"BAT-M" is an engineering car of the road class

They say that Russia has always had the most powerful military equipment. So they talk not only about machines used for combat operations, but also about servicing devices. A striking example and undeniable confirmation of this is the caterpillar overpasser "BAT-M"!

Even in this seemingly pretty ordinary car, the Russian spirit is reflected. Approaching this device, one involuntarily marvels at its huge size, and looking closer, you marvel at the absurdities. It seems that there are caterpillars - that means, a tank, but then you see the top of the car, reminiscent of trucks from old Soviet films. The traveler "BAT-M" is an approximate example of Soviet constructivism!

He looks great and strong not only from the outside. With its technical characteristics, it is in no way inferior to a powerful tank.

Characteristics of the tracker

Created especially for global ideas and ideas, an assistant in cleaning and construction of giant scales, the overpasser "BAT-M", with its mass of 275 centners, i.e., 27.5 tons, is equipped with a large (if in this scale it is possible at all Comparison) tank for fuel (maximum capacity of 0.9 tons), which ensures the performance of our "beast" up to 15 hours. And this is only a small part of the information about him.

"BAT-M", the technical characteristics of which are more like a tank than a tractor, very powerful. Just think: 305 horsepower, and thanks to the airtight cabin and filter, the machine can work in conditions of infections and in clouds of a wide variety of toxic gases! This is what makes it possible to use the overpasser in almost all conditions.

"BAT-M" specifications are very impressive. This design also includes a huge bucket (if you can call it that), capable of working in 3 basic positions, namely: in bulldozer, two-hopper and grader. In all working modes, the bucket has a different width - 5 meters, 4.5 meters and 4 meters. It would seem that this is all, enough. But no, it is possible to regulate not only certain certain positions of the bucket, but also its height, that is, it is possible to raise and lower it, and this is an important "option". Moreover, at the disposal of "BAT-M" there is a powerful load-lifting crane, capable to lift neither much nor little, but 2 tons! The tap itself is controlled from a remote control panel, which allows one person not to concentrate only on controlling the unit, but also perform some other feasible duties. In general, it can be noted that "BAT-M" is a real find for those who like universal and powerful technique.

Since the release of the "beast" to our time

If you remember the beginning of the release of these monsters, and this was in 1966, then you can compare "BAT-M" with Nikola Tesla, saying that the car was ahead of its time, and even then it was not so needed as it is now. If we now consider the market that modern manufacturers of machines of this kind offer to us, then none of them can compete with BAT-M in terms of functionality, not to mention the prices for such products, though indispensable, but rare enough.

Reliable antiquity "BAT-M"

Remembering the year of production, you can call these machines retired, dinosaurs, remnants of the past, but as a counterbalance we can only give one, but very subtle argument. What can we say if more than 50 years from the beginning of production of this technology did not come up with a machine more convenient to use?

Is it relevant?

Model "BAT-M" is also relevant in our time. You can talk a lot about her merits from the technical side as equipment, but do not forget about its advantages as a means of exploitation: a roomy cabin, where comfortably can accommodate two adults, and because of the engine under the cabin, the problem of heating the cabin to a cold winter time.

On the part of people who were very close to this unusual machine (and this is the service personnel and the exploit drivers), one can get surprisingly unanimous feedback. "BAT-M", whose work has not left anyone unhappy, receives only good marks from consumers.

Advantages of an overpasser

"BAT-M" is an engineering machine that belongs to the road class. Usually, trenches, ditches, funnels, paving roads, clearing roads from debris of buildings or dig trenches are covered with it. The basis for this rasprokladchika designed by the designers of the tractor "AT-T". This machine is capable of traveling at speeds up to 35 km / h, and its advantage is the reliable sealing of the cabin. In order to carry out the installation of the working body in the grader, bulldozer or two-stall position, it is necessary to work with a hydraulic drive. Thanks to the crane equipment, this machine has a powerful load-carrying capacity, and it can be controlled using a remote control.

Pros of buying "BAT-M"

With the help of a powerful winch, the machine can pull out of the mud not only other, third-party equipment, but itself, and this is a big plus in the direction of buying this technique. The next unit in this line ("BT-2") is more cumbersome and less agile, therefore it is BAT-M that is more convenient to operate. The caterpillar course also applies to obvious pluses: thanks to this, the overpasser can travel almost everywhere, but due to the width of the tracks, it does not fall "underground" in unstable areas. The machine is very reliable, durable and reliable in all conditions. "BAT-2" differs from it by the presence of a sapper compartment, and this model is semi-armored. "BAT-M" is more agile, not so long and less bulky.
