ATV "MAKAR": review, description, technical characteristics, prices

After reading the article you will learn the history of the creation of the all-terrain vehicle "Makar", the technical characteristics of which are really impressive. The model, named after its creator, is an ideal vehicle for overcoming difficult areas. The machine can be used successfully for both work and leisure.

In addition, you can see the features of the new model of the all-terrain vehicle from the same manufacturer. It was called the Shuttle. Due to its technical characteristics and external data, the car easily copes with any impassability. In addition, another of its undeniable advantages is the internal filling. Almost completely, the car is made from domestic parts, so you will not have any special difficulties in performing its repair in the field.

Basic data

For some remote villages, ATVs are a thing of prime necessity. However, due to the high cost of such cars, not everyone who needs them can afford to purchase them. That is why new, exclusive models of all-terrain vehicles are created in one or several copies, to which the "Makar" all-terrain vehicle can also be counted.

Technical information on this car allows you to judge about it as one of the most powerful and reliable variants of all-terrain vehicles, so that it can be used for scientific and research work in the industrial field and agriculture. The machine is also operated as a universal tool.

History of creation

The Makar off-road vehicle can be classified as a unique car. And indeed it is. Its creator is Alexei Makarov, who developed the all-terrain vehicle specifically for use in the most inaccessible areas: in swamps and rivers, in the taiga. Coming up for her the name, the author used not only his surname, but also the famous folk saying: "Where Makar calves do not pass." It was a kind of confirmation that the car is suitable for driving, even in places where the human foot has not stepped.

The first copy was created in Yekaterinburg in August 2009 based on two Toyota Land Cruiser models - 78 and 80 models. At the same time, only bridges were taken from the last car. However, during the tests it was revealed that the all-terrain vehicle "Makar" has many defects, for the elimination of which it was spent about a year. And only in July 2010, the all-terrain vehicle was completely ready for use.

His first tests in harsh conditions, he took place in an expedition, the route of which included the abandoned railway "Nadym - Salekhard." On it, he traveled 320 km in 5 days. Despite the fact that "Makar" easily passed all the tests, having overcome wetlands, lakes, rivers and tundra, it was clear: for a more comfortable and safe journey, at least 2 similar cars will be needed. Therefore, Alexei Makarov started to create a second such machine.

Improvement

In order to create an improved all-terrain vehicle "Makar", the designer spent much less time. In this instance, he spent much more time refining the car in various details, thanks to which the all-terrain vehicle became more stable on the road and convenient to operate. Although its weight exceeded 2.5 tons.

In this all-terrain vehicle there are the following additional conveniences:

• Wood burning stove.
• Gas stove - the number of burners 2 pieces, a bottle of 12 liters.
• Gas generator.
• Table.
• Double-glazed windows on the front windows.
• Pre-heating fuel WEBASTO.
• Sofas - folding.
• Kitchen - can accommodate eight people.
• The wardroom.
• A lot of boxes for things.
• Headlamps are xenon.
• Tank under the water - 20 liters.
• Charger
• Luke
• Clock.

The Makar off-road vehicle is equipped according to the latest technology, thanks to which the model can survive more than two weeks in severe climatic conditions. Its reliability was confirmed during the second expedition, in which both cars took part. Cross-country vehicles overcame the ascent of the "Narodnaya" mountain. This is the peak, whose height is 1821 meters, located in the Urals.

At present, the number of such cross-country vehicles has already reached four, but only two of them are on sale. In addition, by purchasing a snow-bomber "Makar", be prepared for the fact that you will need to get the category "B" of driving.

External Data

When creating an all-terrain vehicle, Alexei Makarov completely excluded the details of domestic production. He believed that in this way he could protect the car from most failures. We list the main dimensions of the all-terrain vehicle:

• The length is 5780 mm.
• The width is 2400 mm.
• The height is 2450 mm.
• Weight - 2540 kg.

All-terrain vehicle features

Choosing a car that could easily overcome any impassability, pay attention to the all-terrain vehicle "Makar".

In addition, in this all-terrain vehicle there is a second cooling radiator, which makes it possible to operate the car without hindrance for a long time under severe conditions. The choice of Toyota Land Cruiser 78 as the main donor for the creation of the Makar all-terrain vehicle was made primarily because of the designer's personal commitment to this brand. As time and a series of tests showed, he was not mistaken. After all, the car has repeatedly confirmed its performance and reliability.

Innovation from "Makar"

Despite the fame that Aleksei Makarov was brought by the all-terrain vehicle for hunting and fishing "Makar", he did not stop there and continued experiments to create a new, unique all-terrain vehicle. So, already in 2015 he presented his new creation under the name "Shuttle". The ATV was named after the friend of the creator - Alexei Shatov, who, in fact, was the initiator of its creation.

Dimensions:

• The length is 720 cm.
• The width is 290 cm.
• Height - 320 cm.
• Wheels from K-700 are 1720x720x32 mm.

It is noteworthy that while developing the Makar all-terrain vehicle, the designer used exclusively imported parts. And when creating the Shuttle used domestic (with the exception of the engine), so that if you need to carry out repairs, you will not have special difficulties with the search and installation of spare parts.

In addition, according to the idea of the creator, "Shuttle" was supposed to become similar to the car "Hurricane", due to which its appearance turned out to be quite typical for a military vehicle, but completely uncharacteristic for an all-terrain vehicle.

Technical characteristics of the Shuttle

Initially, the car was planned to operate in the extreme north. Therefore, in order to withstand all possible loads, this model was to become not only reliable, but also quite powerful.

So, all-terrain vehicle "Shuttle" from "Makar" received the following characteristics:

• The wheel formula - 6x6 with step-by-step bridging.
• A suspension bracket lever - as a basis the suspension bracket from BTR-60 was used.
• The engine from "Mercedes" in volume of 6 liters is located in a back part of the car. It is deployed backwards and is located between the middle and rear bridges.
• The turbodiesel is 177 hp.
• Load-carrying capacity - 3 tons.
• Weight - 5 tons.
• Capacity - 10 people.
• Transfer case from the GAZ 3308 (YOGER).
• The total volume of fuel is 740 liters, of which 180 is poured into additional capacity.
• The pumping of wheels is made from the passenger compartment on each wheel separately.
• Suspension lever, spring.
• Racks "PRADO-95" - 2 per wheel.
• Gearbox - mechanical, 5-speed.

Despite the fact that the frame in this all-terrain vehicle as such does not exist, the Shuttle is equipped with an airtight boat. Due to this, its patency has increased significantly.

Permission for use

Buying the all-terrain vehicle "Makar", the description of which is presented in this article, be prepared for the fact that you will not have problems not only with the technical side, but also with the law. The model was certified. And the manufacturer has a special certificate necessary to put the all-terrain vehicle on the register in the GOSTEKHNADZOR bodies.

Its creator Alexei Makarov even made a special request to the head of the traffic police of the Sverdlovsk region. And he received an explanation according to which the car he created has the right to move along public roads if the driver has a driving license of category "B". In this case, any potential buyer can, if necessary, read a certified copy of this official letter.

Conclusion

If you are going on an expedition or just want to facilitate work in the production or in the agricultural sector, buy a Makar all-terrain vehicle, the price for which, depending on the equipment, is from 2.8 to 4 million rubles. Despite the fact that this is quite a large sum, it fully reflects the cost of creating such a vehicle.
