The development of GSBT on rubber-metal tracks with a carrying capacity of 8 tons was started in 1970 on the basis of the NAMI-0157M snow and swamp vehicle with increased carrying capacity. In 1976, an experimental batch of GSBT was manufactured, which passed preliminary, acceptance, and control tests. In 1977, the interdepartmental acceptance committee, which included representatives of the Ministry of Oil and Gas Construction, the Ministry of Oil Industry, the Ministry of Gas Industry, the Ministry of Geology of the USSR and the Ministry of Automotive Industry, recommended the GSBT for mass production.
In January 1981, all design documentation was transferred to pre-production. At the end of 1981, the first pilot batch was made. In August 1984, the GSBT was demonstrated at the USSR Exhibition of Economic Achievements. In the early 1990s in accordance with the economic situation, orders for these products and, as a result, production ceased.
In 2002, the production of a modification of the Ural-5920 called TS-1 began to be produced by the Continent plant in Yekaterinburg.[1] The modernization of the machine consists in finalizing the running gear and replacing the KAMAZ diesel engine with a more powerful YaMZ-238 engine.
