Chassis KAMAZ-43114 is used to install add-ons for various purposes. The most common truck in the military and oil refining areas. Easily installed various weapons, residential units, tanks and other equipment.
general information
This model is engaged in a high place in the list of the entire range of Kama automobile plant. The military choose this truck because of its wheel formula (6x6), due to which it is possible to overcome off-road. The development of 43114 began in the 89th year of the last century with model 43101.
Starting the production of the car was planned in the early 1990s, but the financial crisis and disintegration of the USSR that had arisen pushed plans for several years. Until 1996, the designers had time to make some more changes to the design of the truck, resulting in a finished high-quality product.
The all-metal cabin has good dimensions, plenty of space inside and a high ceiling. Under it is the motor cars. The power of the power unit allows it to reach speeds of up to 90 km / h. The truck easily goes ups with a slope of no more than 30%. Turning radius is 11 m.
Technical characteristics and high permeability allowed the car to take part in the Dakar rally competition - as a maintenance vehicle. As already mentioned, it is very popular in the Russian Armed Forces. There are special civil modifications for maintenance of business areas.
Some versions are equipped with a durable winch. With it, you can tow stuck cars, as well as the truck itself, if it does not pass any obstacle. Auto originally designed for military use, so it meets all military requirements for quality and reliability.
Two main versions are distributed - chassis and flatbed truck. In the civilian environment, the second option is used, which is capable of carrying loads weighing up to 6 tons, as well as trailers with a hook-and-loop coupler weighing up to 12 tons. You can transport bulk materials, building materials and bulky substances.
For comfortable work, the drivers manufacturer has provided all-wheel drive, high ground clearance and good handling. When ordering a truck at the factory, you could choose the following additional functions:
- Benches for people;
- Safety cage;
- Awning with frame;
- Winch for towing.
High strength and a large supply of working resource achieved through cooperation with the best manufacturers in the world who supplied components for the assembly of 43114. The machine won in many respects from the old versions:
- Modern design;
- Improved reliability;
- No need for frequent technical inspection;
- Reduced fuel consumption KAMAZ-43114;
- Environmentally friendly motor.
For safety, the transport is equipped with numerous monitoring and control systems. Loading is simplified by the ability to tilt the sides of the body. The platform itself was made of durable steel, so it is not afraid of mechanical effects during the loading process. Many materials, compared with previous generations, have been replaced by more durable. At the same time the mass of the car was not increased.
KAMAZ-43114 is used to transport goods of various categories on the ground and off-road. Technical units operate at low and high temperatures, do not break due to sudden temperature changes. Repair is carried out in specialized auto repair shops that are in every big city of Russia.
Machine device
The power unit is a modernized KAMAZ 740, supplemented by turbocharging. At 2200 rpm, the motor develops 225 horsepower. Torque is 912 Nm, it is achieved at 1500 revolutions per minute. While the engine is running, the air is partially cooled.
The volume of the power plant - 10.85 liters. It has eight cylinders, which are located V-shaped. For the comfort of the driver and passengers, it is treated with a soundproofing cap, due to which the noise level in the cabin is reduced. Preheater helps to start the car without any problems in the cold season, even after a long period of inactivity.
The design provides two tanks: 170 and 125 liters. Special versions offer two tanks of 210 liters. This amount is enough for long trips without refueling. The fuel consumption of KAMAZ-43114 is 36 liters per 100 km. Under some conditions, there are deviations from the average:
- With incomplete loading, the flow rate will be 30.5 liters;
- In winter, consumption is 31.2 liters;
- In the summer, consumed 34.3 liters.
The machine is equipped with a five-speed gearbox with mechanical and remote control. The gearbox has a central drive, the distributing number is 6.53. The work of the gearbox is complemented by a dual-disc dry clutch. Bumps and other irregularities of the road surface are not felt due to the spring suspension.
Salon has become more spacious. This was achieved by increasing the overall dimensions and height of the ceiling. In different versions, the number of beds may vary - from one to three. The cabin has a hydraulic lift function.
Safe movement at night is possible due to high-quality lighting devices. The headlights are securely fixed in the buffer, also for the vision of the size of the car by other drivers on the sides installed side lights. In the event of a breakdown of one of the lighting devices, the driver in the cabin receives a notification signal.
The body fits 18 cubic meters of cargo. The length of the platform is 4.8 meters and the width is 2.32 meters. The boards, whose heights are 0.5 meters, are made of high-strength steel and tend to recline.
The exhaust system has been completely reworked by experienced engineers. No condensation can occur inside the engine, nor can it get into the turbocharger pipe. This result was achieved thanks to the special location of the exhaust pipe. Exhaust gases are directed in the opposite direction from the air entering the engine. This approach eliminated the possibility of contamination of the power unit.
Specifications
On the basis of the chassis-43114 was made many modifications that did not have significant differences. The most common is the 15 modification, capable of carrying loads weighing up to 6.1 tons. The length of its platform is 4.8 meters and its width is 2.3 meters. All versions are equipped with all-wheel drive.
The car can move as part of a train, the weight of which does not exceed 27.5 tons. Such high performance was achieved through the use of experienced professionals in the assembly and high-quality parts. At the request of the buyer at the factory can install additional functions (winch, awning, etc.).
Car KAMAZ-43114 is considered a civilian version of military transport. He is characterized by the same characteristics and high strength, he is able to overcome off-road, deep water barriers and obstacles of medium height. In the army, cars are used to transport soldiers, weapons and other goods, but sometimes they install various specialized equipment on the chassis.
What can be concluded?
KamAZ-43114 is another successful product of truck engineering in Russia. He served a great role in the formation of the army, performed many important tasks. On the basis of this chassis was released a new, more durable and reliable. Since 2008, mass production has been stopped, now the issue of government orders is gradually being closed.
The average price of a car in the secondary market is 2 million rubles. The maximum price tag can reach 3.5 million rubles - it depends on the installed add-in. The cost depends on the technical and external conditions of transport, as well as on the year of manufacture, mileage and the date of the last overhaul.
