Sketches of the new project prepared designers V. Zharkov, V. Tsarev and L. Beetle.Eight months in Minsk 1 SKB developed a special chassis, which is called MAZ 543. The chassis was created so that can carry various heavy equipment on any road at any time of the year, under conditions of severe cold and heat.
differ MAZ unique cabin layout, which is not used anywhere else.Designer BL Shaposhnikov severed one cabin into two distinct.Since different types of accommodation long to come up with the rocket failed.Cabs were designed for 2 people, sitting one behind the other.They are made of reinforced fiberglass and polyester resin.When the tests were carried out on its strength, collapsed stand, where it installed.Cabin itself remained intact.It is not very large in size, as was fit rail dimensions.

In a further embodiment MAZ 543 M changed the front part.Increased: the area behind the cockpit and load.It is possible to create a machine for combat duty.

MAZ 73101 released in 1976.It differs in that it was not a special equipment.It can be used with two-axle MAZ 8385. The length of the entire train was 20550 mm.Such packaging used for the transport of wood and huge pipes.
MAZ 7313 - a modified chassis design, increased capacity for one more ton curb weight vehicle remains the same.And the same version, but with a shorter chassis appeared under the label MAZ 73132.

Workers' Hurricanes ยป
