How to choose the right trailer for Gazelle?

The profitability of freight traffic on small commercial vehicles can be significantly increased (sometimes even 2 times) under one condition - a separate trailer is purchased for the car. For "Gazelle", for example, it can be one-, two-, or even three-axis versions with different heights, lengths and performance characteristics. The complexity of the correct choice is also due to a wide variety of the presented equipment, which is sold both in the new state and used. Today we will try to solve this problem and consider all the important criteria, considering which, you can buy a really lucrative trailer for the "Gazelle". Be sure - it will pay off in no time.

Load-carrying capacity and platform length

To date, small-sized designs that have the same platform dimensions as the truck itself are very popular. Such a trailer for Gazelle has the following cargo space dimensions: length of 3 meters, width of 2 meters and height of 1.6 meters. If you combine these three dimensions, you can get a pretty good useful volume - 8 cubic meters. Ideally, its load-carrying capacity should not exceed a mark of 1.5 tons. The cost of such an adaptation will be about one hundred thousand rubles. Trailer for "Gazelle" bu will cost about 2 times less. But the state of its aggregates (in particular suspension) will not be as good as the new one.

The two-axle trailer for Gazelle with a total capacity of 12 cubic meters is ideal for long modifications. This can be GAZ-33021 cars with a body length from 4 to 4.5 meters. As for the trailer itself, the ideal dimensions for it are: length of 4.2 meters, width of 2.05 meters and height of 1.6-2 meters. Thanks to such a road train, the profitability of your company will increase almost 2 times, because in fact the volume of "Gazelle" increases to 28 cubic meters, and the load-carrying capacity - up to three tons. Moreover, the trailer does not "eat" gasoline and at the same time fully transport the goods. Its cost does not exceed the mark of 110 thousand rubles (several times cheaper than the cost of the truck GAZ-3302), so pay off such a road train for a year and a half.

Tent or refrigerator?

There is no single answer to this question. It all depends on what kind of cargo you will transport. If you cooperate with a company for the production of semi-finished products, of course, it is better to choose a refrigerator. Well, if you carry out transportation of a different nature and do not know what kind of cargo will fall next time, choose, of course, the tent. The latter type is more versatile, as, unlike the refrigerator, it is quite possible to put metal rolling on it (at the top loading). But for the transport of frozen fish and meat, then you can not count.

Wheel size

And the last nuance to which you should pay attention is the diameter of the wheels. More often the trailer for "Gazelle" has 13-16 inch wheels. Ideally, it is better to purchase designs with the size of wheels your truck has. In the case of the GAZ-3302, the tire diameter should be about 14-16 inches, but not more. Then problems with the choice of parts (that is, tires), you definitely will not.
