Car history

In the whole list of vehicles of the automobile enterprise in Kremenchug, the 260th tractor has a special place. Its development was started by the design staff in the early 1960s.

The most important conditions that were chosen for this model were durability and increased cross-country ability. The vehicle was positioned as a replacement for the KrAZ-255B. From the very beginning, the main buyers of the 260th vehicle were the military, but after that the truck began to be used in other areas.

In the mid-1960s, the design bureau of the automobile plant, under the direction of a senior designer (at that time he was V.V. Tabolin), began designing a brand new vehicle with increased cross-country ability.

During the design of the new product, specialists chose a three-axle version with increased load capacity as the base. But for a suitable “filling” more in-depth improvement was required.

As a result, both important components and the cabin were modified. The outdated metal-wood cabin was no longer in production. Work on the design of the leading truck, which would very soon become the ancestor of a considerable family of trucks, was completed in 1979. Production of the serial plan of the model began only after two years.

The technical characteristics of the car were quite high for its time. It made it possible to use a cargo vehicle for transporting military personnel, various cargo and military installations on any surface, even if it was off-road.

If we compare the model with its predecessor, the new product had many advantages. Thanks to extensive testing, it became clear that the speed limit was increased by 11 percent, the weight of transported cargo was increased by 20 percent, and fuel consumption was reduced by 6 percent. Operating resources have been almost doubled.

Despite the fact that the design staff decided to preserve the hood layout of the truck, the cab of the 260th model truck was moved forward, which can be seen in the diagram.

Thanks to this technique, it was possible to increase the length of the loading platform, which thus increased the vehicle’s carrying capacity by one and a half tons. In addition, the designers reduced the length of the hood and increased visibility from the cab.

They decided to borrow the new all-metal three-seater cabin not from anyone else, but from the 250th model of the Kremenchug Automobile Plant. If you compare it with many army vehicles of that time, it has an acceptable level of comfort, as well as modern performance.

On top of that, the cabin has modern ventilation and heating systems, and there is also a sprung driver’s seat with the ability to customize it to the individual needs of each person.

Installation of a seat belt is also provided. The standard body is a military-style metal platform, where you can open the tailgate. Its design capabilities include lattice-type auxiliary sides.

There you can find the presence of reclining seats and the possibility of mounting an awning. There are many examples of KrAZ 260 photos on the network, as well as an instruction manual.

The all-wheel drive timber truck KrAZ-6437 with a carrying capacity of 30.5 tons with a two-axle trailer-dissolution GKB-9871 for transporting trees and logs 24-30 meters long was presented at the exhibition of automotive equipment "Avtoprom-84", dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the Soviet automobile industry[2][ 3]. Serial production of the KrAZ-6437 began in 1987[4].

In 1993, 238 KrAZ-6437 timber trucks were produced[5].

Application of the model

The 260th model of the Kremenchug Automobile Plant is a universal truck. In addition to the military field, such a machine is widely used in the national economy.

The truck has become popular due to its good cross-country ability under different road conditions. The 260th is a complex of a tractor with an all-terrain vehicle that can transport cargo weighing up to 10 tons.

The vehicle is used to transport S-200 and S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems, and also perfectly transports passengers and large cargo to hard-to-reach regions.

Due to its reliable qualities and ease of use, the KrAZ-260 vehicle is used not only on domestic soil, but also abroad, because the vehicle has established itself as a universal model, the technical component of which is simply excellent. The catalog on the Internet contains a tractor and a dump truck, which are often used for military purposes and in various quarries.

The truck has a turning radius of 13 meters, as well as a possible maximum forced fording depth of 1.2 meters. This makes it one of the most passable domestic cars.

KrAZ-269V truck tractors were in considerable demand. At the back of the truck there is a shortened frame and a fifth-wheel coupling device, with which the vehicle could tow semi-trailers weighing more than 27.5 tons on a city highway and 23 tons on a dirt road.

Such trucks were often used by military units, as road trains, for installations of launchers and anti-aircraft missile systems, radar stations and other things. The extended chassis, which became standard for the design of various special equipment, acquired the name 260G.

On its platform they were able to install pontoon vehicles, bridge-building machines, cranes and drilling rigs, desalination stations, fuel tankers, and so on.

The design staff of the enterprise also developed prototypes of a timber truck, which is very similar to similar special transport, on the 255L platform. But serial production could not be established, and a little later, for the needs of forestry production, a specialized KrAZ-6437 was produced.

Specifications

Power unit

The car, taking into account serious improvements, needed a more powerful engine. As a result, we chose the eight-cylinder V-shaped 15-liter multi-fuel engine YaMZ-238L, which was turbocharged. The engine developed 300 horsepower.

The car was often used in difficult road conditions, therefore, an innovative system was used in the engine design, which included automatic dust extraction and a pair of air filters with a two-stage cleaning system.

Exhaust gas exhaust systems have also been modernized. Instead of a muffler, a supercharger turbine was installed here.

Engine YaMZ-238L

To ensure engine starting in cold times, the motor received a “Thermostart” electric torch device and a pre-start heater. The location of the motor cannot be called too convenient, since to remove the power unit it is necessary to dismantle the cabin.

The high-pressure fuel pump was 8-sectional and had a spool type, which included a low-pressure fuel priming pump, a fuel injection advance clutch and an all-mode speed controller. The nozzles are closed type.

The KrAZ 260 engine consumed about 34 liters of fuel at a speed of about 50 km/h. At a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, consumption increased to 38.5 liters per 100 kilometers.

In total, two tanks were installed, each of which contained 165 liters (a total of 330 liters), and there was also an auxiliary one - its volume was 50 liters of diesel fuel. If the car was fully refueled, it could travel up to 1,000 kilometers.

The speed limit is limited to 80 kilometers per hour. Don’t forget what kind of car this is and for what purposes it was created. Then fuel consumption and questions about its dynamics fade into the background.

Transmission

Due to the fact that a stronger engine was installed in the KrAZ-260, the installation of a more advanced gearbox was required. Therefore, the model had a four-speed YaMZ-238B transmission, which had synchronizers at all forward speeds.

The changes also affected the two-stage transfer case, which had an electro-pneumatic speed control and made it possible to lock the center differential by pressing the required switch. The latter could be found on the instrument panel.

The clutch is a dry, double-disc type, with peripheral springs and a hydropneumatic actuation drive. From the 255B car, we decided to take a more reliable front axle, which was slightly modified. The middle bridge was made by the design staff, passable.

Suspension

The suspension installed in front is dependent, and has a base - a pair of semi-elliptical springs and shock absorbers, the ends of the springs are installed in rubber cushions of the support brackets.

The suspension installed at the rear is dependent, has a base - a pair of semi-elliptical springs, where there are six reaction rods, and the ends of the springs are made of a sliding type. The ground clearance height is as much as 370 millimeters. An all-wheel drive system is provided, which allows the vehicle to have good off-road performance.

Brake system

A working brake system is used, which has drum mechanisms and a dual-circuit pneumatic drive. One circuit goes to the front and middle axles, and the second to the rear.

When the parking brake is applied, the spring energy accumulators begin to work. The drive is pneumatic. The spare brake is combined with the parking brake. The additional brake is a motor retarder, and the activation drive is pneumatic.

Steering

On the steering mechanism, there is a hydraulic power steering wheel, which makes it possible to steer such a massive vehicle without much effort. The device has a screw and a ball nut-rack, which is engaged with the gear sector.

There is also an amplifier distributor. The power cylinder of the power steering was connected to the double-arm steering knuckle lever. There are many additional characteristics of the KrAZ 260 on the Internet.

Specifications

Cons of the car

• High fuel consumption;
• Insufficient visibility;
• Large dimensions;
• Noisiness;
• The salon is still far from its European counterparts;
• The KrAZ 260 cabin is already outdated.

Let's sum it up

The KrAZ-260 turned out to be very balanced and powerful. Its domestic counterparts had a much weaker power unit. Perhaps this is why KrAZ trucks were often used to transport heavy equipment, such as tanks.

Moreover, the model has received a respectable ground clearance, which, together with the all-wheel drive system on all six wheels, provides the vehicle with simply excellent cross-country ability.

It is not for nothing that most of the vehicles are used for the needs of the army, where reliability, unpretentiousness, power and maneuverability are precisely what is required. Despite the fact that the car was created for off-road use, it was not deprived of comfort. The model received a hydraulic power steering wheel, a heating and ventilation system, and an adjustable driver's seat.

It is clear that during development at the Kremenchug Automobile Plant they did not think only about cross-country ability and power, but took care of ensuring a fairly good level of comfort. The car is not afraid of overloads, so it is often used as reliable workers in various quarries and loess production.

Of course, the engine eats a lot, but there is enough power to transport even a very heavy load. Single wheels equipped with off-road tires will help you get out of almost any off-road situation. You can no longer buy a new car, but it is often purchased second-hand, since its price is much lower than its European counterparts.

Technical characteristics, photos of KrAZ 255 and 64372 timber trucks

A timber carrier is a freight vehicle designed to transport logs and lumber. Such a machine is mounted on a chassis with special settings. In most cases, timber trucks are equipped with an all-wheel drive system, which increases the vehicle's cross-country ability. Thanks to this, the functional potential of the machine tends to expand. Among the manufacturers of such equipment, the KrAZ plant deserves special attention.

Timber trucks KrAZ

Trucks for transporting timber of this brand are produced at the Kremenchug Automobile Plant. The company has been producing trucks since 1958. Until this point, the organization functioned as a bridge manufacturer. In 1956 and 1957, the company specialized in the production of agricultural machinery. In particular, corn harvesters and beet loaders were supplied to conveyor production.

Today KrAZ is engaged in the production of various cargo vehicles. Many models collected here are supplied to the armed forces of different countries. The timber trucks presented by this construction company stand out qualitatively against the background of competitive models. Such vehicles have a high potential for cross-country ability, thanks to which they are able to easily deliver cargo under any conditions.

Advantages and disadvantages

KrAZ timber trucks are distinguished by a high level of maneuverability and the ability to operate in various conditions. With maximum carrying capacity, we can talk about the efficiency of the vehicle. Thanks to the hood design, KrAZ timber trucks are ideal for logging work. The machine's cabin is located behind the engine, which is a good solution from the point of view of ensuring passive safety. In addition, the level of vibrations in the driver's seat is minimized. This method of placing the power plant also facilitates engine maintenance and repair work.

Separately, attention should be paid to the advantages of the implemented design solutions, which give the timber truck maximum strength and reliability. Thus, the spar frame is made of hot rolled channel. Thickened walls and powerful frame cross members make the entire structure as resistant to various loads as possible.

Bridges with cast beams are additionally reinforced. The gearboxes are equipped with reliable gears that are designed for maximum torque. The front and rear suspension are also reinforced, making it possible to overcome the most difficult road sections.

Among the problematic issues, you should pay attention to the hydraulic system installed in the brakes. Under intense maximum loads, it is not capable of operating for a long period of time. In this case, the problem is resolved quite simply - by installing components of the best quality. You can find them without any problems.

It should also be noted the low quality of standard tires. Standard tires are largely not designed for use on paved surfaces. For this reason, at the beginning of each season, it is advisable to carry out work on installing new tires.

Design features

The front suspension of KrAZ timber trucks is made on semi-elliptical longitudinal springs. The latter are equipped with double-acting telescopic shock absorbers. The rear suspension has a balancing design.

KrAZ timber trucks have different wheel arrangements - 6x4 or 6x6. Each of the bridges is unified. These elements have balanced axle shafts and a two-stage gearbox. The front axle is equipped with constant velocity joints. The need to use these elements is due to the possibility of transmitting torque to the drive wheels during a turn. The main design feature of the middle wheel axle is the presence of a special platform used to install an intermediate driveshaft support for the rear axle.

The power plant used may have different performance characteristics. In most cases, the engine is eight-cylinder. Two valves are installed on each cylinder.

The friction-type double-disc clutch is equipped with cylindrical pressure springs. The motor is aggregated by mechanical gearboxes with fixed shaft axles. Additionally, constant mesh gears are installed here.

The steering system of the vehicle is equipped with a piston-type hydraulic booster. The presence of this element facilitates the process of driving a vehicle.

The brake system of timber trucks is drum-type. Additionally, a pneumatic drive is installed, which helps to increase the reliability of the brakes. Also part of the braking system is a compression-type engine retarder and a parking brake.

Most models are equipped with an all-wheel drive system, which, in combination with short overhangs and a powerful power plant, ensures maximum vehicle cross-country ability. Timber trucks can be operated under different temperature conditions. This becomes possible thanks to the presence of an engine preheater.

Review of popular models

In the model range presented by the Kremenchug Automobile Plant, there are various modifications of timber trucks. The operational characteristics of machines designed for transporting lumber and logs are determined by their design features.

KrAZ-64372

The KrAZ 64372 timber tractor is used to transport logging materials along roads with different surface qualities. This model is available in two different modifications. When using identical power plants, the machines have different dimensions. As a result, we can talk about different operational potential of cars.

Both models have a 6x6 wheel arrangement and a hooded cab layout. Thanks to the last point, passive safety indicators are improved. Timber trucks are equipped with a comfortable driver's seat, which is adjustable according to the driver's wishes. The windshield of the car is made of separate sections. This moment negatively affects the quality of visibility.

The 64372 timber truck is equipped with a 14.86-liter power plant capable of producing 330 hp. The car has good dynamic characteristics.

Type 2 timber truck can accelerate to 72 km/h. Another variation of the model is capable of reaching speeds of up to 80 km/h. This becomes possible thanks to the lightweight weight of the vehicle.

The front and rear parts are equipped with a dependent balance-type suspension, which is mounted on semi-elliptical leaf springs. The brake system is equipped with drum-type mechanisms.

Technical characteristics of the KrAZ-64372 timber truck:

KrAZ-255

The KrAZ 255 is a legendary model, on the basis of which a large number of modifications were created. The car is produced with three drive axles. Model 255 B is a general purpose machine.

The vehicle is based on the KrAZ 214 B model. The KrAZ 255 B is equipped with a diesel version of the power plant. The presence of a special device designed to regulate tire pressure levels deserves special attention. As a result, the vehicle's cross-country ability significantly increases.

Photo of timber truck KrAZ-255

The 255V model is primarily used on paved roads. The main difference from the model described above is the absence of a power take-off and winch. KrAZ 255 L is necessary when transporting trunks with crowns on hard-surface roads.

For off-road transportation of goods, it is most advisable to use modifications 255 B1 or a 255 D tractor. A characteristic feature of the 255 B1 model is the use of a dual-circuit brake system drive.

Model 255 B can be additionally equipped with a platform for transporting goods. The presence of a winch makes it easier to load heavy indivisible cargo.
