✅ KMZ 8136 trailer specifications

Hello! Today we will talk about, in my opinion, a rather interesting passenger trailer called KMZ 8136. This model belongs to the category of classic car trailers, if you allow me to call them that.

Modern production has made a big step forward. But this does not prevent the KMZ 8136 model from remaining relevant and in demand to this day.

There is still active sales of the towed vehicle. This is due to the high quality of the factory products that were released at the time. You can quickly buy such a passenger trailer on the secondary market. Although some still offer them in new condition. It is difficult to judge how true their statements are.

My task is to introduce you to the features of KMZ 8136 and tell you about its technical characteristics. I won't forget to mention the manufacturer.

KMZ trailers: model range and prices

OJSC Kurganmashzavod has long occupied a leading position in the Russian military-industrial complex. The official date of registration of the plant occurred in the post-war years (1950). At that time, only tracked tractors were manufactured, but today its range includes a variety of equipment, including the KMZ trailer. A wide range of attachments allows for use in agriculture, utility and construction work.

A little about the company

Despite the fact that the project to create the plant was signed back in 1939, its construction was delayed until 1947. This was facilitated by martial law. But three years later, the first branded product was released - a caterpillar tractor. The production of special equipment lasted until 1962, after which the company directed its production forces to the development of an artillery model range and infantry fighting vehicles.

The year 1992 was marked by the production merger into OJSC Kurganmashzavod, as well as the establishment of export supplies. KMZ trailers and agricultural machinery appeared on the official website relatively recently. Now you can find the following products in the catalog:

mounted buckets;
rippers;
spare parts for KMZ trailer;
cleaning equipment;
drilling equipment;
concrete mixers;
power units;
KMZ car trailers;
transport vehicles;
mini tractors, etc.

The main production forces are concentrated in Chinese factories. Due to this, the company significantly reduced the cost of its own products. Thus, KMZ passenger trailers were able to seriously compete even with imported equipment.

Model range and prices

The modern market is overflowing with a variety of offers from various manufacturers, but the Kurgan trailer was distinguished not only by its availability, but also by positive reviews from customers. The best variations include the following models:

Trailer KMZ 8119

The tow hitch has a strong welded frame, which ensures durability and reliability of the device. The entire structure is reinforced to eliminate the possibility of deformation from overload. Thanks to the independent suspension, this model is characterized by increased stability and is not subject to rocking, which is so common in modern models.

8119 model 185 cm long, 160 cm wide, side height 30 cm. Trailer load capacity is 500 kg

The wheel hub does not protrude beyond the dimensions, so the device is easy to operate even in confined spaces. The design has a folding drawbar, this allows you to store the towbar in a vertical position. The upper part can be covered with an awning, which makes it possible to transport cargo in any weather.

The disadvantages of the model are that it has not been produced for a long time, so KMZ 8119 can only be found on the secondary market. Here its price varies within 20,000 rubles; the cost is directly influenced by the year of manufacture, condition and safety of the original configuration.

Trailer KMZ 8136

The compact trailer KMZ 8136 is designed for transporting small-sized and light cargo weighing up to 390 kg.

Trailer KMZ 8136

The platform area of the model is 2.23 m, and the dimensions are equal to the following indicators:

length – 1850 mm;
width – 1204 mm;
height without covering with awning - 25 cm.

The curb weight of the KMZ does not exceed 160 kg, so the trailer is suitable for installation on any passenger car, even low-power ones. Its price is 30,000 rubles. The features of the model include a monolithic bottom made of aluminum, an extended drawbar with a mechanism for turning the body without the need to disconnect the trailer, galvanization, a traction type coupling system and folding sides.

Trailer KMZ 8284

The model is used for transporting a variety of cargo, while it can be used in combination with any vehicle equipped with a towing device. The design has a spring shock-absorbing suspension, and the package includes an awning and a removable frame.

Trailer KMZ 8284

As an additional option for the KMZ 8284 trailer, there are 2-row or single-row sides with a height of up to 33.5 cm. The body of the trailer element is covered with galvanized steel, which, according to the manufacturer, eliminates the possibility of corrosion.

A little about the company

The KMZ plant or Kurganmashzavod first produced its own light trailer in 1984. Back then it was a multifunctional model of fairly compact size. The products quickly gained popularity due to their affordable cost and high quality products.

Manufacturers have provided for literally every little detail. We used high-quality wheel bearings, load-resistant shock absorbers, durable suspension arms and other spare parts. The owners did not have any particular problems changing silent blocks or other components. To do this, there was no need to seek help from specialists.

Currently, their old trailers, including KMZ 8136, are actively used and converted to the needs of the owner. Some people have a spring instead of a wishbone suspension, others install larger wheels, weld the side, etc. This is a convenient and simple trailer that allows you to adapt it to various tasks and functions.

If we talk about modern production, then in 2022 the Kurganmashzavod plant has undergone significant changes. It began to be used for the production of military equipment. But because of this, the production of trailers was not stopped. Production was moved to the city of Cheboksary, retaining a team of experienced specialists and engineers. It was also possible to save the entire production cycle.

Now KMZ trailers are produced at a new site. Specialists have modernized the production base, which has improved the quality of products and reduced the cost of manufacturing equipment. Because change is not always for the worse.

If you don’t remember or have forgotten, then we have the KMZ 8284 20 trailer and the KMZ 8284 21 model. We also provided a comparison of two popular solutions, determining the more preferable trailer between the Krepysh and KMZ models. I advise you to read it. You will find it interesting and useful.

Design features of KMZ 8136

If you look at the official passport of this automobile passenger trailer, you can find out quite a lot of interesting and useful information regarding the original design of the KMZ 8136. To begin with, I will note that this is a trailer for passenger cars, aimed at transporting various cargoes. I hasten to remind you about the features and advantages of flatbed trailers, which you can read at the link.

The plant provides for the installation of a whole list of components and parts, including shock absorbers, bearings and silent blocks, identical to those used on domestic cars. So, you can put a set of wheels from a VAZ or Moskvich on a trailer. An exception is the Moskvich M 2141 model.

The suspension here is of very high quality and durable. It is an independent design with coil compression springs and telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers. Stamp-welded arms are also used, which swing in the longitudinal plane and are hinged using silent blocks on the transverse beam of the trailer frame.

Now you can easily select and install springs on a passenger car, making almost anything you want from domestic classics.

The KMZ 8136 was supplied with the following items from the factory:

awning;
set of extension sides;
drawbar extension;
fasteners;
electrical kit for connecting lighting devices, etc. to the vehicle’s on-board network.

The equipment was quite rich. Some components were offered at extra cost, while others were included in the base price. But the price remained at an affordable and adequate level, which largely explains such popularity.

I agree that in some modern KMZ 8136, which have undergone alterations and modifications, even from a photo it is difficult to recognize the outlines of a classic domestic trailer. But nothing lasts forever, so the design needs to be improved and modernized. Even if initially KMZ 8136 has excellent quality.

Specifications

Reading reviews, I discovered that many cannot find the frame number on their trailer from KMZ. I hasten to help. Usually this number is located in the area of the left side lamp. Look in that area.

It often happens that during use the number becomes dirty, rubbed over or covered with new layers of paint. This is an obvious flaw on the part of the manufacturer, since on models 8136 before 2000 the number was not duplicated. It is located only in one place and is sometimes poorly visible due to the initially not very high-quality application.

If you have figured this out, then all that remains is to consider the main technical characteristics. Understanding the approximate dimensions and capabilities of the trailer, you can decide for yourself whether you need a similar option, or whether it is better to look among something more modern.

Congratulations! I also bought this one yesterday, almost ideally for 15 rubles!

A similar one was reanimated, it is in the Logbook.

I have the same one! Like! Congratulations on your desired purchase!

A couple of years ago, the same one at the same price. I changed one lever, then for 3500 rubles. The wiring was changed and painted. The shock was supplied by a gas shock from Sharan. I don’t use it often, and I don’t load it like Kraz. He follows Sharan like a glove, whether loaded or empty. I was looking for just such a one with a drawbar extension and unloading, so that I could roll a boat.

I was looking for the main thing with the correct body shape, without arches into the trailer.

Nice trailer. I bought this used 10 years ago. After the purchase, I painted it all, put new hemispheres in the trailer (turned them by a turner) and changed the electrics. I have never lengthened the drawbar. But now he climbed under it and was upset - the khan’s levers. New ones cost as much as the floor of a new trailer. I'm thinking about what to do. The weak point is these levers...

Put it on springs! )))

A good option. I'll post it if I find it in St. Petersburg.

I own a similar trailer manufactured by Rubtsovsky MashZavod 93gv. It differs from yours only in the drawbar; mine is triangular. I'm surprised that all the steel components are the same.

Information about hub bearings www.drive2.ru/c/2945175/ It is better not to load more than 400 kg, otherwise the levers will bend. Shock absorbers are suitable for classic/niva/moskvich/zaza. Springs from Zaza/Tavria. Lanterns from the UAZ tadpole, license plate lights from the five/shnivy. Levers are original

It was necessary to immediately convert it to a beam, much more load-bearing!

And add another 15tr?

It was necessary to immediately convert it to a beam, much more load-bearing!

It was possible, but there is no need yet; I carry furniture and household appliances when moving.

When I started restoring my grandfather’s 93g trailer, I think I invested 12 thousand at once. There is still a replacement of hubs and axle shafts ahead. I think this is still worth 6-8 rubles. And for 15 in working condition to buy with documents, it’s not expensive at all. Considering the quality of trailers they sell now. Look at the reviews on the hosting sites, it’s all foil. The components are one disposable from China. Some have moisture-resistant plywood as the bottom of the trailer. Frank trash.

The question on such a trailer is who the levers are from?

Who knows, there are levers made from pipes.

Is the hub axle removable there?

The hub has 4 bolts there.

What car are the wheel beams from?

Your own levers. Sold by the Kurgan plant as spare parts for approximately 4500 pieces.

The hole, yes, for a removable cylinder with a key, as mentioned above, is sold separately. And the price is of course a freebie, at one time I was looking for a remodel, but in our 600 km area there was nothing except rubbish with documents. In the end I took a new one

Trailers from Kurganmashzavod

All products of the Kurgan Machine-Building Plant are distinguished by functionality, reliability, efficiency, and ease of use. Over the years of existence, trailers from the KMZ plant have earned fans throughout Russia, who confidently confirmed the suitability of these units. An obvious example is, for example, the universal trailer KMZ 828420, popular in all corners of the country.

Trailers for KMZ passenger cars have a number of distinctive features and features that set them apart from their competitive counterparts. A clear advantage is the fully galvanized sides and painted frame. And the moisture-resistant plywood bottom, which suppresses the noise emitted by the cargo, will last a very long time. But provided that no aggressive mechanical influences are exerted on it.

The manufacturer and developer Kurganmashzavod has provided for literally every nuance of the design: high-quality wheel bearings, a durable suspension arm, shock absorbers that can withstand heavy loads and other spare parts. And when replacing components, the owners of the structure do not have problems with which they have to contact specialists.

Why is this necessary?

And indeed, why take and change a ready-made trailer if initially its layout or design suited you completely?! The question is purely personal and depends on the individual needs of the car owner.

Let's take a few good trailers as an example:

MMZ 81021;
Scythian;
VSW;
KMZ 8119;
MZSA;
Kurgan trailer, etc.

Good vehicles with enviable technical characteristics for many manufacturers. But if suddenly there is a need to use them to transport boats or to transport a motorcycle, then they will not be able to cope with such tasks.

Yes, any standard trailers are perfect for traveling to your dachas and loading several bags of potatoes collected from the garden. But I want something different and more.

I would highlight several main goals that car owners pursue when deciding to change a trailer:

increase functionality;
increase carrying capacity;
change reliability parameters for the better;
modernize the purely appearance of the vehicle.

Now let’s go through each of the points separately and decide what can be done in this or that situation with your factory standard towed vehicle.

Reliability

If you are concerned about the issue of reliability, then it is better to immediately buy a more expensive trailer that is resistant to all loads and impacts. Then you won’t have to think about whether it can last 5-10 years.

To reduce the rate of wear, that is, increase the reliability of your car, truck or boat trailer, you can:

make the lining of the body and bottom of the trailer using ordinary plywood;
replace standard optics with LED ones, which last longer and place less load on the car’s electrical system;
apply anti-corrosion agent to the body;
treat the body with high-quality paint;
put up an awning (we talked about it separately in this article).

It is possible to replace the hubs, modernize the suspension and other improvements. It is very popular to switch the Bee trailer to springs with a standard torsion bar. It has a good effect on the reliability, performance and behavior of the trailer on roads of varying quality. So it's worth thinking about.

Functionality

Many are more interested in the functional side of the trailer, that is, its ability to provide various additional capabilities.

Various options available:

Everything here is limited only by your imagination, needs and real possibilities. It is clear that it will not be possible to make a whole huge motor home from a small cheap trailer.

Yes, upgrading a boat trailer into a cargo trailer is a more complex process, because you will have to create the frame, sides, and install an awning with your own hands. It is easier to make a boat out of a cargo boat, because all unnecessary structures are removed and the corresponding limiters and fasteners are installed. And that’s it, the vehicle for transporting the boat is ready.

There are many examples of photos and videos where craftsmen slightly changed the design of caravans, or turned them into a real work of art. There is always something to rely on, where to take examples and inspiration.

Load capacity

If you need to transport cargo weighing up to 1.3 tons, then it is enough to have a regular single-axle trailer.

But sometimes it is necessary to increase the load capacity, for which another 1 axle is added. From single-axis we get biaxial. The solution is good if it justifies itself from the standpoint of active exploitation.

Be prepared to stand in lines and deal with paperwork. Such a conversion into a two-axle vehicle requires re-registration of the trailer with the traffic police. Otherwise, fines and even more serious consequences of illegal alterations cannot be avoided.

Appearance

The owner of a trailer does not always need to change its technical and functional characteristics. But the standard appearance is depressing, which prompts the idea to change something from an aesthetic point of view.

Let's use our imagination and get to work. The most common ones include:

installation of new optics;
installation of original reflectors;
body painting;
modernization of beautiful protection;
replacement of awning;
installation of LED strips around the perimeter for illumination;
replacement of wheels and tires.

A trailer is a huge space for creativity. There are no clear boundaries or restrictions here.

Do not forget that any interference with the design may be a reason for you to be stopped by a traffic police officer, issued a fine or even a ban on operation until you receive official documents and certificates of re-registration.

Thank you for your attention! Share your experience in tuning and modifying caravans in the comments and don’t forget to tell your friends about us!

It was like this: I bought a used trailer, not for a lot of money with documents, but in a deplorable condition. The trailer, in principle, is not bad, but “tired”, the previous owner treated the suspension arms, welded the brackets for these arms, in general, the geometry of the wheels was lost (bending of the arms). The rear and front sides were killed (rotten), the drawbar was bent... 1 I decided to start from the sides (front-back). Since the height of standard sides is 25 cm (not enough for me), I made it 40 cm high (a frame made of professional pipe with a 1.5 mm sheet riveted from the inside) 2 It was necessary to align the longitudinal sides with the transverse ones ., and at the same time strengthen. It was decided to strengthen it with a board, 15 cm wide and flush with the side. Since in the lower (original board) there are sockets for landing additional boards of 4 pieces, I don’t remember the diameter. Screws with a diameter of 8 mm were screwed into the board, and they, in turn, attract bushings of the required length, so these bushings fit snugly into standard board seats. As you can see in the photo, the board is attached to the board with strips of metal, riveted to the iron board and mounted on screws to the board. The board has excellent rigidity and sufficient height. By the way, a friend came with the same trailer, and he had additional sides installed on his cart (on oven mitts). No comparison - like jellied meat! 3 I straightened the drawbar and welded a piece of a suitable profile and thickness so that it was possible to bend the trailer at 90 degrees without consequences for the car (the gap from the front side to the car is 20 cm). I painted it and drove around with it - I scoured the road, although I didn’t jump (the shock absorbers are working, but the springs are weak). I brought gravel, loaded less than the standard sides, fell on the bump stops, it wasn’t far to go - I made it... The load didn’t suit me and I decided... 4 Replacing the suspension is what should help.. I disassembled the wishbone suspension, I cut off the washers welded to the levers (by means of which the hub is attached). I made an axle with a lowered beam (from the photo you will understand that the wheel axis is higher than the beam axis). Then I bought 469 front springs, stepladders + nuts, earrings + bushings. The springs had to be softened (too rough), pay attention to the photo of the spring. As a result of the alteration, the result was: toe 3 mm, camber 3 mm, body volume 0.9 m3, load capacity - the load was level on the sides (gravel, sand), there were 8-10 cm left before the bumpers, do the math yourself (material density per volume). As for the reliability of the structure: a little over 50 tons were transported and unloaded on a cart, the spring bushings were cheap - they cracked but did not burst (I bought polyurethane ones). By the way, during the next unloading, the lights from 66 died out for a long time (they were in the standard place), so now they are from Kamaz - transferred from the edge and bottom of the tailgate. When unloading, the trailer is placed vertically. The cart behind the car goes as if on rails, the empty truth occasionally bounces, but not all at once, but one by one... By the way, I came to the idea and installed 16″ 7J wheels, 215*70 R16 tires, it’s more fun to roll on large skating rinks, but that’s not the case either the limit is a set of 235*70 R16 in the storage room.

The small-sized tractor KMZ-012 owes its appearance on the markets of Russia and the countries of the former USSR to the attempt of the Kurgan Machine-Building Plant to develop the market for universal agricultural machinery for small subsidiary plots and farms.

The car was presented to the general public in 2002. And despite serious competition from Chinese and European machine manufacturers, the tractor found its niche in the market and acquired fans.

A serious set of attachments for agriculture and municipal services played a big role in this. At the same time, the tractor itself was compact and economical. This made it attractive not only for public utilities and small farms, but also for ordinary rural residents who have small plots and keep livestock in their yards.

As mentioned above, KMZ-012 was produced at Kurganmashzavod. The enterprise is famous primarily for its military products. Or rather, infantry fighting vehicles, which are in service in 23 countries around the world.

The plant began its activities as an enterprise for the production of heavy crane equipment in 1950. And in 1954 it switched to the production of tracked army tractors, which were also used for civilian purposes, for example, in geological exploration.

In 1966, the government decided to begin production of infantry fighting vehicles or BMP-1 at the plant. Large-scale re-equipment of the plant and construction of new facilities began. In 1967, the first infantry fighting vehicles rolled off the production lines of the enterprise. New BMP-2s were released in 1983, and since 1987, more advanced BMP-3s.

Today, OJSC Kurganmashzavod is a major mechanical engineering center with the latest equipment, a full production cycle and testing grounds for products. In addition to military equipment, the plant also produces a number of civilian vehicles.

Among the latest civilian developments, we can note the CHETRA TM-140 tracked transport vehicle, which can be equipped with various equipment. Multifunctional construction and utility vehicles with various attachments, lifting capacity of 1000 and 800 kg. Car trailers.

As for the hero of our review, the KMZ-012 tractor, its production began in 2002. In 2005 it was included in the list of “100 best goods of Russia”. Currently, unfortunately, the production of these machines has been stopped.

Types of KMZ trailers

KMZ trailers are conventionally divided into specific groups of characteristic orientation:

General purpose. Universal trailers for KMZ passenger cars are the “old guys” of the plant. They are used for various purposes: transporting personal items, building materials, motor equipment or anything else. They are equipped with sides of various heights, including extended ones.

Among the most popular station wagon models are the KMZ 8136 trailer, KMZ 8284 trailer and its modifications. For units for motor and snow equipment - the KMZ 8284 41 trailer. And for boats - 8284 31. But more about them later.

Characteristics of KMZ trailers

Multifunctional trailers for KMZ passenger cars, as a rule, have body dimensions of 2-3.5 m in length, 1.25-1.51 m in width, side height - 0.35 m. Dimensions of station wagons vary from 3.23 to 4 .89 m in length, 1.59-2.05 in width, 0.9-0.96 in height. Their curb weight is 0.16-0.355 tons, the gross weight is 0.75 tons, and the payload is 0.395-0.59 tons. The loading height of such trailers is 0.55-0.666 m. Almost all general-purpose trailers are equipped with quick-release sides. They are modified into a carriage platform. There are both single-axis and biaxial. The cost of multifunctional on-board aircraft ranges from 34 to 72 thousand rubles.

As for trailers for motor and snowmobile equipment, these are the same universal flatbeds with the same characteristics and within the same price limits, only equipped with additional equipment for securing, loading and unloading, and transporting equipment.

Frame carriages for boats and boats with dimensions of about 4 meters in length, 1.5 meters in width and up to 1 meter in height. They have a carrying capacity of more than 0.5 tons and a loading height of 0.65 m. The cost for them starts from 43,500 rubles.

Models are equipped with thirteen or sixteen inch wheels and four-leaf spring suspension.

Features of the socket connection

To connect the towbar to the vehicle's electrical wiring, we recommend using stranded copper wire. The ideal option is a wire in which each core has a cross-section of at least 1.5 square meters. mm. The wire must have a double layer of insulation.

After connecting the trailer according to our diagram and checking the functionality of its lighting equipment, it is advisable to take care of protecting the internal elements of the outlet from moisture. It would be a good idea to use graphite lubricant, which will also prevent oxidation of the contacts.

Popular trailer models

The KMZ 8284 20 trailer is a bright representative among station wagons. Compatible with all passenger cars that have a tow bar. The dependent suspension with shock absorbers creates a smooth ride. Single-row sides with a height of 33.5 cm (removable at the front, rear), double-row - 25 cm. Equipped with a tipper mechanism. The additional package includes a removable arch tent frame. The length of the transported cargo is up to 5.5 m. It is stored in a vertical or horizontal position, saving space. Standing takes up to 1 square meter. Regarding technical characteristics:
Payload – 0.57 t.
Body dimensions – 1.85x1.204x0.25 m.
Overall – 3.085x1.76x0.6 m.
Loading height – 0.6 m.
Wheels – 13.

And these are just a few samples presented by the plant, among the assortment of which anyone can choose the one that suits them. Whether to buy one of the presented models or not is a personal choice. Fortunately, today the range of trailed equipment for passenger cars is extensive, although this may seem like a problem.

general description

This type of vehicle is produced by the Kurgan Trailers Trade House. All of the company's products are easy to use and highly reliable. And most importantly, low cost, affordable for many drivers.

Over many years of operation, the KMZ trailer has gained a huge number of fans. They, the users, like no one else, can confirm the quality of the vehicle, its versatility and suitability for Russian roads.

The company offers a large selection of models. From universal to specialized. It is difficult to describe them all in one place. Therefore, we will consider only a few options.

7 to 7 socket connection diagram

It’s even better if its cross-section is from one and a half square meters. You can splice the contacts of two headlights, reverse lights, brake lights, fog lights and side lights.

Universal connection diagram for a car trailer socket - the second method. Many models of modern cars have a towbar that allows you to tow a trailer.

What is this connected with? Before driving, check that all trailer warning lights are functioning properly.

It is advisable to use the services of experienced electricians who master the intricacies of switching and know the features of electrical circuits. This must be done correctly - through the towbar. As already mentioned, this method is not suitable for vehicles equipped with an on-board computer.

We recommend: Standards for testing and measuring electrical equipment

They don't use as much current and the relay will still function as before. Wrenches and screwdrivers. The next method involves changing the car's electrical system.

List of required materials: Various tools for removing the bumper. Remember that connection and installation work can only be carried out when the power from the vehicle battery is disconnected.

Lamps used in 8213 series trailers

It is used to control the connection of the trailer wires. At first glance, a simple procedure turns out to be not as simple as it was originally thought. Articles on the topic. Contact numbers and wire colors for a 13 pin socket. Correspondence table for pin connector.

The second contact group, which provides constant 12-volt power, is often not used. Before driving, check that all trailer warning lights are functioning properly. hitch the trailer

Universal trailers

The KMZ general purpose trailer is one of the first produced at the plant. It is used for various purposes in everyday life. It can transport personal belongings, construction materials and other types of cargo. The trailer is equipped with sides, the height of which can vary. There are models with increased height.

A representative of this group is the KMZ-8284 trailer. It can be used with all passenger cars that have a coupling device. For a soft and smooth ride, both springs and shock absorbers are installed. The sides can be single-row (with a height of 33.5 centimeters) or double-row (the height of each row is 25 centimeters). In addition, there is additionally a removable frame (in the form of arcs) with an awning. The front and rear sides are removable. This facilitates the loading process and allows you to transport loads up to five and a half meters in length.

The trailer can even be stored in an upright position. This saves space. In this position it occupies less than one square meter.

The technical characteristics of the KMZ-8284 trailer include the following:

The curb weight of the trailer is eighteen kilograms.

The permissible cargo weight is three hundred and seventy kilograms.

The length of the trailer is 3.1 meters, with the drawbar extension installed – 3.9 meters.

Width - 1.8 meters.

Height with an awning is 1.1-1.3 meters (depending on modification), with a rigid superstructure - 1.6-1.7 meters.

The dimensions of the interior of the trailer are 1.9x1.2x0.5 meters.

The permissible speed is ninety kilometers per hour.

Another bright representative of this category is the KMZ-8136 trailer. Its dimensions are as follows: length - 1.9 meters, width - 1.2 meters, height - 0.3 meters. The platform area with these dimensions is 2.23 square meters. It is capable of transporting cargo weighing no more than 390 kilograms. The weight of the trailer itself is one hundred and sixty kilograms.

The cost of trailers in this group ranges from thirty-three to thirty-five thousand rubles.

Total information

One of the first serial products developed specifically for the products of the VAZ plant was the MMZ-81021 trailer. Production started in 1972 and was carried out at the production facilities of the machine-building plant in Mytishchi. The main feature of the trailer was the wide unification of parts with Zhiguli cars, from which the wheels, tires, wheel bearings, and suspension elements were borrowed. Thanks to this, repairs to the vehicle and trailer while on the road could be carried out using the same tool. At the same time, there was no problem with the search and selection of spare parts and components.

An important characteristic of the MMZ-81021 was a unified towing device, which made it possible to operate the trailer with any vehicle. A big plus was the significant dimensions of the cargo platform, which were almost 1.85 meters long and 1.6 meters wide. Due to the sides with a height of 45 cm, it was possible to place a significant amount of cargo, the weight of which should not exceed 135...285 kg (depending on the make of the car). The tarpaulin awning on the MMZ-81021 was installed on special arches, which were included in the standard equipment of the trailer. Due to the awning, the useful internal volume of the trailer was 1200 liters, which was a very good indicator.

Models for transporting boats

The KMZ trailer can be used for transporting boats, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and so on. Such models are distinguished by a modified frame design, increased dimensions and load capacity.

For example, the Vodnik trailer, or KMZ-8213-03, can be used for transporting boats and jet skis. His weight is one hundred and sixty kilograms. At the same time, it is capable of transporting loads weighing five hundred and ninety kilograms. It has a spring-type suspension. Its dimensions are 3.1x1.7x0.8 meters. With such dimensions, it transports loads up to 4.2 meters long.

Modernization of the KMZ-012 tractor

Owners of domestic agricultural technicians have always tried to minimize factory defects or simply improve its performance and comfort by making their own changes to the design. KMZ-012 was no exception.

Replacing the hydraulic pump.

Often craftsmen make or adapt hydrostatic equipment not provided by the manufacturer, for example a front loader. In this case, the power of the standard NSh-6 is usually not enough, and the NSh-10 is installed. No special changes to the design are required.

Installation of a 3-section hydraulic distributor.

Like the previous modernization, it is necessary for working with hydrostatic equipment.

Installation of dual rear wheels.

Often, under heavy loads, the tractor slips and begins to dig in with its rear wheels. In this case, installing twin rear wheels can help. This increases the adhesion area, but the pressure on the ground is significantly reduced. The manufacturer does not provide for such modernization, so turning work is indispensable.

These are the most popular modifications found on KMZ-012. To describe them all, or at least go into detail about the ones presented, would require a separate article.

Transportation of snowmobiles and ATVs
