Starting in March, the Tutaev Motor Plant, a KAMAZ subsidiary in the Yaroslavl region, will begin producing a new product: a pulley block designed to increase the traction capabilities of vehicle winches.
According to Vladimir Shchannikov, Chief Engineer at TMZ PJSC, the product will be used in automotive applications alongside winches with a capacity of 20 to 30 tons. It is designed to double the winch's pulling capacity.
In 2025, the plant's technical services studied similar designs produced in Russia and internationally and developed a new product that is easy to operate in harsh conditions. Research and development work was completed, and a prototype was produced, which successfully passed testing in an accredited laboratory in Yaroslavl and as part of a vehicle at the KAMAZ Scientific and Technical Center. Based on the test results, the new product was recommended for use in automotive vehicles.
The components for the pulley block will be manufactured in the custom equipment and machine tool shop, the mechanical assembly shop, and the iron foundry of PAO TMZ. Assembly of the winch block will be organized in the custom equipment and machine tool shop.
Serial delivery of the pulley block to the KAMAZ PJSC conveyor is planned for March.
