It has B6 level ballistic protection against assault rifles like AK47s and R1s, but is upgradable to B7 protection against blasts and armour-piercing rounds. It is available as a single cab, double cab or armoured personnel carrier for up to eight people. As a civilian version it requires no NCACC permit and its applications include mining security, riot control, civil security, antipoaching and convoy protection of valuables in transit.

If you want to fire back, the Max 3 is fitted with weapon mounts for .50 calibre pintle mountings, remote weapon systems and the Scorpion 60mm and 81mm mortar systems. The vehicle can be fitted with customer furnished equipment such as communication systems.V8 turbo diesel mustering outputs of 151kW and 430Nm. The weight of the armourplating reduces the top speed from 160km/h to around 140km/h.
