The MAZ-5516 is a 6x4 dump truck built by the Minsk Automobile Plant since 1994. It is made with two cab variants, a short cab and a long cab; the version with a cab without a sleeping berth carries the index MAZ-551603. The most common modification is the MAZ-551605, fitted with a 330 horsepower YaMZ-238DE2 engine. The MAZ-551608-236 is a grain-carrying version with two-sided side unloading, a body enlarged to 22 cubic metres and a payload of 20 tonnes, and it can work with a three-axle trailer of the same volume. The MAZ-551608 dump truck has a 400 horsepower YaMZ-7511 engine. A chassis version of the MAZ-5516 is also made. From 2008 the trucks were fitted with the YaMZ-6582.10 engine, a modernised YaMZ-238DE2 with a new designation and the same 330 horsepower, meeting the Euro-3 standard, and that truck is called the MAZ-5516A5. The MAZ-5516A8 has the 400 horsepower YaMZ-6581.10 engine to Euro-3 and otherwise the same data as the MAZ-551608. The MAZ-6501 family later followed it as its successor.
