Azneftemash JSC (Azerbaijan) is a long-term partner of AvtoKrAZ, which uses KrAZ vehicles as a carrier for heavy hoisting drilling units. This company is a manufacturer of various oil and gas equipment, hoisting units, special equipment and tools for the oil and gas industry.

The KrAZ-7140H6 vehicle chassis with  8x6 wheel arrangement is intended for industrial and special equipment to be installed on it and operation on all kinds of roads and off-road. The chassis is equipped with a 375 h.p. Euro-5 diesel engine; gearbox - mechanical 9-speed, two-range; clutch - dry, single-disc and ABS. There is a steering gear - integral type with built-in power steering and the conventional three-seat cab.

KrAZ-7140H6 has the increased load carrying capacity (more than 30 tons), which became the decisive factor in the oilmen’ choice  to get it as a base chassis for the UP-100/125 drilling rig, intended for gas and oil wells servicing. The test of the first supplied batch of KrAZ-7140H6 vehicle chassis was successful and showed positive results. Therefore, it was decided by Azneftemash to continue cooperation and order another batch of the unique eight-wheeled KrAZ vehicles.

KrAZ trucks are valued by Azerbaijani partners for their high carrying capacity, reliable design, easy servicing and maintainability.
