KAMAZ 43502. Vehicle specifications: engine, clutch, brakes
KAMAZ 43502 is a 2-axle chassis of universal type, its cyclic arrangement is 4 times 4; KAMAZ 43502 properties allow for the installation of special structures and a variety of devices.
This model was created as a result of the modernization of the Kamaz 4326. The vehicle was originally developed on the basis of an order from the Ministry of Defense, which needed equipment for border guards.
The result is a very successful product, so after a while Kamsky Plant began to produce the model for budgetary needs. Due to its low price, unpretentiousness and ability to assemble different designs (from loading platforms to elevators), the machine became popular.
Now the Kama plant continues to produce KAMAZ 43502. The Ministry of Defense uses special vehicles of the Mustang series. The functionality and cost of this model favorably distinguish it from its competitors.
KAMAZ 43502 series truck has several modifications.
Kamaz 43502-6023-45 (E-4) and the prototype has 4×4 base. Type of tires – 425/85R21, single, large diameter, with a system of pressure control in the chamber, which together help to solve problems with insufficient ground clearance; increase continuity when driving on the field, technological or snow-covered areas; increase the turning angle and thereby simplify the passage of obstacles. The engine and gearbox were taken over by the prototype without changing parameters. There are two fuel tanks of 210 liters each. The truck is also equipped with a windbreaker, awning and a frame. Kamaz 43502-6023-45 truck model is distinguished by a deep redesign and modernization of the cab over the engine. The loading platform is made of steel and if necessary the sides can be tilted back.
Flatbed KAMAZ 43502-6024-45 (E-4) has the same technical features as the previous KAMAZ 43502-6023-45. The only difference between them is that in this case there is no wind as a special equipment for self-extraction or solving the problem of stuck devices. This fact slightly reduces the functionality of the loader when it is necessary to overcome difficult places, if WheelMover fails.
KAMAZ 43502-3036-45 (E-4) chassis is used for installation of various special units: delivery vans, garbage trucks, air and fuel tankers, loading cranes, excavators, tankers, rotary machines, drilling machines, truck ladders, concrete mixers.
