KRAZ truck
KrAZ (Ukrainian: Кременчуцький автомобільний завод, Kremenchutskyi Avtomobilnyi Zavod, Kremenchuk Automobile Plant, АвтоКрА́З or AvtoKrAZ) is a Ukrainian factory that produces trucks and other special-purpose vehicles in Kremenchuk, Ukraine; particularly heavy-duty off-road models
KrAZ-256 is a Soviet dump truck, which replaced earlier Yaaz and KrAZ-222 trucks in 1966. Everything in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which also included the automotive industry, was under the control of the Communist Party.
The vehicle became the debut postwar heavy-duty vehicle. Due to its massive size, it was almost not used in the city, but it still works in quarries, mining and oil producing enterprises. The model was produced for 11 years, after which KAMAZs moved our giant a little bit back.
Vehicle production was established in 1986, but out of the 18 vehicles that had appeared at that time, not a single copy survived to our time. However, in the automotive market there is an opportunity to find cars that were produced in the debut 11 years. The truck has a large payload, a large mass of components (as most parts were made of cast iron), as well as high cross-country ability. The whole model range is KrAZ.
The Kremenchug facility was built from the start to produce heavy-duty trucks. Initially, machine 222, which was named “Dnepr-222”, was produced during 1950s of XX century. Six years later, the KrAZ-256 was demonstrated, which acquired the best developments of the 222nd model. The truck was used at the quarries or on a large-scale construction site. The main body was a bucket-type dump truck, where there were no tailsides. Also on this platform there were made on-board modifications of the trucks, but because of some moments these vehicles were not further developed.
Over the 11 years of production, the 256th model has undergone some upgrades, but the changes have mainly concerned only the cab and hood. The main body was not changed. The machine has been recognized many times as simple and unpretentious. In addition, it is quite strong. However, it was also not very easy to operate the truck model, as it required considerable physical strength. Over these short years, the conveyor belt was able to produce many cars that had the same parameters.
