The Multicar 24 , also known as M 24 for short , is a light truck from the German Democratic Republic . The vehicle replaced the Multicar 22 in 1974 and was manufactured in various versions at VEB Fahrzeugwerk Waltershausen , which was part of the Vehicle Construction Association (IFA). In 1978 it was replaced by the Multicar 25 after four years of production .
Vehicle history
Initial considerations for revising the Multicar 22 were made at the end of the 1960s. One of the problems with the design was that there was only space in the cab for the driver, there was no front passenger. However, for certain jobs it was necessary to transport two people. The Multicar 23 was built in 1969 . The designation is made up of a 2 ton payload and a 3rd series. It was technically based on its predecessor, but had a completely redesigned cab that was already very similar to the later cab of the Model 24. But there was no series production.
Instead, the Multicar 24 was presented at the Leipzig trade fair in 1974. The truck was again equipped with a single-seat cabin, which, however, has been completely redesigned compared to the 22 model. The power was tripled from 15 to 45 HP (33 kW), as the old two-cylinder diesel engine was replaced by a four-cylinder. The top speed increased from 23 to 50 km / h. The engine again came from the Cunewalde engine factory .
The power of the engine is transmitted to the rear axle via a single-disc dry clutch and a synchronized four-speed gearbox. The rear axle could be equipped with a differential lock on request . In addition to the leaf springs , shock absorbers were installed on the front axle, but they were omitted at the rear. The entire cab can be folded forward for maintenance. The service brake is hydraulic and acts on all wheels, the handbrake mechanically and only acts on the front axle. Three different hydraulic systems were designed for the operation of various attachments, which were installed depending on the later application. Plant 01 is the simplest and is intended for pure tipper operation. Plant 02 enables some additional devices, plant 03 is designed to supply all other attachments that were on offer in addition to the tipping hydraulics. The delivery rates of the hydraulic pumps were accordingly 10, 16 and 25 liters per minute.
Since inquiries for a two-seater were repeatedly made in the early 1970s, the concept of the Multicar 23 was implemented in 1977 and a two-seater was built with the Multicar 24-0 . Otherwise the vehicle did not differ from the single-seat version. This step was originally planned for the successor Multicar 25. In total, including the Multicar 24-0, exactly 25,659 vehicles had been built by 1978, 48% of which were exported. From 1978 only the Multicar 25 was produced. There was also a company in Wehrheim in the Federal Republic of Germany that sold the vehicle.
The manufacturer and official authorities of the GDR called the vehicle the Multicar 24 and sometimes abbreviated it as M 24 (with spaces). In the colloquial language and literature of the post-reunification era, however, the designation Multicar M24 or Multicar M 24 found its way into, which was not intended by the manufacturer. The use of the IFA brand was inconsistent, the manufacturing plant had only been part of the Vehicle Construction Industry Association since January 1, 1978 .
Model variants
Various versions of the Multicar 24 were manufactured, some with special bodies. The following list does not claim to be complete.
- Multicar 24 01 - platform vehicle and basic model, without hydraulic system. Above all, the transport capacity has been increased compared to its predecessor.
- Multicar 24 09 - platform version with LH 300 loading aid. It is a mechanical tail lift .
- Multicar 24 10 - three-way tipper with low side walls. Equipped with the hydraulic system of type 01, which does not allow any additional devices.
- Multicar 24 12 - rear tipper with side walls twice as high as the standard model. Designed for coal transport with hydraulic system 01.
- Multicar 24 13 - dump truck , designed as a rear dump truck . With a modified loading area and hydraulic system 01. In order to also be able to transport concrete or almost liquid goods, the possible tilt angle has been increased to 76 °. Otherwise there is a risk that parts of the load will not slip out of the trough.
- Multicar 24 19 - Equipped with snow plow and spreading device for winter service. Various grit could be used, for example grit, sand or road salt. Even when fully loaded, the vehicle could still negotiate gradients of up to 25%.
- Multicar 24 22 - Special front-mounted brush roller and a derivative of the Multicar 24 48.
- Multicar 24 30 - Equipped with DLH 10 turntable ladder structure. It was mainly used in the construction and maintenance of overhead lines and street lighting. It is provided with the hydraulic system 02, which is also responsible for controlling the turntable ladder. In addition, a so-called terrain regulation is built in, which uses hydraulic supports to ensure that the vehicle is straight when working, even on sloping ground.
- Multicar 24 32 - special version with assembly platform. Unlike the turntable ladder, this could only be raised vertically. The operating staff assemble a steel mast cut into 2-meter pieces, piece by piece, on which the work platform can move up and down. The maximum working height is around twelve meters.
- Multicar 24 48 - washing and spraying vehicle. Equipped with a 1800 liter water tank and the hydraulic system 02. It was especially intended for sweeping and washing sidewalks and streets, but street signs could also be cleaned with it. Water could be drawn from water pipes as well as from bodies of water.
- Multicar 24 51 - collection container vehicle. It is a small garbage truck with a built-in garbage compactor. For example, public wastepaper baskets could be taught, the waste was compacted in the construction. With hydraulic system 02.
- Multicar 24-0 - with two-seater cabin, built from 1977. The superstructures remained the same as in the version with a narrow cabin.
