Finding out the body size on a Gazelle car

There are many parameters that a person who decides to buy a truck should pay attention to. This includes both engine power and fuel consumption. An important factor in the choice is the overall dimensions of the body.

The characteristics of the body are very important for a cargo vehicle, since the efficiency of the vehicle in solving the tasks assigned to it depends on them. Therefore, you should find out about the size of this part of the car in advance.

In our country, trucks manufactured by GAZ are especially popular. There are quite a lot of models, so the body size of the Gazelle and its various variations can vary significantly.

Therefore, you need to understand perfectly how the standard Gazelle differs in this characteristic from other models available today.

Body characteristics of the “Business” model

Gazelle Business became available to everyone starting in 2010. Its main features:

• Triple cabin. That is, in addition to the driver, Gazelle 3302 also allows you to transport two more passengers;
• The model's carrying capacity is one and a half tons;
• The package initially includes an awning.

Body characteristics are as follows:

• With a total length of the vehicle of 5.48 meters, the body accounts for exactly three meters. This is a kind of standard;
• Width – 1.9 meters;
• The minimum height inside the tent is 1.57 m.

The machine has small metal sides that can be easily lowered; the awning cover can last at least ten years. It copes well with protection from moisture and has excellent frost resistance. The total volume of the working space is nine cubic meters.

The main problems of gazelle Next

1. In most cases, the problem with car repair is the engine. Let's look at the main disadvantages of the Cummins engine:

• The presence of valve adjustment instead of hydraulic compensators, an oil cooling system and the presence of an exhaust gas recirculation system together create big problems that significantly reduce the engine’s lifespan;
• For a sports car this is a plus. For the serial version this is an additional complication. To adjust the valves, the head cover is removed, for which the fuel equipment is disassembled. Drivers do not want to deal with this complex process. And if you do not monitor the gaps, they will increase over time;
• This is scary because the valve begins to open later and close earlier, the thermal load on the engine increases, and its efficiency becomes less. Next, there is a loss of power, which, due to the variable geometry turbine, is unnoticeable for a long time, and the driver will be able to feel this only when the system completely leaves its operating range;
• As a result, local overheating of parts occurs, which violates their safety margin. The oil film in the piston system is destroyed, resulting in dry friction. As a result, wear appears in the cylinder, the ring is cut off, and the engine fails without even completing a tenth of its service life. And repairing such a breakdown is very problematic. The turbine also breaks down according to the same pattern;
• For these reasons, in order for the engine to operate for a long time and reliably, it is necessary not to be lazy to adjust the valve clearance every 10,000 km. Otherwise, you can’t count on long-term engine operation.

1. The second most important failure is the gearbox, which fails when shifting to second gear. For this reason, some people change the gearbox from a foreign NISSAN car;
2. The corrosion of the cabin deserves criticism from users due to the poor stability of the paintwork.

Similar indicators for the Farmer model

The Farmer model differs from the previous version, first of all, in its cabin, which is double. It is also onboard and equipped with an awning. Naturally, the body dimensions are somewhat different:

• Length – 2.34 m;
• The width is the same as in the “Business” variation;
• Height - from 1.57 at the lowest point to 2.57 at the top.

The useful volume of this machine is 4.5 cubic meters. This option is very popular in the agricultural sector, where it is necessary to simultaneously provide not only the transportation of goods, but also an increased number of passengers.

Extended Truck Parameters

The extended Gazelle uses the base from the GAZ-3302. But manufacturers were able to significantly increase the usable space of this vehicle. Now you can purchase two options for this configuration:

• With a platform length of 4.2 meters;
• And in an enlarged version, up to 5.1 m.

That is, the minimum available volume that the owner has at his disposal is fifteen cubic meters. These are already very serious indicators, allowing for the transportation of quite large loads at a time.

Modification "Van"

The all-metal Gazelle, known as the Van, is designed for transporting goods that require more reliable protection than can be provided by a tent covering. For example, it is actively used by furniture companies and organizations that supply food products within the same city or at a short distance from it.

The basis of the model is the GAZ-2705 base. Today the manufacturer offers several variations of this model range:

• Cargo-passenger. With a cabin for seven people;
• Cargo - with a standard cab.

Naturally, the parameters of the cargo part of the vehicle are somewhat different. The width is the same - 2.975 m. Height - 1.84. Booths vary in this indicator, so it may vary. Length – 2.98 for cargo and 1.97 for cargo-passenger version.

As a result, the following difference in useful volume is obtained: minimum 6.0, maximum 9.0 cubic meters. The carrying capacity also differs: the cargo configuration is capable of transporting up to 1.35 tons of cargo, its alternative is up to 950 kilograms.

The main disadvantages of cargo transportation on Gazelle

Despite all the advantages, using Gazelle is not always appropriate. Firstly, if we are talking about a heavy load, then the Gazelle immediately disappears here, since the car is simply not designed to weigh more than one and a half tons. Secondly, if a large cargo is nevertheless placed in the body, then there is a high probability that during a long trip on a poor-quality road surface, which is not at all uncommon, the cargo may be damaged due to the inability of the springs to operate in the specified mode. Accordingly, the Gazelle is more appropriate for transporting goods during apartment and office moves, food delivery, transportation of light construction materials, etc.

Indicators for the Next model

Next is a model range of domestic cars that has been on sale since 2013. The main distinguishing feature is the rethinking of the entire cabin of such vehicles, which has become much more modern, more technologically advanced and more convenient for the driver and his passengers. Next parameters are as follows:

• Onboard base model: length/maximum height of the awning/width – 3.089/1.8/1.978;
• Extended options with indicators of 4.2 and 5.0 meters;
• Choosing the Farmer Next option allows you to get a double cab, but a shorter body length - 2.4 m.

Dimensions of the Gazelle Business tilt body

In the “Business” modification, the first generation Gazelles have been produced since 2010, the GAZ-3302 board has a load capacity of 1.5 tons, the car is equipped with a PVC fabric awning. Body dimensions of the Gazelle awning:

• length – three meters (total length of the car – 5.48 m);
• width – 1.9 meters.

The height from the base to the top of the awning is 2.57 meters, from the body base to the top - 1.57 m. The sides themselves have a height of 0.38 m, the total length of the Gazelle side is 5.44 m.

The GAZ-3302 awning has high strength and durability; its service life during normal operation is at least 10 years. The material is waterproof, frost-resistant, and can withstand temperatures from -35 to +70 degrees Celsius.

The volume of the body with an awning is nine cubic meters, here you can transport:

• building materials;
• timber;
• equipment and machines;
• things when moving from one apartment to another;
• rolled metal;
• furniture.

The GAZ-3302 has a three-seater cabin (designed for two passengers and a driver), the car is ideal for transporting small volumes of cargo, the low height of the platform allows for convenient loading and unloading. The rear and side sides of the car are folding and made of metal.

Average cost of freight transportation

The amount of payment for cargo transportation in most cases is determined individually and depends on a number of factors. This is the distance, route, type of transport, characteristics of the cargo itself (fragile, dangerous, etc.), volumes, as well as the cost of the goods itself. In addition, the price may also include additional factors, such as loading and unloading services, renting a Gazelle without a driver, accompanying the car with another vehicle, issuing the necessary documentation, collection, cargo insurance, etc.

The tariff can be calculated directly from the organization that offers cargo transportation services. Some companies post such information on their official websites or through advertisements. Depending on the type of cargo transportation, transportation of goods around the city is usually paid in the amount of 300-500 rubles per hour. Small discounts may be available in the evening and at night. Intercity transportation in most cases is calculated based on distance. On average, the cost is about 12-20 rubles for each kilometer traveled. Penalties in case of refusal, overloading of the vehicle, as well as driver assistance in loading or unloading goods may be paid separately. The figures given correspond to renting a car with a regular body. If the dimensions of the Gazelle are changed or modified under any special conditions, then you can safely add 5-10 rubles to each amount. Gazelle NEXT is the best option for small-sized cargo transportation over different distances. The vehicle is compact, mobile and easy to use. The car allows you to transport different types of cargo up to one and a half tons, while saving money on paying for empty seats in larger vehicles.

Body dimensions of Gazelle Farmer

The GAZ-33023 (Gazelle Farmer) truck is also flatbed, but unlike the GAZ-3302 it has a double cab, and the dimensions of the Gazelle truck body are smaller by the length of the cabin. The body of 33023 Farmer has a length of 2.34 m, a volume of 4.5 cubic meters, the width and height of the awning are the same as that of model 3302.

GAZ-33023 is used in agriculture and is also intended for transporting teams of repairmen and emergency services workers to sites. The carrying capacity of a car with a double cab is equal to one ton, the car has a very affordable price - all foreign analogues are much more expensive.

Body volume

In addition to dimensions and load capacity, the Gazelle body is also characterized by such an indicator as volume. There are light but large cargo, and therefore it is important whether this cargo can be placed in the back of the car. The standard GAZ 3302 body with an awning has a volume of 8 cubic meters. m. Here is a table with body volumes of basic models:

The total volume of the interior of the Sobol GAZ -22171 car (with a high roof) is 7.15 m³.

The volume of a van can vary and depends on the base chassis and body height. The volume can be from 10 to 18 cubic meters. m.

There are many parameters that a person who decides to buy a truck should pay attention to. This includes both engine power and fuel consumption. An important factor in the choice is the overall dimensions of the body.

Dimensions of Gazelle with extended base

The extended Gazelle brand began to be produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant in 2002, the first to be produced was model 330202 based on the GAZ-3302 flatbed truck. In contrast to the standard 3 m platform, the 330202 model has a body length of 4.2 m, and the platform can be extended to 5.1 m.

The extended Gazel 4.2 m has a body volume of 15 cubic meters. m, is designed for transporting long cargo that does not fit in a standard truck. The advantages of the GAZ-330202 over heavy-duty vehicles are the maneuverability of the vehicle and the ease of transporting small quantities of cargo. In the extended version of the vehicle, the wheelbase is increased from 2.9 to 3.5 meters, the load capacity remains the same as that of the base truck 3302.

Gazelle van: body dimensions

Vans of various types (manufactured goods, isothermal, grain, furniture) are installed on chassis 3302 and 330202; they are manufactured by various companies. The GAZ enterprise also produces all-metal vans in various modifications; they are united under the common brand GAZ-2705. The Gazelle all-metal van is produced in different modifications:

• in three- and seven-seat versions;
• with standard and high roof.

A 3-seater and a 7-seater cargo vehicle have different internal dimensions, a three-seater vehicle is designed to transport cargo, a 7-seater is a utility vehicle.

The van has the following body dimensions (cargo version):

• length – 2.98 m;
• height – 1.84 m;
• width – 2.975 m.

The total length of the all-metal van is 5.47 m, the cargo compartment in the cargo-passenger version is 1.97 m, the width along the side mirrors is 2.38 m. The volume of the cargo-passenger body is 6 m³, the cargo body is 9 m³.

The all-metal cargo GAZ-2705 has a carrying capacity of 1.35 tons, a cargo-passenger van - 950 kg. It should also be noted that all sorts of special vehicles are produced based on the Gazel chassis:

• ambulances;
• tow trucks;
• manipulators;
• buses;
• sewer trucks;
• milk tankers;
• fire engines;
• fuel trucks;
• dump trucks.

Next engine models

Cars based on GAZelle Next use a Cummins diesel engine with a power of 149 hp and a volume of 2.8 liters. At a car speed of 80 - 85 kilometers per hour, 10.2 liters of fuel are consumed per 100 kilometers. The maximum speed of this model is within 130 km per hour.

Today, many types of GAZelle NEXT use 4 types of engines. Two of them are Cummins brands.

This is an American engine known for its quality and reliability. Manufactured at a factory in China. They began to install it on all Next and Business models, so during this time it has been sufficiently studied and has shown itself to be excellent.

It is repairable, spare parts exist on the market, but in some regions of the country there are problems with its overhaul. Engine life is 500 thousand km.

In terms of power, it leaves the Evotech brand far behind. For this reason, this type can be used to mount heavy specialized superstructures - manipulators, platforms, tanks, refrigerators.

Cummins ISF2.8 diesel engine

The second type of engine is Evotech. This is a domestic gasoline engine. It's much cheaper. The difference in price of cars of the same type reaches 160,000 rubles. In case of a limited budget, this is of great importance. This is the UMZ-4216 engine, well known to consumers, with proven characteristics and a good biography.

Along with this, the quality of all parts has improved - they have been replaced with imported ones, or modified. According to its characteristics, this motor copes well with a load of 1.5 tons.

In addition, the gas-gasoline engine version brings significant cost savings.

Engine parameters
The plant has developed a new gasoline/gas engine of the ZMZ 405 and 409 brands for cars of this class. This unit is superior in its parameters to its American counterpart.

Its dynamics allow the car to confidently handle different types of roads. Power reaches 150 l/s. It was developed for the new UAZ truck. With this engine, the car's mileage increases.

Many companies offer their services for replacing existing engines with this modification. Now it is possible to officially buy this version of the car. There are discussions on this topic on automotive forums. Consumers hope that the GAZelle car will be equipped with such a unit.

Dimensions and capacity of truck body

The cargo compartment of the car can be covered, which makes it possible to remove the awning to obtain an open cargo compartment. The vehicle equipment must also contain fastening belts and additional equipment to provide additional services, such as loading cargo with a boom arm or hydraulic lift.

Truck heel sizes

Below are the dimensions of the Renault Cango heel truck, which is used for transporting documents and small cargo:

Car body dimensions:

Load capacity: 700 kilograms Body length: 1.2 meters Body width: 1 meter Body height: 1.2 meters Euro pallet capacity: 1 pallet American pallet capacity: 0 pallet

The heel is the best choice for delivering documents, parcels and using it as a cargo taxi. The heel is capable of carrying up to 700 kg of cargo and is an excellent courier vehicle, capable of driving to any point in the city where larger vehicles cannot go. This type of transport does not require a pass to the city center. The heel is perfect for transporting small-sized cargo and correspondence around the city.

Dimensions of a 1 ton truck

This type of car includes the Hyundai Porter and Gazelle Sable; below are the average body sizes:

Car body dimensions:

Load capacity: 1 ton Body length: 2.86 meters Body width: 1.6 meters Body height: 1.5 meters Euro pallet capacity: 3 pallets American pallet capacity: 2 pallets

This type of vehicle is well suited for transportation around the city. This type of car does not need a pass to the city center, and it takes up to 1 ton of weight and up to a volume of 9m3. The most popular are four body modifications: tilt, flatbed, isothermal (keeps the temperature at the same level during transportation) and refrigerator (allows you to transport food and perishable goods by cooling the body). The most popular vehicles in this type are Hyundai Porter trucks.

Modification "Farmer"

Before lengthening the body of the Gazelle “Farmer”, the frame structure is studied. It consists of 2 longitudinal spars and transverse elements. An insert is used to extend the frame. The cabin is installed through rubber cushions. The side extended platform is mounted on special elements.

The engine of the tuned Gazelle "Farmer" is fixed by 3 points - the gearbox and with the help of rubber cushions located on the front crossmember.

Springs and a gas tank are fixed to the elongated frame. Brake pipes and electrical wiring to the rear lights are laid inside the structure. The design of the extended Gazelle modification “Farmer” will be reliable if the assembly is carried out correctly. But before lengthening the Gazelle, experts take into account its standard carrying capacity.

An example of fastening an extended Gazelle frame.
For an extended Gazelle onboard, this figure does not exceed 1.5 tons, and for the “Farmer” it is even less (since the truck is equipped with a heavy double-row cab). Towing a tuned “Farmer” is rarely done. In this case, it is recommended to pull the light truck tightly, without jerking. Otherwise, you can tear out the rear jumper. This problem can be eliminated by welding a 120 channel into the damaged area.
To lengthen the Gazelle efficiently, it is recommended to pay special attention to the geometry of the frame structure and fastening elements. When assembling the structure, the cabin, body, engine and other components must be well secured. If, during the operation of the extended Gazelle “Farmer” base, cracks appear in the frame, then welding work is carried out. If you have a welding machine and experience working with it, repairs can be done yourself. Otherwise, you will need to contact a mechanic for help.

To weld an elongated frame, a diamond-shaped overlay is made from a 3-4 mm sheet. A semi-automatic machine is more often used for welding a structure. To register a Gazelle “Farmer” with a welded frame at the traffic police, you will need to provide a certificate of work performed from a car service center.
