It will be easy to find any part, and the cost of "consumables" will be minimal! Light all-terrain vehicle on tires low pressure- it's really reliable car, inexpensive to operate and bringing its owner the joy of good cross-country ability and sufficient carrying capacity to solve work tasks.

The lion's share of the parts of the swamp-going vehicle are components and assemblies borrowed from serial cars of foreign and Russian production... They are sold in almost every specialty store. Besides original parts can always be purchased from the manufacturer at affordable prices.

Some more reasons to buy Myl

  • Snow and swamp-going vehicles on wheels ultra low pressure Tver plant "AVTOROS" are intended for the transportation of goods off-road. It is the ideal workhorse for those who value reliability and simplicity.
  • The swamp vehicle for hunting and fishing has dimensions that are optimal for driving on Russian roads: its length is 5.8 meters, and its width is 2.5 meters. High ground clearance (40 centimeters) allows you not to be afraid of any obstacles. On the highway, Mule is capable of moving at speeds of up to 85 kilometers per hour.
  • A swamp vehicle with a diesel engine is very economical: for every 100 kilometers on the highway, it consumes only fifteen liters of fuel, off-road consumption is no more than 22 liters per 100 kilometers. The capacity of two tanks is 128 liters, while you can order a car with an increased fuel tanks(100 liters each).
  • The wheeled snow and swamp vehicle can be equipped with a system for automatically maintaining the required tire pressure. This is extremely convenient for the driver, as it allows you not to waste time manipulating the wheels when road conditions change.

As you can see, the Mule is an ideal vehicle for any terrain. Its capacity is 128 Horse power and the maximum torque reaches 297 Nm. Mechanical five-speed gearbox gearshifts are familiar to every driver, and the steering wheel is equipped with a hydraulic booster, so it will be easy and pleasant to drive the car in any road conditions.

Russian 4-wheeled Mule all-terrain vehicles can be equipped with additional options you need, for example, a power window system, a radio tape recorder. This opportunity allows you to choose exactly what is more important for you personally.

Snow and swamp-going vehicles are a very useful device that is needed not only for villagers, but also for fishing / hunting enthusiasts. After precipitation falls, most of the country roads become, to put it mildly, impassable, and on some of them even Niva will not be able to pass. The only salvation in such cases can be an all-terrain vehicle with low-pressure tires, designed just for such difficult driving conditions.

Snow and swamp vehicles are versatile all-terrain vehicles for which there are almost no obstacles

What are such snow and swamp-going vehicles?

Numerous videos emphasize the patency of this miracle technology. So, in the video below, you can clearly see that for the described all-terrain vehicles there are no obstacles in principle.

And without a difference, rocky terrain, swampy or sandy - the snow and swamp-going vehicle will perfectly cope with it, mainly thanks to these very wheels.

Note! It has been proven that the maximum permeability of this type of equipment is achieved under conditions when the area of ​​the flat part of the tire in contact with the surface corresponds to 1/3 or 1/4 of the diameter of the tire itself.

As a result, the pressure on the surface under the weight of the vehicle is minimized. Moreover, if the pressure in the tires exceeds the pressure on their surface, then plastic deformation disappears. On such surfaces, the car simply will not be able to move, therefore, the pressure is reduced (within reason, of course).

Design features

A distinctive feature of all representatives of the class of technology under consideration is that their frame is articulated. It is thanks to this that the wheels are able to be located at almost any angle (not exceeding the indicator provided for by the design) in relation to the rest. And this, in turn, significantly increases the cross-country ability of snow and swamp vehicles. This frame also reduces the risk of the car turning over on its side, which is extremely important in extreme driving conditions - for example, on rocky ground.

ATVs can have two or three bridges, the specific number depends on the operating conditions. The engine can be of two types:

  • diesel;
  • carburetor.

If the car will be used for hunting, then it is better to give preference to the second option.

Varieties of all-terrain vehicles on low-pressure wheels

The classification of the described equipment is based solely on what kind of ground it will move on. As a result, there are only three such varieties, let's get acquainted with them.

  • Swamp walkers. As the name suggests, they are intended for driving in swampy areas. They are considered a universal technique, since there are no obstacles for them - they are not afraid of stones, shallow water bodies, or snow.
  • Snowmobiles. These vehicles are used mainly in the northern regions of the country, where snow is almost all year round. For such a harsh terrain, this is, as a rule, the only possible technique for movement.
  • Amphibians. Inside wheel rims such cars have floating fillers, the bottom is completely sealed. In order to move along the water surface, a special water cannon is often used. By the way, in some modern models, the rotation of the wheels acts as a driving force in this case.

How much does this technique cost?

There are many types of snow and swamp vehicles equipped with low pressure tires. Let's take a look at the most popular ones as an example.

  • The most widely disseminated of them is, perhaps, "Niva" on MARSH, created on the basis of VAZ-2121 back in 1995. Externally, the car is no different from the original, only the wheel arches have changed. Due to the movement of the wheels, this "Niva" is able to move through the water, however, at a speed of only 4 km / h. Until today, no more than 400 of these all-terrain vehicles have been produced, which is not surprising, the price of the Niva Marsh starts from 1,200,000 rubles per model basic configuration(i.e. even without a winch).

  • Another serial swamp rover is SHERP released last year by the company of the same name. It looks compact and unusual. The suspension is pneumo-circulating (in other words, when one of the wheels hits an obstacle, part of the air from it passes into common system; thus all tires are balanced). This is the main disadvantage of the SHERP swamp-going vehicle: if one wheel is punctured, then all four will be lowered. Price standard configuration is approximately 3,850,000 rubles.

Note! Some craftsmen make such all-terrain vehicles with their own hands, which is understandable, because it costs at least several times cheaper.

This requires not only the appropriate skills, but also special equipment. Let's consider how this process takes place.

Do-it-yourself snow and swamp-going vehicles - is it possible?

Perhaps, but the procedure, as noted above, is not easy. You should start by choosing an engine. For the purpose of high cross-country ability, the following units are suitable:

  • motors from ZAZ models;
  • motors from motorcycles;
  • walk-behind tractors;
  • engines from domestic cars.

As a rule, for this, craftsmen use motors from motoblocks. As for the undercarriage, independent suspension is required. You can make it yourself from pipes, corners and channels, both articulated and solid. But in general, the manufacturing process consists of six main steps.

Stage one... First, a base is selected on which all the details will be installed. It can be a frame from a motorcycle or a car, or a homemade design.

Stage two... Next, the suspension and rear axle are created. The suspension should be independent - this is quite laborious, but the cross-country ability of the all-terrain vehicle, as well as the level of comfort while driving, will be higher. To connect the suspension to the rear axle, a steering bush and a special rack are used.

Stage three... After that, the wheels are installed to the suspension. Iron hubs are used to mount the cameras.

Note! Here you can use ready-made wheels with low pressure from KamAZ or Ural. This will increase the adhesion of the home-made vehicle to the surface, and driving safety will increase markedly.

Stage four... The previously selected engine is installed, and a cooling system for it is also equipped.

Stage five... The exhaust and brake systems, clutch are installed. In parallel, a building of the future design is being constructed. At the end, the wiring is arranged, all light sources are connected.

Stage six... A trial run is in progress. So you can check how efficient the created all-terrain vehicle is. If there are any problems or malfunctions, they must be eliminated immediately.

How to make a swamp vehicle with your own hands (video)

What is important to consider?

  1. Attention to work should be given daily. If you are not sure that you can do this, then it is better not to start anything at all.
  2. Create a draft of the future structure in advance. If necessary, use the drawings of other inventors, since there are a lot of such on the Internet.
  3. Plan your budget correctly. Yes, making it yourself will help you save a lot, but for this you need to calculate the cost Supplies and purchase them in advance. You also need to postpone a little in case "not enough".

As you can see, the described snow and swamp-going vehicles are very useful for difficult terrain. They are quite expensive, but if you have the skills and the appropriate equipment, you can save a lot by building a vehicle with your own hands.

Lightweight ATVs with oversized cameras are capable of tackling rough terrain that other types of SUVs cannot. Self-made vehicles of this type are simple, as complex technical base do not have under them, and this has won the recognition of the majority of home craftsmen. Such a technique is especially demanded by residents of rural areas, where precipitation greatly reduces the quality of roads, as well as among those who like hunting, fishing and extreme recreation.

Varieties of homemade all-terrain vehicles

Depending on the type of construction and chassis, the following types are distinguished homemade all-terrain vehicles:

  1. Boat swamp vehicles. They have a simple design and are relatively cheap to manufacture. Equipped with an outboard motor and allow you to move around shallow water.
  2. Tracked swamp vehicle allows you to ride on overgrown reservoirs, but it is quite difficult and expensive to manufacture, since it requires the attachment of a special type of caterpillar.
  3. Low pressure all-terrain vehicle- the simplest and most promising type of swamp-going vehicle, the performance of which depends on the design and reliability of the tires.

Some homemade products later become serial models. This happened with, which is now known all over the world.

Types of low-pressure homemade ATVs

Self-made all-terrain vehicles on low-pressure tires, having the same principle of off-road movement, can differ in type of design. There are the following main types of vehicles of this type:

1. All-wheel drive karakat ... In its design, it uses elements of transmission and running gear from outdated types passenger cars... It has four-wheel drive, transfer case, and the adapted hull of the boat in its lower part and tightness add buoyancy to the all-terrain vehicle. Designed to overcome swamps and swamps, is able to deliver goods and people to inaccessible areas.

2. Low pressure tricycle... It differs in the most simple design, and can be made by almost any car enthusiast in a garage. The basis for such an all-terrain vehicle is often the IZH Planet 3 motorcycle, thanks to its endurance and unpretentiousness.

3. Homemade karakat with motorized sidecar SZD... Its peculiarity is the location of the engine not under the frame or gas tank, but under the seat or in the rear of the all-terrain vehicle frame. Suspension parts are traditionally taken from cars, and motorcycle elements are used in the front. For the manufacture of the frame, pipes, channels and corners are used.

4. Low-pressure ATVs based on passenger cars or ATVs... They are made using ready-made main units by altering the transmission and chassis, as well as equipping them with low-pressure tires.

How to make an all-terrain vehicle on low pressure tires?

Work on the manufacture of an all-terrain vehicle begins with drawing up an action plan, the full implementation of which means achieving the desired result. The following tips can help you save time and money:

  1. Availability of free time, allowing you to regularly carry out work on assembling the all-terrain vehicle. In its absence, it is better not to start at all.
  2. Budget planning. Self-creation of an all-terrain vehicle allows you to save on the purchase of a serial model, but in order to eliminate unnecessary expenses, you need to make all the calculations and buy the necessary components and parts, as well as leave a certain amount for unforeseen expenses or the occurrence of breakdowns.
  3. Developing a plan. If you have experience in the development of vehicles or the makings of a design engineer, it is possible to independently create a drawing of an all-terrain vehicle. In the absence of such, they use someone else's experience and ready-made drawings, of which there are a sufficient number of them on the Internet.

DIY low pressure tires

Tires of this type visually resemble huge cushions that support the entire structure. The degree of adhesion in such wheels makes it possible to make the vehicle passable on any off-road. Depending on the design features, such tires are divided into the following types:

  1. Arched. They differ in increased dimensions in comparison with a standard wheel in width by 5 times, and have a thickness of up to 700 mm. The pressure in them is like in a regular ball - 0.05 MPa. Fits exclusively on the master drive.
  2. Wide-profile. They differ in oval design and up to 2 times lower than standard pressure. They are more often used in lifting transport.
  3. Toroidal. They are made in chamber and tubeless versions and are highly popular among motorists.
  4. Pneumatic having lugs to improve cross-country characteristics, and ribs to increase the rigidity, giving the entire structure stability and strength.

Factory-made low-pressure tires can be too expensive for many car enthusiasts. But for your own all-terrain vehicle, it is quite possible to make such a wheel on your own. The work is carried out in the following order:

1. The choice of starting material, for example, tires of agricultural or aviation equipment, as well as other types of industrial vehicles.

2. The tread is cleaned, washed and dried, after which the desired patterns are drawn to create your own pattern, as well as remove excess wire and rubber.

3. To remove excess wire, the inner part of the wheel is trimmed and the cord is removed with a.

4. Excess rubber is also removed with a winch, making cuts around the circumference and securing them with pliers to the cable, carefully pulling and cutting with a knife.


5. After removing the tread layer, the surface is smoothed with sandpaper.

6. Build the disc. To do this, use a standard disc cut in half, or welded from plates and pipes, and then carefully polished to prevent damage to the chamber.

7. The tire is stretched over the disc and secured with belts or a fire hose, after which it is inflated. The wheel is ready.

How to choose the type of tread for an all-terrain vehicle?

To select the right type of tread for an ATV with low pressure tires, you need to consider the following factors:

  1. The protector must be self-cleaning. This property is especially important for the use of the all-terrain vehicle in harsh and wetlands.
  2. When using an all-terrain vehicle on peat bogs, tires are chosen with a low and shallow relief, otherwise, if their top layer breaks, the grip will be insufficient for full-fledged movement.
  3. When used in snowy areas and on sandstones, tires are chosen with a rare pattern.

Choosing an engine for an all-terrain vehicle

Most often as a power unit for self-made all-terrain vehicle use the following type:

  1. Motorcycle.
  2. ZAZ car.
  3. Motoblock.
  4. Domestic cars.

The presence of a specific engine in an all-terrain vehicle does not make a fundamental difference. It is more important to take into account such a feature as ensuring its sufficient cooling, since the vehicle is operated all year round in various temperature conditions and at a low speed. For this, the ZAZ engine is excellent, it tolerates temperature differences well. ATVs powered by motoblock power units, also proved to be the best.

Another main criterion for choosing an engine for a future homemade product is its power.

The power reserve must be sufficient to allow the ATV on low pressure tires to get out of mud, water, or deep snow.

By choosing a unit with a power reserve, you get the best performance, prevent overheating and create conditions for the longest possible service life.

Features of the chassis of the all-terrain vehicle

Chassis off-road vehicles on low-pressure tires is manufactured in the form to give the all-terrain vehicle best qualities cross-country ability, increasing driving comfort vehicle and ride comfort for driver and passengers. This type design has the main drawback - the complexity of manufacturing.

To create it, pipes, corners and channels made of durable alloy steel are used, creating a strong base that can go out for several years without breakdowns. The frame is made both solid and articulated. The latter has a high working potential, but the complexity of manufacturing makes it quite rare in homemade designs.

The sequence of self-assembly of the all-terrain vehicle

Assembling an off-road vehicle on low pressure tires includes the following steps:

1. Selecting the type of all-terrain vehicle and the base on which the units and parts will be mounted. For this, frames of cars or motorcycles are used, as well as a home-made structure, developed in-house or borrowed from someone else's drawings.

2. Manufacturing and assembly of the rear axle suspension. For this, the optimal solution is independent design, and, although much more time will be spent on its creation, in the end you will get an all-terrain vehicle with more high qualities cross-country ability and ride comfort.


3. Installation of wheels. Produced after the completion of work on the creation rear axle and pendants. Metal hubs are used to mount the cameras. Correctly manufactured or selected low pressure wheels will provide the ATV with increased driving safety and good handling.

4. Installation of the engine. Particular attention is paid to the correct design of the cooling system.

5. Installation of additional systems. Includes connection brake system, offtake communications exhaust gases, clutch and. At this stage, the body of the all-terrain vehicle and lighting devices are being installed.

6. Completion of work and implementation of a trial test, which shows the performance of nodes and systems. If there are any problems or points that need to be improved, the deficiencies are eliminated, after which the all-terrain vehicle is ready for operation.

Video of testing a homemade all-terrain vehicle

All-terrain vehicles in our open spaces have always been held in high esteem. They are created for various purposes and tasks, by individual enthusiasts or specialized companies for which the production of equipment off-road- business. What specific models are there in our country?

Let's start with pickups. They are prepared in Krasnoyarsk from components of the Arctic Trucks company. The Russian representative office has been operating there for over seven years. The buyer receives finished car immediately on the numbers. That is, all modifications are legal, the necessary certificates have been received.

It is impossible to pass by the sensational all-terrain vehicle, whose cross-country ability is comparable to the capabilities of tracked vehicles, and even surpasses it in some parameters. The machine was designed by Alexey Garagashyan. The design of the all-terrain vehicle began in 2012, and the finished copy was presented in 2015 at the Moscow exhibition of crossovers and SUVs Moscow Off-Road Show 2015. The car is mass-produced in St. Petersburg. A feature of Sherpa is a pneumatic circulating suspension. The four wheels are connected to each other by air ducts. So when one wheel hits, say, a stump, the system will evenly distribute the excess pressure on the other wheels, and the driver will simply not notice the stump.

The Nizhny Novgorod company "Transmash" has turned the popular GAZelle into an all-terrain vehicle Kerzhak... There is both a six-wheeled version and a four-wheeled version. The construction of both modifications is frame. Kerzhak is equipped with a radiator with a 30% increased heat transfer, bridges - from the MTZ-82 tractor. Diesel engine, produced by ZMZ, with a working volume of 2.4 liters, and a power of 98 hp.

The all-terrain vehicle based on Lada 4x4 has been produced by the Togliatti firm "Bronto" since 1995. Last year Vadim Kryuchkov tested it. Togliatti residents widened the wheel arches to accommodate the huge wheels. Thanks to them, the car can float. The chassis is borrowed from the UAZ-469, and the 1.7-liter engine and gearbox are native. As an option, they offer the installation of two 70-liter fuel tanks. The carrying capacity of the Marsh is 350 kg. Upon request, the salon will be installed backseat... The spare wheel is housed there as standard.

All-terrain vehicle Lopasnya produced since 1999 by the Moscow firm "Arctictrans". The car can be either four-wheeled or six-wheeled. The design of the all-terrain vehicle is not frame. Both versions have a monocoque aluminum body, made on the principle of the aircraft fuselage. All-terrain vehicles are equipped with various engines - for example, from the Oka, VAZ-2108, etc. The own weight is 980 kg, the carrying capacity is 500 kg. Can swim.

Trecol-39294 has been produced since 2004 by the eponymous Moscow firm "Trekol". There are many options - cargo, passenger, 4x4 or 6x6. The body is made of fiberglass. The car is based on UAZ and GAZ units. Diesel motors to choose from: yes ZMZ engine and Hyundai. By order, Trekol will be equipped with a water cannon for movement on water. The carrying capacity of the all-terrain vehicle is 700 kg. Maximum speed- 70 km / h.

The first all-terrain vehicle Burlak appeared in 2015. It was created by the Ural designer Alexey Makarov. A total of 2 all-terrain vehicles were assembled. The second car, of a different design, was released in 2016.

The final drives were taken from the BTR-60. The transmission is of Aleksey Makarov's own design. At the heart of Burlak's design is a spatial frame on which an aluminum body is installed. In the front of the car there is a 145 hp engine. Burlak can swim. Carrying capacity without loss of buoyancy - 2 tons.

Another all-terrain vehicle manufactured by the Moscow company "Trekol" based on UAZ-31514 - Trekol-39041... The wheel arches were widened, and the body itself was supplemented with footrests to facilitate getting in and out of the car. Excellent cross-country ability tubeless tires dimension 1300x600-533. With them ground clearance the car grows up to 500 mm. The tires also provide a buoyancy reserve. Such an UAZ amphibious vehicle develops a water speed of up to 3 km / h. If you install a suspended boat motor- 10 km / h. Can be installed on the car as a gasoline ZMZ motor- 40905.10 with 128 hp and Hyundai D4BF diesel (83 hp).

Excellent cross-country ability is provided by tubeless tires measuring 1300x600-533.

Excellent cross-country ability is provided by tubeless tires measuring 1300x600-533.

Past the famous "Loaves" no way to get through. This all-terrain vehicle was also created by the Trekol company, and it is called the Trekol Profi. As you might guess, it is based on the UAZ-2206. The specialists of the Trekol company have modernized the fuel and exhaust system, supplied nine-leaf springs, reinforced axles and wheel reducers, original cardan shafts etc. The advantages of the all-terrain vehicle are its capacity and access to the engine from the passenger compartment, that is, repairs can be carried out in a warm place.

What about UAZ Patriot? There are also all-terrain vehicles on its base. Let's say Yamal H-4S, developed by LLC Yamalspetsmash. The all-terrain vehicle was specially designed for operation in the Far North. Five people can sit in the cabin. The Eberspacher irtronic autonomous heater will help maintain a normal interior temperature in abnormally low temperatures. As an option, the all-terrain vehicle will be equipped with a central tire pressure regulation system and an Sprut-9000 winch. Maximum speed Yamal H-4S- 55 km / h on an asphalt road.

Dear visitors of the site "Samodelkindrug" in the article presented to your attention, we will talk about the creation of an all-terrain vehicle on low-pressure tires.

This type of tire has an indisputable advantage over balloon rollers, first of all, it is their strength, puncture protection is more effective than that of previous balloon rollers. These low-pressure tires are very popular today among home-builders.

These wonderful tires are made from old car tires or tractor tires, for example, the author used from truck"KRAZ" The top layer is torn off from the tire in a special way, after marking all the details. After peeling, the tire becomes much lighter than it was, which makes it easy to use on these types of all-terrain vehicles.

All-terrain vehicles in our Country are extremely necessary, because you yourself know which roads), but an all-terrain vehicle does not need them, it only needs a direction. Being engaged in professional hunting or fishing, you have to overcome long distances over rough terrain, thanks to this technique, the trip is only for pleasure)

Basically, the guys collect their all-terrain vehicles right in their garages, from old domestic-made cars that serve as donors. In general, they make an excellent cross-country vehicle from simple auto-trash. And so, let's take a closer look at what the author needed to assemble his "iron horse"?

Materials (edit)

1) engine "OKA" 2) tires "KRAZ" metal corner 3) sheet stainless steel 4) pipe 16 and 20 mm 5) steel sheet 3 and 4 mm 6) bridge "VOLGA"

Instruments

1) welding machine 2) grinder 3) hammer 4) set of wrenches 5) pliers 6) file 7) vernier caliper 8) tape measure 9) drill 10) knife 11) winch

The process of creating an all-terrain vehicle on low-pressure tires with your own hands


Directly all work will take place in the garage of the master, look….

And so, first of all, the author prepares the bridges of the future all-terrain vehicle, namely, covers them with a special anti-corrosion compound, because this technique will have constant contact with water and dirt.

Further, the foreman prepared the engine from an outdated OKA car



And now the disks, along with the tires, are ready for use. According to the author, these wheels the best way for ATV.

Here's how we see the author welded the frame for the second half of the all-terrain vehicle from a professional square tube.

The nodes are also treated with an anti-corrosion compound. Since the operation of the all-terrain vehicle will take place in extreme conditions, you need to take care of all the intricacies and trifles in advance.

The hull was made in a waterproof design, in the form of a kind of boat.
The author worked on the bottom very well, so rust is not at all terrible.

I installed the wheels, and now the all-terrain vehicle is almost ready, the author still has a little more work to do on adjusting components and assemblies.

The master also made a special trailer for transporting the all-terrain vehicle to the place of its operation.



And here's the first trip out of town, fishing and hunting, and just for testing and pokatushek :) According to the author, the all-terrain vehicle keeps itself confident, the engine power is quite enough for this line-up and tire size.


Where do the firewood come from? From the forest :) As you can see in the photo, the author loaded the ATV's box with logs to capacity, most likely for the construction of some kind of temporary dwelling, or a shed, because they don't go to the taiga through the swamps for a couple of hours :) Everything is serious!

This concludes the article, I hope you enjoyed it :) Thank you for your attention!
