Where it started

MAX – the Original 6-Wheel Drive Amphibious ATV

Long before modern ATVs and utility vehicles existed, off-road travel was dominated by amphibious, six-wheel-drive machines—the first true ATVs.

MAX has been leading that charge since 1969, crawling through mud, water, snow, rocks, and terrain most vehicles can’t touch.

Today, MAX ATVs are trusted across countless applications—from trail riding and hunting to farming, search and rescue, and industrial work.

Go where no vehicle has gone before!

Our Line UP

MAX Range of
Amphibious ATVs

We are very excited to have acquired the highly successful Recreatives Industries MAX range of 6×6 Amphibious All-Terrain Vehicles (AATVs). The MAX range of Amphibious ATVs offers a family of vehicles that can meet any off-road mobility requirement.

Recreatives Industries Inc. and the MAX ATV range have an renowned reputation, which extends back to the earliest days of ATV design, during which MAX ATVs established a dominant presence. MAX remains an important player in this market, having benefited from careful development of proven design over many years and impressive global reach in sales.

The MAX range comprises the Max 2 (a compact two-seater with a separate load carrying space), the MAX 4 with an extended chassis and body-form capable of carrying four passengers, and the Buffalo All Terrain Truck which is a rugged utility vehicle offering room for two passengers plus a load in a hydraulically-tilting bed.

Smooth and efficient Independent Drive System

At the heart of all MAX ATVs is the ingenious non-differential T-20 Skid Steer Transmission system, a Borg-Warner design optimized to provide the balanced and controlled torque and traction control that is fundamental to off-road usage.

The T-20 provides true six-wheel drive with efficient transfer of torque and low braking losses, which critically, is not reliant on differential slippage as in competitive brands of amphibious vehicles.

Each side of the vehicle is independently driven – the T-20 is effectively two integrated but distinct transmission systems, one for the right side and one for the left.

This enables smooth tuning, turning from a standing start, and the elimination of uncontrolled transfer of power from one side to the other in mud or ice or snow, thus making for safer and more precise handling.

By stopping one side while the other side drives, the MAX ATV can make a complete turn within the length of the vehicle – a zero turning radius – either in forward or reverse.
