Ural 4320 is a workhorse respected by both military and civilian drivers.
They are used for the heaviest and most critical tasks, so they must not only be reliable but also have high load capacity and be easy to maintain. Of course, the cost of this equipment also plays a big role. In Russia, depending on the requirements of a particular company, you can purchase both domestic and foreign-made dump trucks.
Dump trucks manufactured abroad are good primarily for their load capacity. Moreover, they do not cause problems for owners during operation. There are usually no questions about the first point, but the second requires some clarification.
Most buyers make a mistake thinking that buying a dump truck of foreign assembly will be difficult. Quite the opposite! However, problems may arise later, and they are related, in particular, to the operation of such equipment in Russian conditions. It is not about bad roads and climate factors, but the fact that domestic companies often do not pay proper attention to what is written in the vehicle's technical passport. For example, it cannot be overloaded, but this is done everywhere, so do not be surprised that imported trucks break down time after time.
But our Urals or KamAZ trucks can easily handle oversized loads. Importantly, a broken domestic dump truck can be brought back to life even by an experienced driver, while an imported one will need to be taken to a service center, contacting the dealer in your region. All this leads to additional downtime, and therefore to lost profits.
In terms of price, domestic special equipment currently leads. Its advantages lie in extreme durability, availability of spare parts, ease of repair work, and inexpensive maintenance.
In recent years, the Ural 6563 dump truck – a 25-tonner that is fully suitable for the Russian climate and current road conditions – has sharply surged ahead in sales. It has gained particular popularity among companies that daily transport tons of bulk materials.
For example, the Ural 4320 will suit those who need equipment for all occasions. You can mount a dump truck on its chassis, as well as many add-ons. This will give the vehicle versatility.
