The MAZ-530 is a Soviet-era heavy-duty dump truck with 6×4 wheels, produced at the Minsk Automobile Plant and Belarusian Automobile Works from 1957 to 1960 and from 1960 to 1963, respectively.
== History == In the 1950s the USSR manufactured biaxial MAZ-525 dump trucks with 25-ton carrying capacity. In the mid-1950s the MAZ plant created a larger model. The MAZ-530 had a similar layout to the MAZ-525, but becomes triaxial, thereby giving increasing payload capacity by 15 tons. The new model had a more powerful diesel V-shaped 12-cylinder D-12-450 engine. The new machine had two rear driving axles with an equalizer suspension, a frame representing the box beam and oversized tires 18.00-32.
