In the 1950s the USSR manufactured biaxial MAZ-525 dump trucks with 25-ton carrying capacity.

The MAZ-530 had a similar layout to the MAZ-525, but becomes triaxial, thereby giving increasing payload capacity by 15 tons.

The new machine had two rear driving axles with an equalizer suspension, a frame representing the box beam and oversized tires 18.00-32.

In 1960 production of MAZ-530 was transferred to a new car factory BelAZ in the village of Zhodino near Minsk.

The BelAZ Design Bureau began the development of fundamentally new various capacity dump trucks, so MAZ-530 was discontinued.
