Overview of the truck URAL-4320

Cargo URAL-4320 is produced at the Ural Automobile Plant since the times of the USSR. During his entire period of existence (more than 30 years), he practically did not undergo technical changes, and remained the same all-terrain vehicle as before. Initially model 4320 was developed for transportation of various cargoes, people (modifications with bodywork "watch"), as well as towing cargo trailers on rough terrain.

Looking at the photo of the car, you can immediately see how high its ground clearance is. Indeed, the 36-centimeter clearance allows the car to move smoothly through two-meter ditches and fords without much effort. At the same time, the lifting angle of the truck is 60 percent. Contribute to this is not only the full drive and large wheels, but also a fashionable engine, which we'll talk about a little later.

Varieties

At the moment, the car factory produces a number of modifications of the Ural truck model 4320. These include 22-hour shift buses, and truck tractors, and even special oil and gas production units. In addition, military URALs and 30-seat buses are produced at the plant. And the model 4320 has successfully proved itself as a fire and municipal equipment, although the latter on our vast spaces almost does not exist.

It is worth noting the modification of the timber carrier. The URAL-4320 vehicle, thanks to its long frame, powerful engine and 6 x 6 drive, makes it possible to transport trees to any distance. Wide acceptance of timber trucks of this brand was obtained in Siberia, where there is almost no asphalt road, and dirt roads pass through rivers. URAL-4320, equipped with a crane-manipulator, can independently carry out loading and unloading of the goods in any place. Such machines are also in high demand.

Specifications

The car is equipped with three six-cylinder diesel engines with a capacity of 230, 240 and 250 horsepower, respectively. Such engines allow the car to transport goods with a total mass of more than 12 tons. Moreover, the technical characteristics of the truck make it possible to operate it at temperatures up to minus 45 degrees Celsius. And manned URAL-4320 5-speed manual transmission. Also in the car there is a transfer case and inter - axle differential lock .

As for fuel consumption, URAL-4320 does not have the best performance. Even at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, the machine spends at least 30 liters of diesel per "hundred". And if the car will be used on heavy soils, this figure can increase to 60 liters. Therefore, the car is almost never used as a truck for civilian needs, especially in the city.

URAL-4320: price

The minimum cost for this car in Russia is 1 million 700 thousand rubles. For this price you can only buy a chassis. Well, tilted trucks, equipped with a winch, are at least 180 thousand rubles more expensive. Modifications with an elongated frame and onboard platform cost about 2 million rubles.
