Powertrain & Running Gear
371 hp diesel engine: The truck is fitted with an original SINOTRUK 371 hp diesel engine for heavy-load hauling and tipping operations.
8×4 chassis: The four-axle layout provides a load-bearing configuration for demanding bulk-material transport, with the main frame built from Q345B/S690QL high-tensile steel longitudinal beams.
Heavy-duty axles: The running gear uses heavy-duty axles matched to the selected chassis specification, providing the load capacity required for the intended operating conditions.
Leaf spring suspension: Mechanical leaf springs are used as the standard suspension, while air suspension is available for selected configurations.
Dump Body & Hydraulic Tipping System
U-shaped or rectangular body: The two body styles cover different bulk-material loading requirements. Dimensions can be adjusted to suit the required loading volume and vehicle specification.
Abrasion-resistant steel: The body uses high-strength steel in 6–10 mm thickness. HARDOX 450/500 or Q460C is available for applications involving greater impact and wear.
Hydraulic tipping: A hydraulic cylinder raises the body for unloading, with a 40–55° tipping angle and a reference lifting time of 25–40 seconds.
Reinforced structure: Reinforcement sections and anti-collision ribs strengthen areas exposed to repeated loading and impact, particularly when handling dense or abrasive materials.
Cab
HOWO cab
The truck uses the classic SINOTRUK HOWO cab, with interior equipment and cab details varying by vehicle series.
Practical layout
Storage and ventilation features support routine driving and daily vehicle operation without adding unnecessary complexity to the cab configuration.
Typical Applications
Mining and quarrying: Suitable for hauling stone, aggregates, ore, and other materials that place high impact and abrasion demands on the cargo body.
Earthmoving: Used to move soil, sand, gravel, and construction debris between loading and unloading sites.
Road construction: Suitable for transporting aggregates, fill materials, and other bulk materials used in road-building projects.
Construction transport: The body structure can be matched to different bulk construction materials and loading requirements.
