Albanien 2017 ohne Musik Offroad 12m18 Steyr Pinzgauer KAT Unimog 

Vielen Dank für diesen lieben Kommentar. Für uns war es ein sehr einmaliges Erlebnis.

Geht mir genau gleich 😂👍🏻

This is exactly what I felt. It is so scary sometimes when the road is destroyed, crushed by one's own wheels.

What kind of strife are the Albanian children in ? Is it a current war or something else?

@Alex Altrichter: extreme poverty in remote regions

The strnge thing ia that the Steyrs have their centwr of gravity heigher than moat othera.

Take a 6 cilinder land cruiser, you gonna have more fun.

Moi aussi.

It was night and we can't Film it. Wit winch an shovel we turned the back from the 12m18. We need a lot of time for one truck. So nevt day a lot of snow and the rest drive the same road back. But the vew with new snow was amazing

With such high baricenter and so much tilting,softening the tyres would add to more tilting and possibly overturning.They also had good grip,not much sliding back,specialy when they put chains on.All in all well done,on my advice.

coachgeo And the decision to go with no deferential locker. Poor choice, glad he was able to complete the task, considering the added drama.

@coachgeo: the two Pinzgauers made it easily around that corner and drove ahead to survey the area. The Steyr you see in that corner, eventually made it in the night. There is a video too, but it’s too dark to see much. The rest of the group turned around, because the humanitarian aid mission was the priority and we had lost too much time there. Both groups met up the next day in Elbasan to finish the mission.

@Mike Zog: the 6x6 Pinzgauers drove ahead on most difficult sections, they were the ones with the least problems in heavy offroad sections. Their only issue was the load capacity, but they made up for that with agility, speed and offroad capabilities.

Now made in Greece under license by EΛΒΟ. Before these the Gr. army used the American Deuce or REO as it is better known there.

It´s a bit late but probably still interesting: all Steyr Trucks have solid axles front and rear except from the Pinzgauer and Haflinger, which have the same “Zentralrohrrahmen” as the Tatra trucks and independent suspension . In this Video there are two “Pinzis”, the smaller 6 wheel driven trucks, although they have been built as 4x4 as well.

@@beni12020 yep. my question is about the camper cabin sub frame not the vehicle suspension. Can understand the confusion though.

@coachgeo: all the Steyr trucks in the video have spring-mounted subframes, except for the Unimog and the MAN Ka1, which have the original flatbed with the MAN having the shelter bolted to it. The pivoting central mount systems have more disadvantages than advantages, i.e. higher centre of gravity, less stable onroad, especially during emergenca braking from higher speeds and in corners, hardly any advantages offroad, especially with vehicles that have front lockers like the Steyr and well engineered spring-mounted frames. The higher centre of gravity of the pivoting central mount systems is also a disadvantage offroad of course. I would take the spring-mounted system again anytime!

12 days only Albany. Elbasan Porocan Holtas

Der höchste Pass lag über 2000m Seehöhe. Dort hatten sich die Pinzgauer in einer sehr kompakten Schneewehe festgefahren. Wenn man weiß, das genug schweres Material dabei ist, natürlich kein Problem. ;-)

Steyr 680

Das liegt aber am langen Radstand des KAT1, er ist halt nicht so wendig. Glaub mir: Wo der KAT1 Schwierigkeiten hat, sind alle Anderen schon lange festgefahren

Appears to be a poor tire selection,....and no deferential locker.

Es sind eigentlich Straßen die sogar teilweise im GPS sind, nur nicht mehr genutzt werden. 😛

Porocan, Holtas und Kukur das sind die Schulen und das Kinderheim

@@Big20 Respekt 👍
