Choose vehicles for building a house

Having started an independent building a country house or garden, many are thinking about purchasing a vehicle for the transport of tools and materials, and debris removal. Passenger car for the daily needs for these purposes are generally of little use, and it is a pity "maim" him at a construction site. Maybe it's better to buy a used "gazelki" or small truck? But how convenient and cost-effective will such an option? Let's look at this together with the users FORUMHOUSE.

According to many members of the forum, if the owner plans after the construction of the house - the further operation of the car for daily needs, and replace it in the foreseeable future is not expected to acquire car specially "under construction" inexpedient. It is better to just buy a car vending. Oversized building materials to the construction site easier to drive hackney gazelle, and carry tools and supplies can be on the passenger car, especially if it is universal, says forumchanin tazer.

The price difference between the ordinary and trucks do not pay off. A pull of a body, while still having all the disadvantages of a large machine (dimensions, consumption, noise, handling, and so on. D.) For the construction of one silly.

Indeed, many members of this forum successfully rebuilt, with only car in the household. The main thing - that was a good trailer. Victor50 materials for their construction are delivered to the usual "Lada" 2106 trailer KMZ having additional extension tube shaft, which when connected can be transported dlinomery up to six meters.

I'm all for a trailer: bought once and for all life. CTP is not necessary, you do not need a checkup, trailer - and take me what you want... And to take "dead" Gazelle and lie down under it - in this sense I do not see.

Validating Bias I bought a trailer with dimensions 2,5h1,3 meters - it turned out that this is the standard size sheets of OSB, hardboard and other sheet materials. In his view, the main difference from the same trailer truck Gazelle - easy loading and unloading. No need to lift, for example, bags of cement on the high side, then climb in the body and shift the bag and so more than once, and in reverse when unloading. Also, if you need somewhere to go urgently - laden trailer can simply unhook and leave. And in the evening, "truck" flick of the wrist turns into a normal car. Well, after construction, in case of uselessness, its just enough to sell.

Bias(User FORUMHOUSE):

Most manufacturers indicate the maximum trailer weight of 750 kg, although he quietly withstand ton. I maximum load more than two tons, only the wheels had to disappoint. He drove in a season in the field almost every day, often on the road, the trailer broke down and paid for itself many times in comparison with the Gazelle.

The best choice for construction - trailers: they are comfortable with to unload sand, clay and other loose materials. user forum Nfnfhbyz when choosing a trailer also advises to pay attention to the wheel. Conveniently, if they are proportionate to the wheels of your car: it will be enough to take only one "spare tire." And be sure - and reclining front and rear side.

Pick-up - another option that many users are tested and evaluated. GOR777 forumchanin specifically for building bought a used Chinese Great Wall with hardtops. Very easy to use the device, he says, the permeability is quite decent, you can load nearly a ton, and in the body, unlike, for example, from the cargo compartment wagon can be loaded even clay, even the dung. Just wash it, and the interior will be clean.

GOR777 (FORUMHOUSE User):

Used Chinese pick-up is not a pity, you can ship whatever you want and go where and how you want, and then not wanted to sell for cheap, and buy a decent car.

User PVG1985 preferred option on the basis of domestic Lada 4x4. Claims - and he has not lost in the terrain, and capacity.

PVG1985 (FORUMHOUSE User):

Personal record: 4,69m3 insulation in bags, although a septic tank 3 cc looks good. When the build has started - even the "Belarusian" to me could not drive to the drainage trench to excavate, skidded 4:00. I stopped by normally.

However, the majority believes that the purchase pickup specifically for construction - is unreasonably expensive. It is a variant of the universal vehicle for active lifestyles. The same building materials in his body fit is less than decent size trailer. But for a more or less large-scale construction projects and trailer - still not the best option, forum users claim. Many prefer the Gazelle. For solid volumes of concrete, brick, rebar, etc. in any case, you need to book heavy transport, but on "Gazelki" convenient to bring up a wide variety of details that are required at the construction site continuously, especially during decorating. One can argue which option - body or van - it is more convenient, but that's a distinct advantage of the van: it is possible to leave the materials and tools without the fear that they "attach the legs."

Dubrovsky (User FORUMHOUSE):

I go on the Gazelle (board) have probably 20 years old. A second replaced. Business involves the construction site, to build houses, built his two homes. I do not see for yourself another car. The cabin is comfortable, parts without any problems. engine overhaul done in the workshop for two days and inexpensively.

One of the main disadvantages of Gazelles - low permeability. And when you consider that the majority of the construction of places we have to drive up not on asphalt, this disadvantage may outweigh the pros. Well, and the second - this car is still for "rukastogo": regular damage for him - a common occurrence. Validating Arkann owns "the villa" Gazelle for ten years and considers it indispensable assistant, only after 100,000 kilometers this car begins to literally "roll in," he says. Almost new radiator will flow and then suddenly the muffler will fall off ...

Gazelle alternative budget option - UAZ- "tadpole", especially with the extended base. With "free-flowing" He has the same problem, plus less handy small cabin, but there is a significant advantage - four-wheel drive.

Maksim3435 (User FORUMHOUSE):

I 3303. Short. Among the few drawbacks compared to Gazelle: capacity, capacity (a bit short, now would be looked long) fuel consumption. From the pros: patency (you can ride without roads), and when purchasing a used / y - easier to find quite lively option.

Another popular option - a small cargo van or minivan. For example, many forum users have highly praised the legendary Volkswagen Transporter model for a relatively low the cost (we are talking primarily about purchasing a used / the car specifically for construction), and solid profitability capacity.

But the acquisition of a small-size truck with manipulator would be justified only if it is used not only for one's own house built, and for work or business, according to forum users. Hardly justify such a purchase itself: all large-size, bulk and heavy (ie, the basic building material) is simpler, cheaper and less labor-intensive to transport shipping special transport.
