The pride of Belarusian mechanical engineering is the BELAZ quarry dump truck plant

History of the BELAZ enterprise

The Belarusian Automobile Plant, or BELAZ, is one of the world leaders in the production of quarry dump trucks and other equipment for the mining industry.

The history of the enterprise began in the post-war year of 1946 in Zhodino with the production of peat mining equipment. However, already in 1958 the plant was re-profiled to produce heavy dump trucks, laying the foundation for its future glory.

Over the history of the enterprise, over 130 thousand units of quarry equipment have been produced here. BelAZs are the largest vehicles in the CIS.

What is BELAZ famous for?

World recognition

The BELAZ plant is one of the world's seven leading concerns for the production of quarry equipment, supplying its products to more than 80 countries around the world. The company holds approximately 30% of the world market for extra-large-capacity quarry dump trucks.

Record cars

The plant is famous for its giant dump trucks. The BelAZ-75710 stands out in particular – it is the largest quarry dump truck in the world, listed in the Guinness Book of Records. It is capable of transporting up to 450 tons of cargo, and its dimensions are mind-boggling: about 9.9 m high, 20.6 m long and 8.3 m wide.

Technological development

Throughout its history, BELAZ has been constantly improving technologies, introducing innovative solutions in the field of mechanical engineering, which ensures the reliability and efficiency of its equipment in the most severe operating conditions.

Отличная экскурсия. Спасибо экскурсоводам Юлии (от туроператора) и Анастасии (экскурсовод по заводу) не только за интересную информацию, но и за подачу этой информации (дружелюбно, непринужденно, позитивно, как будто с хорошим другом беседуешь). А на обратном пути Юлия дала много полезной информации по покупкам, по точкам питания, по режиму работы экскурсионных объектов (нам все пригодилось). Спасибо.

Гид, которая встретила и провожала на автобусе до и после экскурсии была профессиональна, интересно рассказала небольшую обзорную экскурсию. На заводе был другой гид, жующий жвачку и бегом пробежавший \"по верхам\".

Было интересно!

Прекрасная экскурсия от Юлии во время поездки и от Людмилы непосредственно на заводе. Было полезно увидеть и конвейер, и схему, как собирается такой огромный автомобиль (всего 8 часов!) И послушать историю самого завода. Гордость берет за таких людей, которые в 90е его не дали распилить, которые заботятся о работниках завода

Увлекательная и информативная экскурсия. Отдельная (бронируйте) и очень запоминающаяся опция для детей (и взрослых!) - поездка в кабине "БелАЗа". Небольшие приятные презенты для всех участников и возможность приобрести заводской мерч и интересные сувениры на территории предприятия. А главное, экскурсовод Екатерина очень радушный человек, явно любит свою работу, классно рассказывает о "жодинских богатырях", производственном процессе и т.д. и умеет заинтересовать детишек и их родителей. Спасибо!

Промышленный туризм - это отдельный вид осмотра достопримечательностей, позволяет разнообразить впечатления, отвлечься от истории и природы Беларуси. Приятно было получить сувениры на память. Отдельное спасибо гиду в автобусе Светлане за рассказ о тонкостях белорусского языка. Вроде бы не по теме экскурсии, но было очень интересно и познавательно
