KamAZ-4310 - a car with a military bearing

What first impressions come to mind when the phrase "military equipment" sounds? Power, strength, speed, pressure and others, emphasizing aggression and ferocity.

All these adjectives are completely suitable for the bright representative of the family of military vehicles KamAZ 4310.

The model is rather old. The beginning of the issue was laid back in 1981. The main customer and exploiter was the army of the USSR.

Since the 1990s, in connection with the expansion of sales markets, the so-called "commercial models" have begun to be produced and successfully sold, with numbers 43101, 43105 and 43106. The last two have increased the payload capacity by one ton.

In fact, they were the same KamAZ 4310, however, at the request of customers could be equipped with various additional devices. For example, there is no berth for the driver in the standard model . And why does it need military equipment?

For a commercial machine, it can be installed, and similar things, it is completely meaningless to list them, since there are lots of options.

The same situation is with the cabin heater. The only thing that private owners do not refuse is the winch. On this machine, it is a fairly powerful mechanism capable of pulling a multi-toned road train from dirt or moving a heavy load.

By the way, about road trains. To increase the coefficient of efficiency of use, quite often to the car hook the trailer. For the machines of this family of trailers there are two: 2PN-4M and GKB-8350.

In order to fully appreciate the beauty of this model, you need to see what it is. KamAZ 4310 technical characteristics are as follows:

• Carrying capacity from six to seven tons.
• The total mass fluctuates around fifteen and a half tons.
• Depending on the nature of the roadway, the total weight of the trailer varies from seven to ten tons.
• The maximum speed of movement is 85 kilometers per hour, in the case of a road train it is 80 kilometers.
• The braking distance at a speed of forty kilometers per hour is slightly more than seventeen meters. If the trailer - a meter more.
• The car can calmly overcome the ford in depths up to a meter. If you carry out preliminary training - up to one and a half.
• The average fuel consumption is about thirty liters. The power reserve is somewhere around 830 kilometers.

The KamAZ 4310 is equipped with a powerful low-speed diesel of two types. One produces 210 hp, the second - 220 hp.

The KamAZ 4310 transfer case deserves special respect. It represents a kind of bridge between the main transmission and the checkpoint. Its technical implementation allows you to direct maximum efforts to where they are needed, without exerting strong pressure on other mechanisms.

This KamAZ has a five-step "mechanics". By the way, the three bridges are leading, and the front is not turned off, with the rear options are possible.

KamAZ 4310 is a car with a large margin of reliability and maintainability. Permanent deliveries abroad, including to the countries of the African continent, where they reliably work in harsh conditions, are proof of this.

A lot of this equipment in other countries, where they regularly carry their service - are reliable assistants to a soldier and an entrepreneur.
