, on which four axles are installed. Truck weighing 10 tons, carrying capacity 16 tons. This is the only all-terrain vehicle capable of transporting drilling rigs and construction equipment in off-road conditions.

All-wheel drive manipulator: rent for a shift

An all-terrain vehicle with a manipulator is a truck with a carrying capacity of 10 tons.
The length of the body is 6.2 m, allowing the transport of pipes, metal structures, sheet materials, roofing elements, drainage systems, facades, pallets with building materials. The all-wheel drive chassis makes it one of the most “passable” in its class, and the telescopic CMU system allows you to comfortably work at any boom length, providing the operator with a clear and instant response. Technical advantages were directly reflected in the purchase price of the manipulator based on the KamAZ all-terrain vehicle. This type of technology is not cheap. For most companies from Moscow and the region, it is easier and more profitable to use hired transport services. At the same time, the shift rental of a manipulator with a driver is especially attractive. In this case you get:

• a technically sound, expensive all-terrain vehicle with an experienced driver without financial risks;
• a package of documents for processing tax deductions (VAT) - for individual entrepreneurs and legal entities;
• universal special equipment for transportation, unloading, loading, moving, installation, repair, delivery, construction and many other types of work;
• Possibility of operation in harsh weather conditions, on any type of soil and in any condition of roads/access roads.

Shift rental of an all-terrain vehicle with a CMU has a number of undeniable advantages; it will work where other manipulators cannot budge. It will not need to be pulled out of snowdrifts, mud holes and deep ruts. If necessary, he will drive to the object across the field and go around the obstacle along the side of the road. He is not afraid of steep slopes, potholes and elevation changes. This is a multifunctional technique that can work in a metropolis and far beyond its borders.

Special purpose vehicles

The Kama Automobile Plant produces special-purpose vehicles. A characteristic feature of the equipment is a small circulation, due to the narrow focus of the tasks performed.

KamAZ – 4326 “Master”:

For example, such a product is the sports modification “4326-9” (“Master”), intended for participation in the Dakar race. The car is equipped with a power plant with a volume of 18.4 liters, a power of 625 horses, as well as a 700 horse engine with cooling and the ability to run on diesel fuel with the addition of methane. The main advantage of the car is overcoming off-road conditions at speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour.

Another representative of special equipment is the Arktika vehicle, which operates in northern conditions. The purpose of creating the machine is the development and exploration of the Arctic zone. This is a vehicle with all-wheel drive and a 6x6 wheel arrangement. The car is equipped with a V8 power plant with a turbine and a manual gearbox. The design feature is an articulated frame, which breaks when overcoming heavy areas, wetlands, or snow cover with a loose surface. The car is equipped with a passenger compartment, which is used for living in harsh climatic conditions; the cabin contains: air conditioning, toilet, shower, etc.

Frame, suspension, chassis KamAZ-6345 / 6355

The key feature of the KamAZ-Arctic all-terrain vehicle was the articulated frame, which is not typical for trucks from the Kama Automobile Plant: like that of the Kirovets tractor. Such a truck turns not due to the rotation of the wheels, but with the help of a “breaking” frame. This decision was caused by the dimensions of the wheels: on this all-terrain vehicle they are made very wide, simply not providing enough resource for a full turn.

The frame articulation unit is equipped with two sheet box-shaped structures, which are connected by two ball-type hinges. Rotation around the axis is carried out using hydraulic cylinders. The maximum folding angle is 45 degrees.

The articulated frame is movable in the horizontal plane and provides a minimum turning radius. The articulation unit is unified for different wheel formulas. Since the specific operation of the car does not provide for difficult, rough terrain, the designers considered that if there was a lack of traction properties, an inter-wheel lock would be sufficient. In general, an articulation unit with one degree of freedom is more reliable. In this form (but only with an extended front section), the design was transferred to the 8x8 version.

With the help of special wide tires, which constitute an important characteristic feature of the KamAZ-Arctic, excellent cross-country ability of the vehicle is achieved in extreme climatic conditions and on unstable soils. In wetlands, in the tundra, on firn snows. Tires for this all-terrain vehicle are available in two sizes: in the “Overall” version they have a width of 700 mm, and in the “Oversized” type they have a width of over 1000 mm. To install wide oversized tires on wheels, special fender flares are used.

Front suspension

The first version of standard tires Nortec TA-01 710/70 R38 (manufactured by the Altai Tire Plant) allows the truck to fit within the dimensional parameters provided for by the Road Traffic Regulations and move on public roads. The second is designed for traveling on soils with low bearing capacity.

The outer diameter of the first tire version is 1960 mm, and their exact width is 716 mm. The maximum load on the tire reaches 5.3 tons, and the internal air pressure in it is no more than 160 kPa (1.63 kgf/cm2). With such indicators, it is possible to provide a maximum speed of 60 km/h and a ground pressure of 140 kPa (1.43 kgf/cm2). The mass of the wheel assembly is 526 kilograms.

The 2nd version of the wheel propeller (oversized type) is distinguished by a slightly smaller outer diameter of the wide-profile tire - 1650 mm, but the width is increased to 1050 mm. Thanks to the specific pressure reduced to 113 kPa (1.15 kgf/cm2), better maneuverability on a deformable supporting surface is achieved, however, there are dimensional restrictions for driving on general roads. One oversized tire weighs 388 kilograms.

The exhibition four-axle KamAZ-Arktika in the “oversize” version was equipped with Chinese Henan tubeless tires with dimensions 66x43.00-25.

With a length of 12 m, the frame folding angle of 45° provides a turning diameter of 32 meters.

Rear suspension

The following technical solutions were chosen in the suspension design. The front suspension of this vehicle is made of springs - it is based on the rear suspension of the KamAZ-5460 and the rear axle from the KamAZ-6520 truck. The shock absorbers and stabilizer are taken from the KamAZ-65225 suspension.

The rear suspension is of the balancing type. The bridges are three-stage, with a gear ratio of 15. These are special low-speed bridges developed specifically for KamAZ-Arctic.

A winch with a traction force of 2.5 tons is mounted at the rear, which will be quite enough to perform all kinds of rescue tasks.
