A timber truck is indispensable for those who are going to transport lumber or logs. Among domestic brands, most often people pay attention to KamAZ trucks (model 43118, for example) and Urals (including log carriers like model 5557). Since the latter provide more models to choose from, it is easier to purchase a Ural timber truck.
Buying equipment of such specialization, and even in good quality, is not easy. In order not to make a mistake, you need to know where, how much and how to look correctly.
"Ural-375" - an army "glutton"
The Ural-375 all-terrain vehicle, equipped with a gasoline engine, became known as a fuel hog. When driving over rough terrain, the car could consume up to 100 liters of fuel per 100 km.
Low fuel efficiency was more than offset by outstanding cross-country ability, structural strength and high load capacity. In addition, the cost of gasoline in the USSR in the 60s and 70s was low, so no one paid attention to fuel consumption. The situation with fuel prices began to change in the late 70s, which was one of the reasons for replacing the all-terrain vehicle with more economical diesel options.

History of the Ural-4320 family • Problems with brakes often arise.
Chassis Features
The front suspension consists of 2 longitudinal semi-elliptical springs, operating together with hydraulic shock absorbers of a telescopic type of 2-way action. The upper lugs of the shock absorbers are attached to the bracket brackets through rubber bushings, and the lower lugs are attached to brackets welded to the axle housing. Hydraulic shock absorbers dampen vibrations resulting from elastic deformations of the truck's suspension elements when it moves over various uneven surfaces.
Purpose
Ural timber tractors are used for transporting logs and logs with a maximum length of up to 23 meters. Thanks to their excellent cross-country ability, Ural vehicles can be used on rough terrain, and they are also intended for public roads. Some models can be equipped with a hydraulic manipulator, which allows you to work without additional equipment for lifting loads.
Description of the technique
All-wheel drive "Ural" timber trucks are real "pros" in their field: they have excellent cross-country ability and behave as confidently on rough terrain as on hard surfaces. In addition, the Ural timber carrier with a hydraulic manipulator eliminates the need to use separate devices for loading and unloading.
The forest frame is standardly a base of 2 longitudinal spars and bunks attached on top that hold the forest. The maximum length of timber (assortment) should not be more than 23 meters. Let's look at what is most often purchased among the basic models.
"Ural"-4320:
- load capacity of the tractor is up to 15 tons, the load capacity of the manipulator is 3 tons;
- 240 “horses” under the hood;
- maximum speed – 75 km/h.
This model complies with Euro-3 standards.

Also often used for timber transport is the Ural-5557 log carrier (in common parlance - “agricultural truck”), created on the basis of the 4320 model, but which has an undoubted advantage - low-profile tires. The “agricultural truck” is routinely equipped with a dissolution for the timber truck.
When purchasing a “Ural” timber carrier, you need to take two nuances into account: firstly, this is a very “gluttonous” vehicle, so you won’t be able to save on fuel; secondly, “Urals” do not always meet foreign environmental standards, so for transportation abroad you will have to buy either the newest models, or stick to foreign-made tractors.
Purpose Ural-43206
The Ural-4320 equipment is used for transporting passengers in the back, towing large trailers and special equipment when moving on any type of roads and rough terrain. But as a result of certain economic difficulties, since 1993 this series of cars began to be equipped with units produced at the Yaroslavl Motor Plant.

The transport capabilities of the vehicle are preserved - the body can carry loads weighing up to 4.3 tons. At maximum boom reach, the crane mechanism can lift up to 1.2 tons of cargo, and at minimum - 4 tons.
All working and auxiliary movements of the installation are carried out by hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors, which can be controlled from a remote control located near the crane column or from a remote control, which you can even take with you to the cradle for high-altitude work.
Gearbox Power unit
Attached to the vehicle is a spreader trailer, which, like the cargo chassis, is equipped with a rotating bunk device in the shape of an inverted letter P, which ensures fixation of the transported timber. This car has a large number of different advantages that make it almost irreplaceable when used in difficult off-road conditions.
| Equipment | Possibilities |
| The Ural log carrier, equipped with a trailer with a folding drawbar, is also equipped with a winch. | While the vehicle is moving, it is loaded onto the loading platform. A telescopic drawbar, installed on a dismantling trailer, allows you to adjust the length of the automobile train depending on the length of the transported assortment. |
| In addition, a timber truck can be equipped with a CMU with a rotator - a special attachment that allows loading and unloading timber. | The rotator is mounted behind the cabin, and in the case of transporting short-length assortments, it can be installed on the rear overhang of the vehicle frame. Equipping a timber truck with a hydraulic manipulator increases its cost, but these costs are quickly offset by the absence of the need to use loaders. |

| Ural 375: technical characteristics (performance characteristics), fuel consumption per 100 km, how the legendary car was tested The car is built according to the cabin-over-engine layout with the exception of the Ural-532365 modification, which ensures optimal distribution of the total weight of the vehicle over the axles and maximum use of the truck’s dimensions for placement on its basis of various platforms and installations while maintaining a low curb weight. In 1977, after the launch of the Kama association for the production of heavy-duty vehicles, Ural trucks began to be equipped not with gasoline, but with diesel engines of the KamAZ-740 series, with a capacity of 210 horsepower, which were much more economical. |
- load capacity reaching 15–17 tons;
- excellent maneuverability;
- high-quality lugs on tires;
- all-wheel drive on a permanent basis;
- optimal weight distribution;
- maneuverability.
Why should you buy a URAL timber truck?
- The wheels of these machines are equipped with massive treads, and therefore can confidently cope with swamps and clay soils.
- Without reacting in any way to precipitation, they quickly start even at -30° C, and can work freely in conditions of sudden climatic changes.
- In addition, the ratio of a powerful diesel engine and a stepped gearbox can be considered a special advantage of timber trucks based on URAL.
- The weight of the components of this timber truck does not exceed 8,700 kg, and the total weight of the vehicle is 19,300 kg. The advantage of this size is that with it the timber truck will be stably stable when used at different angles, both directly during work and during the further movement of special equipment on the road.
- Despite the power and size of the machine, it is very easy to operate.
- The URAL timber truck can transport timber with a length of 6 to 8 meters, and if you buy a timber trailer, you can increase this characteristic by 3 times!
Any businessman purchasing a timber truck has his own specific tasks, so the characteristics of the timber truck must be such as to simplify, speed up and reduce the cost of the production process as much as possible. If these characteristics do not seem useful to you, then we suggest studying timber trucks based on KAMAZ or MAZ .
Most often, our timber trucks are bought in the Leningrad, Vologda, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Arkhangelsk, Yaroslavl regions and the Republic of Karelia.
Engine
Ural Next is equipped with turbodiesel engines of the YaMZ-536 family produced by the Yaroslavl Motor Plant. This series is considered relatively new. It was developed by domestic designers together with specialists from the Austrian engineering company AVL List GmbH. The engine itself is a “hodgepodge” - it uses elements from various brands (Mahel valves, cylinder-piston group - Federal Mogul, gears - ZF, fuel system - Bosh). Such diversity had a positive effect on quality, and the average service life increased to 800,000 km.
One of the advantages of YaMZ-536 motors is their weight. The unit weighs only 560 kg (the old YaMZ-236 diesel engine weighed 1050 kg). Power supply system – Common Rail. An important design point is the standardized SAE1 flywheel housing, which allows the installation of various types of transmissions.

Timber carrier URAL with a manipulator.
It is difficult to overestimate the benefits and benefits of using a manipulator on special-purpose logging equipment. Anyone who once decided to buy a URAL timber truck with a hydraulic manipulator has long since saved himself from many problems.
For example, there is no need to purchase or maintain additional equipment, which means that there is no need to pay taxes, hire additional labor, carry out maintenance and refuel two cars at once. This is a significant saving of money and time, as well as a significant increase in productivity and speed of work, because a timber truck with a manipulator independently copes with loading and unloading timber.
NOTE! Make sure you understand the difference between CMU and GMU. You will not be able to buy a URAL timber truck with a manipulator crane, because... The CMU is simply useless in this situation. At the end of the KMU boom there is a hook that cannot be used to lift a log or assortment. Therefore, if you still need a loader, we suggest you buy a URAL timber truck with a hydraulic manipulator - it has a special grab grip in the form of a “hand” at the end of the boom.
