The Russian GAZ-3307 dump truck belongs to the fourth generation of medium-duty vehicles that were produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant. The airborne version rolled off the assembly line in 1989. Later, in 1994, the company switched to production of the new model 3309, which included a diesel engine.

Dump truck GAZ-SAZ 53B
The dump truck has a shortened frame by 300 mm, which is why the spare wheel was moved under the body behind the driver. Both suspensions are on leaf springs, shock absorbers are installed only on the front suspension. On the first releases of trucks, the edges of the main sheets were bent and formed an “ear” for fastening, and at this point they were fastened through the bushing using spring pins.
The gasoline tank is located under the driver, the filler neck is located immediately behind the driver's door. The modification was carried out from 1966 to 1984; in addition to Saransk, cars with dumping equipment were produced at the Frunzensky Automobile Assembly Plant.
The most famous truck from the times of the USSR is considered to be the GAZ-53, in addition, it also surpassed its counterparts in terms of production quantity. GAZ-53 can be classified as a medium-tonnage truck.
The GAZ-53 truck has rear-wheel drive, and various modifications of trucks were produced on its basis, including dump trucks. GAZ 53 dump trucks were marked as GAZ-SAZ 53B. GAZ 53 dump trucks were produced from 1966 to 1974.
Cabin
The dump truck cabin has space for two people. Such a dump truck could load 3.5 tons, despite the fact that the weight of the equipped dump truck reached 3 tons 750 kg. The dump truck was 6.38 m long, 2.475 m wide, and 2.575 m high. Its wheelbase reached 3.7 m.
Engine
Like all 53 models, the GAZ 53 dump truck was equipped with a carburetor engine that could run on both natural gas and gasoline. The engine was installed V-shaped with eight cylinders. The engine consumed 24 liters per 100 km, which is not so much for trucks of that time.

The total engine volume was 4.25 liters, and the power that it could develop was 115 hp.
Transmission
The gearbox is mechanical, consisting of four stages. The GAZ 53 dump truck was equipped with a single-plate dry clutch and a single hypoid final drive. The steering was equipped with a pair of globoid worms with a three-ridge roller. The tire diameter was 20 inches.

Thanks to the galvanized cabin, the dump truck is reliably protected from the influences of various weather conditions, including corrosion.
Saransk dump truck plant
The Saransk plant has been operating since 1960, since August. By the end of the first year of its existence, the company had assembled about 10 thousand dump trucks. The plant constantly exceeded the plan and was in good standing, and by 1965 it had already produced its 100,000th dump truck. In the first years, the GAZ-SAZ 53B model rolled off the assembly line; in parallel, the SAZ 3502 model was produced with one-sided unloading of the body and its preliminary lifting. By November 1978, the company had already assembled half a million cars.
Purpose
Basically, the GAZ-SAZ-3507 truck carries out transportation and mechanized unloading of various cargo, both agricultural (grain, silage, manure) and fine-bulk (sand, expanded clay, crushed stone). As for operating conditions, the model can move on asphalt, dirt and field roads.
The instruction manual supplied with this truck contains a special note from the manufacturer stating that the model is not intended to transport concrete mixtures and mortars in the back, or to work in quarries. In addition, it is not recommended to transport large indivisible cargo, hard rocks, etc. This is due to the fact that the design of the truck is not capable of withstanding such loads, which in turn can lead to very serious damage. It is also unsafe, since due to large-sized cargo, the equipment can easily tip over.
The manufacturer recommends using the GAZ-SAZ-3507 as a single truck. Therefore, a coupling device is not installed on it from the factory and it is not prohibited to install it yourself.
This truck is ideal for use in temperate climates. But it can also be used in fairly harsh temperature conditions, since its full functionality is maintained even at temperatures from minus 45 to plus 45 degrees.
Car GAZ-SAZ-3507
Since the beginning of 1984, the Saransk plant has mastered the production of the new GAZ-SAZ-3507 truck. Subsequently, its modifications were developed:
- GAZ-SAZ-35071 with a diesel engine D-245 (based on the GAZ 3309);
- GAZ-SAZ-3507-01 with a ZMZ-5231 gasoline engine (based on the GAZ 3307);
- GAZ-SAZ-25041 with tilting only backwards and preliminary lifting of the body.
Characteristics of the GAZ 33072 chassis
For the GAZ-SAZ-3507-01 model, the basis was the chassis of the GAZ 33072 dump truck. The technical characteristics of the chassis are as follows:

A little history
The management of the Gorky enterprise, the first in the territory of the former Union in the mid-80s of the last century, realized that the Russian automobile industry, then called Soviet, urgently needed to be modernized and brought to world standards. Third generation cars were quickly improved. It was clear to everyone that it was urgent to launch the car with new technical data. As a result, a new GAZ-3307 diesel dump truck appeared. Manufacturers realized that the main technical units and components of the machine were obsolete; it was necessary not only to improve the current range of models, but also to create a machine with completely different technical characteristics.
At the end of 1989, it was possible to produce the first GAZ SAZ-3307 dump truck, which had an engine produced by ZMZ, and the wheel formula corresponded to a 4 x 2 scheme. The vehicle’s load capacity was 4.5 tons, the vehicle was intended for movement on paved roads.
Modern GAZ-SAZ dump trucks
In 2003, the plant in Saransk began production of the new model GAZ-SAZ-35072. The base chassis was the GAZ 3309, and its power unit was a Belarusian-made diesel engine D-245. This version of the dump truck turned out to be very economical - fuel consumption according to technical characteristics was 14 liters per 100 km at a speed of 60 km/h.

Despite the fact that the diesel engine has half as many cylinders as the gasoline ZMZ, the power of the D-245 is slightly less. Dump trucks GAZ-SAZ-35071 and GAZ-SAZ-35072 are still produced by the Saransk plant, and these products are deservedly popular.

Cabin GAZ-53
The cabin interior deserves special mention, as it was considered comfortable and ergonomic at the time of release. Today it is clearly outdated, which is manifested not only in design, but also in operational characteristics. Compared to its predecessor GAZ-51, the cabin has become much more spacious.
In addition, it has good thermal insulation, especially modifications intended for use in the Far North. The seats are made of artificial non-marking leather, which makes caring for the cabin much easier. Their size allows 1 driver and 2 passengers to fit in the cabin.
DEVICE
The design of the GAZ 3507 is not distinguished by its elegance, since the car was created for economic purposes. The large hooded cabin, preserved from Soviet times, the powerful bumper pushed forward, and the round headlights in the wings do not add to the car's attractiveness. In technical terms, the GAZ 3507 looks much better. For its class, the truck is relatively small in size and is characterized by high directional stability and maneuverability. Large rear mirrors allow you to control the situation when driving, and high-power lighting devices allow you to operate the vehicle in the dark.
Overframe device
GAZ-SAZ-3507 is equipped with a special over-frame device on which a dump cargo platform is installed. This device has three separate units, namely the front and rear beams, and the subframe itself.

The front beam is presented in the form of a hollow beam, which is essentially a bent metal profile. The upper plane of the beam has a welded pair of brackets on which rubber buffers are installed. The lower plane has brackets, through which it is installed in the frame structure of the truck. The ends of the beam have side plates and a pair of welded axles that have front platform support brackets, and several brackets that secure the front side light and side protection.
The subframe is a welded frame structure secured to the vehicle frame with bolts. It has two longitudinal beams and cross members connecting them to each other. In addition to connecting the crossbars, they also serve as a stop for the hydraulic cylinder of the lifting mechanism. The left longitudinal beam is equipped with a safety stop that secures the rear-raised loading platform. To soften shock loads, the subframe also has rubber buffers.
A rectangular metal profile was taken as the basis for the rear beam. The upper plane is equipped with thrust brackets and supports that interact with the rear rotating bearings of the body. The side and bottom planes have brackets that allow you to firmly fasten this beam to the frame structure of the truck.
The taillights are also mounted to the rear beam using brackets. In addition, there is a license plate holder, rear side marker light and contour lights.
