"GAZelle" is very popular in Russia and the CIS car. It relates to commercial transport and has been released in ' 94. Now to produce “Business” and “Next”. In the car has changed a lot – engine, cabin, body. But what remained unchanged is the frame ‘gazelles’. Dimensions, photos and description, see in our today's article.
In many European light-duty trucks, the carrier element is the body itself. It brings together a number of power elements-spars, on which rests the entire load. But if to consider the Russian "GAZelle" things are different here. Even on the vans frame is established. What to say – “Sable”, which, in fact, is not a truck, and then built on the frame. This is a classic example of building cars. Initially, it was practiced on the cars. But gradually, from this design began to evolve. Now frames equipped with some SUVs and commercial vehicles with a lifting capacity of fifteen tons and more. Thus, Rama ‘gazelles" (photos of her you can see above) is its supporting element. On the frame are mounted all the critical elements in car:
Among other things, to the frame mounted tow hooks and buffer, which hits the beam in the case of large suspension stroke. Therefore, this element must meet high requirements and be resistant to stress.
The frame is Made ‘gazelles" thick steel. Combines two wide channel. On them then secured attachments. But to provide the structure rigidity (including torsion), there were cross-beams in the form of a flexible tube. You can see in the photo frames ‘gazelles’. The size of these crossbars are the same front and rear. Also, except for tubes between channels is a subframe. The two of them. The first is used for attaching the motor, the second – to support the transmission. The latter also have rubber buffers. They serve for damping oscillations that can be transmitted to the frame and body as the vehicle. There are still suspended for the propeller shaft.It is a little on the transmission. Also, the channels are holes. They serve for fixing the cab on the rubber buffers of the brake pipe and among other things - of the suspension. Springs are attached to the earrings. For the damping provided by the shock absorbers. Their upper part is connected directly with the frame (both front and back). There are holes and for fastening the fuel tank. But the body itself is connected with ladders. They pressed against the base body to the frame, but not fastened to the channel. As a buffer between the channel and the bottom of the body there is a wooden beam. He strongly absorbs shocks that occur when driving on uneven roads and does not allow the body to crawl on the surface of the frame. Otherwise it would have worn off after a couple of years.

Oil consumption in the engine. Six reasons

Consider the design of a standard frame which was placed on the "GAZelle" 94. So, the total length of the carrier element is of 4.84 m, width-1,12 m, the height together with cross members – 0,29 meters. What is the weight of the frame itself ‘gazelles"? Her weight is 128 pounds. The element is designed for installation triple cabin and 3-meter body. The Maximum length of the booth can be 3.2 meters. But some ignore this parameter and set the 3.5-metre body on the frame without lengthening. This is wrong. First, a large overhang. Increases the load on the rear axle. The machine becomes less stable on the road. Secondly, it reduces the maneuverability of the vehicle. Producing any movement, it's easy to catch a body on a nearby car or other object. Frame length 5.85 meter is already designed to fit a 4-foot-tall body.
The Principle of lengthening the standard frame is pretty simple. With the machine removed all attachments – tanks, body, transmission, driveshaft. There is only the cabin, bridge and engine. Then a channel is cut in three places. Two go between rear axle and cab, and the latter – “tail”. Then the frame is set more than a long channel. It is overlapped and secured by rivets, bolts or welding. Then the whole structure is going back. Is box, fuel tanks. Remains only the body and the shaft. Instead, put a longer, or increase the size according to the same principle.
The owners of commercial vehicles think about increasing the carrying capacity of their vehicles. Because for heavier loads, the rate is much higher. But to change the car to more lifting – is expensive. Yes and not always there are such orders. The Optimal way – strengthening of the factory frame ‘gazelles’. Width and length it stays the same. But the thickness of channels – more. The essence of amplification is to install morethick beams on the factory item. The channel are connected by bolts or welding.
The Usual 3-meter "GAZelle" has a load capacity of fifteen tons. In order to strengthen a frame is to increase this parameter. The owners expect that the "GAZelle" can carry 2,5 tons and more. Yes, reinforced frame is now unlikely to burst. But do not forget about the other elements. In particular, this rear axle, suspension and grip. The latter is particularly worn when reloading. Volgovskoe standard box is not designed for such tonnage. The clutch disc can be easily burned. Also suffers, and the mission itself. The bridge is also exposed to stress. Tires burst when hitting the hole. Proceeding from all this, we can conclude that even with a reinforced frame "GAZelle" is not able to carry more than the number specified in the TCP. By the way, on the 4-meter versions nominal capacity for 100-150 kgs less than the 3-metre-high (extended body – and increasing curb weight). Thus, the increase of this parameter by welding on new channels – a questionable decision. If you take the goods, light and bulky. For the amount the customer pays a significant fee. There are cases when an extra long 5-meter "GAZelle" took the cargo (type of foam) at the rates of 5-ton crane. This is the only harmless for the truck method to increase profits. But also worth noting, and windage. At the height of body more than 2.3 meters the flow rate never falls below 20 liters per hundred on the 405-m motor.
So, we found that a frame is ‘gazelles’. Hardly the Gorky automobile plant will integrate it in the body of “Next”. Therefore, this design will live for a very long time. Frame because when used properly, has a high durability and reliability. And for those who want to travel at a higher rate, you should think about increasing the volume of the booth, not on the strengthening of the frame.
