MAZ 5336 Overview

Since the beginning of the 1980s, the Minsk plant for the production of trucks has completely updated the entire range of the MAZ range. Thus, MAZ 5336 appeared in 1990. Then they were issued in small batches. Production was established by 1993. Since then, mass production of new machines has started.

Technical data

Initially, it was an on-board vehicle with a load capacity of 8 tons and a 4x2 wheel formula. Such data was owned and its predecessor, MAZ 500, nicknamed in the people "Ogre" (for the aggressive form of the cabin). After some time, the factory began to produce isothermal vans for the novelty. The total weight of the truck was 18 tons. Also the novelty could be completed with a trailer of the same brand. The trailer had a similar mass, volume and carrying capacity. On-board equipment was a metal base with flaps on the back and sides. The floor was wooden.

Thus, the tractor was able to transport cargo weighing up to 16 tons (8 per wagon and the same amount per trailer). However, judging by the reviews, thanks to a powerful turbodiesel engine, the wagon easily pulled and 20 tons of cargo at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour! This goal was pursued by the engineers when creating the new MAZ 5336. Reviews of the gearbox, unlike the engine, were negative: they often broke down, seized and did not want to work at all. But our drivers found a universal solution to this problem, replacing their own box with KAMAZovskuyu divisers. Then it turned out almost perfect car. By the way, the developers took this minus into account and in the next generations used the CAT from the German MAN.

Interior of a domestic truck

The cabin of the novelty was a two-seater with two sleeping bags, which was an ideal option for many car depots: two drivers were placed in the car at once. The driver's seat was sprung. Adjusted in different directions: length, height, as well as the angle of inclination of the back. In the cabin there was a heating system. The suspension was spring, the brake system was supplied with drum mechanisms.

Engines

The trucks MAZ 5336 are equipped with turbocharged eight-cylinder engines of the YaMZ 238. At that time, turbo-charging for domestic cars was an extreme rarity. The volume of the engine is 14.8 liters, the power is 300 horsepower. Thanks to the special design of the parts, the novelty is capable of reaching speeds of up to 115 km / h. Despite such a large working volume, fuel consumption was relatively low - 25 liters per 100 kilometers of run. Renewed and fuel pump (high-pressure fuel pump).

The novelty was intended for transportation of all types of cargo for long distances. The Maz 5336 complies with all TIR norms and requirements. The novelty, unlike its predecessors, had a lot of advantages:

• High carrying capacity.
• Optimum cost.
• Uncomplicated service.
• Powerful engine.
• Low fuel consumption.
• The volume of the cargo hold.
• Availability of spare parts.
• Excellent noise and sound insulation in the cockpit.
• Soft suspension and comfortable chairs.
• Sunshield.

As you can see, MAZ is an excellent choice for business.
